Sec.  97.34-20  Shipboard inspections.



    (a) Each work vest shall be subject to examination by a marine 

inspector to determine its serviceability. If found to be satisfactory, 

it may be continued in service, but shall not be stamped by a marine 

inspector with a Coast Guard stamp. If a work vest is found not to be in 

a serviceable condition, then such work vest shall be removed from the 

vessel. If a work vest is beyond repair, it shall be destroyed or 

mutilated in the presence of a marine inspector so as to prevent its 

continued use as a work vest.
