Text from
the OSHA Logging Standard Amendment issued September 8, 1995 in the Federal Register
Paragraph
(f)(3)(i) -- Protective Structures for Logging Machines
The final rule requires that the following logging machines placed into initial service
after February 9, 1995, have FOPS and/or ROPS: tractors, skidders, swing yarders, log
stackers and mechanical felling devices. OSHA intended that the term "log
stackers" be viewed as a general term covering any logging machine that stacks logs
during loading and unloading. However, the more common term used in the industry to refer
to machines that load and unload logs is "log loader." OSHA is therefore
revising the final rule to clarify that paragraph (f)(3)(i) covers log loaders.
