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.
