New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 12 - LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT › Chapter 100 - SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Subchapter 8 - STANDARDS FOR INDOOR FIRING RANGES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Section 12:100-8.2 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
"Bounce back" means the occasion when hard zinc bullets bounce off the surface of the bullet trap.
"Bullet trap" means the area of the firing range furthest from the shooting area which is equipped with plates to capture the expended bullets after firing.
"HEPA" means a high efficiency particulate absolute filter which is 99.97 percent efficient for 0.3 microns.
"Indoor firing range" means the room inside a building which contains the shooting booths and is used for the shooting of firearms.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 12 - LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT › Chapter 100 - SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Subchapter 8 - STANDARDS FOR INDOOR FIRING RANGES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Section 12:100-8.3 - Lead standard

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 12 - LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT › Chapter 100 - SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Subchapter 8 - STANDARDS FOR INDOOR FIRING RANGES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Section 12:100-8.4 - Ammunition

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The ammunition used in indoor firing ranges during practice sessions shall be zinc bullets or nylon jacketed or copper jacketed bullets. Service ammunition routinely used by the public employer may be used for qualification sessions.
(b) When selecting the type of ammunition to be used to comply with (a) above, consideration shall be given to a potential problem of "bounce back" of the much harder zinc bullet from the bullet trap in some ranges. Consideration shall be given to the potential eye hazard to shooters which may make the use of the zinc bullets unsafe unless changes are made in the bullet trap.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 12 - LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT › Chapter 100 - SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Subchapter 8 - STANDARDS FOR INDOOR FIRING RANGES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES › Section 12:100-8.5 - Ventilation system

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The minimum air velocity shall be 50 feet per minute at the firing line. An optimum air velocity should be 75 feet per minute at the firing line.
(b) Filtered and conditioned air shall be introduced behind the firing line to guarantee an evenly distributed flow of air through the shooting positions. Supplied air inlets should be placed approximately 15 feet behind the shooter's position.
(c) The entire range facility shall be maintained at a slightly negative pressure with respect to adjacent areas to prevent the escape of contaminants. Exhaust air shall exceed supplied air by at least 10 percent. For maximum efficiency, exhaust ducts should be located behind and at the apex of the bullet trap. An alternative location is to place the exhaust ducts on the side walls slightly in front of the apex of the bullet trap.
(d) A minimum down range conveying velocity of 35 feet per minute shall be maintained. When the 75 feet per minute rate is used, a minimum of 25 percent of the air should be exhausted 15 to 20 feet down range of shooting position and the remaining 75 percent at the bullet trap. When the 50 feet per minute rate is used, 100 percent of the air should be exhausted down range at the bullet trap.
(e) Each range shall have its own ventilation system to prevent the circulation of contaminated air to other areas of the building.
(f) The supply and exhaust systems shall be electrically interlocked, thereby eliminating an error in turning one system on and not the other. The system shall operate on one fan speed only.

(a) The Occupational Noise Exposure Standard, Section 1910.95 of 29 CFR Part 1910, adopted by reference at 12:100-4.2(a)6, shall be applicable at indoor firing ranges.
(b) To minimize the effect of peak sound pressure levels on individuals in the indoor range, all reflecting walls should be covered with high efficiency sound absorbing material. The coverings should be designed to permit easy cleaning and access to the acoustical material for periodic replacement.
(c) The floors directly behind the shooting booths should be covered with acoustical flooring.
(d) Firing range control rooms should be acoustically treated to reduce noise levels.
(e) The bullet trap should not be anchored or attached to any structural support for the building.
