Title: Longshoring and Marine Terminals (Parts 1917 and 1918) -- Reopening of the Record | |
Abstract: OSHA issued a final rule on Longshoring on July 25, 1997 (62 FR 40142). However, OSHA is reopening the record to address the issue of "lifting appliances." In the preamble to the proposed Longshoring rule, the Agency discussed differences between International Labor Organization Conventions 32 and 152, including the requirements in the latter convention to certify lifting appliances under ILO Convention 152, when a container used to lift another container, the top container would fall within the definition of "lifting appliance." Because some commenters to the record questioned the safety of allowing such double lifts and the record does not combine adequate information to allow the Agency to address this issue, OSHA is reopening the rulemaking record to address this issue only. | |
