OSHA Regulations

OSHA mandates

*Effective Aug. 10, 2016 – 29 CFR 1904, Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries is required to “better inform workers, employers, the public and OSHA about workplace hazards.”

• 29 CFR 1910 – Occupational Safety and Health Standards
  • §1910 Subpart J – General Environmental Controls
    – §1910.146 – Permit-Required Confined Spaces
  • §1910 Subpart S – Electrical
    – §1910.307 – Hazardous (Classified) Locations
• 29 CFR 1915 – Safety and Health Standards for Shipyard Employment
  • §1915 Subpart B – Confined and Enclosed Space in Shipyards
  • §1915.82 – Lighting
• 29 CFR 1918 – Regulations for Longshoring
  • §1918.92 – Illumination
• 29 CFR 1926 – Safety and Health Regulations for Construction
  • §1926 Subpart K – Electrical
  •  – §1926.407 Hazardous (Classified) Locations
  • §1926 Subpart AA – Confined Spaces in Construction
  •  – §1926.1204 Permit-Required Confined Space Program

OSHA Regulation: [Confined Space]
29 CFR 1910.146, 29 CFR 1915 Subpart B, & 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA

Classifying the Confined Space

In order to classify the confined space properly, the worker must first determine:

1. Can someone fit into this space?
2. Does this space have limited ways of access and egress?
3. Was this space meant for short-term human occupancy?

If the answer is Yes to these questions, then the space is a confined space by definition.

The next determination is:
Do I need a permit to enter this space?

• The answer is Yes, if there is a recognized or suspected hazard in the space, then it is a PRCS –Permit-Required Confined Space.

Illumination for Work Environments

1. Based upon levels of illumination recommended for sample occupational tasks in ANSI/IES RP7 and 29CFR19(10/18/26)
2. Based upon maximum luminance ratios from ANSI/IES RP 7

OSHA Directed Personal Lighting

• Walking, working, and climbing areas shall be illuminated.
• Lighting Intensity must be measured at the personnel’s task/working surface.
• Must not shine into the eyes of personnel.
• Portable lights must be protected from damage.
• Cords must be extra-hard usage.
• Lights used shall be listed by an NRTL.

Employees are, under 29 CFR 1918.92(e), “…Not permitted to enter dark holds, compartments, decks or other spaces without a flashlight or other portable light.”

Hazardous Materials

Demanding Lighting Environments

• Withstand repeated impacts, falls, scrapes, mishandling – Built like a Tool (not a flashlight) !
• Safely operate in ALL weather conditions.
• Are easily handled and quickly positioned into place in a variety environments.

* Portable lights must supply the required illumination for the user in the work environment – 29 CFR 1915.82. Often, multiple users must use the same light source in a confined space.

* The light selected must be safe for use in the presence of flammable substances.

* The lights must provide a long-term dependable and economical solution for the user.

** There is a Series of Lights that meet these requirements.
