CFR Part 1926 covers which OSHA standards?

• A. OSHA STANDARDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
• B. OSHA STANDARDS FOR GENERAL INDUSTRY
• C. Maritime safety standards
• D. Agricultural safety standards

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that OSHA regulations are organized by industry, with separate parts for different work environments. CFR Part 1926 contains the standards specifically for the construction industry, addressing hazards unique to worksites such as scaffolding, fall protection, ladders, excavation, and electrical safety on construction sites. This part is distinct from the general industry standards found in Part 1910, and from maritime and agricultural standards, which are in different parts (maritime under other parts and agricultural under Part 1928). So Part 1926 is the set of OSHA standards governing construction workplaces.
