9 Foreword In North Carolina, the N.C. Department of Labor enforces the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act through a state plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. NCDOL offers many educational programs to the public and produces publications to help inform people about their rights and responsibilities regarding occupational safety and health. When reading this guide, please remember the mission of the N.C. Department of Labor is greater than just regulatory enforcement. An equally important goal is to help citizens find ways to create safe workplaces. Everyone profits when managers and employees work together for safety. This booklet, like the other educational materials produced by the N.C. Department of Labor, can help.

10 How to Use This Industry Guide This guide was developed to help employers comply with standards that have special requirements such as: l Programs l Policies l Procedures l Plans l Inspections l Tests l Recordkeeping l Certifications l Training l Exposure monitoring l Medical surveillance l Competent person l Qualified person l Instructions l Signs l Markings l Tags l Regulated areas l Designs l Professional registered engineer The first section contains tables that provide a quick overview of the special requirements by standard; including North Carolina state-specific standards. The key for the tables are below. P: Programs, policies and procedures-related requirement: Indicates required programs or policies, which can be written or unwritten, and/or be a mix of procedures, policies or plans required to meet a rule s requirements. I: Inspections and tests requirement: Indicates required inspections, workplace evaluations, hazard assessments, visual examinations tests, and/or surveys, documented and undocumented. RK: Recordkeeping requirement: Indicates rules that have recordkeeping requirements for activities such as injury reporting, equipment inspections, surveys, tests, medical monitoring, exposure monitoring, training, records and other documentation requirements. C: Certification requirement: Indicates rules that have a certification component. Certification will usually mean a written, signed, and dated statement confirming the performance of a requirement also called a certification record in many rules. T: Training and communications requirement: Indicates rules that have requirements for employee training, instruction, communications and/or providing information. EM: Exposure monitoring requirement: Indicates rules that require exposure monitoring or other monitoring components for workplace hazards such as noise, chemicals and air contaminants. MS: Medical surveillance requirement: Indicates rules that require regular medical examinations and consultations for employees who may be overexposed to hazardous substances during their work and/or a medical or a physically qualified component. CP: Competent person requirement: Indicates rules that have requirements for competent persons. An OSHA competent person is defined as one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. QP: Qualified person requirement: Indicates rules that have requirements for qualified persons. Qualified means one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated his or her ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project. This will include registered professional engineers, physicians, audiologists, and other qualified persons. x
