Text from the OSHA Logging Standard Amendment issued September 8, 1995 in the Federal Register Text from the OSHA Logging Standard Amendment issued September 8, 1995 in the Federal Register

Paragraph (f)(3)(i) -- Protective Structures for Logging Machines

The final rule requires that the following logging machines placed into initial service after February 9, 1995, have FOPS and/or ROPS: tractors, skidders, swing yarders, log stackers and mechanical felling devices. OSHA intended that the term "log stackers" be viewed as a general term covering any logging machine that stacks logs during loading and unloading. However, the more common term used in the industry to refer to machines that load and unload logs is "log loader." OSHA is therefore revising the final rule to clarify that paragraph (f)(3)(i) covers log loaders.
