MSHA Silica Rule On June 30, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), created by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, proposed changes to its silica rule. MSHA’s regulations apply to mine operators, but MSHA’s jurisdiction also covers construction activity at mining sites. As such, the Construction Industry Safety Coalition, to which TRIA belongs, is drafting comments to MSHA which are due Sept. 11.

This new and improved edition will include the ASCE-7-22 wind code requirements that will be in effect in 2024. The current July 2015 version will still be the code until 2024 and we will be offering training courses on both versions during the year. In addition, the 7th Edition Florida High Wind Concrete & Clay Tile Installation Manual – FRSA & TRI Alliance will be added in the Florida training schedule as Florida will transition in January 2024 to the updated codes. As part of our new training program, we have created a new and innovative digital badge program for those individuals that attend and successfully complete a formal course offering. In addition to the two installation manuals there will be specialized training created for a greater in-depth discussion on topics focused for the design professional, code officials, inspectors, or advanced contractor training. Our contractor search platform will include the new digital badges as part of the training benefit. We are currently working with our partnering associations and associate supplier members to put specific venues in place. In addition, we will be expanding this list with contractor hands on classes where there is demand in the local markets. We are providing online versions to allow those unable to travel to our in-person training, to have access to the various programs we are offering.

If we might provide any further information, please feel free to email us at [email protected]  The TRI Alliance in collaboration with its associate member UNIRAC, announced today the formation of an industry Solar task group to begin discussions on the proper installation of solar equipment on steep slope concrete and clay roofing tile applications. Over the years the need for the roofing industry to better understand how to mount and install these proprietary systems on steep slope applications has been raised from local code officials, manufacturers and contractor organizations. The initial focus will be on proper fastening to the roof sheathing/truss and providing flashing and sealing of roof penetrations to allow the roof assembly to perform as designed and in compliance with local and national building codes. The task group is hopeful through discussions of creating a generic technical bulletin that can be used to identify areas of concerns and best practices in creating longer lasting installations without jeopardizing roof performance. The task group will discuss both new and retrofit installations. The task group welcomes additional participants that wish to be part of the discussions.
