In complying with both the U.S. Coast Guard and OSHA regulations, the Marine Chemist applies the requirements contained in NFPA 306, Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels. This standard describes the conditions that must exist aboard a marine vessel. A survey by the Marine Chemist ensures that these conditions are satisfied.

The United States Coast Guard and OSHA 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 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), 115.70(b)(1), 125.160(c)(1), 167.30-10(c)(1), 176.30-10(c)(1), 176.710(b)(1), and 189.50-1(c)(1). The appropriate OSHA regulations are contained in 29 CFR 1915.14
