Description: The Shipyard Employment Standards at 29 CFR
1915.113(b)(1) and 29 CFR 1915.172(d) specify two paperwork
requirements. The following sections describe who uses the information
collected under each requirement as well as how they use it. The
purpose of these requirements is to reduce employees' risk of death or
serious injury by ensuring that equipment has been tested and is in
safe operating condition.
Test Records for Hooks (paragraph 1915.113(b)(1)). This paragraph
requires that the manufacturer's recommendations be followed in
determining the safe working loads of the various sizes and types of
hooks. If the manufacturer's recommendations are not available, the
hook must be tested to twice the intended safe working load before it
is initially put into use. The employer must maintain and keep readily
available a certification record which includes the date of such test,
the signature of the person who performed the test, and the identifier
for the hook which was tested. The records are used to assure that this
equipment has been properly tested. The records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the Standard.
Examination and Test Records for Unfired Pressure Vessels
(paragraph 1915.172(d)). This paragraph requires that portable, unfired
pressure vessels not built to the requirements of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, Section VIII, Rules for Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels,
1963 be examined quarterly by a competent person and subjected to a
yearly hydrostatic pressure test. A certification record of such
examinations and tests shall be maintained.
The records are used to assure that this equipment has been
properly tested. The records also provide the most efficient means for
the compliance officers to determine that an employer is complying with
the Standard.
Darrin A. King,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
