Material handling that fits the definition of longshoring (loading, unloading, moving or handling construction materials, equipment and supplies into, in, on or out of a vessel, between shore or a fixed structure and a vessel, or between vessels) must follow the longshoring standards of Part 1918. Vehicle ramps to or between barges must be strong enough, fitted with side boards, well maintained and secured. Unless employees can step safely between wharf, float, barge or river towboat, a ramp of that standard or a safe walkway must be provided. Jacob's ladders must be double-rung or flat-tread, well maintained and secured, and either hang without slack or be pulled up completely. Where the upper end of the access sits on, or level with, the bulwark top, secured steps with at least one substantial handrail about 33 inches high are needed between bulwark and deck. Gangways must be kept clear of obstructions, lit along their full length, and placed so loads do not pass over employees unless the structure makes that impossible. On barge working surfaces, employees may not walk the sides of covered barges or lighters whose coamings exceed 5 feet in height unless a clear 3-foot walkway, a grab rail or a tight handline is provided. Decks must be kept safe, and employees may not move fore and aft across or around deckloads, or walk over them from rail to coaming, without a safe passage; where they must stand at a deckload edge where there is under 24 inches of protection from a bulwark, rail, coaming or similar, fall protection must be provided. First aid follows Subpart D. Near every barge in use there must be a minimum of one 30-inch life ring approved by the U.S. Coast Guard with at least 90 feet of line and at least one ladder reaching from the apron top to the water; the employer supplies these if the pier lacks them. Employees on unguarded barge decks must wear buoyant vests or work vests approved by the Coast Guard. Commercial diving operations fall under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T, sections 1910.401 to 1910.441.
