Virginia Administrative Code › Title 16 - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT › Agency 25 - SAFETY AND HEALTH CODES BOARD › Chapter 100 - FEDERAL IDENTICAL SHIPYARD EMPLOYMENT STANDARD › Section 16VAC25-100-1915 - Federal Identical Shipyard Employment Standards (29 CFR 1915)

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
The following Shipyard Employment Standards ( 29 CFR 1915 et
				  seq.) are applicable in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The regulations which have been published in the Virginia
				  Register of Regulations are shown with the corresponding VR numbers on the
				  table below.
Since the Shipyard Employment Standards applicable in the
				  Commonwealth are identical to the federal regulations and are available
				  elsewhere, the Virginia Code Commission excluded the text of these regulations
				  from the Virginia Administrative Code.
For a summary of the effect of amendments, the adoption of
				  new regulations, the repeal of a regulation, or the stay of an effective date,
				  and for a table of the VOSH terms equivalent to the federal terms of each
				  regulation, see the Virginia Register volume and issue (VA.R.) following the
				  effective date of the regulation.
