Further clarification in the annex of the role of fire watch and also more advisory material describing management responsibilities
-
Requirements for consideration of non-horizontal spark or slag travel hazard
-
Requirements and advisory material for the consideration of personal protective equipment

A new chapter "Sole Proprietors and Individual Operators" to consider the "one-person shops"
