Acetylene Standard for General Industry
Action 3230
General Information
| Action Summary |
Federal OSHA revised its Acetylene Standard for general industry by updating references to national consensus standards published by standards developing organizations (“SDO standards”). This rulemaking is a continuation of federal OSHA’s ongoing effort to update references to SDO standards used throughout its rules.
The revised standard requires that employers ensure that in-plant transfer, handling, storage and use of acetylene cylinders comply with Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet G-1-2003, Acetylene. Piping systems, as well as facilities and equipment, used to generate acetylene or to fill acetylene cylinders are now required to comply with National Fire Protection Standard NFPA 51A, Standard for Acetylene Charging Plants.
