I think it depends on the oil, and you don't need the containment if it's food grade oil.

The most general requirements are found in Section 450.27 where confinement is one of several ?recognized safeguards?, none of which are specifically required.
Various locations and liquid-filled types are discussed in Sections 450.23 ? 450.27.
Factory Mutual (FM) has several documents available on line. Google "Transformers Factory Mutual." Since they are not ANSI sanctioned, OSHA doesn?t enforce them, but they still represent a sound design basis.
