Text from
the OSHA Logging Standard Amendment issued September 8, 1995 in the Federal RegisterParagraph
(c) Defininitions
* * *
Machine. In the final rule OSHA included a definition of the
machines covered by the logging rule. The definition included material handling equipment
that is operated off-road. OSHA was asked to clarify whether the definition of logging
machine includes aircraft, such as helicopters. OSHA never intended that logging machines
include airplanes or helicopters and is clarifying its intention by expressly excluding
airplanes and helicopters from the definition of machines covered by the final rule.
