BLS• A total of 4,836 fatal work injuries
were recorded in the United States in 2015, a slight increase from the 4,821 fatal injuries reported in 2014• The 937 fatal work injuries in the
private construction industry in 2015 represented the highest total since 975 cases in 2008.
• Several construction occupations recorded their highest fatality total in years, including • construction laborers (highest since
2008); • carpenters (2009); • electricians (2009); and • plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters
(2003).
June 2016• Columbus WI• The teen was working at the factory
on June 27, 2016 when he was pinned in a machine while cleaning scrap from underneath a laser cutter in operation.• He later died of his injuries on July 2,
2016. • The teen had only been working there
two weeks when the incident happened.
This IS my sister-in-law's nephew !!! Killed at 17 ... all because of company not following safety rules, providing proper training and equipment to ensure lockout/tagout - DA
Whistleblower 2017• When a co-worker severed part of
his thumb in July 2014, a food processor at a beef jerky manufacturing plant acted quickly, helping him apply pressure to the wound and using her cellphone to call 911. • Before responders could answer,
the company's owner ordered her to hang up. • Two days later, she was terminated.
Lonestar Beef Jerky is not associated with this man! He was the previous owner and we acquired his recipes and brand name in 2016 with no knowledge of this or his other deplorable behavior!
Data• If you make it easier to use
safety, more likely it will be used and get done. • Cones, grease gun, lockout,
brooms.• Kevin O’Leary
Secretary of Labor• Andy Puzder • Head of the Hardee’s and Carl’s
Jr. burger chains• Confirmation Hearings next
Data• 35% of all fatalities occurred in
workers age 55 or older, with 1,691 deaths. • This is the highest number of
fatalities ever recorded for this group of workers.
Older workers• The preliminary number of
workers ages 55 and older who died on the job was "the highest total ever reported" by the bureau's census. • The number jumped from 1,490
in 2013 to 1,621 in 2014, a 9 percent rise. • 18% of the workforce, 35% of
fatalities
Effective Dates• Published in Federal Register November 17, 2016• Effective January 17, 2017 • Most of the rule will become effective 60 days
after publication in the Federal Register, but some provisions have delayed effective dates, including:
• Ensuring exposed workers are trained on fall hazards (6 months),
• Inspecting and certifying permanent anchorages for rope descent systems (1 year),
• Installing personal fall arrest or ladder safety systems on new fixed ladders over 24 feet and on replacement ladders/ladder sections, including fixed ladders on outdoor advertising structures (2 years),
• Ensuring existing fixed ladders over 24 feet, including those on outdoor advertising structures, are equipped with a cage, well, personal fall arrest system, or ladder safety system (2 years), and
• Replacing cages and wells (used as fall protection) with ladder safety or personal fall arrest systems on all fixed ladders over 24 feet (20 years).
Dockboards• The employer must ensure that
each dockboard used meets the requirements of this section. The employer must ensure:• (d) Measures, such as wheel
chocks or sand shoes, are used to prevent the transport vehicle (e.g. a truck, semi-trailer, trailer, or rail car) on which a dockboard is placed, from moving while employees are on the dockboard;
1910.26
Work on low-slope roofs• When work is performed less
than 6 feet (1.6 m) from the roof edge, the employer must ensure each employee is protected from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system.
1910.28(b)(13)(i)
Low Sloped Roofs• When work is performed at least
6 feet (1.6 m) but less than 15 feet (4.6 m) from the roof edge, the employer must ensure each employee is protected from falling by using a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system.
1910.28(b)(13)(ii)
Flat Roofs• When work is performed 15 feet (4.6 m) or
more from the roof edge, the employer must: • (A) Protect each employee from falling by a
guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system or a designated area. The employer is not required to provide any fall protection, provided the work is both infrequent and temporary; and
• (B) Implement and enforce a work rule prohibiting employees from going within 15 feet (4.6 m) of the roof edge without using fall protection in accordance with paragraphs (b)(13)(i) and (ii) of this section.
1910.28(b)(13)(iii)
Ladder Safety Systems• The employer must ensure: • (1) Each ladder safety system allows
the employee to climb up and down using both hands and does not require that the employee continuously hold, push, or pull any part of the system while climbing; (2) The connection between the carrier or lifeline and the point of attachment to the body harness or belt does not exceed 9 inches (23 cm);
1910.29(i)

carabiners must be proof tested to a minimum tensile load of 3,600 pounds (16 kN) without cracking, breaking, or incurring permanent deformation. The gate strength of snaphooks and carabiners, must be proof tested to 3,600 lbs. (16 kN) in all directions.
1910.140(c)(8)
Beryllium• The old exposure limit, established
in 1949, was based largely on guesswork and dubbed "the taxicab standard" because a government health official and an industry medical consultant came up with the rule in the back of a taxi.• The new standard will be 0.2
micrograms per cubic meter, much stronger than what OSHA sought in the 1970s.
Criminal 2017• A crane operator faces involuntary
manslaughter charges in a 2014 incident in which his son and another construction worker plummeted to their deaths from above a Winters bridge construction site.
• Mark Powell operated the crane that lifted the basket carrying son and operator Marcus Zane Powell and pile driver Glenn Allen Hodgson early May 30, 2014, according to a Cal-OSHA citation.
• The hoisted basket they rode aboard broke free, plunging the pair eight stories to their deaths.
Criminal Update 2017• Wilmer Cueva, 51, of Elmwood
Park, New Jersey, a foreman for Sky Materials, was convicted of criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment in the death of Carlos Moncayo, 22 during excavation at a Restoration Hardware site.• Sentencing 1-3 years.
IL 19 Times = $241,000• The four willful violations include the absence
of an accident-prevention program; lack of eye and face protective equipment with use of nail guns; no personal fall arrests, guardrails or safety net systems for workers at heights; and anchorage points used for the attachment of personal fall arrest systems were not independent of the anchorage points used to suspend platforms.
• This isn't a new experience for Barringer. • Since 2006, Barringer's various businesses --
Barringer Brothers Roofing, Barringer Brothers Inc., and Barringer Brothers Construction Inc. -- have been cited and fined 19 times by OSHA for safety hazards.

Last Year of Dr. Michaels• May 2015• “We think we're only
getting a very small portion of the accidents that should be reported,” said Dr. David Michaels, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health who is in charge of OSHA.
“When we investigate, we see that most employers don’t treat temporary workers the way they treat their permanent employees — they don’t provide them with the training that is necessary.”
Aug 2016• Tonawanda NY• There no reason to ever joke
about a loved one’s loss due to a workplace death.• "Michelle Reese This is my uncle.
Thanks everyone for the condolences. For those making jokes you may kindly F off... I'm sure you wouldn't be joking if it was someone you love"
Aug 2016• Settlement• The Secretary alleged in the
Complaint that US Steel’s Immediate Reporting Policy discourages reasonable employees from reporting injuries as soon as they realize they have been injured because they risk violating US Steel’s temporally stringent requirement under the Immediate Reporting Policy.
Aug 2016• Government subcontractors to
report their violation histories directly to the Labor Department• Federal contractors over
$500,000
• The first step begins Oct. 25, 2016, when prime contractors will be required to disclose violations from the previous one year, and only when seeking contracts valued at $50 million or more. • Six months later, on April
25, businesses will be subjected to the rules when bidding on contracts of $500,000 or more. • Subcontractors won't
begin reporting until Oct. 25, 2017.
Aug 2016• The new civil
penalty amounts • Aug. 1, 2016• The maximum
penalty for willful or repeated violations will increase from $70,000 to $124,709

May 2016• Electronic recordkeeping• Under the new rule, all establishments with
250 or more employees in industries covered by the recordkeeping regulation must electronically submit to OSHA injury and illness information from OSHA Forms 300, 300A, and 301. Establishments with 20-249 employees in certain industries* must electronically submit information from OSHA Form 300A only.
• Form 300 (the Log) – All collected data fields on the 300 Log will generally be made available on the Web site.
• Requirements take effect Aug. 10, 2016, with phased in data submissions beginning in 2017.
• Employee names will not be collected
Drug Testing• OSHA’s interprets this rule broadly to
prohibit mandatory post-accident drug testing, concluding that such tests discriminate against employees on the basis of injury and illness reporting. • OSHA further explains that incentive
programs are retaliatory if they offer benefits to employees or workforces who do not report injuries and illnesses• OSHA announced that it was delaying
the enforcement date of the new rules to November 1, 2016
May 2016• “1700 pages of discovery later and
they folded like a cheap suit.”• “The issue is that 2 employees
were wearing orange jackets. When the CSHO was taking photos at 915am there was an employee signaling the crane. • When the CSHO came back at 1pm
- Foreman was monitoring and also wearing an orange jacket.”
May 2016
Active Shooter• BLS• Workplace homicides
were higher by 12 cases after the updates, raising the workplace homicide total in 2012 to 475 cases.• 760 workers died at work
in 2014
Expressway shootings are increasing
• Illinois State Police data showed that 19 shootings were reported in 2014 and 16 were reported in 2013.
• In total, there have been 41 shootings on Chicago-area expressways so far this year. That's compared to 39 total shootings on expressways in 2015.
Why so many shootings?• People on the road are defenseless — unable to detect or focus on
approaching trouble because they're already focused on driving.
• Shootings can be random.
• Gang violence can spill onto expressways.
Shooting examples
• A semi driver was shot in the face and seriously wounded as he drove north on the Dan Ryan Expressway near Chicago’s 95th Street.
• May 19, 2016.
• Two people were shot on the the inbound lanes of Interstate 290 in Chicago.
• The driver was shot five times. The passenger was grazed.
• August 13, 2016.
Sep 2016
• 2 Dead, 1 Wounded in Separate Shootings on Eisenhower Expressway Hours Apart
• Illinois State Police said the shooting happened just after noon Thursday on Interstate 290 in the eastbound lanes near the exit ramp to Central Avenue
• Just before 6 a.m., ISP officers responded to reports of shots being fired in the westbound lanes of I-290 near Laramie Avenue, officials said.

Security window films to prevent breakage• Bullet-resistant film keeps broken glass from flying
everywhere.
• Security films are made from multi-ply sheets of biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate• It’s a sturdy version of the same plastic used for pop bottles.
• It’s not as effective as bullet-proof glass, but it’s much safer than regular windows.
Films can prevent window breakage
• Video: 3M™ Scotchshield™ Automotive Security Film Demonstration
• Security films protect you and your car by blocking heat from the sun, increasing your privacy and holding broken glass together.
• They increase the amount of time and effort it takes thieves to enter your vehicle, deterring property crime.
