(21) In addition to the mail, what other means of transmitting abatement documents are acceptable to the Agency? Hand delivery and facsimile (fax) are two examples of acceptable methods of transmitting documents. If the materials submitted are not legible, they may be deemed unacceptable by the Agency. (22) What about e-mail? At present, e-mail transmission is not acceptable. (23) What does tagging mean? Tagging means that the employer puts a warning tag or a copy of the citation on the operating controls or cited components of the movable equipment. (24) What is the purpose of tagging? The tag warns employees about the cited hazard, briefly describes the violation, and tells them where they can find the complete citation. (25) Are there any advantages to using a copy of the citation instead of a warning tag to meet the tagging requirement? Yes. Affixing a copy of the citation to the operating controls or cited components of the movable equipment provides the employees with more information than is on the tag, and using a copy of the citation for this purpose also fulfills the employer's obligation under 29 CFR 1903.16 (Posting of citations). If a warning tag is used, the employer must still post a copy of the citation required by 29 CFR 1903.16, although the copy does not have to be posted at the point of violation. (26) What kind of a warning tag can be used? Employers can use the warning tag displayed in Appendix C of the regulation or the tag provided by OSHA or they can use any "warning " tag that provides the information required by the regulation. For employers in the construction sector, tags that are designed and used as specified in 29 CFR 1926.20(b)(3) and 1926.200(h) can be substituted for the tags required by this abatement verification regulation when the tag also properly warns employees about the nature of the violation involving the equipment and identifies the location of the citation. (27) What is movable equipment? Any machine or device, hand-held or not-hand-held, that is moved within the work site where it was cited, or is moved to another work site. (27) Does an employer have to tag movable equipment that has been cited for an other-than- serious violation? No. Movable equipment has to be tagged only if it is cited for a serious, repeat, or willful violation. (28) What is hand-held equipment? It is equipment that is hand-held when operated. Examples of hand-held equipment are a hand grinder and a portable electric drill. A drill press is not considered to be hand-held equipment. (29) When does cited hand-held equipment have to be tagged? The tag or citation has to be put on the operating controls or cited components of the equipment immediately after the citation is received. (30) Does cited hand-held equipment have to be tagged immediately, even if it is not moved or used? Yes. See more from topic source: https://www.osha.gov/html/a-z-index.html
