| However, the employer could be cited
for a violation of the general duty clause if the most reasonable

is "recognized". |

suitable for the work to be preformed, and employees shall use
such protectors. Suitable eye protectors shall be provided where
machines or operations present the hazard of flying objects,
glare, liquids, injurious radiation, or a combination of these
hazards. |

program and to enable the proper selection of hearing protectors. |

information list and material safety data sheet. |

| These specifications apply to the

| FDA COMPLIANCE POLICY GUIDE
7124.16 |
| Oxygen equipment intended for emergency
use can be marketed for OTC distribution, but must be capable
of providing a minimum flow rate of 6 liters of oxygen per minute
for at least 15 minutes. The labeling for emergency oxygen for
OTC use may not contain references to heart attacks, strokes,
shock or any other medical condition amenable to diagnosis or
treatment only by a licensed practitioner. Oxygen units providing
a flow rate of less than 6 liters per minute or for a period
less than 15 minutes and labeled for emergency use are regarded
as adulterated and misbranded. If the units are not intended
for emergency use and provide less than 6 liters/minute or are
labeled for human use for other than emergency use, such units
are regarded as prescription devices. |
