Shipyard Employment Standards (29 CFR Part 1915); Extension of the Office of Management and Budget's Approval of Information-Collection (Paperwork) Requirements

Streszczenie

OSHA requests comment concerning its proposed extension of the information-collection requirements specified by its Shipyard Employment Standards (29 CFR part 1915). OSHA also requests comment on the proposed decrease in burden hours associated with the information collected. The paperwork provision of the Standard specifies a requirement for testing hooks (29 CFR 1915.113(b)(1)) and for examining and testing portable air receivers and other unfired pressure vessels (29 CFR 1915.172(d)) used in shipyards. The employer must prepare a certification record to certify that the tests were performed as specified in the Standard. The purpose of the requirement is to reduce employees' risk of death or serious injury by ensuring that equipment is in safe operating condition.
