Frequently Asked Questions

Do OSHA maritime standards apply to our inland facility?
Many inland facilities are subject to OSHA maritime standards without realizing it. If you load or unload vessels, maintain marine equipment, or operate near navigable waters, maritime standards may apply to those activities.
What's the difference between maritime and general industry standards?
Maritime standards are more specific to water-related hazards and often have different requirements for fall protection, personal protective equipment, and emergency procedures. The standards you follow depend on your specific activities, not just your location.
Can you help with Coast Guard compliance too?
Yes, Colletti Marine Consulting understands both OSHA workplace safety requirements and Coast Guard regulations. They can help identify when both agencies have jurisdiction and ensure compliance with all applicable standards.
How do you determine which standards apply to our operations?
They conduct detailed operational assessments to identify activities subject to maritime standards. This includes reviewing work procedures, facility layout, and employee duties to determine regulatory jurisdiction.
Do you provide training for maritime safety topics?
Yes, they offer specialized training in maritime safety subjects including marine terminal operations, waterfront fall protection, and emergency response procedures specific to marine environments.
What documentation do you provide after an assessment?
Clients receive comprehensive reports detailing findings, regulatory requirements, compliance gaps, and prioritized recommendations with implementation guidance and timelines.
How often should maritime safety assessments be conducted?
Initial assessments should be conducted when operations change or after incidents. Follow-up assessments are typically recommended every 2-3 years or when regulations change significantly.
Can you assist with OSHA inspections involving maritime issues?
Yes, they can provide representation and technical support during OSHA inspections, especially when maritime standards are involved. Their expertise helps ensure proper interpretation of applicable regulations.
