How to toe the line and help foot the bill for safety costs

“Toe the line or foot the bill” is OSHA’s motto and few would disagree with it. Economising on safety costs is something few would argue with either. So, here's a safety shoe alternative you should know about. Rubber overshoe safety toe caps - ' shoes with toes' - are getting more attention, for more reasons than simply cost-effectiveness. And not just because of the ever increasing numbers of temporary workers employed in this country. It's the ever increasing cost of providing fully-loaded temporary safety shoes that's bringing the whole matter of toe protection to the attention of senior management. The recent challenge by the United States Postal Service and OSHA's ruling attests to that. Anywhere a safety shoe alternative exists, that sits all right with OSHA in the USA or CCOHS in Canada, it's a win-win situation.

There’s not a thing wrong with generally accepted safety toe cap footwear, but all too often it seems the expensive choice is selected out of fear or a lack of understanding. Although it's true to say safety shoe policies in manufacturing have embraced rubber pull on safety toe cap products for visitors they have been 'missing in action' elsewhere. I know of one particular food processing plant that refuses to use a '”better than those yellow clacker things” solution, but tolerates gunk that might be introduced to the production floor on the soles of visitors' shoes. Their thinking is they had better address the greasy floors than more effectively provide toe protection. Some might argue the greasy floor is a hazard that should not be tolerated.

All employers are subject to statutory requirements and minimum standards that reflect our desire to protect workers. It is up to the employer to implement safety rules and regulations but bodies such as OSHA allows significant latitude in doing so, provided choices are reasonable and done responsibly. Careful attention is required as errors in judgement, as with willful neglect, will be punished under the law. Unfortunately, the tendency in a fear and compliance atmosphere is to avoid failure rather than attempt success. Compliance is commendable but can instill fear. That can stifle creativity which can result in unnecessarily high costs.

Take the whole matter of safety footwear. Company safety policies that lack creativity can result in over-spending far in excess of the typical fine for a safety transgression. It's a bit like this; we know there's always the possibility of rain but do we need to wear a raincoat every day? Or, would a small umbrella, costing a lot less than a raincoat, do the job just as well? Throw in the ability to offer others shelter if the need arises and you get the idea.

An employer is required to provide personal protective equipment where the risk assessment indicates as much. Risk assessment is the cornerstone of industrial safety and statutory bodies require employers to undertake one to determine what hazards can reasonably be expected in any particular working environment. There is always the chance of accident but risk assessments are not expected to be clairvoyant. They are expected to review routine operations and recommend the proper Personal Protective Equipment. (The employer is also expected to pay for it.) Risk assessments are expected to be 'reasonable' and the onus is on OSHA to prove otherwise.

There are two important things to remember. Firstly, it is the employer who decides how best to comply with the law. Secondly, organizations like OSHA do not mandate any particular piece of equipment to be used.

In the case of foot safety, OSHA’s occupational foot protection standard is 29 CFR 1910.136. This requires the use of protective footwear when employees are working in areas where there is a danger of foot injuries due to falling or rolling objects. Once that hazard has been determined, OSHA does not recommend, or approve of, any particular safety footwear. According to OSHA in a recent letter to the United States Postal Service, an employer may comply with the criteria set forth in ANSI Z41-1991, replaced by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2412-05 and ASTM F2413-05, or the employer may opt to demonstrate that other criteria are equally effective. If the employer pursues the second option, then compliance with the consensus standards is not mandatory. This means, the burden lies on the employer to demonstrate that the footwear provided is equally as protective as the footwear that meet the ASTM F2412-05 and the ASTM F2413-05 standards.

In another fairly recent ruling, OSHA declined to comment on the suitability of the now ubiquitous ‘Croc’ clogs. It said, in situations where no hazard exists, the matter of appropriate footwear at work is between the employer and employee. This principle was reiterated when OSHA was asked to comment on rubber over-shoes. OSHA was firm in stating that it does not find rubber overshoes acceptable where they provide no toe protection. However, provided they can demonstrate that they meet minimum standards they are acceptable.

What then would be “acceptable foot protection” where there is a chance of toe injury? The first choice of many employers is ASTM or CSA tagged safety shoes or boots - the so called "approved" footwear we hear so much about in advertising. For sure, a fully loaded safety shoe or boot will provide more than enough legal defence in the event of a challenge from OSHA. What is also true is that such a policy comes at a very high cost. Not every employee requires safety toecap, steel-soled, electricity dissipative footwear. For many work situations only toe protection from falling or rolling heavy objects is required. Is it wise then to incur the full cost of a safety shoe or boot?

For example, an office worker visiting a loading dock to pick up documents will not perform any manufacturing duties while en route. This might imply that the PPE provided to the workers may not be necessary for the office worker. However, since the office worker might be exposed to falling objects, or in close proximity to heavy moving equipment, it would be reasonable to foresee only the need for toe protection against impact and compression.

In another situation a risk assessment for the production area might indicate the need for slip resistant footwear and toe protection. However, it is also reasonable to expect that a visiting office worker might not encounter slippery conditions. Furthermore, such conditions are not supposed to persist and it might be reasonable to expect the office worker to take reasonable evasive action to avoid the risk should it occur.

The danger from sharp objects underfoot requires steel sole protective footwear but where no such risk is anticipated toe protection may be all that is required. A good example would be the paper-making and the newspaper print production industry, where there is little chance of sharp objects but always a chance of rolling stock or heavy moving equipment that can injure toes. Having steel sole shoes or boots that can dissipate electrical shock is just over-kill and costly.

Rubber safetytoe overshoes provide the same protection from impact and compression as safety shoes and boots. The steel toecap meets the same ASTM standards and can easily be verified by test results from the major testing bodies. This is what makes OSHA happy. Rubber has been used for a long time in the safety footwear industry and its slip resistance qualities are well known. The rubber material is flexible but sturdy, in some cases as thick as 6mm resulting in a firm fit and some long wearing characteristics. Rubber safetytoe overshoes are a lot less expensive than safety shoes or boots and they eliminate the hazard of passing along unsanitary footwear. They are especially useful where only occasional toe protection is required, such as with visitors to production facilities, temporary workers and for medical reasons.

Safety personnel looking for budget savings, as in today’s economy, would be well advised to consider them for these reasons and more.

Protection from Hazardous Laboratory Gases

2009-01-18T10:44:00.000-08:00

High-pressure gas cylinders are a necessity for many industrial and laboratory processes. But due to their physical characteristics, they represent a significant hazard in the workplace.

Accidents can be easily contained or avoided when companies properly implement safety equipment. The two most common oversights that violate OSHA regulations are the improper storage of pressurized gas canisters and the failure to install and properly use valve caps. Storage concerns creep up often because environmental changes and simple lapses of judgment can lead to major problems. The damage caused by storage mistakes can range from the deterioration of a canister's sensitive contents to the explosive effect of propelling a pressurized gas canister though the air with enough force to crush concrete.

Gas leaks due to improper handling, equipment failure or corrosion can be a common occurrence in a laboratory or laboratory setting. When poisonous, corrosive or flammable gases are in use, the following specialized gas cylinder handling equipment should be used to protect against personal injury:

Gas Cylinder Racks & Separators

Being tall and narrow, a full-sized cylinder has a very small footprint, making it unstable when standing on its own and thus, easy to be accidentally knocked over. A heavy steel or aluminum cylinder crashing to the floor can easily result in personal injury. Beyond this, however, a cylinder's valve can be sheared off causing sudden and rapid decompression of the gas inside the cylinder. Obviously this scenario greatly increases the likelihood of personal injury and even death.

Federal and local OSHA, building and fire codes therefore require that all high-pressure cylinders be restrained using chains or other types of fasteners such as bunch, floor and wall clamps. This applies to cylinders in storage as well. Cylinder racks and separators provide a safe and convenient way to organize gas cylinders in storage.

Gas Cabinets

When choosing a gas cabinet, be sure to select one that meets Uniform Fire and Building Codes, OSHA, NFPA and Semi Standards. Select a model that meets these requirements and is designed to connect to a local gas control system to maximize safety.

Other helpful safety features to look for include a one-hour fire rated wire-reinforced window, louvered door panel for positive air flow, rugged diamond deck floors, adjustable cylinder brackets and a sprinkler head for added protection in the event of a fire.

Exhaust Systems

If poisonous gases are to be kept in a cabinet, an access window should be provided so the cylinder valve(s) can be closed and leaks detected without opening the cabinet door and fully compromising the exhaust/containment system. Generally, cabinet exhaust systems should be designed with the capability to allow 150 to 200 linear feet (45.7 to 61 linear meters) per minute of air to pass through the cabinet with access window open. This equates to 13 air exchanges per minute. It is important to select a specialty gas exhaust system that meets or exceeds all applicable safety codes.

Cylinder Valve Outlets & Connections

The Compressed Gas Association specifies numbered cylinder valve outlet connections (CGAs) for specific gas services based on safety considerations. If the middle digit of a CGA is a zero or even number, it has right-handed threads and must be turned clockwise to tighten the fitting. If the middle digit is an odd number, then the threads are left-handed and must be turned counterclockwise to tighten the fitting. Turning a fitting in the wrong direction can damage the threads and result in a leaky connection.

The implementation of proper safety measures and equipment can minimize work delays, equipment damage, noncompliance costs, and human injuries. It's a wise business move for a company to invest in preventative measures during the use of gas handling equipment. Gambling with workplace safety is a risk that never pays.

OSHA compliance training you may visit PEO. To start and implement a comprehensive safety program for your company contact Robert Breakiron at rbreakiron@nationalpeo.com. By: Robert Breakiron Safety Manager, National PEO References: Federal OSHA Arizona Department of Occupational Safety and Health ">During the years I have been involved in the EH&S sector of business I am amazed at the attitude many companies and management take toward safety and compliance with OSHA standards. In many cases the general attitude is “I am a small company with only fifteen employees’, OSHA isn’t going to take time to visit me”. Other attitudes management takes toward a safety program are “Safety is a money pit with no return on the dollar and it adds to the cost of doing business”, “I can’t afford to have employees take a half hour a month for safety training”, “I can’t afford to implement a safety program”.

Unfortunately and sadly many employees of both small and large companies pay the price by being injured, permanently disabled or worse, losing their lives needlessly. Beside the false belief that safety costs money many companies and managers are also willing to roll the dice that no serious accidents are going to happen and OSHA will not pay them a visit.

The General Duty Clause of the OSHA Standard states that “Each employer shall furnish to each employee of his place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm to employees”. When an OSHA compliance officer shows up to your business to conduct a compliance inspection they are not there to hassle or make your life miserable and shut your business down. They are conducting the inspection to ensure you the employer are providing a safe and healthful work environment for your employees. Under federal law OSHA can not shut down or cease a business, however, they can issue citations and levy monetary penalties. Depending on how your business fairs during the compliance inspection will determine the type of citations and penalties issued. What management also must consider the standards the company is found not in compliance with and a penalty has been levied, besides paying the penalty, the company must also abate and correct the cited violations. This must be done by the abatement date on the citation for each type of violation, not when management decides they will get around to it. Failure to abate and correct the hazards may also lead to additional penalties on a daily basis until the hazards are corrected.

For the safety professional, changing the mindset of management about safety can sometimes be the same as running into a brick wall. When management is presented statistical and financial data on what accidents and injuries are actually costing the company they will usually sit back and take a different view of safety. Your company comptroller, workers compensation carrier, company liability carrier and OSHA will all support the fact that a comprehensive safety program pays dividends more ways than one. In a recent newsletter published by ADOSH (Arizona Department of Occupational Safety and Health) they estimate that for every dollar invested in a comprehensive safety program, an employer can realize a return of up to four dollars. Where else in todays or tomorrows business world can companies get that kind of return on an investment?

Any accident resulting in an injury has a direct affect on the bottom line of any size company. Take for example a business operating at a twenty percent profit having only one injury resulting in a workers compensation claim of only $495. The total direct and indirect cost of that accident would be approximately $2,722 which would require the company to generate an additional $13,610 is sales to cover the injury. This is the cost of not having a safety program in place to eliminate hazards, training employees in safety and reducing accidents. This goes to prove that the absence of a safety program cost money and a comprehensive safety program could be viewed as a profit center.

For companies who don’t know the process of implementing a safety program or what the OSHA standards are there is plenty of help in the business world to choose from and some of it is free. There are private consultants, PEO’s, professional organizations and OSHA, yes I said OSHA.

OSHA Safety Training: Construction

2008-09-11T05:01:00.000-07:00

Safety training within the construction work environment is vital to the company and more importantly for the well being of the workers. As long as safety and health regulations are properly followed, construction can be safe regardless of its high fatality rate. There are three main concerns for construction companies to pay close attention to such as falls, electrical accidents, trenching and being hit by a vehicle. If these areas are emphasized to employees as being the most dangerous then the workers will pay more attention while in these circumstances. Total construction fatalities rose by 9.1 percent in 2004, from 1131 to 1234, which reinforces the need for proper safety awareness and training.
Falls

Falls are the most prevalent work-related deaths in the construction field. In 1999, an average of 362 deaths was caused by falling on the job. Many construction sites have unprotected opening that is could cause a fatal fall. If the drop is more than six feet to the next lower level there should be some sort of protection. If the hazardous drop is the result of no wall on one side or all sides of a building, the company should build guardrails on all sides where workers could easily fall. When working on a building that requires fixing or replacing a roof, the best option is to implement a safety net under the roof. This will easily catch anyone who falls from losing their balance. Suppose the job site is located at an extremely building, the most effective protection gear would be a fall arrest system. The fall arrest system will stop up to 1800 pounds of force. Other implementable strategies include: evaluate new construction sites before work starts and guard all of the existing holes, cover holes as soon as they form on sites; successfully assemble the hole-guards to hold employees, equipment, and materials. Companies should put into practice covering holes and using either the guardrail, safety net, or personal fall arrest systems together.

Electrical Accidents

There are five main reasons that electrical incidents occur: working around power lines, lack of ground-fault protection, ground path is lost or broken, improper use of equipment, not using extension or flexible cords correctly. When starting up a new job or continuing an old one, there are many precautions to follow. Survey each job site and recognize overhead power lines and do not come within ten feet of them. De-energize lines when working near them. Set up warning signs near buried and visible power lines. Use ground-fault circuit interrupters on all 120-volt, single phase, and 15-20 ampere receptacles. Make sure that all power supplies, circuits, and electrical equipment are grounded. Regularly examine electrical systems to assure that the path is continuously grounded. Never take off protective prongs from connected equipment. Always work with double-insulated tools and ground all metal parts of the equipment. Lastly, make sure that every worker has been trained on how to use equipment correctly and is in functioning condition.

Hit by Vehicles

Over 75% of struck-by deaths are caused by the heavy machinery and equipment. To avoid vehicle related accidents one should follow these procedures: always wear a seat belt; look for other vehicles before every shift; never drive a vehicle if it is not possible to see out of the back; only drive vehicles on safe terrain; never dump loads while people are close by; always use the parking break when leaving the vehicle; inspect the breaks regularly; never surpass a vehicles capacity; and use traffic signs, barricades, and/or flaggers while construction is in process. If the previous list is followed on an everyday basis, construction injuries and deaths could significantly decrease.
