OSHA putting more inspectors on construction sites in Texas

Austin Business Journal - by Casey Wooten Contributing Writer

Friday, August 21, 2009

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has increased the number of inspectors in Texas in an effort to bolster construction site safety compliance. To do so, the organization has brought in inspectors from outside Texas, although it has declined to say how many.

In a May announcement, the Department of Labor, which OSHA is under, said it is focusing on Texas because the state has the highest rate of construction site fatalities in the country. In 2008, there were 67 work site fatalities in Texas. So far this year, there have been 33, according to the organization, including a handful in Austin.

“OSHA is conducting this initiative to raise awareness,” Elizabeth Todd, an OSHA representative based in its regional office in Dallas, said in an email.

The increase in unannounced inspections is part of a broader push by the Labor Department. Since the appointment of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the department has announced it will ramp up enforcement efforts. The organization will replace its Enhanced Enforcement Program, which identifies repeat offenders and targets them for closer inspection, with something called the Severe Violators Inspection Program, which will focus more on large companies than small businesses

Pilot national emphasis program targets workplaces that release hazardous chemicals

OSHA is establishing a Chemical National Emphasis Program that outlines the policies and procedures for compliance officers to follow when inspecting workplaces covered by the agency's Process Safety Management Standard. The one-year pilot program targets facilities that could release highly hazardous chemicals resulting in toxic fires or explosions.

QuickTips on preventing hazards in construction

Construction is at its peak during the summer, so OSHA is reminding employers and workers about the potential hazards they can face on the job. OSHA's Preventing Fatal Falls in Construction and Construction Safety and Health Topics Web pages are resources to help employers and workers identify hazards and possible solutions to those hazards. Visit OSHA's Web site and publications page for more information on how to protect workers and prevent workplace injuries and fatalities.

OSHA launches Texas construction safety initiative

Texas experiences more construction industry fatalities than any other state, so OSHA launched a new construction safety initiative throughout Texas. A team of OSHA compliance safety and health officers from around the country will inspect Texas construction sites to help keep Texas construction workers alive and healthy.

OSHA News Release: [05/26/2009]

U.S. Labor Department’s OSHA cites Wal-Mart Stores Inc. following crushing death of worker at Long Island, N.Y., store

WESTBURY, N.Y. — The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for inadequate crowd management following the Nov. 28, 2008, death of an employee at its Valley Stream, N.Y., store. The worker died of asphyxiation after he was knocked to the ground and trampled by a crowd of about 2,000 shoppers who surged into the store for its annual "Blitz Friday" pre-holiday sales event.

OSHA's inspection found that the store's employees were exposed to being crushed by the crowd due to the store's failure to implement reasonable and effective crowd management principles. This failure includes providing employees with the necessary training and tools to safely manage the large crowd of shoppers.

"This was an unusual situation but not an unforeseen one," said Anthony Ciuffo, OSHA's acting area director for Long Island. "The store should have recognized, based on prior "Blitz Friday" experiences, the need to implement effective crowd management to protect its employees."

As a result, OSHA has issued Wal-Mart one serious citation under its general duty clause for exposing workers to the recognized hazard of being crushed by the crowd. The citation carries a proposed fine of $7,000, the maximum penalty amount for a serious violation allowed under the law. OSHA issues serious citations when death or serious physical harm is likely to result from hazards about which the employer knew or should have known.

"Effective planning and crowd management could have prevented this incident and its grave consequences," said Robert Kulick, OSHA's regional administrator in New York. "Wal-Mart must now take steps to ensure that a situation such as this one never happens again."

Wal-Mart has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or contest the citations before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The inspection was conducted by OSHA's Long Island Area Office in Westbury, N.Y.; telephone 516-334-3344.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to promote the safety and health of America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. OSHA encourages effective safety and health management systems as a means by which employers and employees can work together to identify and eliminate work-related hazards.

The purpose is to evaluate possible regulatory methods and request data and comments on issues related to combustible dust such as hazard recognition, assessment, communication, defining combustible dust and other concerns. Visit OSHA's Safety and Health Topics Web page on combustible dust to learn more about this hazard.

Safety and Health Topics - Pandemic Influenza - from OSHA

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges for which there is little or no immunity in the human population; begins to cause serious illness; and then spreads easily person-to-person worldwide. A worldwide influenza pandemic could have a major effect on the global economy, including travel, trade, tourism, food, consumption and eventually, investment and financial markets. Planning for pandemic influenza by business and industry is essential to minimize a pandemic's impact.

It is difficult to predict when the next influenza pandemic will occur or how severe it will be. Wherever and whenever a pandemic starts, everyone around the world is at risk. Countries might, through measures such as border closures and travel restrictions, delay arrival of the virus, but cannot stop it.

During a pandemic, transmission can be anticipated in the workplace, not only from patient to workers in health care settings, but also among co-workers in general work settings. A pandemic would cause high levels of illness, death, social disruption, and economic loss. Everyday life would be disrupted because so many people in so many places become seriously ill at the same time. Impacts could range from school and business closings to the interruption of basic services such as public transportation and food delivery.

Education and outreach are critical to preparing for a pandemic. Understanding what a pandemic is, what needs to be done at all levels to prepare for pandemic influenza, and what could happen during a pandemic helps us make informed decisions both as individuals and as a nation. Should a pandemic occur the public must be able to depend on its government to provide scientifically sound public health information quickly, openly and dependably. For additional information on pandemic influenza, see One-stop access to U.S.government avian and pandemic flu information.

Frequently Asked Questions on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Guidance for Healthcare Workers and Healthcare Employers

This document provides general information regarding OSHA's Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Guidance for Healthcare Workers and Healthcare Employers (OSHA Publication 3328) and links to additional resources. Page numbers are given for sections of the longer document that address the question asked.

Question 1: Is an influenza pandemic expected to occur? (pp. 5 & 8)

Many scientists believe that since no pandemic has occurred since 1968, it is only a matter of time before another pandemic occurs. It is difficult to predict when the next influenza pandemic will occur or how severe it will be. Wherever and whenever a pandemic starts, everyone around the world is at risk.

Question 2: How will I know when an influenza pandemic has started? (pp. 8 & 36)

The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains a global surveillance system of circulating influenza strains and a Global Influenza Preparedness Plan. Once a new influenza A virus develops the capacity for efficient and sustained human-to-human transmission in the general population (Phase 6), the WHO declares that an influenza pandemic is in progress (this is known as the "Pandemic Period"). In the event of a pandemic, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will coordinate support and intelligence with U.S. public health departments regarding the pandemic situation in the U.S. and in foreign countries.

Question 3: What are some recommended precautions for the protection of healthcare workers during an influenza pandemic? (pp. 7-33)

Given that the exact transmission pattern or patterns will not be known until after the pandemic influenza virus emerges, transmission-based infection control strategies may have to be modified to include additional selections of engineering controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), administrative controls, and/or safe work practices. The following precautions are advisable until more information is known about the transmission of any future pandemic influenza virus.

Environmental/Engineering Controls

The appropriate use of engineering controls and other control efforts will require frequent analysis of pandemic influenza transmission patterns in designated wards, in the facility, and in the community. If possible, and when practical, use of an airborne infection isolation room may be considered when conducting aerosol-generating procedures. Airborne infection isolation rooms receive numerous air changes per hour and are under negative pressure, so that the direction of the air flow is from the outside adjacent space (e.g., the corridor) into the room. The air in an airborne infection isolation room is preferably exhausted to the outside, but may be recirculated provided that the return air is filtered through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

Cohorting: If single rooms are not available, patients infected with the same organisms can be cohorted (share rooms). Management of cohort areas should incorporate the following:

Whenever possible, healthcare workers assigned to cohorted patient care units should be experienced healthcare workers and should not "float" or be assigned to other patient care areas.

The number of persons entering the cohorted area should be limited to the minimum number necessary for patient care and support.

Limit patient transport by having portable x-ray equipment available in cohort areas.

Administrative Controls/Work Practices

Hand Hygiene: To reduce the risk of becoming infected with influenza, healthcare workers working with influenza patients should follow rigorous hand hygiene measures:

When hands are visibly dirty or contaminated with respiratory secretions, wash hands with soap (either non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial) and water.

If hands are not visibly soiled, use an alcohol-based hand rub for routinely decontaminating hands in all clinical situations including contact, whether gloved or ungloved, with an influenza patient.

Hand hygiene before and after patient contact, and after removing gloves and other PPE.

Facility Hygiene: To protect healthcare workers, standard practices for handling and reprocessing used patient care equipment, including medical devices, should be followed.

Healthcare workers should wear gloves when handling and transporting used patient care equipment.

Healthcare workers should wipe heavily soiled equipment with a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved hospital disinfectant before removing it from the patient’s room and follow current recommendations for cleaning and disinfection or sterilization of reusable patient care equipment.

Healthcare workers should wipe external surfaces of portable equipment (e.g., for performing x-rays and other procedures) in the patient’s room with an EPA-approved hospital disinfectant upon removal from the patient's room.

Healthcare workers should use precautions when cleaning the rooms of pandemic influenza patients or of influenza patients who have been discharged or transferred.

Cleaning and Disinfection of Patient-Occupied Rooms:

Wear gloves in accordance with facility policies for environmental cleaning.

Wear a surgical mask in accordance with droplet precautions. Use a respirator when airborne precautions are warranted by the circumstances.

Gowns are usually not necessary for routine cleaning of an influenza patient's room. However, a gown must be worn when cleaning a patient's room if soiling of the employee's clothes or uniform with blood or other potentially infectious materials may occur.

Wear face and eye protection if cleaning within 6 feet of a coughing patient.1

Keep areas within 6 feet of the patient free of unnecessary supplies and equipment to facilitate daily cleaning.

Use any EPA-registered hospital detergent-disinfectant.

Give special attention to frequently touched surfaces (e.g., bedrails, bedside and over-bed tables, TV controls, call buttons, telephones, lavatory surfaces including safety/pull-up bars, doorknobs, commodes, and ventilator surfaces) in addition to floors and other horizontal surfaces.

Cleaning and Disinfection after Patient Discharge or Transfer:

Follow standard facility procedures for post-discharge cleaning of an isolation room.

Clean and disinfect all surfaces that were in contact with the patient or might have become contaminated during patient care.

Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette: Educate persons with respiratory illness and coughing or sneezing to:

Cover their mouths and noses with a tissue and dispose of used tissues in no-touch waste containers.

Use a mask when tolerated, especially during periods of increased respiratory infection activity in the community.

Perform hand hygiene after contact with respiratory secretions and contaminated objects or materials (e.g., handwashing with soap and water, alcohol-based hand rub, or antiseptic handwash).

Stand or sit at least 6 feet from other persons, if possible.

OSHA fines Viasant $209,500 for unsafe hazmat cleanup

Author: RP news wires

The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed $209,500 in fines against Viasant LLC, Arlington Heights, Ill., for alleged willful and serious violations of workplace safety and health standards following an investigation into possible lead exposure to workers at the site of a former battery plant in Kankakee, Ill.

OSHA opened an inspection in February 2006 following receipt of information that Viasant employees were experiencing elevated levels of lead in their blood. The inspection revealed violations of virtually every provision of OSHA's lead standard, according to OSHA area director Gary Anderson of Calumet City, Ill.

"Failing to comply with the lead standard not only puts workers at risk, but their families as well," said Anderson. "The health effects of overexposure to lead can be devastating. When employers shirk their responsibility to keep the workplace clean of these dangerous substances, the results can be tragic for workers and their families."

The investigation resulted in citations for seven willful and seven serious violations of federal workplace safety and health regulations, including the failure to comply with OSHA's respirator, cadmium and lead standards. OSHA is alleging that Viasant failed to provide medical protection benefits and training for workers, failed to monitor for lead and cadmium, did not provide employees with respirator fit tests, failed to provide clean changing rooms, a clean lunch room or showers for employees exposed in excess of permissible exposure limits for lead, among other violations.

OSHA releases H1N1 flu guidance for employers and workers

OSHA issued worker safety and health guidance for H1N1 flu, including fact sheets on "What Employers Can Do to Protect Workers from Pandemic Influenza" (English/Spanish), "Respiratory Infection Control: Respirators Versus Surgical Masks" (English/Spanish), and "Healthcare Workplaces Classified as Very High or High Exposure Risk for Pandemic Influenza" (English/Spanish). QuickCards™ were also released on "Pandemic Flu Respiratory Protection" (English/Spanish) and "How to Protect Yourself in the Workplace during a Pandemic" (English/Spanish).

The president of a Port Arthur, Tex., based firm was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Robert W. Sweet in Manhattan federal court to 30 months in prison for defrauding the United States Postal Service (USPS) in connection with the 2001 anthrax decontamination of the USPS Morgan Processing and Distribution Center, located in Manhattan, and for making a false statement to an OSHA employee during an OSHA investigation relating to the decontamination. In addition, Judge Sweet ordered the company president to pay $1,385,971.31 in restitution to the USPS.

The company president pled guilty on July 31, 2003, to a criminal indictment charging that he falsely represented that his company’s workers who participated in the anthrax decontamination had the training required for the job when in fact they did not. The USPS paid more than $1.6 million for their services.

The Morgan facility houses machines used for the processing and sorting of mail. In October 2001, anthrax bacteria was determined to be present on some of those machines. The USPS entered into a contract for cleaning and decontamination in Morgan. The USPS required all workers performing the anthrax decontamination to have received specialized training, called “HAZWOPER” training. Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training is required by OSHA rules for certain workers involved in operations that expose or potentially expose them to hazardous substances such as biological and disease-causing agents. Among other things, the OSHA rules require a minimum of 40 hours of training, succeeded by eight hours of refresher training annually, in the use of personal protective equipment, work practices to minimize risks, and symptoms and signs which might indicate overexposure to hazards. The rules also require that those who have received and successfully completed HAZWOPER training be given written certificates to indicate they have successfully completed the training.

According to the indictment, some of the Morgan decontamination work was subcontracted to the Texas-based company. From Nov. 1, 2001, through Dec. 8, 2001, workers employed by the company, together with workers employed by other contractors, performed cleaning and decontamination services on the machines where anthrax had been determined to be present.

The company president admitted at the time of his guilty plea that he knew that his workers had not received the required HAZWOPER training. Nonetheless, as alleged in the indictment, in order to ensure that the workers would be permitted to be involved in those operations so that he would be paid for and profit from their work, the company president falsely represented that his workers had received the requisite HAZWOPER training and took steps to conceal the fact that they had not. Those steps included creating and submitting bogus HAZWOPER training certificates for the workers, lying about the training given to the workers, instructing some of the workers to lie about their training, and submitting documents to OSHA that falsely represented that the workers had received HAZWOPER training

during 2001.

OSHA Issues Direct Final Rule on Roll-Over Protective Structures Standards

OSHA is seeking public comments on a direct final rule to reinstate its original roll-over protective structures (ROPS) standards for the construction and agriculture industries that protect workers who operate wheel-type tractors. The agency conducted a thorough evaluation of the original ROPS standards and those implemented under a 1996 technical amendment that revised standards for testing of ROPS. OSHA is proposing to reinstate the original ROPS standards after identifying several substantive differences between national consensus standards and the original standards. See the Dec. 29, 2005, Federal Register notice for details on submitting comments
