COMPANY SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ©2013 National Air Duct Cleaners Association, in cooperation with Occupational Safety & Environmental Assoc. Inc. FORWARD Date: February 25, 2013 To: NADCA Member From: John P. Coniglio, PhD, CSP, CHCM, CHMM, RPIH Executive Vice President, COO Occupational Safety & Environmental Assoc., Inc. Most safety manuals have been developed in accordance with the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which are typically minimum standards that may allow you to be compliant, but still put you at risk for an incident. OSEA has developed this manual in accordance with best practices when it was published. The purchaser must realize that a safety manual is a living, breathing document that must be constantly improved by a competent, qualified person familiar with changes and updates in these best practices as well as compliance. It is expressly stated that the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and Occupational Safety & Environmental Assoc., Inc. are not to be held liable for any issues from the use or misuse of this safety manual. It is the responsibility of each employer to determine the hazards present at their job sites, and recognize, evaluate and control those hazards to minimize exposure to their employees and clients. This manual has been developed to be compliant with the current requirements of OSHA. Each employer must verify in the areas that they operate to determine additional state and local requirements above and beyond the scope presented. It is incumbent of international members to check with their country’s requirements as well. A safety and health program that addresses site-specific hazards including an emergency action plan, performs frequent task hazard or job safety analysis, conducts regular and frequent inspection, and has a proactive program that corrects deficiencies will be successful in the establishment of a safe workplace.
