MEMORANDUM FOR

REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS/OSHA AND OSHA INSTITUTE

Subject: 29 CFR 1910.217(c)(5), Additional Requirements for Safeguarding, Typographical Errors.

Typographical errors which have existed in the above referenced standard since its original issue, have created some misunderstanding as to its meaning.

The phrase "...in the point of operation, and a two-hand control, presence sensing device of Type B gate or movable barrier...", will be corrected by the Office of Standards Development in the next change in the 1910 standards and in the Federal Register by adding a comma after the word device and deleting the word "of" before the word "Type." The phrase will then read "...in the point of operation, and a two-hand control, presence sensing device, Type B gate or movable barrier..."

This information should be distributed to all field personnel and interested parties.



Richard P. Wilson
Acting Director,
Federal Compliance and State Programs
