Fed Regist. 1999 Mar 23;64(55):13897-912.
OSHA's standards for dipping and coating operations, codified at sections 1910.108 and 1910.94(d), are designed to protect employees from fire, explosion, and other hazards associated with these operations. On April 7, 1998 (63 FR 16918), OSHA published proposed revisions to these standards in the Federal Register. The Federal Register announcement requested comments on the proposed rule, as well as on three major issues identified by OSHA. Based on these comments and other considerations, the Agency has developed the final standard to accomplish several goals: To rewrite the former standards in plain language; to consolidate the former requirements in sequential sections (sections 1910.122 through 1910.126 in subpart H of part 1910); and to update the former standards to increase the compliance options available to employers. In addition to achieving these goals, OSHA concludes that the final rule being published today will enhance employee protection by making it more understandable and useful to employers and employees and more flexible and performance-oriented than the former rules. The final rule accomplishes these goals without increasing the regulatory burden of employers or reducing employee protection.
职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）关于浸渍和涂层作业的标准，编纂于第1910.108节和第1910.94(d)节，旨在保护员工免受与这些作业相关的火灾、爆炸及其他危害。1998年4月7日（《联邦法规汇编》第63卷，第16918页），OSHA在《联邦公报》上公布了对这些标准的修订提案。《联邦公报》公告要求就该提案规则以及OSHA确定的三个主要问题发表意见。基于这些意见和其他考虑因素，该机构制定了最终标准以实现几个目标：用通俗易懂的语言重写先前的标准；将先前的要求合并到连续的章节中（第1910部分H子部分中的第1910.122节至第1910.126节）；并更新先前的标准以增加雇主可用的合规选项。除了实现这些目标外，OSHA得出结论，今天发布的最终规则将通过使其对雇主和员工更易于理解和有用，以及比先前规则更灵活且以绩效为导向，从而加强员工保护。最终规则在不增加雇主监管负担或减少员工保护的情况下实现了这些目标。
