It should be noted that the general industry regulations at 1910.266(e)(2) go into great detail on chain-saw requirements for the logging industry. These are not OSHA requirements for construction but may be best practice for chain-saw use and safety for your operations. In addition, the voluntary consensus standard from the American National Standards Institute, Safety Requirements for Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws (ANSI B175.1), may offer further guidance.

Specifications, Standards, Quality Control, and Health and Safety Factors. Formerly, there was an Insulation Board Institute representing the insulation board industry, but the decline in the market and number of producers has led to its demise. Currently (ca 1997), the industry is represented by the American Hardboard Association (AHA). Specifications and standards are found in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for CellulosicFiberboard (7). The standard includes descriptions of the various types and classes of ftberboard, as well as requirements for physical and dimensional stabiUty properties. QuaUty control tests are limited to a few basic strength and stabiUty tests, including bending strength, bond strength, and moisture resistance.

One of the most significant laser safety standards is that developed by the Z-136 committee of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) (55). Although it is voluntary, many organi2ations use the ANSI standard. It contains a number of items including a recommendation for maximum permissible levels of exposure to laser radiation for various wavelengths, exposure durations, and different parts of the body separation of lasers into four different classes according to the level of ha2ard they present and recommendation of safety practices for lasers in each of the classes.

Processing equipment has standard procedures to operate and meet safety requirements. Safety information and standards are available from various sources that include the equipment suppliers, Society of Plastics Industry (SPI), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Injuries and fatalities from asphyxiation are often associated with personnel entry into inerted equipment or enclosures. Guidance on safe procedures for confined space access are provided by OSHA (OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.146, Confined Space Entry Standard, 2000), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, Z117.1, Safety Requirements for Confined Spaces, 2003), Hodson (Hodson, Safe Entry into Confined Spaces, Handbook of Chemical Health and Safety, American Chemical Society, 2001), and BP (BP, Hazards of Nitrogen and Catalyst Handling, 2003). OSHA has established 19.5 vol % as the minimum safe oxygen concentration for confined space entry without supplemental oxygen supply (see Table 23-18). Note that OSHA imposes a safe upper limit on 02 concentration of 23.5 vol % to protect against the enhanced flammability hazards associated with 02-enriched atmospheres. 

Safe Automation and ANSI/ISA 84.01-1996 served as significant technical references for the first international standard, IEC 61511, issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In the United States, IEC 61511 was accepted by ISA as ISA 84.00.01-2004, replacing the 1996 standard. In 2004, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recognized IEC 61511 as a consensus standard for the process industry. IEC 61511 covers the complete process safety management life cycle. With its adoption, this standard serves as the primary driving force behind the work processes followed to achieve and maintain safe operation using safety instrumented systems. 

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ANSI has served in its capacity as administrator and coordinator of the United States private sector voluntary standardization system for 80 years. The Institute is a private, nonprofit membership organization supported by a diverse constituency of private and public sector organizations. ANSI Z21.83 has been published and provides a means of testing and certifying the safety of stationary fuel cell power plants having a capacity of less than 1 MW. 

The first occupational safety and health standards were set when, with only minor changes, the 1968 ACGIH list of nearly 400 TLVs, as well as certain standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), were incorporated into the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act. They thereby became limits of exposure for employees of federal government contractors. 

The most common material for decent safety glasses is polycarbonate. Those glasses referred to as high impact must pass the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) test for high velocity impact. The requirements are that the lenses should withstand an impact from a 6.35 mm (V) in.) diameter steel ball traveling at a velocity of 45.7 mps (150 fps). From a sample size of 20, none should shatter or the lenses fail the test.

In this section, the characteristics of eye and face protection products useful for protection from chemicals and pesticides are discussed. Occupational Safety and Health Administration s (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.133 and American National Standard Institute s (ANSI) Z87.1 are used as references for this discussion. The regulation and the standard are useful consolidations of information and guidance on the subject area, although they may not be directly apph-cable to the agricultural setting.

Guidance on the preparation of SDS s under the requirements of the GHS can be found in Annex 4. It has been developed by the GHS Sub-Committee after consideration of the main internationally-recognized standards which provided guidance in the preparation of an SDS, including the ILO Standard under the Recommendation 177 on Safety in the Use of Chemicals at Work, the International Standard 11014 of the International Standard Organization (ISO), the European Union Safety Data Sheet Directive 91/155/EEC and the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard Z 400.1. 

The SCHC strives to keep its members aware of the latest developments concerning hazard communication. Topics at meetings include Internet resources American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standards Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Transportation (DOT), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSFLA) updates and international information. A major topic has been the international harmonization of hazard communication, the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. The development of the system was completed in 2001, adopted/endorsed by the UN in 2002, and is expected to affect hazard communication globally.
