Alternatively, beams may be laid on their sides. When beams and pontoons are stowed in tiers more than one high, dunnage or other suitable material must be used under and between tiers.
(3) Employers must not obstruct access to vessels, cranes, vehicles, or buildings with cargo and materials. Means of access and egress within buildings must be unobstructed.
