August 25, 1975 Mr. Russell G. Sarkies Safety Director Shenango Steel Company Post Office Box 68 Masury, Ohio 44438 Dear Mr. Sarkies: This is in response to your letter dated July 16, 1975, addressed to Area Director Kenneth Bowman, regarding a union grievance concerning hand banding operations. The Chicago Regional Office's letter of July 21, 1975, addressed to you, explained the purpose of forwarding your correspondence to this office. In addition, this confirms a member of my staff's phone calls to you on August 11, and 14, 1975. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in administering the Act takes the position that union grievances to management are not within its jurisdiction. However, OSHA can take a position, based on the information given, whether a work practice is in compliance with a particular standard. On the basis of your letter concerning this hand banding operation, the following comments that relate to 29 CFR 1910.179(n)(3)(x) are offered: 1910.179(n)(3)(x). The employer shall insure that the operator does not leave his position at the controls while the load is suspended.
Sincerely, Barry J. White Associate Assistant Secretary for Regional Programs [Corrected 09/5/2006] |
