OSHA 1,000 lbs requirement on bar grating
(OP)
Is there any guidance on how to apply the 1,000 lbs. concentrated load required in OSHA 1910.24c on bar grating? Does the 1,000 lbs. have to be applied on a single bar? or can it be spread over 2 or 3 bars?

I believe in the IBC building codes, possibly ASCE 7, they define a "concentrated load" as being over a 30" square area, which is more likely how OSHA would interpret it.
