CFR 136 - Logging Operations

On October 12, 1994, Federal OSHA issued a new rule addressing the logging industry (Federal Register). The federal effective date for the standard and accompanying amendments was February 9, 1995. On February 8, 1995, Federal OSHA issued a notice of stay of enforcement of certain sections of 1910.266. This delay is stated in the Federal Register as necessary to allow time for Federal OSHA "to clarify language in the regulatory text so that it most adequately expresses its intent with respect to some of these provisions, and to provide additional information on other provisions."

This final rule at 29 CFR 19 10 and 29 CFR 1928 was adopted verbatim in North Carolina by the Commissioner of Labor with an effective date of April 1, 1995.
