Nov 2022 OSHA News

OSHA News for November 2022 Hello, It was a month of audits. I was in Wheeling, Harvey, Decatur, Aurora, and Mokena. The CHST prep class had nine and many questions. The Construction Safety Council has a 145-hour class. https://buildsafe.org/Training/PageId/EventListView/CategoryId/25 is an excellent prep course for this test. The OSHA 511 class was 15 and had several large corporations in it. The periodic lockout inspection was a surprise for many. They thought every machine had to be locked out by an authorized person every year. Each authorized person has to be audited, but every machine does not need to be locked out as part of the audit. This month PPT is PPE in construction. I have seen climbing helmets with chin straps save lives. This will be common in 2025 for large sites. It is going to be a busy November, then quiet after November 20. I made the annual goal of 2000 people trained every year. Thanks to all that attended. Stay warm and safe in the cold.

Most prominently, it could lead to a push to classify drivers for ride-share or food delivery companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. or DoorDash Inc. as employees rather than gig workers. The companies have opposed similar efforts in the past. https://www.wsj.com/articles/labor-department-proposes-changes-to-independent-contractor-rules-11665498794?fbclid=IwAR3utgLh8HdpxiFfuNJUeTJKLA9xuZ5XeRWfvlLz4LI-kDDh9fNS3tFtmz4 5) 13 years olds working at a Hyundai AL plant?
