Like all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), hearing protection has limitations. Often, workers use hearing protection that is inadequate for their exposures. 1910.95(j) is intended to ensure this does not happen to workers, but…

Take five seconds (THATS ALL) and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind that you feel is ODD about this photo? This was NOT a drill, but an actual release of CHLORINE at a WWTP. The photo is from the article regarding the CL2 release published by the local ABC News Affiliate. Click Read More below to see my thoughts.

This was sent to me stating this is an actual contractor marketing photo in their “contractor safety packet”! A member had just received it in their contractor evaluation process. How many OSHA compliance issues can you find in this one photo? Do you see a more safe way they could go about doing this project?

This is the first of several articles I intend to write over the next several months regarding incentive programs and how they can PLAY a SIGNIFICANT and POSITIVE role in improving our true safety performance. Recently OSHA issued an internal memo discussing the use of “safety incentive programs” and this has caused quite a stir in the safety and incentive program community. ...

Consider this scenario
A chemical facility has a processed covered by OSHA Process Safety Management standard. The facility has extensive in-house response capabilities with a well staffed and equipped HAZMAT team, which trains all of the responders to the Technician level and supervisors are trained as Incident Commanders.
But is this all the training from 1910.120(q) that applies to this facility? ...

This is one of the most asked questions when I do HAZMAT training in the public sector. Many fire departments know when OSHA regulates them and when they do not, but those professional fire fighters and volunteer firefighters who respond to chemical releases ARE IN FACT covered by the SAME EXACT rule as private HAZMAT teams at industrial facilities.
