OSHA standards are rules that describe the methods employers are legally required to follow to protect their workers from hazards. Before OSHA can issue a standard, it must go through a very extensive and lengthy process that includes substantial public engagement, notice and comment. The agency must show that a significant risk to workers exists and that there are feasible measures employers can take to protect their workers.
The role of employees is also well defined under the OSH Act. According to the Act, employees have the right to:
Working conditions that do not pose a risk of serious harm.
Receive information and training (in a language workers can understand) about chemical and other hazards, methods to prevent harm, and OSHA standards that apply to their workplace.
Review records of work-related injuries and illnesses.
Get copies of test results done to find and measure hazards in the workplace.
File a complaint asking OSHA to inspect their workplace if they believe there is a serious hazard or that their employer is not following OSHA rules. When requested, OSHA will keep all identities confidential.
Use their rights under the law without retaliation. If an employee is fired, demoted, transferred, or retaliated against in any way for using their rights under the law, they can file a complaint with OSHA. This complaint must be filed within 30 days of the alleged retaliation.
We implemented this software where I work and have been overall happy with the outcome. After taking a day or two workings to learn the software, you’ll never want to go back to your old ways! There’s also a huge library of training videos provided with the subscription, and an easy to use ticket portal. Moving to CQ HSE was worth the effort and will pay for itself within the year, but what really matters is that we have a fully functional HSE software that can grow and evolve with the business. The mobile features and real-time data capture provides great accessibility to the HSE program for all levels of staff.
We look forward to utilizing several of the other applications Lifeguard Solutions has to offer to further improve the efficiency of our business.
The requirements include a combination of formal and practical instructions to help operators develop skills and knowledge related to crane operations, the ability to recognize and avoid risks, and ongoing monitoring of the operators-in-training to ensure equipment expertise. Employers must also ensure crane operators are qualified by requiring them to demonstrate the necessary skills.
According to the revised regulations, the new penalties are as follows:
Serious, other-than-serious, and posting requirements:
Failure to abate:
Willful or repeated violations:
The revised reporting requirement states that companies with 250 or more employees are no longer required to electronically submit injury and illness data from forms 300 and 301 (Log of Work-Related Injury and Illnesses and Injury and Illness Incident Report, respectively). Instead, they would be required to submit data from Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses).
OSHA has also revised standards for reporting exposure to beryllium for construction, shipyards and general industry to make it simpler and improve compliance.
