Under 1924.1, any workshop or rehabilitation facility that is assisted by a grant under section 12 or section 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1965 is covered by the safety standards referenced in that section. See 1924.1 for the exact wording. The provision makes the safety standards in 41 CFR Part 50-204 effective for those grant-assisted workshops and facilities "to the extent applicable."
Under 1924.1, grant-assisted workshops and rehabilitation facilities must follow the safety standards provided in 41 CFR Part 50-204, but only "to the extent applicable" to the particular facility. The section states this requirement explicitly in 1924.1. To know the specific obligations, the facility must consult 41 CFR Part 50-204 and apply the portions relevant to its operations.
Under 1924.1, the safety standards in 41 CFR Part 50-204 take effect for a facility when that workshop or rehabilitation facility is assisted by a grant pursuant to section 12 or section 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1965. The section states they "shall have effect to the extent applicable" in that grant-assisted context; see 1924.1.
Under 1924.1, "to the extent applicable" means only those provisions of 41 CFR Part 50-204 that are relevant to the actual operations, equipment, and hazards at the specific grant-assisted workshop or rehabilitation facility apply. The section itself establishes the scope: the 41 CFR requirements "shall have effect to the extent applicable" for facilities assisted by the specified grants; see 1924.1. To determine applicability, compare the tasks and hazards at your site with the requirements in 41 CFR Part 50-204.
Under 1924.1, a facility that does not receive assistance by a grant pursuant to section 12 or 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act is not covered by this particular provision; the section applies specifically to facilities "assisted by a grant pursuant to section 12 or section 13." See 1924.1. That does not affect whether other OSHA standards or other regulations may apply to a non‑grant facility.
Under 1924.1, the provision explicitly applies to workshops and rehabilitation facilities assisted by grants pursuant to section 12 or section 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act; it does not extend its wording to other forms of federal funding. The section states the 41 CFR Part 50-204 standards "shall have effect to the extent applicable" for those grant-assisted facilities; see 1924.1. If a facility receives other federal funds, you must review the specific statutes or grant terms that govern those funds to determine applicable safety requirements.
Under 1924.1, a program administrator should consult the safety standards set out in 41 CFR Part 50-204 to find the specific requirements that apply to their grant-assisted facility. The provision in 1924.1 makes those standards effective "to the extent applicable" for workshops and rehabilitation facilities assisted by grants under sections 12 or 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. Use 41 CFR Part 50-204 to identify the particular rules relevant to your facility's operations.
Under 1924.1, "any workshop or rehabilitation facility" refers to those workshops or rehabilitation facilities that are assisted by a grant pursuant to section 12 or section 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1965; the section applies the safety standards in 41 CFR Part 50-204 to those facilities "to the extent applicable." See 1924.1. The phrase does not expand coverage beyond grant‑assisted facilities as stated in the provision.
Under 1924.1, an inspector should document whether the facility is assisted by a grant under section 12 or section 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act and then identify which provisions of 41 CFR Part 50-204 are applicable to that facility's operations. The section requires that the 41 CFR standards "shall have effect to the extent applicable" for such grant-assisted facilities; see 1924.1. Record the grant status and the specific 41 CFR provisions relied on when determining compliance.
Under 1924.1, the legal source that gives the safety standards effect for grant-assisted workshops is the statement within 1924.1 itself, which incorporates the safety standards provided in 41 CFR Part 50-204 and makes them effective "to the extent applicable" for workshops or rehabilitation facilities assisted by grants under section 12 or 13 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. See the text in 1924.1. For the full set of requirements, consult 41 CFR Part 50-204.
