OSHA Compliance

OSHA requires that machines used in Commercial Logging Operations comply with the requirements of OSHA regulation # 1910.266. Among other things, this regulation requires protective material completely surrounding the operator.John Deere machines meet this requirement when equipped with the following products from G.R. Manufacturing, Inc.:

1. Limb Risers (on crawlers)

2. Rear Screen

3. Side Screens

4. Door Screens

5. Front Screen

OSHA regulation # 1910.266 incorporates ISO 8084:2003. G.R. screens meet the ISO 8084:2003 standard for laboratory testing and performance. The Abstract for this standard states:

"ISO 8840:2003 establishes a laboratory test method and performance requirements for operator protective structures (OPS) on self-propelled forestry machines. It is applicable to mobile forestry machines defined in ISO 6814 engaged in felling, processing, forwarding and skidding. The OPS are designed to provide reasonable protection from objects otherwise able to pierce, such as saplings, branches, broken winch lines and poking hazards in forestry work, but not from small, thrown objects such as chain teeth. Those OPS meeting the performance criteria will not provide complete operator protection under all conceivable circumstances, but are expected to minimize the possibility of operator injury in normal operational situations"
