OSHA News Dec 2022

OSHA News for December 2022Hello, December was very busy, withno cancellations. January to March is booked and only a few days left in April. Thanksfor the support.  This month’s ppt is MostFrequently cited standards for General Industry. I want to thank OSHA for the information.Lockout, Respirators, Hazcom, and Machine guarding are dominating the top 10. The Food industry is onOSHA’s radar in 2023. They will investigate complaints about heat, lockout, andmachine guarding. They will focus on cleaning safety of mixers and equipment. The 3m Paddle Ear Plugswere the most popular in the classes this year. I thought they were verycomfortable to wear. I will be ordering a new box from emergent safety. I found the LL BeanMountain Pile Fleece Glove to be the best for flexibility and warmth.  I ended the yearteaching 2643 people. The top 5 topics were1. Fall Protection2. Machine Guarding3. CHST Prep4. CSP prep 5. OSHA 511 Check the AED pads andlights. Many pads are expired, and the lights are not working. See you nextmonth.  John OSHA News. 1) OSHA finds recordkeeping issues at Amazon. https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/osha/osha20221216?fbclid=IwAR1TsqW8upx1z0xjAcmRx1y2QN2TcUyaudBjuDCCM2mmgF-93zWwZRR3CZc2) OSHA investigating Buffalo Grove, IL, trenchdeath. https://abc7chicago.com/buffalo-grove-il-news-trench-collapse-fire-department/12563593/?fbclid=IwAR2yF-XhorOEV9-U9oG7ULzF5pQCytSg_sFZVzklcGweXUN17YyTsTRIvCw3) OSHA investigating Wood River refinery Cranedeath. https://wgel.com/news/2022/12/ky-man-killed-in-roxana-refinery-accident/?fbclid=IwAR2WmgOgEYncR6A14znop8CNeC3b6L_VnocwYwDY-lkzM-eSt5s1_Z2oAnk4) Dollar General cited $342 in KY. https://ehsdailyadvisor.blr.com/2022/11/dollar-general-facing-new-342k-osha-fine/?fbclid=IwAR1OiskXxkiq6Q8r-wqYTg2TJ-0SV1Zf7uw865zEuQ6n7R17AmKOiFXZOD05) Dollar Tree cited $364k in ILhttps://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/region5/120120226) Family Dollar cited $364k in GA. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/region4/12022022  Other news. 1) Four trench deaths in the last ten days of theyear.
