Ibberson Company, TIC—The Industrial Company, and Zachry Construction Corporation; Grant of a Permanent Variance AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Labor. ACTION: Notice of a grant of a permanent variance. SUMMARY: This notice announces the grant of a permanent variance to Calaveras Power Partners L.P., Matrix Service Inc., T.E. Ibberson Company, TIC—The Industrial Company, and Zachry Construction Corporation (‘‘the employers’’). The permanent variance addresses the provision that regulates the tackle used for boatswain’s chairs (29 CFR 1926.452(o)(3)), as well as the provisions specified for personnel hoists by paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4), (c)(8), (c)(13), (c)(14)(i), and (c)(16) of 29 CFR 1926.552. As an alternative to complying with these provisions, the employers may instead comply with the conditions listed in this grant; these alternative conditions regulate hoisting systems used during inside or outside chimney construction to raise or lower workers in personnel cages, personnel platforms, and boatswain’s chairs between the bottom landing of a chimney and an elevated work location. Accordingly, OSHA finds that these alternative conditions protect workers at least as well as the requirements specified by 29 CFR 1926.452(o)(3) and 1926.552(c)(1) through (c)(4), (c)(8), (c)(13), (c)(14)(i), and (c)(16).
