Appendix F to Subpart R of Part 1926 - Perimeter Columns:
Non-Mandatory Guidelines for Complying With § 1926.756(e) To
Protect the Unprotected Side or Edge of a Walking/Working Surface
In multi-story structures, when holes in the column web are used
for perimeter safety cables, the column splice must be placed
sufficiently high so as not to interfere with any attachments to
the column necessary for the column splice. Column splices are
recommended to be placed at every other or fourth levels as design
allows. Column splices at third levels are detrimental to the
erection process and should be avoided if possible.
