May OSHA news 2022

OSHA News for May 2022 Hello, April was busy every day. I finished another CHST prep class this week. In the month, many clients wanted training. I have been writing many heat stress programs during the month. OSHA will conduct inspections for Heat Stress and expect employers to have programs and training. The details will come out in May. Construction Safety Council is hiring a training specialist. See Attached. USMWF.org has agreed to host my PowerPoint. So this month and last months are at the site. This month's ppt is on Chop Saw Safety. The manufacturers have required no gloves and a 6-inch hand placement rule. This is part of the NIU machine guarding grant. Student who complete the class get this and other machine guarding information. Let's use May as a month to document heat stress training.
