“(b) Establishment means a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. (For example: A factory, mill, store, hotel, restaurant, movie theatre, farm, ranch, bank, sales office, warehouse, or central administrative office.) Where distinctly separate activities are performed at a single physical location (such as contract construction activities from the same physical location as a lumber yard), each activity shall be treated as a separate physical establishment, and a separate notice or notices shall be posted in each such establi…”
“(a)(1) Each employer shall post and keep posted a notice or notices, to be furnished by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, informing employees of the protections and obligations provided for in the Act, and that for assistance and information, including copies of the Act and of specific safety and health standards, employees should contact the employer or the nearest office of the Department of Labor.

Question 1
A general contractor is building a highway interchange. Crews are spread along several miles of roadway, and the company's trailer sits at a staging yard where every worker reports at the start of each shift. The site superintendent wants to post the required OSHA notice at the active work face, which changes weekly. According to the standard, where must the notice be posted?
Show answer and source
Answer: D. At the staging yard location where employees report each day
For physically dispersed activities such as construction, the standard requires the notice to be posted where employees report each day, which here is the staging yard. Posting at a moving work face or at a distant office does not meet that requirement.
Answer D rests on
29 CFR 1903.2(b)(opens ecfr.gov in a new tab)“Where employers are engaged in activities which are physically dispersed, such as agriculture, construction, transportation, communications, and electric, gas and sanitary services, the notice or notices required by this section shall be posted at the location to which employees report each day.”
Question 2
A general contractor runs a highway bridge project with a field trailer at the site entrance. Crews of carpenters and ironworkers report to the trailer each morning and then disperse across the work area, which spans several hundred yards. The safety technician must decide where the OSHA notice required by the Act should be posted. Which location complies?
Show answer and source
Answer: A. At the trailer where employees report each day
For physically dispersed activities such as construction, the standard requires the notice to be posted at the location to which employees report each day, here the trailer. The main office is not where these employees report, and the standard does not require a copy at every work front.
Answer A rests on
29 CFR 1903.2(b)(opens ecfr.gov in a new tab)“Where employers are engaged in activities which are physically dispersed, such as agriculture, construction, transportation, communications, and electric, gas and sanitary services, the notice or notices required by this section shall be posted at the location to which employees report each day.”
