                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
CHAPTER XVII--OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT 
                          OF LABOR--(CONTINUED)
 
PART 1960--BASIC PROGRAM ELEMENTS FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAMS AND RELATED MATTERS--Table of Contents
 
                          Subpart C--Standards
 
Sec. 1960.19  Other Federal agency standards affecting occupational safety and health.

    (a) Where employees of different agencies engage in joint 
operations, and/or primarily report to work or carry out operations in 
the same establishment, the standards adopted under Sec. 1960.17 or 
Sec. 1960.18 of the host agency shall govern.
    (b) There are situations in which the head of an agency is required 
to comply with standards affecting occupational safety and health issued 
by a Federal agency other than OSHA. For example, standards issued by 
the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Energy, or the 
General Services Administration may be applicable to certain Federal 
workplaces. Nothing in this subpart affects the duty of any agency head 
to comply with such standards. In addition, agency heads should comply 
with other standards issued by Federal agencies which deal with 
hazardous working conditions, but for which OSHA has no standards.
    (c) Although it is not anticipated that standards of other Federal 
agencies will conflict with OSHA standards, should such conflict occur, 
the head of the agency shall inform the other Federal agency and the 
Secretary so that joint efforts to resolve the issues may be undertaken. 
However, until conflicts are resolved, agencies shall comply with the 
more protective of the conflicting standards.
