Standing Water & Drainage
priority_high Why it matters
§1910.22(a)(2) requires walking-working surfaces to be kept dry where possible and drained where wet processes are used. Ponding on a roof or deck is both a slip hazard and the root cause of the concrete and waterproofing failures that show up later.
event_repeat How often it's checked
OSHA cites the slip exposure whenever it's observed. On the building-code side, the failed waterproofing that causes ponding is a recurring finding on Milestone and 40-year recertification inspections — so it tends to resurface on the 10-year recert clock if it isn't truly fixed.
construction How La Gala fixes it
We correct the drainage and re-waterproof — re-sloping, deck coatings, drain repair and joint sealant — so the surface sheds water and the hazard doesn't come back.
