Steps
Establish job-specific wind and weather stand-down criteria before work begins, since OSHA's RDS rule does not itself specify a numeric wind-speed limit
Where a specific wind-speed or weather threshold is used, confirm whether it originates from ANSI/IWCA I-14.1 guidance, a company or contractor safe-work-practice document, or the equipment manufacturer, and cite that source accurately rather than attributing it to OSHA
Absent a specific numeric standard, apply OSHA's General Duty Clause obligation to address a recognized hazard (unsafe wind/weather conditions) through a documented site-specific determination
Assign a designated person authority to halt work and lower personnel when conditions exceed the established threshold
Document weather monitoring and stand-down decisions for each shift
Known gotchas
Do not present a specific wind-speed number as an OSHA requirement unless it is actually written into a citable OSHA standard for the operation in question - federal RDS rules do not set a specific numeric wind limit
Locally adopted numeric thresholds (company policy, manufacturer guidance, or voluntary standards) should be labeled by their actual source in client-facing safety documentation
