A summary of the additional requirements includes the following:
- When two or more steam boilers are connected to a common steam, feed-water, or blowoff line, at least one controlling valve in the connection from each boiler to the common line is to be equipped with an effective valve locking device which cannot be removed from the valve and prevents the valve stem from moving. Whenever a person is working in any boiler of a battery, the steam, feed-water, and blowoff valves are to be closed and locked.
- Suspended heavy machinery, equipment, or parts are to be blocked or cribbed during building and in-plant maintenance and repair to prevent falling or shifting before employees may work under or between the equipment's members.
- Elevated bulldozer and scraper blades, power crane booms, end loader buckets, dump truck boxes, and similar equipment is to be lowered or adequately blocked or cribbed before being serviced or repaired.
- Machinery or equipment is to be shut down for manual lubrication during building and in-plant maintenance and repair unless access to lubrication fittings is safeguarded or is located far enough away from moving parts that employees cannot contact them.
