TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION

CHAPTER III--FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

PART 399--EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS
 
Sec. 399.201 Purpose and scope.

This subpart prescribes step, handhold, and deck requirements on
commercial motor vehicles. These requirements are intended to enhance
the safety of motor carrier employees.

Sec. 399.203 Applicability.

This subpart applies to all trucks and truck-tractors, having a high
profile cab-over-engine (COE) configuration, for entrance, egress and
back of cab access, manufactured on and after September 1, 1982.

Sec. 399.205 Definitions.

Cab-over-engine (COE) A truck or truck-tractor having all, or the
front portion, of the engine under the cab.

COE--High profile A COE having the door sill step above the height
of the front tires.

Deck plate A horizontal surface designed to provide a person with
stable footing for the performance of work such as the connection and
disconnection of air and electrical lines, gaining access to
permanently-mounted equipment or machinery or for similar needs.

Door sill step Any step normally protected from the elements by the
cab door when closed.

Effective peripheral grip Any shaped surface, free of sharp edges,
in which a full grasp can be made to secure a handhold by a person.

Fingertip grasp A handhold surface which provides a person contact
restricted to finger segments 1 and/or 2 only; or which limits wrap-
around closure of finger segment 1 with the palm of the hand to 90
degrees as shown in Illustration I.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP91.036

Full grasp A handhold surface which provides a person contact with
finger segments 2 and 3 and which provides space for finger segment 1 to
wrap around toward the palm of the hand beyond the 90-degree surface
restriction shown in Illustration I. The handhold need not require
contact between fingers and thumb. For example, the hand position shown
in Illustration II qualifies as full grasp.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP91.037

Ground The flat horizontal surface on which the tires of a motor
vehicle rest.

Handhold That which qualifies as providing full grasp if a person is
able to find a hand position on the handhold which allows more than
fingertip grasp.

Handprint The surface area contacted by the hand when grasping a
handhold. The size of this area is the width of the hand across the
metacarpal and half the circumference of the handhold. The hand breadth
of the typical person is 88.9 millimeters (3.5 inches).

Person Any individual within the 5th percentile female adult through
the 95th percentile male adult of anthropometric measures as described
by the 1962 Health Examination Survey, ``Weight, Height and Selected
Body Dimensions of Adults, United States 1960-1962'' which is
incorporated by reference. It is Public Health Service publication No.
1000-Series 11-No. 8 and is for sale from the U.S. Department of
Commerce, National Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road,
Springfield, Virginia 22161. When ordering use NTIS Accession No. PB
267174. It is also available for inspection at the Office of the Federal
Register Library, 800 North Capitol Street, NW, suite 700, Washington,
DC 20408. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director
of the Federal Register on July 17, 1979. These materials are
incorporated as they exist on the date of the approval and a notice of
any change in these materials will be published in the Federal Register.

Slip resistant material Any material designed to minimize the
accumulation of grease, ice, mud or other debris and afford protection
from accidental slipping.

Sec. 399.207 Truck and truck-tractor access requirements.

(a) General rule. Any person entering or exiting the cab or
accessing the rear portion of a high profile COE truck or truck-tractor
shall be afforded sufficient steps and handholds, and/or deck plates to
allow the user to have at least 3 limbs in contact with the truck or
truck-tractor at any time. This rule applies to intermediate positions
as well as transition between intermediate positions. To allow for
changes in climbing sequence, the step design shall include, as a
minimum, one intermediate step of sufficient size to accommodate two
feet. Exception. If air and electrical connections necessary to couple
or uncouple a truck-tractor from a trailer are accessible from the
ground, no step, handholds or deck plates are required to permit access
to the rear of the cab.

(b) Performance requirements. All high profile COE trucks or truck-
tractors shall be equipped on each side of the vehicle where a seat is
located, with a sufficient number of steps and handholds to conform with
the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section and shall meet the
performance requirements:

(1) Vertical height. All measurements of vertical height shall be
made from ground level with the vehicle at unladen weight.

(2) Distance between steps. The distance between steps, up to and
including the door sill step, shall provide any person a stable resting
position which can be sustained without body motion and by exerting no
more arm force than 35 percent of the person's body weight per grasp
during all stages of entry and exit. This criterion applies to
intermediate positions as well as transition between intermediate
positions above ground level.

(i) When the ground provides the person foot support during entry or
is the final step in the sequence during exit, and the step is 508 millimeters
(20 inches) or more above ground, the stable resting position shall be
achievable by the person using both hands to grasp the handhold(s) and
requiring no more arm force than 35 percent of body weight per grasp.

(ii) The vertical height of the first step shall be no more than 609
millimeters (24 inches) from ground level.

(3) Construction. Each step or deck plate shall be of a slip
resistant design which minimizes the accumulation of foreign material.
Wherever practicable, a self-cleaning material should be used.

(4) Foot accommodation. Step depth or clearance and step width
necessary to accommodate a climbing person are defined by using a
minimum 127 millimeter (5 inch) diameter disc as shown in Illustration
III.

(i) Single foot accommodation. The disc shall fit on a tread rung,
or in a step recess, with no exterior overhang.

(ii) Two-foot accommodation. Two discs shall fit on a tread rung, or
in a step recess, with no exterior overhang.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC01AP91.038

Note: The 127 millimeter (5 inch) disc is only intended to test for
a minimum depth and width requirement. The step need not retain the disc
at rest.

(5) Step strength. Each step must withstand a vertical static load
of at least 204 kilograms (450 pounds) uniformly distributed over any
127 millimeter (5 inch) increment of step width.

(6) Handhold location. A handhold must be located within the reach
of any person entering or exiting the vehicle.

(7) Exterior mounting specifications for handholds. Each handhold,
affixed to the exterior of the vehicle, shall have at least 38
millimeters (1.5 inches) clearance between the handhold and the surface
to which it is mounted for the distance between its mounting points.

(8) Handhold size and shape. Each handhold shall be free of sharp
edges (minimum 1 millimeter [0.04 inch] radius) and have an effective
peripheral grip length that permits full grasp by any person.

(9) Handhold strength. Each handhold shall withstand a horizontal
static load of at least 114 kilograms (250 pounds) uniformly distributed
over the area of a hand print and applied away from the mounting
surface.

(10) Deck plates. Deck plates shall be on the rear of a truck-
tractor as necessary to couple or uncouple air and/or electrical
connections.

(11) Deck plate strength. Each deck plate shall be capable of
withstanding the vertical static load of at least 205 kilograms (450
pounds) uniformly distributed over a 127 millimeter (5 inch) diameter
disc.

Sec. 399.209 Test procedures.

(a) The force exerted on a handhold will be measured using a
handheld spring scale or force transducer which can be attached to the
vehicle and is free to rotate into alignment with a person's hand position.

(b) Hand grasp will be evaluated by observing the handgrip of any
individual who conforms with the definition of ``person'' appearing in
Sec. 399.205 of this subpart.

Sec. 399.211 Maintenance.

All steps, handholds, and/or deck plates required by this subpart
shall be adequately maintained to serve their intended function.

Comparison of Appendix G, and the new North American Uniform Driver-
Vehicle Inspection Procedure (North American Commercial Vehicle Critical
Safety Inspection Items and Out-Of-Service Criteria)

The vehicle portion of the FMCSA's North American Uniform Driver-
Vehicle Inspection Procedure (NAUD-VIP) requirements, CVSA's North
American Commercial Vehicle Critical Safety Inspection Items and Out-Of-
Service Criteria and Appendix G of subchapter B are similar documents
and follow the same inspection procedures. The same items are required
to be inspected by each document. FMCSA's and CVSA's out-of-service
criteria are intended to be used in random roadside inspections to
identify critical vehicle inspection items and provide criteria for
placing a vehicle(s) out-of-service. Avehicle(s) is placed out-of-
service only when by reason of its mechanical condition or loading it is
determined to be so imminently hazardous as to likely cause an accident
or breakdown, or when such condition(s) would likely contribute to loss
of control of the vehicle(s) by the driver. A certain amount of
flexibility is given to the inspecting official whether to place the
vehicle out-of-service at the inspection site or if it would be less
hazardous to allow the vehicle to proceed to a repair facility for
repair. The distance to the repair facility must not exceed 25 miles.
The roadside type of inspection, however, does not necessarily mean that
a vehicle has to be defect-free in order to continue in service.
In contrast, the Appendix G inspection procedure requires that all
items required to be inspected are in proper adjustment, are not
defective and function properly prior to the vehicle being placed in
service.

Differences Between the Out-of-Service Criteria & FMCSA's Annual
Inspection

1. Brake System.
The Appendix G criteria rejects vehicles with any defective brakes,
any air leaks, etc. The out-of-service criteria allows 20% defective
brakes on non-steering axles and a certain latitude on air leaks before
placing a vehicle out-of-service.

2. Coupling Devices.
Appendix G rejects vehicles with any fifth wheel mounting fastener
missing or ineffective. The out-of-service criteria allows up to 20%
missing or ineffective fasteners on frame mountings and pivot bracket
mountings and 25% on slider latching fasteners. The out-of-service
criteria also allows some latitude on cracked welds.

3. Exhaust System.
Appendix G follows Section 393.83 verbatim. The CVSA out-of-service
criteria allows vehicles to exhaust forward of the dimensions given in
Section 393.83 as long as the exhaust does not leak or exhaust under the
chassis.

4. Fuel System.
Same for Appendix G and the out-of-service criteria.

5. Lighting Devices.
Appendix G requires all lighting devices required by Section 393 to
be operative at all times. The out-of-service criteria only requires one
stop light and functioning turn signals on the rear most vehicle of a
combination vehicle to be operative at all times. In addition one
operative head lamp and tail lamp are required during the hours of
darkness.

6. Safe Loading.
Same for both Appendix G and the out-of-service criteria.

7. Steering Mechanism
Steering lash requirements of Appendix G follows the new
requirements of Sec. 393.209.

8. Suspension
Appendix G follows the new requirements of Sec. 393.207 which does
not allow any broken leaves in a leaf spring assembly. The out-of-
service criteria allows up to 25% broken or missing leaves before being
placed out-of-service.

9. Frame
The out-of-service criteria allows a certain latitude in frame
cracks before placing a vehicle out-of-service. Appendix G follows the
new requirements of 393.201 which does not allow any frame cracks.

10. Tires
Appendix G follows the requirements of 393.75 which requires a tire
tread depth of \4/32\ inch on power unit steering axles and \2/32\ inch
on all other axles. The out-of-service criteria only requires \2/32\
inch tire tread depth on power unit steering axles and \1/32\ inch on
all other axles.

11. Wheel and Rims
The out-of-service criteria allows a certain amount latitude for
wheel and rim cracks and missing or defective fasteners. Appendix G
meets the requirements of the new 393.205 which does not allow defective
wheels and rims non-effective nuts and bolts.

12. Windshield Glazing
The out-of-service criteria places in a restricted service condition
any vehicle that has a crack or discoloration in the windshield area
lying within the sweep of the wiper on the drivers side and does not
address the remaining area of the windshield. Appendix G addresses
requirements for the whole windshield as specified in 393.60.

13. Windshield Wipers
Appendix G requires windshield wipers to be operative at all times.
The out-of-service criteria only requires that the windshield wiper on
the driver's side to be inspected during inclement weather.
