Washington有何不同
Washington 运营经联邦OSHA批准的州计划，由 L&I DOSH 依据 WAC Title 296. 这意味着该州不仅遵循联邦OSHA — 它制定并执行自己的工作场所安全标准，这些标准可能比联邦最低标准更严格。
对于在 Washington，这意味着您需要满足该州特定要求，而不仅仅是联邦基准。 L&I DOSH 自行进行检查、发出引用通知并设定自己的处罚金额。

总承包商主要危害
总承包商面临独特的多雇主责任 — OSHA可以将总承包商作为控制雇主进行引用，即使是分包商造成的危害。
- 高处坠落 (29 CFR 1926.501) — 坠落是建筑业的头号杀手。总承包商负责多雇主工地的坠落防护，即使是在高处工作的分包商团队。
- 物体打击 (29 CFR 1926.602) — 坠落工具、摆动荷载和车辆撞击。管理现场多个行业的总承包商面临重叠作业带来的复合打击风险。
- 沟槽和开挖坍塌 (29 CFR 1926.652) — 沟槽坍塌致命迅速。总承包商必须确保在任何工人进入超过5英尺的开挖区之前，防护系统（放坡、支撑、挡护）已就位。
- 脚手架危害 (29 CFR 1926.451) — 不当搭建的脚手架每年导致数千次违规引用。总承包商必须验证其工地上的脚手架资质和检查计划。
- 多雇主工地协调 (Multi-employer citation policy) — 作为控制雇主，总承包商可能因分包商造成的危害而被引用。现场安全协调和每日巡检至关重要。
总承包商最常被引用的违规: Fall protection (1926.501), 脚手架 (1926.451), 梯子 (1926.1053), 危害通信 (1910.1200), and 开挖/沟槽 (1926.652)
