Grain Handling Facilities - Inspection Guidance and Standard.

Standard Number: 1910.272 

January 6, 1992

As requested by your memorandum of November 20, 1991, the subject directive has been reviewed for consistency with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Instruction CPL 2-1.4B, Grain Handling Facilities - Inspection Guidance and Standards Clarifications.

The content of the subject directive appears acceptable for providing inspection guidance and standards clarifications which are consistent with OSHA Instruction CPL 2-1.4B. Differences, other than organizational and regulatory references, are highlighted on the attached directive. Currently, OSHA Instruction CPL 2-1.4B is being reviewed for updating. A revised instruction is anticipated no later than the summer of 1992. One of the updates will be deletion of page 11 effective dates which have passed and no longer need to be referenced. The revised CPL 2-1.4C will include up-to-date inspection guidance and standards clarifications, particularly on problem areas which surfaced since CPL 2-1.4B was issued.
