Mich. Admin. Code R. 408.14227 - Scale removers, oil swabs, and tongs
Rule 4227.
(1)
If an oil swab, scale brush, or other device is required to remove scale, it
shall be long enough to enable the employee to perform the job without placing
his hands within the point of operation.
(2) Tongs shall be of sufficient length to
clear the body of the worker in case of kickback, and shall not have sharp
handle ends. The worker should be instructed in the proper body position when
using tongs. Tongs should be checked periodically to see that they remain at
the proper hardness level for the job. When rings or equivalent devices for
locking tongs are used, they should be inspected periodically to ensure safe
condition.
