The Work Surfaces, Control Devices and Emergency Equipment standards cover employee-occupied areas and set minimum safety limits for lighting, flooring, housekeeping, entrances and exits.
Every employer must comply with the Work Surfaces, Control Devices and Emergency Equipment Standards.
Use the Safety Inspection for Work Spaces and Surfaces Checklist to help you comply. Include general information on potential hazards in your written IIPP.
Inspections are not required. Most situations are covered by IIPP inspections. Record employee training and document any inspections.
Training is required if engineered controls, such as guard rails, are used. Include the training as part of your IIPP training.
