This law defines a 'building' as any steel-framed structure with multiple floors that is taller than two stories while it's being constructed.

This law explains that specific construction rules apply to buildings with multiple levels or stories. However, these rules do not apply to steel-framed buildings with large open spaces, like those used for mills, gymnasiums, auditoriums, hangars, arenas, or stadiums.

In any building, the derrick or working floor must be fully covered with a solid surface except where there are openings for access.

This law mandates that during construction work like erecting, riveting, bolting, welding, or painting of beams, a strong temporary floor must be installed within two floors below where the work is happening. If workers are at risk of falling for a short time, they must use safety belts as described in another section.

This law requires that temporary floors be made from wood planks that are thick and strong enough to safely support the weight of workers and materials. The planks must be at least two inches thick and should not be smoothed or reduced in size.

This law requires that temporary flooring, like those used in construction projects, must be secured so they don't get moved or damaged by strong winds or other forces.

Planks used in construction or scaffolding should extend at least 12 inches beyond the center of the supports at each end to ensure safety and stability.

This law requires that any gaps or holes near columns, where planks don’t fit snugly, must be covered using wire mesh or exterior-grade plywood. This helps to ensure safety by preventing objects or people from falling through these openings.

If you're using metal decking instead of wooden planks, it needs to be just as strong and must be placed securely so it doesn't move.

When floor planks are taken out temporarily during work, they must be put back right after the work is done. If they aren't immediately replaced, the open space should be properly secured to prevent accidents.

This law requires that before any temporary floor planks are removed, supervisors must instruct employees on how to safely and properly carry out the task, including the correct order of steps to take.

This law section requires that when workers are gathering and stacking temporary floor planks on a lower floor for use on an upper floor, they must remove the planks in a specific way. They should start from one end and move towards the last panel, ensuring they are always standing on a planked floor as they work.

This law requires that when workers are involved in collecting and stacking temporary floor planks, they must wear safety belts connected to a secure lifeline. This ensures their protection while working at heights, using either a catenary line or another strong anchor point.

This law requires that when building a structure, the methods used for assembling it, like bolting or welding, must always keep the structure stable. It should not only bear its own weight but also support any equipment or external forces during construction.

In construction projects where a building is being built in multiple sections, each separate section is considered its own distinct building.

This law requires the use of safety belts and nets as specified in the Construction Safety Orders, which are guidelines set by the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to ensure worker safety on construction sites.

This law states that if you are doing any work or have assigned work to someone else, you must use the required safety planking or nets before starting. If you don't, it's considered a misdemeanor offense.

This law states that the Division of Occupational Safety and Health is responsible for making sure that the rules and regulations in this article are followed.
