U.S COAST GUARD & OSHA COMPLIANT
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.
