Abstract:

Revision of recordkeeping requirements for tests, inspections, and
maintenance checks to minimize the paperwork burdens imposed on
employers. The revised provisions require that the employer prepare
a certification record, at the time the work is done, which includes
the date the test, inspection, or maintenance check was performed;
the signature of the person who performed the work; and the identity
of the equipment or machinery that was inspected or tested. Parts
affected: 1915.113--Shackles and hooks, paragraph (b)(1) is revised;
1915.272-- Portable air receivers and other unfired pressure
vessels, paragraph (d) is revised. The revisions will become
effective October 29, 1986.
