Commonly Cited OSHA Standards
Commonly Cited OSHA StandardsNotes:
1.) Training lapses lead to 4 general duty violations
2.) Fall exposures in growing areas have been noted and cited by OSHA
- General Duty Violations- General Industry Violation
3.) Electrical hazards were the most frequent citation
4.) Formaldehyde has its own standard – if you use it BEWARE.
Application
Application
Today’s Areas of Focus:
1.) Areas where ‘caught-in and struck-by’ hazards are present
2.) Areas of potential sprain and strain injuries
3.) Areas of potential fall hazards in growing areas
4.) Areas of potential training lapse
5.) Simple electrical hazards
Caught–In
Caught–In Hazards 1.) Most commonly caused by missing or incorrect machine guarding or;
2.) Failure to Lock or Tagout

Caught–In Best Practices
Caught–In
Caught–In Hazard Best Practices 1.) Machines should be appropriately guarded
2.) Guards should be functional; provide full protection and not create an additional hazards
3.) If guards are removed, LO/TO or cord control should be practiced
4.) Disciplinary action when guards are not replaced or LOTO procedures are not followed
5.) See Guarding and LOTO presentations on AMI website.
Caught–In
How do you prevent caught-in injuries?
Struck–By
Struck–By Hazards 1.) Struck-By falling materials or;
2.) Struck-By moving tractors, various mechanized equipment and powered industrial trucks

Struck–By Hazards In Industry Others include:
- Equipment dropped from the second level of growing rooms
- Product being handed down from the second level
- Maintenance work overhead
Struck–By
Struck–By Best Practices
Struck–By
Struck–By Hazard Best Practices 1.) Controlled Access Zones
- Zones for Pedestrians - Zones for Loaders and Equipment
2.) High visibility clothing in heavy traffic areas or areas where heavy equipment is operating
3.) Appropriate signals, horns and lighting
4.) Other administrative controls- Training- Policy
Struck–By
How do you prevent struck-by injuries?
Strain and Sprain
Sprain/Strain Hazards 1.) Frequently the ‘catch all’ injury
2.) Think effort not final result- i.e. Slip and Strain ≠ Lift and Strain
3.) One of the toughest to prevent- Behaviors are a large contributing factor in many
claims- Limited opportunities for engineering controls

Strain and Sprain Hazard Best Practices
1.) Mechanical Aids and Tools- i.e. dragging hook, pallet lift, etc.
2.) Administrative Controls- i.e. employee training, weight limits, partner
lifting, etc.
3.) Review the job for areas of improvement- i.e. Job Safety Analysis, improvements to work
space, etc.

Fall Hazards
Fall Hazards Best Practices1.) Walking Boards
- Multiple 2X4’s or;
- 2 to 3 - 1x6’s; 1x8’s or 1x12’s- Connected together- Some means of limiting movement during harvesting
operations- Distance between sideboards and walking boards
should be <8”
2.) Trap Doors- Guard rails around open doors- Removable middle rail to pass product through
3.) Stairways- Guardrails- Top rail should be 36” – 44” from the floor- Middle rail should be approx ½ way between floor and top rail
Fall Hazards
How do you prevent injuries related to fall exposures in
growing areas?
Training Lapses
Issues related to Training Lapse1.) General Duty Clause citations at composting and farm operations.
2.) Unique hazards require unique policies and training
3.) Language barrier hinder informal training processes
4.) An educated workforce is more likely to make the safe choice
Training Lapses
Likely Areas of Training Lapse (Standards)
1.) Hazard Communications- New Training requirements effective 12/01/13
2.) Powered Industrial Truck- Training available through this grant
3.) Lockout/Tagout- Training authorized employees- Training all employees that may be affected
4.) Personal Protective Equipment- Purpose of equipment- Use and storeage
5.) Respirators- Purpose of equipment- Other requirements
Training Lapses
Likely Areas of Training Lapse (Industry)
1.) Composting Wharf- High Visibility Clothes policy- Pedestrian walking areas identified- Communication procedures- Restricted access areas
2.) Contract Crews- Safe Lifting procedures- Equipment use procedures (i.e. spawning machine,
roller, etc)
3.) Packing Areas- Powered industrial truck seat belt use
4.) Farms- Removal and replacement of walking boards and trap
doors
Training Lapse
How do you prevent injuries related to training lapse?
Simple Electrical Hazards
Simple Electrical Hazards1.) Hazards that can readily be identified by any trained person
2.) Most frequently cited hazard in this industry
3.) Most hazardous exposure our employees face*

Simple Electrical Hazards Best Practices
1.) Train employees on what to look for
2.) Use appropriate repairs- Vulcanized repair kits, wet environment plugs, etc.
3.) Do not use flexible (extension) cords for permanent wiring
4.) Electrical tape should not be visible
5.) Missing ground plugs are unacceptable

hazards?
Conclusion
Conclusion1.) Our industry is unique in terms of the hazards we face
2.) 6 days of each week a mushroom industry employee is injured
3.) 2 days of each week a mushroom industry employee has a lost time injury
4.) We need to take some additional steps to prevent injuries
5.) Open discussion of best safety practices in the industry is the best way to improve our safety record collectively
