CFR 130 - Confined and Enclosed Spaces for Shipyard Employment; Final Rule

On July 25, 1994, Federal OSHA promulgated a revision to the occupational safety and health standard for Shipyard Employment (Federal Register). The previous Subpart B of Part 1915 set out requirements for work in explosive and other dangerous atmospheres within vessels and vessel sections. The new federal standard, Confined and Enclosed Spaces and Other Dangerous Atmospheres in Shipyard Employment - Subpart B of 1915 and the revised definition of competent person under 1915.7 of Subpart A, became effective October 24, 1994.

This final rule at 29 CFR 1915.7 and Subpart B of 1915 was adopted verbatim in North Carolina by the Commissioner of Labor with an effective date of January 1, 1995.
