Text from
the OSHA Logging Standard Amendment issued September 8, 1995 in the Federal RegisterParagraph
(h)(6)(ii) -- Loading
The final rule requires that only the machine operator and other essential personnel be
allowed in the work area during loading and unloading. The work area covered by this
provision is the immediate loading work area as opposed to the entire logging site (e.g.,
landing). OSHA is correcting the final rule and compliance directive to express more
clearly the Agency's intention.
