OSHA Newquist February 2025

OSHA News for Feb 2025 Hello, February was a whirlwind for OSHA. The probationary employees are gone. The Reduction in Force came out this week. This usually means management cuts. I got word that long time employee Bonnie Knisch in Fairview will retire. Gary Weil of Chicago North will retire this year also. Howie Eberts, the Cleveland AD will retire. OSHA had to write 5 things they did this week to OPM via the manager. It was easy since OSHA compliance officers have many tasks on any given week. NEW OSHA HEAD "I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to President Trump for nominating me to be the next OSHA Administrator at the US Department of Labor. It is an incredible honor, and if confirmed, I am excited about the opportunity to work with Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer and Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling to further OSHA's mission to enhance workplace safety and health," Keeling said. https://www.lpm.org/news/2025-02-12/trump-nominates-kentuckian-to-head-workplace-safety-agency?fbclid=IwY2xjawIwCkZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSPn2L_obLYBLdzZ5lD1_B9WsLVIdn5AAcoosx5Xvjwshw2M2kSYTK84IQ_aem_jp0YSxEcJdYGsieVuhOj8w Keeling has great qualifications to lead OSHA. Clients have taken most of March so teach at non profits is just 4 days. In 2022, 44 workers died in confined spaces, marking a 41% increase from a decade earlier. Not much current data. I only found 9 deaths in 2024. 19 passed the certification tests. This Month's Powerpoint: 70E update. This is the hot topic for many industrial companies in 2025. There are several rules that most are not aware of. I included my Arc Flash Risk Assessment. Take some time to relax. No holidays in March.

OSHA NEWS January 2025

OSHA News for Jan 2025 Hello, January was a month of legal and certification training. I spent a lovely cold week with the AGC teaching ASP and SMS prep classes. I had two depositions, one was premise liability where falling stock hit a customer, and the other was 8 lawyer deposition, where a worker was crippled when falling out of an aerial lift without a harness. Many directives are coming for the new team. Most won’t affect OSHA. OSHA and other agencies to return to the office full time. • Scott Ketcham will serve as deputy assistant secretary for OSHA, the US Department of Labor • Erin Gilmore succeeds Ketcham as director of the Directorate of Enforcement Programs, taking on the role in an acting capacity. Most recently, she had served as the directorate’s deputy director. Effective Jan. 15, 2025, the serious penalty max will be $16,550 per violation (up from $16,131 in 2024). Repeat and Willful get similar adjustments ($165,514 up from $161,323). In 2022, 44 workers died in confined spaces, marking a 41% increase from a decade earlier. Not much current data. I only found 9 deaths in 2024. This Month's Powerpoint: Machine Guarding. I had sent this out 10 years ago. 14 people passed the Certification exams. Historic $5.7M Settlement for Union Bricklayer After Ladder Fall A 45-year-old union journeyman bricklayer suffered a devastating fall while installing anchor bolts on a 14-foot masonry wall at O’Hare Airport on December 31, 2018. Initially assisted by a spotter in the morning, he was later instructed to work alone without fall protection or ladder stability equipment. The ladder slipped, causing him to fall 10 feet and sustain severe injuries, including a torn labrum, two surgeries, a total hip replacement, and future revisions due to his young age. Despite the defendants attempting to deflect blame, the worker’s injuries and projected future wage losses of $800,000 to $1.6 million solidified the case. The settlement included $3.9 million from the general contractor and a historic $1.8 million from the safety subcontractor—the largest safety subcontractor settlement in history. This case, in which I served as the expert witness, is making waves throughout the safety community. Don’t forget to post the OSHA 300A and send in the injury data to OSHA if required.

OSHA News Sep 2024

OSHA News for September 2024 Hello, Where did the time go? September flew by fast with work every day. I am going to slow October down the first week to get caught up. This month's PowerPoint is construction scaffold safety. I have not sent one out since 2014. Mobile Scaffold are flipping when the worker reaches over the guardrails. This change by many manufacturers is a big change restricting the use. Aerial lifts are recommended. OSHA is citing the self closing gate on ladder openings. I will be teaching the 502 class in October. I will give you 30" ppts in order to teach the OSHA 30 hour class. Bring your laptop. You get to choose the topic. I don’t think anyone is doing this in the country. Some Manufacturers of LPG cylinders require gloves and Goggles when changing the forklift cylinder. Some say safety glasses and a face shield. These are placed on the inside rim of the cylinder. Today, the cylinder said gloves and goggles. What do you require? What does your SDS require? I've been looking all summer for the best ansi-rated impact gloves. I've narrowed it down to three outstanding gloves. Overall confort is the Hex Armor Chrome glove. Excellent comfort and fit. Lighter glove is GGs CIA NFT glove. This glove is much thinner but with excellent impact protection. For the cold is a winter glove by Ogre 773 CR + ice. It is warm and has great excellent protection. Over a dozen gloves did not make the cut. They were either uncomfortable and hot or just something I would not feel good wearing because of the tight fit in the knuckles or fingers. I want to say thank you to Dave Hood, dhood@emergentsafety.com, for putting up with me and helping me find the best ANSI impact-rated gloves. One company had 35 impact injuries due to handling material, and the reinforced gloves helped reduce it to 7. Another company had four impact injuries while handling wood. We got it to zero for the last three years using padded gloves and training before the ANSI standard came up with ratings. I really work on these impact injuries, look at the total number of hand injuries, and see what we can do to lower the number of incidents in larger companies. All three gloves are much better than the ones we used two years ago. I always keep a pair of regular Superior gloves for work, and I have a pair of impact gloves with me at all times and on construction sites if I have to handle any material. 15 people passed the BCSP tests this month. Relax this month and enjoy the Fall Weather. John OSHA News. 1. OSHA Announces the Harwood grants.

OSHA News Aug 2024

OSHA News for August 2024 Hello, What a busy month, October is booked also. I have pushed new training until November. I finished deposition Friday with 6 lawyers. The worker was on mobile scaffold. The scaffold fell into a floor hole. The floor was not covered per 1926.501(b)(4). The worker will not work again. $30 to do this right. Millions of dollars in legal fees, disability, and medical. This is multi-employer and the jury will decide which of the 6 entities is responsible. The BCSP Study group on Facebook has now 7000 people. It seems 5 are passing every week. The New Hierarchy of Control is 5 questions and missing those might the difference of passing and failing. This month's PowerPoint is hierarchy of control period I added the ANSI Z10 six element hierarchy control which is a big change for the certification test period but everybody else should know about it because we've had this for 50 plus years and now it's changed. New ANSI standard for H2S ANSI Z390.1 - The standard notes: "...Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). A health-based workplace limit(s) to protect workers from adverse exposure as adopted by the employer or facility owner. The applicable OEL is determined by the employer or facility referencing consensus standards, regulations, and health safety and environmental (HSE) professionals..." 107 Heat index last Tuesday to 50 degree today.

OSHA has sent out hundreds of industry letters for those that are on the high hazard list. they have an option of consultation or an enforcement inspection. It's not hard to figure out that maybe getting consultation in. in these letters they refer to the state consultation that the employer can use. 5. This week, we hit a remarkable milestone at The Walsh Group - Walsh Construction & Archer Western! We achieved over 1 million work hours without a recordable or loss time injury on a single project site. What makes it even more impressive is that we reached this goal exactly at the one-year mark of the project.

Jurors awarded Michael Perry and his family $32.6 million in compensatory damages and another $30.7 million in punitive damages. Along with Johnson & Johnson, the jury also found co-defendant American International Industries negligent and liable in the case. Mr. Perry was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a terminal cancer exclusively caused by exposure to asbestos, in July 2023. He used the company's powder every day because he was allergic to deodorants. Testimony in the trial showed that Johnson & Johnson knew as early as 1970 that its talc-based products contained asbestos, a known carcinogen, but kept the product on the market, recalling it only after FDA testing in 2019 found asbestos in a sample 12) Mite bites and rashes in areas of Cicadas. https://www.nbcchicago.com/cicadas-illinois-chicago-2024/bug-bites-in-chicago-area-might-actually-be-from-mites-thanks-to-2024-cicada-invasion/3522793/?_osource=SocialFlowFB_CHBrand&fbclid=IwY2xjawFCredleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUlHtZH5jbf7zKp6ITcs5o2XYXMi9Dkpf9RB-FpqlBh8jI1NN2Lizn07Ew_aem_JP7R8s8b7prubGNhyG8e_Q OSHA CITATIONS June 18 2024 to Aug 18 2024 MO 1755881.015 BYO OPERATIONS, LLC KOSHKONONG 08/16/2024 $45,167.00 TX 1731848.015 ALNC, Inc SAN ANGELO 08/16/2024 $175,841.00 OH 1736525.015 Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.

OSHA News July 2024

OSHA News for July 2024 Hello, I took a vacation for a week and relaxed. When I came, I picked more legal cases and more audits. 15 people I know passed the certification tests this month. That is a record. The American National Standard Institute/International Society of Equipment and Safety Engineers (ANSI/ISEA) 138 standard rates impact-resistant gloves on a scale of 1–3, with 1 being the lowest level of protection and 3 being the highest: Level 1 Allows an average of 9 kilonewtons (kN) or less of force through the glove, offering limited impact resistance. Level 2 Allows an average of 6.5 kN or less of force through the glove, offering mid-level impact resistance. I like level 2 impact because it protects the knuckles. Level 3 Allows an average of 4 kN or less of force through the glove, offering high impact resistance. This month ppt is an OSHA update given by Bill Donovan the Regional administrator of Region V at the National Safety Council Conference. It is only in PDF. Thanks for getting a copy. The heat issues are the area many are asking about. It is 96 degree heat today. I recommend doing a job brief on these mornings. Have cool water and training in the signs of heat illnesses is important. Stay cool. John OSHA News. 1. Kim Stille, former Area director of Madison, Director of Enforcement Programs, has retired, after 37 years. She was always great to work with and knew sampling data better than anyone. 2. Zigmas Sadauskas, Former OTI director passed away in July. Zig was one the creators of the OSHA 10/30 class in the 1970s. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/rochester-mi/zigmas-sadauskas-11887654 3.
