11-03; MOU Painting of Bolsters/Corners

During the course of 2002 Pacific Coast Marine Safety Code Negotiations, it was agreed that effective six (6) months after the ratification of the 2002 agreement,  the Employers  would ensure that,  "all bomb carts shall have the inside surfaces of the container guides painted in a high visibility contrasting color to the base color of the bomb cart".

It was agreed that Pacific Maritime Association would encourage their Members Companies to paint the bolsters/corners of all new chassis whether purchased or leased a contrasting color.
