This Instruction is intended to help Compliance Safety and Health Officers (CSHOs) safely inspect roadway and highway construction work zones and to issue consistent citations for violations. Working near fast-moving public traffic presents obvious hazards for CSHOs performing inspections. This Instruction provides guidance for proper citation under 29 CFR 1926, Subpart G Signs, Signals, and Barricades, which incorporates by reference Part VI of the Federal Highway Administration’s Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 1988 Edition, Revision 3 as well as the Millennium Edition, December 2000. This Instruction also provides general enforcement guidance on issuing citations for § 5(a)(1) General Duty Clause violations. (Author/publisher)
