Regulation Title: 16 VAC 25-150-10 Underground Construction, Construction Industry

Description: Requires employers to comply with any more stringent requirements contained in the Virginia Confined Space Standard for the Construction Industry, 16 VAC 25-140, when working in underground construction areas which also meet the definition of "confined space" in 16 VAC 25-140. This regulation changes the atmospheric testing requirement for oxygen from a maximum level of 22% in the air to 23%.
