Dear Mr. Barbe:
Your letters to various Occupational Safety and Health Administration offices concerning inspection recordkeeping forms for welding equipment have been forwarded to this office for reply.
There are no OSHA forms maintained or approved for welding equipment inspection recordkeeping. It has been the policy of OSHA to accept any practical recordkeeping method adopted by the employer and maintained available for inspection.
In the event you should desire to pursue standardization of the recordkeeping procedures, it is recommended that you contact the American Welding Society, the Compressed Gas Association, or other referenced organizations as given in 29 CFR 1910.254. Such organizations usually possess suggested accounting and recordkeeping systems which are made available to the membership.
Thank you for your interest in job safety and health.
Sincerely,
Howard J. Schulte
Acting Depute Assistant Secretary of Labo
