ating valve that must be held open manually. A supportshall be provided on which the nozzle may be mountedwhen not in use. §1910.244(b)

3. Blast-cleaning enclosures shall be exhaust ventilatedin such a way that a continuous inward flow of air willbe maintained at all openings in the enclosure duringthe abrasive blasting operation. §1910.94(a)(3)(i)

4. Abrasive Grinding5. Abrasive wheel machinery and portable power tools shall be used only on machines

provided with safety guards, with the following exceptions:6. • Wheels used for internal work while within the work being ground;7. • Mounted wheels, used in portable operations, 2 inches (5 centimeters) and smaller

in diameter; and8. • Type 16, 17, 18, 18R, and 19 cones, plugs, and threaded hole pot balls where the

work offers protection. §§1910.215(a)(1) and 1910.243(c)(1)(i)9. Abrasive wheel machinery and portable power tool safety guards shall cover the spin-

dle end, nut, and flange projections, except:10. • safety guards on all operations where the work pro-

vides a suitable measure of protection to the opera-tor may be so constructed that the spindle end, nut,and outer flange are exposed;

11. • where the nature of the work is such as to entirelycover the side of the wheel, the side covers of theguard may be omitted; and

12. • the spindle end, nut, and outer flange may beexposed on machines designed as portable saws.§§1910.215(a)(2) and 1910.243(c)(1)(ii)

13. Work rests shall be adjusted so that they are no more than 1/8 inch (3.2 millimeters)from the abrasive wheel. §1910.215(a)(4)

14. Abrasive wheel safety guards for bench and floor stands and for cylindrical grindersshall not expose the grinding wheel periphery for more than 65 degrees above thehorizontal plane of the wheel spindle. The protecting member shall be adjustable forvariations in wheel size so that the distance between the wheel periphery and adjust-able tongue (tongue guard) or end of the peripheral member at the top shall neverexceed 1/4 inch (6 millimeters). §1910.215(b)(3), (4), and (9)

15. Machines designed for a fixed location shall be securely anchored to prevent "walking,"or designed in such a manner that in normal operation they will not move. §1910.212(b)

Access to Medical and Exposure Records

(All pages match up to the Spanish pages if flipped.)

16. Immediately before mounting an abrasive wheel, it must be closely inspected andsounded by the user (ring test) to make sure they have not been damaged in transit,storage, or otherwise. The spindle speed of the grinding machine must be checkedbefore installing the abrasive wheel to be certain it does not exceed the maximumoperating speed marked on the wheel. Wheels should be tapped gently with a handleof a screwdriver for light wheels, or a wooden mallet for heavier wheels. If they soundcracked (dead), they shall not be used. §1910.215(d)(1)

17. Hoods connected to exhaust systems shall be used. No wheels, discs, straps, or beltsshall be operated in a way and direction as to cause dust and dirt particles to bethrown into the operator's breathing zone. §1910.94(b)(3)(i)

18. Grinding wheels on floor stands, pedestals, benches, and special-purpose grindingmachines and abrasive cutting-off wheels shall have not less than the minimum exhaustvolumes shown in Table G-4 with a recommended minimum duct velocity of 4,500 feetper minute in the branch and 3,500 feet per minute in the main. §1910.94(b)(3)(ii)

19. Access to Medical and Exposure Records20. Upon an employee's first entering into employment, and at least annually thereafter,

each employer shall inform current employees covered by this section of the following:21. • The existence, location, and availability of any records covered by this section;22. • The person responsible for maintaining and providing access to records; and23. • Each employee's rights of access to these records. §1910.1020(g)(1)24. Each employer shall permit employees, their designated representatives, and OSHA

direct access to employer-maintained exposure and medical records. The standardlimits access only to those employees who are, have been (including former employ-ees), or will be exposed to toxic substances or harmful physical agents.§1910.1020(e)(2)(iii), (e)(3)(i), and (b)(1)

25. Each employer must preserve and maintain accurate medical and exposure recordsfor each employee. Exposure records and data analyses based on them are to bekept for 30 years. Medical records are to be kept for at least the duration of employ-ment plus 30 years. Background data for exposure records such as laboratory reportsand work sheets need to be kept for only 1 year. §1910.1020(d)

(The red numbers correspond to the Spanish pages when flipped.)

26. Records of employees who have worked for less than 1 year need not be retainedafter employment, but the employer must provide these records to the employee upontermination of employment. First-aid records of one-time treatment need not beretained for any specified period. §1910.1020(d)(1)(i)

27. Material safety data sheets need not be retained for any specified period as long assome record of the identity of the substance, where it was used, and when it was usedis retained for at least thirty years. §1910.1020(d)(1)(ii)(B)

28. Air Contaminants29. Section 1910.1000 contains more than 600 permissible exposure limits (PEL). To

achieve compliance with this section, administrative or engineering controls must firstbe determined and implemented whenever feasible. When such controls are not fea-sible to achieve full compliance, protective equipment or any other protective mea-sures shall be used to keep the exposure of employees to air contaminants within thelimits prescribed in this section. §1910.1000(e)

30. Air Receivers31. All new air receivers installed shall be designed and constructed to meet the stan-

dards of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and PressureVessel Code, Section VIII, 1968. §1910.169(a)(2)
