Let’s examine what circumstances might bring compliance officers to your location. OSHA keeps an inspection force of about twenty-one hundred officers (a number that has decreased in recent years), and they are responsible for covering more than 8 million workplaces. There are some random inspections each year, with OSHA arriving without any prior complaint or
Spotted this week: Another interesting article, from the fall of last year, about workplace safety concerns that accompany the temporary workforce. A trio of Temple University law students recently completed a report that examined on-the-job incidents related to ‘temps’. They found that the number of work-related injuries incurred by temps indicates that much more needs to be
In some of our recent Tuesday Trainings, we’ve illustrated the OSHA inspection process. Of course, when OSHA discovers a hazardous condition in any workplace that constitutes a breach of regulations, they may impose a fine on the company. Since such fines are relative to the hazard classification, not the size of the business. The current
The purpose of the industrial safety training programs created by Findlay All Hazards is very simple: We’re here to help you keep your people safe. At almost any kind of workplace, you can find a task, either incidental or every-day, that puts an employee at risk. We’ll continue to present high-quality, modern training workshops and
Two weeks ago, Tuesday Training was dedicated to the advantages of using common technology when managing a crisis. Tech is our topic again this week, thanks to Tyler Pendleton, one of Findlay All Hazards’s longtime trainers and project managers. Tyler reminded us recently of how many mobile apps are useful to EHS managers and others
We continue to keep our safety-shielded eyes on news related to respiratory protection, especially in regard to the new OSHA silica standards, which were codified in 2017. But a recent article by Ken Henry in Occupational Health & Safety, which put more light on the silica rules, reminded us of newly acknowledged dangers for welders. Last
One of the most important developments in modern Emergency Management was the introduction of NIMS (the National Incident Management System), established just about fourteen years ago, in March of 2004. As the Department of Homeland Security describes it, NIMS is “a comprehensive, national approach to incident management that is applicable at all jurisdictional levels and
Any EHS manager can tell you that The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is within its rights to visit and inspect their facility, and yours. Inspections can occur at any time, and they almost always take place without prior warning, though parties approached for inspection have the right to demand and review an inspection
The new year is here, and for much of the country, 2018 enters with an icy greeting. Much of the country has been gripped by bitterly cold temperatures and heavy and continuous snowfall (in record levels in some places). The remainder of this week, as people return to work, is expected to bring similar weather-related
We spotted a nice article last month written by regulatory compliance specialist Karen Hamel that looks at industrial safety risks that may arise at a time not usually anticipated: when a plant is in shutdown mode. Many manufacturing facilities have annual or semi-annual ‘dark weeks’. This is when the entire complex stops its usual work,
