Standard Number: 1910.142
July 23, 1981
| MEMORANDUM FOR: | GILBERT J. SAULTER Regional Administrator |
| ATTN: | HERBERT K. KURTZ |
| THRU: | JOHN B. MILES Field Coordinator |
| FROM: | BRUCE HILLENBRAND Deputy Director Federal Compliance and State Programs |
| SUBJECT: | Request for Clarification of the Applicability of 29 CFR 1910.142 |
| RE: | Your memorandum dated July 6, 1981 |
OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.142 applies to job related housing that is provided by the employer on a temporary basis for workers not at a permanent location. This kind of housing is most commonly used in agriculture where migrant laborers from other geographical areas move temporarily into employer provided housing at crop harvesting time. However, there is no language in 1910.142 to restrict the application of this standard to migrant housing. Similar housing for the use of other kinds of workers would be subject to the same standard and should meet the same specifications. For example, housing supplied for workers in remote or unsettled areas where labor is needed on a temporary basis, as in oil drilling, would also be subject to 1910.142.
