ASSE, as secretariat of the A10 ANSI Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) for Construction and Demolition Operations, has continued to receive a number of inquiries related to ANSI/ASSE A10.15-1995(R2005): Safety Requirements for Dredging.
Due to these inquiries, we have put together a “guide” for those with interest.
Title: Safety Requirements for Dredging
Scope: Establishes safety requirements for the erection, handling, fitting, fastening, reinforcing and dismantling of structural steel, plate steel, steel joist, and metal deck at a final, in-place field site during construction, maintenance, and dismantling operations.
Past versions of the standard were released in 1987 and in 1974.
