29 CFR 1910.106

October 14, 1975

Mr. Theodore R. Wellen, Sr.
Safety and Sanitation Engineer
Wine Institute,
717 Market Street
San Francisco, California 94103

Dear Mr. Wellen:

This is in response to your letter dated July 21, 1975, which was forwarded to the National Office for an interpretation.

A complete review of the information provided by your office has been completed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the following decisions were reached:

1. Wine that is in the aging process will be treated as a processing operation and not storage.

2. Wine in storage which does not have a fire point when tested by the Cleveland Fire Point method (copy enclosed), would not be considered a flammable or combustible liquid and therefore would not be covered by 29 CFR 1910.106.

If I or my staff may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,



John K. Barto, Chief
Division of Occupational Safety Programming
