Will you be a Target for the New OSHA Sheriff?
|
|
In his recently published article, Arthur Sapper, partner in the OSHA Practice Group of McDermott, Will & Emery, says, "Every day brings new stories of citations with much higher penalties and alleging 'willful' and 'repeated' violations - all at a rate far higher than under the Bush and Clinton administrations. President Barack Obama's OSHA now is issuing "egregious" willful citations at a rate five times of that when he was inaugurated" (Sapper, Arthur. "Will you be a Target for the New OSHA Sheriff?" EHS Today July 2010).
Read the complete article to learn of the five things that, according to Sapper, employers should do to avoid willful and repeated violations. Full Article

Machine Safeguarding - An Investment and Cost Cutting Measure
|
|
Seat belts, airbags, crumple zones and collapsible steering columns. These are just a few of the safety measures designed into most cars these days. These devices neither make our cars faster nor do they increase fuel efficiency, yet it is nearly impossible to find a new car without them, why? The cost of not having them far outweighs the cost of designing these safety measures into our automobiles.
Couldn't we make the same argument for our fabrication equipment? Without question, the cost of not having proper machine safeguards far outweighs the cost of designing these safety measures into plant operations.
Learn more about the benefits of investing in workplace safety in Machine Safeguarding: an Investment and Cost Cutting Measure as published in the April 2010 issue of Fabricating & Metalworking magazine. Full Article
