Summary:
In a final rule, federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has corrected nonsubstantive typographical errors in its standards for Vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating work platforms, 29 CFR 1910.67, and Logging operations, 29 CFR 1910.266. The first typographical error corrected was in the title of a national consensus standards organization referenced in 29 CFR 1910.67(c)(5) by replacing "Automotive" with "American". The second typographical error was in a reference in the Logging operations standard to another federal OSHA standard. Specifically, in 29 CFR 1910.266(d)(1)(iv), which was adopted by the Safety and Health Codes Board on December 19, 1994, federal OSHA, in this final rule, inserted "1910.67" and removed "1910.68". In this regulatory action, the board is adopting these corrections.
