December 8, 1975 Mr. L. C. Nicholas, P.E. H. K. Ferguson Company One Erieview Plaza Cleveland, Ohio 44114 Dear Mr. Ferguson: This is in response to your letter dated July 30, 1975 and October 9, 1975, which requested clarification of [29 CFR 1910.36(g)(1)] and 1910.212. Confirming Mr. Jeff Campbell's telephone call on November 10, 1975 the 6'-8" head room requirement for emergency doors is required regardless of the location of door closure hardware. Your second question concerned 1910.212, machine guards or vertical mounted units. As stated in 1910.212 one or more methods or machine guarding shall be provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards. 29 CFR 1910.219 provides specific requirement for guarding of mechanical power transmission apparatus. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, John K. Barto, Chief Division of Occupational Safety Programming [Corrected 05/28/2004] |
