The following LSPA practice tip was introduced at the March 2023 Membership Meeting, which was held virtually on March 14, 2023.
Among other provisions, the health/safety requirements for MCP response actions set forth at 310 CMR 40.0018 specify that a worker health/safety plan must be implemented to the extent required by OSHA under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 651 et seq., and any other applicable federal, state, or local law.
Other OSHA requirements may also be applicable at MCP Disposal Sites. For example, OSHA Construction Industry Standards (29 CFR 1926) address trenching/excavation hazards. Construction industry trenching/excavation regulations and guidance may be found here: https://www.osha.gov/trenching-excavation/construction
