Note to paragraph (c): Appendix A contains a sample Abatement Certification Letter.
Note to paragraph (e): Appendix B contains a Sample Abatement Plan form.
Note to paragraph (f): Appendix B contains a Sample Progress Report form.
Note to paragraph (i)(1): Attaching a copy of the citation to the equipment is deemed by OSHA to meet the tagging requirement of paragraph (i)(1) of this section as well as the posting requirement of 29 CFR 1903.16 .
Note to paragraph (i)(2): Non-Mandatory Appendix C contains a sample tag that employers may use to meet this requirement.
