Subpart R deals with industries singled out by OSHA that need to be addressed in industry-specific standards. These industries include pulp, paper and paperboard mills, textile mills, bakeries, laundries, and sawmills. It also includes industries such as pulpwood logging, telecommunications, electric-power generation, trans-mission, and distribution, and grain-handling facilities.

Checklist

_____Does the work involve the manufacturing of pulp, paper, and paperboard?

_____Does the work involve operation and maintenance of textile mills and machinery?

_____Does the work involve the operation and maintenance of machinery and equipment used within a bakery?

_____Does the laundry equipment that is used have point of operation hazards?

_____Is the work conducted at a sawmill?

_____Does the work involve the normal operations included in logging operations?

_____Does the work involve processes in telecommunications centers and at tele-communicationsfield installations?

_____Does the procedure involve working with the operation and maintenance of electric-power generation, transmission, and distribution lines and equipment?

_____Does the process require the operation of grain elevators, grain storage, and processing facilities?

8.1.19 SUBPARTS—ELECTRICAL

Subpart S relates to the installation and use of electrical power on worksites, including both permanent and temporary. The two areas of emphasis within this subpart are installation safety requirements and safety-related work practices.

Installation safety requirements sections of Subpart S require that all electrical parts be inspected for durability, quality, and appropriateness. An installation that follows the National Electric Code (NEC) is considered in compliance with OSHA. Grounding is an important part of this regulation and the use of ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) or assured grounding is required. Emphasis is placed on temporary and portable lighting, as well as the use of extension cords. All listed, labeled, and certified equipment must be installed according to instructions from the manufacturer. This subpart includes special purpose equipment installation such as cranes and monorail hoists, electric welders, and x-ray equipment. It discusses work in high hazard locations as well as special systems such as remote control and power-limited circuits.

Safety-related work practices include workers not working on energized circuits.

This includes precautions for working on hidden underground power sources. This subpart addresses the use of barriers to protect workers from electrical sources. In addition, working around electrically energized equipment and power lines is explained as well as the procedures for lockout=tagout of energized circuits to protect workers.

The primary purpose of this subpart is to protect workers from coming into contact with energized electrical power sources (see Figure 8.5).

FIGURE 8.5 Warning signs convey the dangers posed by electricity.

8.1.20 SUBPARTT—COMMERCIALDIVINGOPERATIONS

Subpart T applies to dives and diving support operations that take place within all waters in the United States, trust territories, DC, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, other U.S. protected islands, etc. It does not apply to instructional diving and search and rescue. This subpart describes requirements, qualifications, and training certifi-cations for divers and dive teams, as well as the need to use specific safe practices for pre, during, and postdives. It also includes emergency care procedures such as recompression and evacuation.

This subpart delineates the criteria and procedures for different types of diving operations such as scuba, surface supplied air, and mixed gas diving. The margin for error and risk are high; thus, all diving procedures within this regulation are very precise and require more than superficial knowledge and experience with diving operations.

The care and maintenance of all equipment involved, whether cylinders, decom-pression chambers, oxygen safety, or other diving equipment, require a unique expertise. This subpart makes all diving and diving operation procedures very exacting and requires recordkeeping of all dives and injuries.

Checklist

_____Does your company employ any divers?

_____Does your company oversee any diving operations?

_____Does your company own any diving equipment?

_____Do you have divers or diving operations on or at your workplace that belong to other contractors?
