July OSHA News

OSHA News for July 2023 Hello, I had a busy month of training. The WA DOSH compliance officers were sharp and had many questions. I am over 2000 trained this year. I went through the 2022 OSHA deaths for falls. The low amount is due to some state plans not putting the details in the OSHA database. Fall Deaths 2022 All industries. • 265 Falls • Roofs 45 • Ladders 40 • Skylights 17 • Scaffolds 12 • Tree 10 • Pond Creek Lake 9 • Aerial Lifts - 8 • Stairs 6 • Fall through Floor Roof 6 • Hole 5 • Trucks 4 • Truss Rafter 4 • Forklift Basket 3 This Month's ppt is about security and violence for the ASP. I will have to redo it for the industry class. I went through 17 heat stroke cases that happened at work in 2022. 59% died with a heat index of 100F+ 35% died with a heat index of 90-99F 5% died with a heat index in the 80F. 35% died in Texas. I think 100+F is an area that requires more than an extra break, providing water, a buddy system, and training. What works for these 100F temps? The Food industry seems to have ice, cooling rooms, extra breaks, fans, and buddy systems for the 100F areas for workers. John Dimos was one of the best Industrial Hygienists that I had the pleasure of working with. I while talking about music, safety, and health with him. Stay Cool. One more Month of hot weather. John OSHA News. 1) It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved John Dimos of Valparaiso, Indiana, born in Gary, Indiana, who passed away at the age of 60, on July 6, 2023. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. https://www.echovita.com/us/obituaries/in/valparaiso/john-dimos-16650455 In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Lyric Opera (https://www.lyricopera.org), Wabash College, or an animal charity of the donor's choice. 2) 11th Circuits rules against OSHA in the underride hazard under General Duty. https://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/202211626.pdf 3) On September 1, 2023, Texas employers will be required to post a notice to employees related to reporting instances of workplace violence or suspicious activity, but enforcement is unlikely until the Texas Workforce Commission issues the prescribed notice. 4) WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a final rule that will require certain employers in designated high-hazard industries to electronically submit injury and illness information – that they are already required to keep – to the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The final rule takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024, and now includes the following submission requirements: • Establishments with 100 or more employees in certain high-hazard industries must electronically submit information from their Form 300-Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and Form 301-Injury and Illness Incident Report to OSHA once a year. These submissions are in addition to submission of Form 300A-Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. • To improve data quality, establishments are required to include their legal company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA from their injury and illness records. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/07172023 5) OSHA is proposing to revise its Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) standard for construction, at 29 CFR 1926.95(c), to explicitly state that PPE must fit properly to protect workers from workplace hazards. The rule, which will appear in the 7/20/23 Fed. Reg., will have a 60-day comment period.. Comments and hearing requests must be submitted by September 18. 6) OSHA released a national emphasis program (NEP) focusing on the warehousing and distribution center industry in response to massive employment growth and high injury/illness and DART rates. The NEP also targets certain "high injury retail establishments. 7.

Nick Critelli, the Chair of the ISBA Ethics Committee published this: DO NOT use ChatGPT and other AI platforms as legal research tools. While they can be helpful in thought processing, they are not a substitute for legal research tools. If you ask for a legal citation to support a proposition, the citation will most likely be FAKE. For example, when I ran a test here is what I received: "Case precedent such as "In re Estate of Robeson, 824 N.W.2d 222 (Iowa 2012)" reinforces the standard for removal of an executor/administrator for cause under Iowa Code §633.675, and the Administrator's conduct, in this case, fulfills the criterion set out therein." Looks good and is persuasive --- EXCEPT the case and statutes are FAKE. The case at that citation is actually a Michigan Court of Appeals case Stand Up for Democracy v Sec'y of State, not even remotely related to the issue. 7. Five cases of malaria have been confirmed in Florida and Texas, the first time the potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease has been locally acquired in the United States in 20 years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said July 1.

June 2023 OSHA NEws

OSHA News for June 2023 Hello, June was a busy month with more OSHA 10 classes and Food Audits. I am shocked by how many 10-hour classes I am doing this year. I refer the 30 hours to the NSEC, CSC, and others. What is required to be inspected every day before use per OSHA? I came up with: Respirators Electrical Cords Slings, Cranes, Forklift, Trenches Scaffolds Construction job sites. PPE Fall Protection Ladder 4 Gas Meters for Confined Space Bump Test Scissor Lifts Pallet Jacks Voltage rated Gloves Electrical Test Equipment The 2.8 million lockout citation in Gurnee, IL. for a cleaner death has woke many for the issues for cleaners not having locks. The Lack of a $10 lock may cost the company their business. JLG wrote a letter to its dealer to recommend use of fall restraint lanyards in scissor lifts. The Dealers will put in anchorages if none are available. “ JLG recommends that a full body harness be used with a lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point when operating JLG scissor lifts or vertical mast products that do not have a 30-inch (76 cm) maximum lanyard length limit.” https://www.jlg.com/-/media/jlg/current-materials-no-password/non-product-media/parts-and-service/safety/standard-memos-psr/fall-protection%20pdf.pdf This Month's ppt is about risk management. This is an important area for taking the CSP test. John OSHA News. 1) Tony Gilson passed away in June. I worked with him when he was a CSHO in Fairview Heights. He was a Navy Vet so we always had stories to tell. 2) The NIOSH heat app is much improved for the phone. IT gives the heat index, signs of the heat illnesses, and treatment. 3) The December incident led OSHA to cite Miracapo Pizza Company — which also does business as Little Lady Foods — for 16 willful egregious violations, the agency’s most severe; one willful violation; and 12 serious violations, including five serious instance-by-instance violations of two standards on different machines. OSHA issued $2,812,658 in penalties and has placed the company in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/06152023?fbclid=IwAR1qBxdZXpn0ZJ31F3BliytpVV4yVTsSOYcBYX_xjWjTJ-PbvaLTCUo2miU 4) MARENGO, Iowa —A Marengo company will pay thousands of dollars in fines for an explosion that hurt a dozen employees last year. Records show C6-Zero has agreed to pay Iowa OSHA $95,000 as part of an informal settlement https://www.kcci.com/article/marengo-company-to-pay-thousands-to-iowa-osha/44185417?fbclid=IwAR0ZZeAmQ7Md4hsVAHtFxaTyv7S3pDqNkBr4MHBMr--Qj5RlBIY_9etQviU 5) H2S criminal charges https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/charges-filed-connection-texas-oilfield-deaths?fbclid=IwAR1aXcXUKihg3Qd5NHZY2SoI-vbFY0eaOLMigfRANIk_RtK6GK6wJAkwELA 6) OSHA cited Process safety in the warehouse fireworks storage. https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/osha-issues-10-citations-against-magic-in-the-sky-after-deadly-warehouse-fire?fbclid=IwAR1F99c7UgpTXjdTsd10OIYwKkOkjkWLfDelsnWGWk7J-m49Uxpn_gsKkOU 7) Dollar General shareholders pass rules to improve worker safety https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/31/dollar-general-worker-safety-proposal-passes-at-shareholder-meeting.html?fbclid=IwAR1kP1D8zsG149ENDSx7dOD-akMw_tqX8GcXUA_jBgrnnw5OI4B8ilnVEdQ Other News 1) Five cases of malaria have been confirmed in Florida and Texas, the first time the potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease has been locally acquired in the United States in 20 years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday 2) The Teamsters & UPS agreed to tentative language to equip the company’s fleet with air conditioning systems, new heat shields, & additional fans during national contract negotiations today.

May 2023 OSHA News

OSHA News for May 2023 Hello, This was a nonstop month of training, editing work for clients, and conducting food audits. The food industry wants to be ready for the OSHA Inspections. I have done more food audits in the last six months than in the previous 12 years. 10 Most Common Citations in the food industry include: 1. Periodic Inspection does not have the machine and the person performing the inspection. 2. Written lockout procedures do not explain where the pressure gages are located. 3. Verification is missing in the lockout procedures steps. 4. No die block for the vertical compactor rams. 5. No guard or Gate for the pallet wrapping machines. 6. No training in the use of the 3000 psi pressure washer. 7. No maximum lift weight in the ergo program. 8. No max Pull Push forces in the ergo program. 9. Conveyors do not have emergency stop or pull cords where people are working. 10. No goggles worn for the cleaners using corrosives. I average 23 OSHA issues per inspection, so these are the most common. This Month's ppt is about residential fall protection. Many things have changed in the last ten years. I am shocked by how many 10-hour classes I am doing this year. I refer the 30 hours to the NSEC, CSC, and others. Stay cool this summer. It may be a hot one. John OSHA News. 1) OSHA's Head of Enforcement Patrick Kapust passed away in May. He did a great in keeping the agency focused on the main issues that kill people. 2) Cleaners found hiring child labor as food plants. https://boingboing.net/2023/05/10/60-minutes-investigates-child-hiring-practices-at-slaughterhouse-cleaning-company.html?fbclid=IwAR1hbLC26AAZ_FZpHWf-HdEs_Y5iTfTe9mHP5ZPa3vJvY4nFKXsEzEzuGD4 3) Lawmakers call for public worker protection. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/10/osha-legislation-hazardous-working-conditions-deaths?CMP=share_btn_fb&fbclid=IwAR1kNSnG5-bfFx01FwzD5PVmvKw9y04mAt4fhBLGIQ-3misYmrMHis_zYNs 4) OSHA rules challenged in court. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/safety/legality-of-osha-safety-rules-challenged-in-federal-appeals-case?fbclid=IwAR2zGD9PA3yF3QRmn94wz_ylTt8swKnPRS-Gefl9PidFkilYR2UknU_No_s 5) OSHA cites hospital for workplace violence. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/region5/05252023 6) OSHA cites chemical company for elevated arsenic. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/region4/05162023 Other News 1) Trench rescue in Iowa https://www.thegazette.com/news/cedar-rapids-firefighters-rescue-man-from-collapsed-trench/?fbclid=IwAR1OIkdwR4SiXTquFEECtvXEw1Ioqtpug-49qyW5As3DeSIUMbogEut1Np4 2) Atlanta Crane Collapse https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/construction-accident-crane-collapse-west-peachtree-street-midtown-atlanta?fbclid=IwAR1OIkdwR4SiXTquFEECtvXEw1Ioqtpug-49qyW5As3DeSIUMbogEut1Np4 3) Worker dies in IN Steel Plant https://apnews.com/article/indiana-killed-steel-plant-industrial-accident-b217b69cb1d72ac596ab4f1c4d29deec?fbclid=IwAR2DqUcwXUWDoxx6FXU0W1GoATZtgvyJxOP10uebtlDdsWlTFdXgjSveH0E 4) Family said worker in refinery knew he would die there. https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/05/19/family-of-worker-who-died-in-explosion-says-he-prepared-them-believing-marathon-would-kill-him/?fbclid=IwAR1AespF9at2BexAUfc27LMXApSetaXsgxyMXiYK_bTYy3fPFPFSgTHlk04 5) Worker dies in SC construction fire. https://www.foxnews.com/us/massive-fire-erupts-charlotte-north-carolinas-southpark-area?fbclid=IwAR0VbKoc4taIlWes8Ni1Upx3XRPVrT3Ijwm8uvXFGgKe1OUKXs8xNUIUlzo 6) $860 million for negligent crane death. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/dallas/article274759076.html?fbclid=IwAR1hbLC26AAZ_FZpHWf-HdEs_Y5iTfTe9mHP5ZPa3vJvY4nFKXsEzEzuGD4 7) Amazon Worker dies in Indiana. https://www.wane.com/top-stories/amazon-employee-dies-after-injury-at-fort-wayne-facility-police/?fbclid=IwAR3t7MVI0nKyfktueicRKtMwAEM_EM6MmFckxu-v4Avhd02mnDLe08N0vAM 8) Violent explosion at chemical company in MA. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/explosion-seqens-chemical-facility-newburyport-massachusetts/?fbclid=IwAR0G6J7pJ9ZU7USy9hvyJXCspIwxtNIPWN7ZVjp6rX7Q14Nnb5tXX0GWV3s 9) Construction worker fall 60 feet at Hyundai plant. https://www.wjcl.com/article/hyundai-bryan-county-construction-worker-death-2/43784723?fbclid=IwAR08pqC8H5URynO1uWhmm9njK-CBw7kHrG0El5ZWkLeQ0UUmzhqMDLxBekA 10) Six died in dust storms on I55. https://www.nbcchicago.com/traffic/multiple-people-killed-at-least-30-injured-in-large-crashes-on-i-55-in-illinois-during-dust-storm/3131380/?fbclid=IwAR2BlBd55_50a57BECafEDtS0vf38B_7SsggAtQTHv7gG9c2CoE1ACCUq9I OSHA CITATIONS April 11, 2023 to May 11, 2023 CT 1645235.015 Ahlstrom-Munksjo Nonwovens, LLC WINDSOR LOCKS 04/12/2023 $72,322.00 DE 1627698.015 United Parcel Service, Inc.

APril 2023 OSHA News

OSHA News for April 2023 Hello, This was a month of hours of training. I am at 1434 trained already in 4 months. Confined Space and Lockout are the popular topics. I did some research with OSHA on the 2022 fatals for the first nine months. 145 Falls Jan-Oct 2022 • 29 - Roofs • 27 – Ladders • 12 – Scaffolds • 8 - Skylights • 7 – Stairs • 6 – Forklift Basket • 6 – Truss Rafter • 5 - Pond • 4 – Fall through Floor • 4 - Aerial Lifts Stairs are usually 1-2. I am seeing many stair falls while using a cell phone or carry boxes. If near water, a life preserver or flotation vests needs to be worn. Workers within 15 feet of the roof edge are exposed to a fall off the roof. The Step Ladder companies added a new on the stickers. “Face the ladder with a firm grip.” This prohibits two hand work or turning sideways. There were 3 scaffold fall impalements in 2022. A forklift basket must be approved by the manufacturer or be angineered basket. The Food industry is under a Regional Emphasis in IL and WI. $1.9 million for egregious ockout training. I push my companies to cover lockout every year. https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/region5/04062023 This Month ppt is Entertainment Safety. I last covered it in 2010. With traffic deaths at a 20 year high, everyone should cover safe driving this year. John OSHA News. 1) Amazon. In a third case, in September of last year, an employee struck in the back of the head by two tables falling 15 feet was seen at Amazon’s Amcare clinic, where staff noted multiple signs of concussion that worsened as the visit progressed, including an unsteady gait and difficulty opening their eyes. The employer failed to call EMS. The worker was transported to urgent care by a private taxi company without the appropriate neck and spine stabilization device, OSHA investigators found. https://www.timesunion.com/business/article/osha-cites-amazon-castleton-failure-treat-injured-17925218.php?fbclid=IwAR2DcEdj6aGOkV9UGWdLocJafvK2-_8kvxD-Tzv4-QRxk78_tJY8zkRBe2A 2) Dollar Tree gets cited again.

He actually died after being electrocuted by machinery, the labor department says. The company's lawyer asked the coroner's office to change the cause of death to heart attack https://www.businessinsider.com/alabama-paper-mill-worker-death-electrocution-heart-attack-osha-machinery-2023-4?fbclid=IwAR2smM-FJd21cewsEWhTvfXnaK_f0Uwc__7Ki_rADEsxwKFXMZohP5vBlwQ 4) Dollar General more OSHA exit citations. https://www.wbay.com/2023/04/13/osha-proposes-fines-oconto-falls-dollar-general-store-safety-violations/?fbclid=IwAR2YXc8i9GJI8EvtbVPYBanM3xX4W6eo_D17408h-SLW8oEgDVtf03VpDTw https://www.retail-insight-network.com/news/osha-fines-dollar-general-safety-violations/ 5) An Arizona company that employed two men who died in a trench collapse has a history of safety violations. Records show state regulators cited the company, Construction Specification Solutions, for multiple safety violations over two years. The fines totaled less than $10,000, according to documents from the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health, or ADOSH, which oversees state worker safety. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/buckeye-trench-company-with-deadly-accident-had-history-of-safety-problems?fbclid=IwAR2R6R_fhT_O3VVctOeJMLg9q6S9aGsaS_vBWmhxyc2hiGUD8qgPOSQ3Y6M Other News 1) Worker dies in explosion in Lemont IL. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chemical-plant-fire-seneca-petroleum-company-lemont/3126495/?fbclid=IwAR2DcEdj6aGOkV9UGWdLocJafvK2-_8kvxD-Tzv4-QRxk78_tJY8zkRBe2A 2) Legionnaire’s Disease found against at Quincy Veteran nursing home. https://www.nprillinois.org/government-politics/2023-04-21/legionnaires-disease-case-reported-at-illinois-veterans-home-in-quincy?fbclid=IwAR2FbpQ796Mn4F1lLaIkzjyj0MvkQp6a_kFnd38peUs543-PjOF6JM4nE_Q 3) Traffic Deaths highest since 2005 https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/us-traffic-deaths-highest-level-2005-nhtsa/647893/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter%20Weekly%20Roundup%3A%20Smart%20Cities%20Dive%3A%20Daily%20Dive%2004-22-2023&utm_term=Smart%20Cities%20Dive%20Weekender&fbclid=IwAR2R6R_fhT_O3VVctOeJMLg9q6S9aGsaS_vBWmhxyc2hiGUD8qgPOSQ3Y6M 4) Large warehouse fire https://www.fox29.com/news/crews-battling-huge-3-alarm-warehouse-fire-in-northampton-county?fbclid=IwAR2DcEdj6aGOkV9UGWdLocJafvK2-_8kvxD-Tzv4-QRxk78_tJY8zkRBe2A 5) Hyundai worker dies in stand up forklift https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/worker-killed-forklift-accident-west-georgia-hyundai-plant/4ZWVXL4EWJFNDHNI32IKLL4IXE/?fbclid=IwAR0RByypRuztBoaWaL7YoNVA-vRZBQZTeVVzn3vDwxg-3uZcjmzo6-KAIYs 6) EPA proposes to ban most uses of methylene chloride, a toxic solvent Used as a paint stripper, methylene chloride can poison the nervous system and is the second chemical the agency is targeting under a 2016 law update https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/04/20/epa-rule-toxic-methylene-chloride/?fbclid=IwAR2vv6Gjv4MwC84PYfl59HQW2R0m5t27DnnE1R_b-Bfjuy4e47Dy-6y4cQo 7) A worker at the Michelin tire manufacturing facility in Lexington, South Carolina, has been crushed to death.

March 2023 OSHA News

OSHA News for March 2023 Hello, Another busy month of training on weekends and night. I am over 1000 people trained in three months. I will be speaking at the ASSP Three Rivers Chapter meeting on training techniques. https://threerivers.assp.org/events/safety-training-tips/ It was good to see people at the Chicagoland Construction Safety Conference. It looks like a good year for construction work and many have full schedules for the summer and fall. I am like the tool box talks with a mini quiz at the end. It is much better than signing the tool box talk. I keep seeing company use the online training for forklift despite the standard requiring a demonstration of proficiency. Several of these scam sites say they are OSHA compliant. 1910.178(l)(2)(ii) Training shall consist of a combination of formal instruction (e.g., lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video tape, written material), practical training (demonstrations performed by the trainer and practical exercises performed by the trainee), and evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace. This month's ppt is Landscaping safety. I inckuded some recent fatalities. April is a good time to review your heat stress body and train the new employees. John OSHA News. 1) OSHA has already fined Dollar General over $15 million. Now settlement talks. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/28/dollar-general-settlement-talks-safety-violations.html?fbclid=IwAR16oL7nc7Mw0m3qGpI8tgshVx8LY8mQ8DHZQiN1dAMVxBN0IlWzr2FG0ms 2) Lunda Construction Company faces two "serious" citations related to its fall protection systems, according to OSHA records. One violation is related to the failed personal fall arrest system the company has in place. The other violation is due to failure to inspect its fall protection plan after an incident. OSHA says the company took no action to implement any changes after the fall. https://www.komu.com/news/midmissourinews/osha-cites-wisconsin-based-construction-company-after-worker-falls-from-rocheport-bridge/article_73fd1a68-ccc3-11ed-b114-639770e2749e.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share&fbclid=IwAR3lOXBhkj3yehyI61JhMjo6woG7eG2xkNdzzxM_tvHAk6zshgRaZnx8O-k 3) Sukhvir Kaur is the Area Director of Chicago North replacing the Angie Loftus who retired after 40 years. 4) Tutor Perini had the most OSHA violations among #contractors during the past decade https://www.constructiondive.com/news/tutor-perini-most-osha-violations-among-contractors-past-decade/645341/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Issue%3A%202023-03-21%20Construction%20Dive%20Newsletter%20[issue%3A48945]&utm_term=Construction%20Dive&fbclid=IwAR1qV-SoNzciT_RkXN_ahTDQo-Kto4PqpmBA4aVLT62PBMLhD0wOIu-ja3g 5) Brooklyn construction company owner convicted in wall collapse death of worker Jimmy Liu, 49, was found guilty Thursday of criminally negligent homicide and other charges in the Sept. 12, 2018, incident that killed the worker after his boss ignored concerns from employees and neighbors in Sunset Park about the risk of impending tragedy, said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-brooklyn-fatal-wall-collapse-guilty-criminally-negligent-homicide-20230303-qjlhk7ahfrde7fny6mwtqpfeqq-story.html?fbclid=IwAR2EnFmouRDMh3Uyj-plD0Olbyf01XyUMktC0LQ9A8q4erfrVrJK8YL_ok4 6) ‘They’re more concerned about profit’: Osha, DoJ take on Amazon’s grueling working conditions https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/02/amazon-safety-citations-osha-department-of-justice?fbclid=IwAR3uRq9y7jQO63mfVLaTL9EUG8bhZe0ldjDzdzJAJEs60ygbrQGFhDIl-jY 7) 2 Connecticut men arrested in fatal trench collapse https://safety.blr.com/workplace-safety-news/safety-administration/OSHA-and-state-safety-compliance-enforcement/2-Connecticut-men-arrested-in-fatal-trench-collaps/ 8) Contractor Gets Rare Homicide Conviction in Death of Crushed Brooklyn Worker https://www.thecity.nyc/2023/3/2/23622941/jiaxi-jimmy-liu-homicide-conviction-luis-sanchez-almonte-construction-death Other News 1) The DOB said the worker lost balance and fell 20 feet through a hole.
