Masons recommends that the provisions of the American National Standards Institute's (ANSI A 10.9), OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act, Part 1926) and the American Concrete Institute's Guide to Formwork for Concrete (ACI 347) be strictly followed when considering safety factors and safe working loads.
