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.

OSHA NEws June 2024

OSHA News for June 2024 Hello, We survived the heat dome. It was 12 days in the 90’s here. It looks like many got hydrated and took breaks to combat the heat. Fans work wonders. I did 11 site audits this month. Many companies want to see how they are doing for safety. The best sites have full time safety professionals with OSHA 510/511 and some certification. This month ppt is fatigue management. I see many making mistakes when tired or getting not enough sleep. The Trench injury case probably settled for seven figures. The defense hired the most expensive and best safety defense expert witness in the USA, who is $5000+ retainer and ~$400/hour. I saw our chances of winning 95%+. If in a jury trial, I figured the plaintiff would get $20-30 million. Big cities, big awards. Keys to the multi-employer case. - My nice Plaintiff attorney caught the president in a big lie under oath. - The Fire department had case-winning photos. (hint OSHA) - No documentation of training with no sign-in sheets. Gary Anderson, former Area Director of Chicago South and North passed away in June. I cannot find any information. He was one the nicest professionals in OSHA. John OSHA News. 1. OSHA ANNOUNCES SUSAN HARWOOD TRAINING GRANT PROGRAM FOR FY2024 On June 26, 2024, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced in the Federal Register the availability of funds and funding opportunities for the Susan Harwood Grant Training Program. There are three separate funding opportunities/announcements that are available: specifically (1) targeted topic training grants, (2) training and education material development grants, and (3) new capacity building grants. The complete Susan Harwood Training Grant Program funding opportunities/announcements and all information needed to apply are available at www.grants.gov. Applications for these different grants must be received electronically by the grants.gov system no later than 11:59 PM Eastern time on July 26, 2027. Questions regarding the funding opportunities’ announcement should be emailed to Donna Robertson at harwoodgrant@DOL.gov or directly to OSHA via telephone at 847–725–7805. 2.

Hazard alert. Freezers and coolers are not a standard in OSHA, but OSHA has used the 5a1 in several of the deaths where the plunger does not work in case the latch breaks or will not work. Osha is citing these under confined space also. I've had two deaths in the last 5 years with them and there's another one in Rosemont with a guest that got trapped in a cooler. Freezers that have a pull cord have to have specific training because workers will not know to pull a cord in lieu of a plunger. I have not seen a food company in the last 5 years have all their freezers and coolers in compliance. I can make a case for OSHA to look hard for this hazard in the food industry. 5. The NFPA 660 for combustible dust standard is coming out in 2025. I have already started training on it.

OSHA Newquist May 2024

OSHA News for May 2024 Hello, I got to go to five trench jobsites in May. Most are doing good or are learning. I expect more OSHA presence this year. OSHA did not get a cost of living so hiring is slowed. From the appropiations act. “For construction inspections, upon arrival at a worksite to conduct any programmed safety inspection, the compliance officer should determine whether the appropriations rider exempts a particular contractor. Any exempt contractor shall not be inspected. However, CSHOs shall proceed to inspect other non-exempt contractors on the worksite.” This affects the small trenching contractors and the roofers the most. OSHA can handle and inspect imminent danger, fatalities and formal complaints. For 10 of less employees, they can just advise on program inspections. See #1 for the link. This month’s power point is combustible dust. The NFPA 660 for combustible dust standard is coming out in 2025. I have already started training on it. This is the most challenging subject for clients so far since it merged several PSM elements into the document. (PSSR, MOC, operating procedures, incident investigation, periodic audits, employee involvement, contractors, hot works) . It would be nice if the NFPA provided some samples of good DHA, just as NFPA 51B provided a new Hot Work Permit. Congrats to the 21 safety professional who graduated from the 145 hour class in May. I hope they go and take the STSC. John OSHA News. 1. OSHA appropriation Act 2024 https://www.osha.gov/memos/2024-01-16/appropriations-act-replacement-appendix-a-cpl-02-00-051-enforcement-exemptions-and 2. Main issues in GHS updates. What are some of the key changes in the update to the HCS and how do they align with international trading partners and other U.S. agencies? Most of the key changes in this update fall under one of the following themes: 1. Maintaining alignment with the GHS (primarily Rev. 7) and U.S. trading partners (including Health Canada’s WHMIS) Paragraph (f)(12) – small packages. Updates include special labelling provisions for 3 ml and 100 ml containers similar to Health Canada’s WHMIS requirements. Paragraph (i) – trade secrets. Updates include mandatory use of prescribed concentration ranges when exact percentages or percentage ranges of materials are claimed as a trade secret. The prescribed concentration ranges align with those used by Health Canada’s WHMIS. Appendix A (health hazards) updates align primarily with revised health hazard definitions and general updates to hazard classes in GHS Rev. 7. Updates include, but are not limited to, the Skin corrosion/irritation and Serious eye damage/eye irritation chapters, with non-animal test methods from Rev. 8 added to skin corrosion/irritation to promote use of alternative methods. Appendix B (physical hazards) updates align primarily with Rev. 7 and include, but are not limited to, Flammable gases (expanding hazard categories), Desensitized explosives, and Aerosols (including additional hazard category). Appendix C (label elements) updates align primarily with Rev. 7 and include new or updated hazards, updated guidance, and precautionary statements. Appendix D (SDS) updates align primarily with Rev. 7 and include revisions to SDS Sections 2, 3, 9, and 11. 2. Addressing issues identified during implementation of the 2012 update to the HCS Paragraph (d)(1) – hazard classification. The final rule clarifies which hazards must be evaluated and the hazard information required on the label versus the SDS. Paragraph (f)(11) – labels. The final rule adds flexibility for label updates on packages that have been released for shipment. Paragraph (f)(12) – labels. The final rule clarifies labeling requirements for small packages. 3. Improving alignment/coordination with other U.S. agencies Paragraph (f)(5) – bulk shipment. The final rule provides increased coordination with DOT. Paragraph (c) released for shipment definition – The final rule aligns with EPA. 3. The six foot rule from the edge does not exist anymore. However, as the Secretary point out in his brief, OSHA considered and rejected this approach in the Preamble to the Final Rule for fall protection. “In conclusion, after careful and complete consideration of the entire record, OSHA has determined that there is no ‘safe’ distance from an unprotected side or edge that would render fall protection unnecessary.” Safety Standards for Fall Protection in the Construction Industry, 59 Fed. Reg. 40672-01 (August 9, 1994). https://www.oshrc.gov/assets/1/18/Gate_Precast_Co.%5E15-1347_Decision%5E04_28_2020_final_edit.pdf?10132 Later, through interpretations, the 15-foot rule was allowed. According to 29 CFR § 1910.28(b)(13)(iii)(A), OSHA requires employers to protect employees from falling when they work 15 feet or more from a roof's edge. This protection can be provided by: A guardrail system, A safety net system, A travel restraint system, A personal fall arrest system, and A designated area, https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2020-06-12#:~:text=In%20accordance%20with%2029%20CFR,system%2C%20or%20a%20designated%20area. 4. The Department of Labor today announced strategic changes to the structure of its Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s regional operations designed to direct its resources effectively and make the agency more resilient. The changes include the creation of a new OSHA regional office in Birmingham, Alabama, overseeing agency operations in the state, and those in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee as well as the Florida Panhandle. The Birmingham Region will address the area’s growing worker population and the hazardous work done by people employed in food processing, construction, heavy manufacturing and chemical processing. OSHA is also planning to merge Regions 9 and 10 into a new San Francisco Region to improve operations and reduce operating costs. As part of the changes, the agency will also rename its regions to associate them by geography, rather than its current practice of assigning numbers to regions. As such, the area OSHA calls Region 4 will be renamed the Atlanta Region with jurisdiction over Florida, excluding the Panhandle; Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The current Region 6 will be renamed the Dallas Region and have jurisdiction over workplace safety issues in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas 5.

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.
