(1)
			 Hand lines, slings, tackles of adequate strength, or carriers such as tool bags
			 with shoulder straps must be provided and used to handle tools, materials, and
			 equipment so that employees will have their hands free when using ship's
			 ladders and access ladders. The use of hose or electric cords for this purpose
			 is prohibited.
(2) When air tools
			 of the reciprocating type are not in use, the discs and tools must be
			 removed.
(3) All portable,
			 power-driven circular saws must be equipped with guards above and below the
			 base plate or shoe. The upper guard must cover the saw to the depth of the
			 teeth, except for the minimum arc required to permit the base to be tilted for
			 bevel cuts. The lower guard must cover the saw to the depth of the teeth,
			 except for the minimum arc required to allow proper retraction and contact with
			 the work. When the tool is withdrawn from the work, the lower guard must
			 automatically and instantly return to the covering position.
(4) The moving parts of machinery on dry
			 docks must be guarded.
(5) Before
			 use, pneumatic tools must be secured to the extension hose or whip by some
			 positive means to prevent the tool from becoming accidentally disconnected from
			 the whip.
(6) The moving parts of
			 drive mechanisms, such as gearing and belting on large portable tools, must be
			 adequately guarded.
(7) Headers,
			 manifolds, and widely spaced hose connections on compressed air lines must bear
			 the word "air" in letters at least 1 inch high, which must be painted either on
			 the manifolds or separate hose connections, or on signs permanently attached to
			 the manifolds or connections. Grouped air connections may be marked in one
			 location.
(8) Before use,
			 compressed air hose must be examined. Visibly damaged and unsafe hose must not
			 be used.

			 of the structure of the vessel on which the tool is being used, must be checked
			 to ensure that the circuit between the ground and the grounded power conductor
			 has resistance which is low enough to permit sufficient current to flow to
			 cause the fuse or circuit breaker to interrupt the current.

			 the hand must be equipped with switches of a type which must be manually held
			 in the closed position.
