Sec. 196.34-20  Shipboard inspections.

    (a) Each work vest shall be subject to examination by a marine 
inspector to determine its serviceability. If found to be satisfactory, 
it may be continued in service, but shall not be stamped by a marine 
inspector with a Coast Guard stamp. If a work vest is found not to be in 
a serviceable condition, then such work vest shall be removed from the 
vessel. If a work vest is beyond repair, it shall be destroyed or 
mutilated in the presence of a marine inspector so as to prevent its 
continued use as a work vest.
