|
Voluntary standards help the government fulfill its
mandate to ensure public safety and health and provide sound technical solutions
to today’s critical issues without creating additional cost and operations
burdens. Organizations that
develop national consensus standards include:
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Note: These are NOT OSHA regulations. However, they do
provide guidance from their originating organizations related to worker
protection, and may be referenced by OSHA inspectors for informational purposes.
- B56.1, Safety Standard for Low and High Lift Trucks. (2005).
Defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of low lift and high lift powered
industrial trucks controlled by a riding or walking operator, and intended for use on compacted, improved surfaces.
- B56.1 Interpretations, 2.1 MB
PDF, 61 pages.
- B56.6, Safety Standard for Rough Terrain Forklift
Trucks. (2005).
Defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of rough terrain forklift trucks. These trucks are
intended for operation on unimproved natural terrain as well as the disturbed terrain of construction sites.
- B56.6 Interpretations, 430 KB
PDF, 13 pages.
- B56.10, Safety Standard for Manually Propelled High Lift Industrial Trucks. (1992).
Defines the safety requirements relating to the elements
of design, operation, and maintenance of manually propelled high lift industrial trucks controlled by a walking operator, and intended for use on level, improved surfaces.
- B56.11.4,
Hook-Type Forks and Fork Carriers for Powered Industrial Forklift Trucks. (1992).
Encompasses standards relative to hook-type fork carriers and the attaching elements of fork arms and load
handling attachments for forklift trucks, in relation to manufacturers' rated capacities of trucks up to and
including 11,000 kg (24,000 lb).
- B56.11.6, Evaluation of Visibility From Powered Industrial Trucks. (1992).
Establishes the conditions, procedures, equipment, and acceptability criteria for evaluating visibility from
powered industrial trucks. It applies to internal combustion engine powered and electric high lift, counterbalanced,
sit-down rider industrial trucks up to and including 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) capacity, inspection, testing, and
acceptance, thereby fostering universal use of export pallets in international commerce with minimal restrictions.
- B56.11.7, Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Fuel
Cylinders (Horizontal or Vertical) Mtg-Liquid W/Drawal-Pwr
Industrial Trucks. (1998). Establishes dimensions for LPG fuel cylinders used on
powered industrial trucks.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Note: These are NOT OSHA regulations. However, they do
provide guidance from their originating organizations related to worker
protection, and may be referenced by OSHA inspectors for informational purposes.
- NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible
Liquids Code. (2003). Identifies how to properly use, contain,
and store flammable and combustible liquids.
- NFPA 58, Liquified Petroleum Gas Code.
(2004). Identifies requirements for all large tank installations, operating and maintenance procedures, and fire safety analyses.
- NFPA 505,
Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions,
Maintenance and Operations. (2002). Identifies industrial truck types for use in hazardous
(classified) locations, truck conversions, and maintenance and operation requirements for industrial trucks powered
by electric motors or internal combustion engines.
- Fire Protection Guide to Hazardous Materials.
(2001). Contains much of the data contained in NFPA documents derived from
hundreds of reference sources.
- NFPA 49, Hazardous Chemicals Data. Identifies 325 chemicals in
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) format.
- NFPA 325, Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids.
Identifies
over 1,300 chemicals in tabular format listing various data.
- NFPA 491, Guide for Hazardous Chemical Reactions. Identifies 3,550 dangerous mixtures documented
from real-life incidents.
- NFPA 497,
Classification of Flammable Liquids, Gases, or Vapors and of Hazardous
(Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas.
(2004). Contains detailed guidelines and diagrams that assist in
Class I hazardous (classified) area classification for the purpose of properly
selecting and installing electrical equipment that will not be an ignition
source in environments where flammable or combustible liquids, gases, or vapors
are processed or handled.
- NFPA 704,
Standard for the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials for Emergency
Response. (2001). Provides a readily recognized and easily
understood system, the "Diamond Hazard", for identifying specific hazards and their severity. Hazards are identified
using spatial, visual, and numerical methods to describe in simple terms the relative hazards of a material. It
addresses the health, flammability, instability, and related hazards that may be presented as short-term, acute
exposures that are most likely to occur as a result of fire, spill, or similar emergency.
- Data extracted from:
- NFPA 77,
Recommended Practice on Static Electricity. (2000). Identifies combustibility parameters and static electric
characteristics.
- NFPA 430,
Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers. (2004). Identifies oxidizer classifications for 90 chemicals.
- NFPA 499,
Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for
Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas. (2004). Identifies parameters to determine the degree and extent of
hazardous locations for dusts, including National Electric Code (NEC) groups.
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Note: These are NOT OSHA regulations. However, they do
provide guidance from their originating organizations related to worker
protection, and may be referenced by OSHA inspectors for informational purposes.
