The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) regulates the construction of buildings with tilt-up concrete panels by requiring the panels to be temporarily braced to prevent panels from overturning or collapsing during the construction of a tilt-up structure. As OSHA does not specify how to prevent tilt-up wall panels from overturning or collapsing, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) developed a temporary bracing guideline for use by the tilt-up construction industry to provide a recognized standard for this critical phase of the project.
