OSHA News April 2024

OSHA News for April 2024 Hello, Four months in and I have trained 1300 people. OSHA is present and I get calls wanting OSHA assistance. Usually, I refer them to people I know based on location. I am booked solid to the end of June. Giving an employee a safety handbook is not going to work if you expect them to read it. The testimony seems to be that the worker put in the truck or lost it. Weekly toolbox talks should be done and Monthly manager training. Several legal cases with the same surface falls. A walk around the workplace catch many of these hazards. This month ppt is Safety Culture. It is at the beginning stage. It is a topic that is constantly coming up. I want to add more examples in the next year. John OSHA News. 1.

OSHA NEws March 2024

OSHA News for March 2024 Hello, Another hard busy month. It was good to see many of you at the Construction Safety Conference. I ran out of the handouts. It is good to work with safety teams that are good. I get to see world class ideas and programs. Lockout energy procedures still cause many to struggle. I try to go out to the machine and see if the instructions are clear for me to lock out. Pressure gauge locations are often hard to find on big machines. I am seeing several fatalities for forklifts. Seat belts are must. Backing upo requires the operator to look in the direction of travel. 17 people I know passed certification. A record. I have several hundred CSP, ASP, CHST questions and more in the BCSP study group on Facebook. I would like to see 200,000 certified worldwide by 2030. This month ppt is CDL Safety. Transportation deaths are 20 year high. Over 1000 truck drivers died in 2022. I am finding that much of the training lately is teaching drivers how to fill out the required forms. John OSHA News. 1.

OSHA Februart 2024 News

OSHA News for February 2024 Hello, February is Safety Days. Companies like to kick off the year with safety topics. This year, the safety day discusses the Experience Modification Rate for the last three years. The new Falltech Harness is getting good reviews with the suspension Trauma Rope to step on. I know Emergentsafety.com has them. Paul Flentge is getting positive reviews for his AGC leadership development class. Good workers do not make good leaders at first. I am hearing the plaintiff in the broken ladder case will get around $4 million settlement. Rust is a throw-out criteria for ladders. This can be easily covered in a short training session. Court was cancelled because the attorney who subpoenaed me as an unexpected expert witness found out the judge said he must pay me my published fee. It was a jury trial so the lawyer said he would not pay it since the trial was almost over. Then I got a call that I will not testify. You would think they would talked to me before or after serving a subpoena. The Sentencing of three managers to prison for the dust explosion that killed 5 workers was the news of the month. It seemed many heard of the explosion in WI. This month ppt is Safety Management for Industry. I use this in the OSHA class for one hour. John OSHA News. 1.

OSHA January News 2024

OSHA News for January 2024 Hello, It was a busy month of training and looking at the client’s injury records for 2023. One client had the lowest ever 0.92 EMR. This is 100,000 in savings. Another manufacturing company had one loss time out of 300 employees. The large construction company got their EMR to 0.80. Monthly manager training, monthly site audits, and getting sites beyond OSHA minimums is the secret. I got to sit with Tim Ayers in an OSHA 500 class. He had one of the best track record in safety that I have seen. He had got his company down to 0.65 EMR. He had 8 divisions that went incident free in 2017. I used several of his ideas in the Safety Management class OSHA 7500. OSHA’s maximum penalties for serious and other-than-serious violations will increase from $15,625 per violation to $16,131 per violation. The maximum penalty for willful or repeated violations will increase from $156,259 per violation to $161,323 per violation. This month ppt is Most Cited General Industry by Subpart. I found myself updating several ppts this weekend and using the top 5 to focus on the training. John OSHA News. 1.

Supreme Court Regulation Authority Cases: The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear cases challenging the regulatory authority of federal agencies. These cases question the relevance of a 1984 ruling that has played a crucial role in setting federal policy standards across various industries, including health, public safety, oil and gas, labor, and the environment. The outcomes could have significant implications for federal oversight authority. 4.

OSHA December News 2023

OSHA News for December 2023 Hello, Another busy month of training and legal. I did get to my fourth data center this month. I like going to data centers because the general contractors are doing outstanding work. I get to see world class in construction safety. This month ppt is pile driving safety. There is a 2023 ANSI standard that has many new requirements. Many companies would not meet these requirements. I was looking for a letter exempting loose fitting respirator PAPR. Then I was reminded why it is not there. Why would we need an LOI to tell us this. It’s a “loose-fitting” style respirator so no fit test is required. There is not even a protocol for this style RP. – Bryan Haywood I trained 2828 this year. The top subjects were: 1. Infectious Disease 2. Machine Guarding 3. OSHA 10 4. Fall Protection 5. Confined Space Pneumonia is killing 100 a week in IL. Pneumonia vaccines, for those who are eligible for them, probably won’t stop you from getting pneumonia. But it’s likely the vaccine will stop you from dying of pneumonia or having a severe case. – David Schmitt John OSHA News. 1. Only 1100+ pages On December 19, 2023, a final rule adopting the 11th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways—the MUTCD—was published in the Federal Register. The new MUTCD includes a number of updates to improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and all road users. https://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/11th_Edition/mutcd11thedition.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0nmSiCmaSfxM5W7TdvoNK7z_9Nf_4gooH-P6WQRqG9Phjn7UEE5x2bcw4 2.
