Mr. Salvatore J. Capitummino
Assistant Managing Director
The Building Industry Employers
of New York State
6 Airline Drive
Albany, New York 12205

Dear Mr. Capitummino:

This is in response to your letter which requests clarification on 1926.152(a)(1) which references 1926.155(a) on the definition of "approved".

Your letter quotes 1926.152(a)(1) correctly but omits two critical statements from 1926.155(a). The fact remains that Underwriters Laboratories and Factory Mutual Research Corp. are the two laboratories that test and list approved containers. In addition, the U. S. Department of Transportation, 7 and D Streets, S. W., Washington, D. C. 20950 approves containers for transportation of flammable materials. Any one of these organizations can supply lists of products tested and listed by them. The Compliance Officer will make note of the presence or absence of the UL or FMRC or DOT label on containers holding flammable substances.

Please feel free to contact us if there are further questions about OSHA.

Sincerely,



Alfred Barden
Regional Administrator
Occupational Safety and Health
