Wash. Admin. Code § 296-56-60017 - Line handling
(1) You must not
stow cargo or material or place vehicles where they obstruct the work surface,
in order to provide safe access for handling lines while mooring and unmooring
vessels.
(2) You must install grab
lines or rails on the sides of permanent structures when stringpiece or apron
width is insufficient for safe footing. ("String-piece" means a narrow walkway
between the water edge of a berth and a shed or other structure.)
(3) You must light areas around bitts or
cleats where workers perform their duties as line handlers as required by this
chapter. There must be a nonslip surface around each bitt or cleat.
(4) You must ensure a six inch by six inch
toeboard is installed if the handrail is omitted on the line handling side for
walkways on which the mooring hawsers must be moved .
