Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

The definition of an accident reportable to the DOT is different from the definition of an accident recordableunder OSHA. The same event may trigger both requirements or only one of the two. It depends on the specific circumstances.

ADSO stands for the Active Duty Service Obligation. Like any other organization, the ADSO must be familiar with OSHA policies that apply to their workplace.

OSHA does not have a specific standard for the spacing of balusters.

If dental work is the result of a work related injury, then as a medical procedure beyond first aid it may be OSHA recordable. Consult a specialist who is aware of all the specifics surrounding the event.

Recordable injury is an illness under OSHA that requires medical treatment more than first aid. This can cause loss of consciousness, days that cannot go to work and even death.

Federal OSHA is an agency in the US Department of Labor that is responsible for issuing workplace safety and health standards, and for inspecting covered workplaces to confirm compliance. Federal OSHA regulations apply to private sector employers of employees, and by Executive Order to some agencies of the Federal Government. They do not apply to State or local governments and most Federal government agencies, except in so far as those agencies decide on their own to use them. By a recent Act of Congress, Federal OSHA regulations now also apply to Congressional workplaces.

Indiana OSHA is a state agency authorized by OSHA to operate an occupational safety and health regulatory process within the state of Indiana. Their regulations must be at least as effective as those of Federal OSHA, but they may be more effective. As a condition of being permitted to operate this process in Indiana in place of the Federal organization, Indiana OSHA is required to cover public sector employment as well as private sector. In return, Federal OSHA reimburses Indiana up to 90% of the cost of the state program.

OSHA regulations apply directly to the US Postal Service. Most other Federal agencies have internal rules that say they will follow the OSHA regulations, but this may not include giving OSHA the authority to inspect their operations and issue citations or fines.

OSHA regulations do not apply to state governments or their subordinate units like state universities, country or city government, etc. If a state has established an OSHA-approved State program, then the State equivalent of OSHA enforces regulations that are at least as stringent as those of OSHA, and they must apply to all state and local governments or OSHA cannot approve the program. About half the states have such programs.

The OSHA regulations set the requirement to have extingishers, refers to the NFPA standards, and sets a requirement to train workers to use them.

In medical situations that can produce sharps OSHA does require their availability and use.

Being under the influence of alcohol can lead to an injury, but has nothing to do with whether the injury is OSHA recordable. An injury is OSHA recordable if it occurred at or in the course of work, required medical treatment beyond first aid, resulted in lost or restricted time, etc.

No. Worker's Compenstation is completely separate form OSHA. Worker's Compensation is run by each state under its own legislation. OSHA is a US Federal Agency.

OSHA does nothing for the environment. Its purpose is for workpalce health and safety. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is the regulatory body for environment.

The UK has occupational exposure standards but they are not OSHA standards because OSHA is a US government agency. In the UK, occupational safety and health is regulated by the Health and Safety Executive

The purpose of OSHA regulations is to make workplaces as safe as possible; minimizing accidents, reducing the severity of accidents, and reducing long term illnesses

resulting from workplace conditions.

Executive Order 12196 was issued on 26 February. It applies to all agencies of the Executive Branch of the US Government, except military personnel and uniquely military equipment. In broad terms, it requires that each Executive Agency furnish to employees places and conditions of employment that are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm, establish and operate a formal Occupational Safety and Health Program, designate an agency official to manage that program, and comply with the OSHA standards except where an alternative agency standard may be approved by the Secretary of Labor.

This Executive had little effect on OSHA, other than expanding somewhat its advisory role to other Federal agencies. Its effect on the Army was to require that Army operation's that were not uniquely military in character had to comply with OSHA standards. However, enforcement was from within the Department of Defense.

OSHA does not recommend disinfectants.

Making employees work without any protection from airborne particles while the workplace undergoes extensive renovation would be an OSHA violation only if the concentration of the airborne particles was greater than the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). While there are a few rough rules of thumb for assessing particle concentration, the only sure way of determining whether the OSHA PEL is being exceeded is to measure the amount of particles in the air.

It protects everyone that is working in a hazardous environment or in a workplace that has dangers. It aims to set rules and guidelines that will help minimize all kinds of dangers or harm that can come to those workers or the people in the workplace.

The Permissible Exposure for noise according to OSHA is 90 dBA at the employee's ears, taken as an 8-hour time-weighted average. The noise source and its distance from the employee is not relevant to that, although it is important in calculating the reduction of sound intensity with distance.

In addition, if an employee has an 8-hour time-weighted average noise exposure of 85 dBA or greater, the employee must be enrolled in a hearing conservation program, given training and hearing protection.
