General Requirements - Floor Loading Protection

Floor Loading Protection is another general requirement topic. Employees must know how much weight a surface can support and be responsible for not overloading it. Load rating limits will be posted and must be followed.

The law states:

"Load rating limits shall be marked on plates and conspicuously posted. It shall be unlawful to place, or cause, or permit to be placed, on any floor or roof of a building or other structure, a load greater than that for which such floor or roof is approved."
