For buildings over 40,000 sq feet, how many additional S-60 watchpersons are required?

The requirement for additional S-60 watchpersons at construction sites is determined by the size of the building. For buildings exceeding 40,000 square feet, the regulation mandates that one additional watchperson is necessary for every 40,000 square feet of the building area. This means that if an existing building is already 40,000 square feet and construction expands that area, there will be a need for an extra watchperson to ensure safety and compliance with regulations designed to prevent incidents.

In the case of a building that is exactly or just over 40,000 square feet, this provision allows for the maintaining of heightened safety oversight to manage the risks associated with larger construction projects. The established ratio of one additional watchperson per every 40,000 square feet ensures that sufficient staff is present, facilitating proper monitoring of safety protocols and emergency responses throughout the construction site.
