Many OSHA standards were adopted from National Consensus Standards ANSI ACGIH NFPA Occupational Exposure limits OSHA permissible exposure limits PELs were adopted from ACGIH 1968 TLVs ACGIH TVLs and OSHA PELs are based on 8 hr day 40 hour week Short term exposure 15 minutes Ceiling level instantaneous exposure measurement Air Contaminates & Toxic Substances • 29 CFR 1910.1000 • Asbestos • Lead • Benzene • Carbon monoxide • Cadmium • Hexavalent chrome • Acetone • Formaldehyde 8 TWA Calculation Two hours exposure at 150 ppm Two hours exposure at 75 ppm Four hours exposure at 50 ppm Substituting this information in the formula, we have (2×150 + 2×75 + 4×50)÷8 = 81.25 ppm Since 81.25 ppm is less than 100 ppm, the 8-hour time weighted average limit, the exposure is acceptable. Exposure Limits Considerations • Are OSHA exposure limits updated annually? • Will OSHA exposure limits protect 100% of the working population exposed? • ACGIH TLVs are updated annually • Exposure limits do not take into account the synergetic effects of the exposure to multiple chemicals Understanding human health • Why is it important to have a basic understanding of the various components of the human anatomy? • Usually the industrial hygienist is concerned with the evaluation of the problem from the heath perspective.

  • A Model for Mandatory Job Safety Analysis Embedded in the Premit-To-Work System >
    International Gas Union Research Conference 2011 <A MODEL FOR MANDATORY JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS EMBEDDED IN THE PREMIT-TO-WORK SYSTEM > Main author I. K. Yoon KOREA ABSTRACT Permit to Work (PTW) systems is defined as "a formal documented system used to control the certain types of work that are potentially hazardous". Generally, PTW system should be designed to specify the work to be done safely and the precaution to be taken as well as approval, responsibility, permissions of work. For this reason, PTW is regarded as one of the most important safety management system to control the risk of maintenance that causes 30% of the accident in chemical industries. In the early days, PTW was based on paper based system. But recently has continued to evolve into a computer based system. And these advanced systems has been applied to 80% of oil industry in North Sea and upgraded with providing the hazard information as well as supporting documentation. Usually, the hazard information is provided in the form of hazard checklist or attached risk assessment report such as JSA sheet. But when we consider the various types of work, place and environment, all the potential work related hazard cannot be reviewed in the form of prescribed checklist or certain attachment. To review the potential hazard perfectly, the work permit should be supported by Job Safety Analysis (JSA). But it has rarely been seen that company have a rule to require the mandatory JSA whenever permit to work is accomplished. Despite a relatively simple analysis structure, it is time-consuming and person-consuming methodology to complete all the procedure.

EPA COVID-19 Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Supplement Instructions 5. EPA COVID-19 Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) Supplement Template 6. EPA COVID-19 OLEM Job Hazard Analysis Supplement Example 1. Introduction • The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency is very dynamic. Federal, state and local government guidance is updated frequently. There may be new CDC, OSHA or EPA guidance that will impact the current content of this JHA prior to the next update. As a result, it is important to review the government links in this JHA for new information. Additionally, due to possible differences in state or local health department requirements on COVID-19, the employee, supervisor and the SHEMP manager should review applicable state/local requirements before traveling and deployment to a site. These state/local requirements may be more flexible for essential workers that are traveling into the area, and EPA travel for field work may qualify as such essential travel. • Prior to travel, assess the prevalence for COVID-19 cases in the area(s) you are traveling to (and through) in addition to where you will be performing site work. This assessment should include evaluation of whether the area has demonstrated a downward trajectory of positive tests and documented cases within a 14-day period. Including this will help staff determine how to “assess the prevalence.”. • Specific COVID-19 information can be found on state/territorial/local government and health department websites.

  • Hazard Identification Is the Foundation of a Safe Workplace
    HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Hazard identification is the foundation of a safe workplace. You cannot eliminate, reduce, or manage a risk until you know what the risk is. At the most basic level, hazard identification is simply looking at a task or a situation and asking, “Is there anything here that could hurt someone?” Several standard hazard identification tools that can help you document the hazard-identification and risk-management process are: Job hazard analysis (JHA) Personal protective Also referred to as a job safety analysis (JSA), a equipment (PPE) assessment JHA is a systematic way of identifying hazards Required by Oregon OSHA, a PPE assessment associated with a specific task or operation. determines what PPE is required for a specific The JHA simplifies the process of identifying job or task. This document also serves as a hazards by looking at the individual subtasks valuable training and communication tool for involved in a specific job. teaching employees what PPE they need to wear to perform their work safely Pre-task planning (PTP) Pretask planning is similar to conducting a JHA. Hazard inspections, PTP is a valuable tool in construction and other surveys, and observations work where the operations and conditions can Hazard inspections can be general or specific. change frequently. It can be used daily to remind They can include the use of a checklist or be workers of the risks associated with the work documented using a “blank page” approach. they will perform that day. Checklists are easy to use and considered best for ensuring compliance with regulations, rules, and policies.

  • Methods of Control
    MODULE 4 METHODS OF CONTROL Recognize Evaluate Control At the end of this module, you will be able to… Identify the three types of control that should be used to achieve electrical safety. Identify the engineering, administrative and PPE electrical controls you use on your job as well as the controls you should be using. Identify facts and procedures relating to lockout/tagout. List the steps required to achieve an electrically safe condition. Recognize when a work permit is required to work on energized electrical circuits. Recognize the appropriate warning signs to alert employees to the danger of electricity. Recognize the appropriate PPE to use based on the calculated energy value of an energy source. Given a case study, determine the most appropriate method of control and necessary corrective action. Prevention Strategies for Electrical Hazards 1 © 2008 National Safety Council MODULE 4 PARTICIPANT GUIDE Controls for Electrical Hazards Question: What is a control? Answer: Three Types of Control Engineering—Engineering controls engineer the hazard out by initial design specifications or by applying substituion methods, isolation, enclosure, or ventilation. Of the three types of controls, engineering control methods should be considered first. Examples: Administrative—Administrative controls reduce employee exposures through methods such as education and training, work reduction, job rotation, maintenance/repairs, housekeeping, personal hygiene, and appropriate work practices. Administrative controls depend on constant human implementation or intervention. Examples: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)—Personal Protective Equipment is worn by employees to protect them from the environment. PPE includes anything from gloves to full body suits with self-contained breathing apparatus and can be used with engineering and administrative controls.
