Can someone tell me what are OHSA regulations concerning using 2 versus 4 bolts for steel columns baseplates?
 
Section 1926.755 "Column Anchorage" states:
(a) General requirements for erection stability. (1) All columns shall be anchored by a minimum of 4 anchor rods (anchor bolts).

(2) Each column anchor rod (anchor bolt) assembly, including the column-to-base plate weld and the column foundation, shall be designed to resist a minimum eccentric gravity load of 300 pounds (136.2 kg) located 18 inches (.46 m) from the extreme outer face of the column in each direction at the top of the column shaft. * * *
