Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Pressure vessels or other containers shall not be
						  crushed, sheared, baled or otherwise processed for salvage until the employer
						  has made certain that such vessels or containers do not contain hazardous
						  substances or pressures in quantities which would render them unsafe for such
						  salvaging operations. No attempt shall be made to open closed pressure vessels
						  or containers of unknown contents until adequate precautionary measures have
						  been taken to eliminate risk of injury to employees. Such precautionary
						  measures may include rupture or perforation of the vessels while they are
						  protected by barricades, enclosures or isolation.
NOTE: Certain cylinders and vessels, after passing
						  their useful life, are destroyed by the owner of the vessel in such a manner
						  that it can be resold for salvage purposes and can be crushed, sheared, melted
						  or otherwise processed safely. (Some closed pressure vessels and containers may
						  be safely disposed of by burying in the earth rather than by attempting to
						  salvage them.)

						and relighting of the equipment. It shall be the responsibility of the employer
						to limit lighting and relighting of the equipment to employees so designated.
						It shall be the responsibility of the employees to follow the instructions
						given them. Copies of the instructions shall be prominently displayed at a
						location near the equipment.
(b) In
						addition to the above fire boxes or combustion chambers shall be purged or
						allowed sufficient time to vent themselves before a source of ignition is
						introduced into them.
(c) Provision
						shall be made, for the furnishing of extension lighting rods, where their use
						is indicated. Valves and other controls shall be so located as to avoid placing
