Stakeholder(s):
- Marine Chemist Association, Inc.: An independent professional organization composed of chemists certificated by the NFPA.
- Marine Chemists: ... a Marine Chemist, by virtue of his or her training and continuous professional upgrading through the Certification program
administered by the Marine Chemist Qualification Board, is able to perform similar evaluations on other than marine vessels
where an unsafe environment exists for workers or hot work is contemplated on a system that might contain residues of a flammable
or combustible product. Such latter work would be outside the scope of NFPA 306.
- NFPA Marine Field Service: For information about the Marine Chemist program or related marine fire protection issues, contact the NFPA Marine Field Service
[at marine@nfpa.org]
- United States Coast Guard: The United States Coast Guard and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that a Certificate issued by a
Marine Chemist be obtained before hot work or fire producing operations can be carried out in certain spaces aboard a marine
vessel. The appropriate U.S. Coast Guard Regulations are contained in 46 CFR 35.01-1(c)(1), 71.60-1(c)(1), 91.50-1(c)(1),
167.30-10(c)(1), and 189.50-1(c)(1). The appropriate OSHA regulations are contained in 29 CFR 1915.14.
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- National Fire Protection Association: In complying with both the U.S. Coast Guard and OSHA regulations, the Marine Chemist applies the requirements contained in
National Fire Protection Association Standard 306. NFPA 306, Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels, describes conditions that
must exist aboard a marine vessel. A survey by the Marine Chemist ensures that these conditions are satisfied.
