Description: 29 CFR parts 1917 and 1918 contain a number of
collections of information requirements which are used by employers to
ensure that employees are informed properly about the safety and health
hazards associated with marine terminal and longshoring operations.
These standards contain requirements related to the testing,
certification and marking of specific types of cargo lifting appliances
and associated cargo handling gear and other cargo handling equipment
such as conveyors and industrial trucks. The collections of information
required from employers by OSHA are necessary to reduce employee
injuries and fatalities associated with cargo lifting gear, transfer of
vehicular cargo, manual cargo handling, and exposure to hazardous
atmospheres. The Agency uses the records developed in response to a
number of the information collection requirements to find out if
employers are complying adequately with the provisions of the
standards.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
