BOS 4025, OSHA Standards 1
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate the ability to locate and interpret the OSHA standards in
Subparts D-F.
2. Define key terms common to the standards covered in this module.
3. Apply the OSHA standards in Subparts D-F to real-word situations.
Unit Lesson
The OSHA General Industry Standards can be found at 29 CFR Part 1910.
Part 1910 is organized into Subparts A though Z, with each subpart comprised
of related standards. The standards are
numbered sequentially, starting with 1910.1 in
Subpart A and ending with 1910.1450 in Subpart
Z; so, while it is helpful to be able to identify
Subparts, only the standard number is really
needed to locate a specific requirement. Parts A,
B, and C are primarily administrative guidelines,
explanations, and definitions. We begin this unit
with Subpart D, Walking-Working Surfaces.
According to OSHA,
Slips, trips, and falls constitute the majority of
general industry accidents. They cause 15% of
all accidental deaths, and are second only to
motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities. The
OSHA standards for walking/working surfaces
apply to all permanent places of employment,
except where only domestic, mining, or
agricultural work is performed. (OSHA, n.d para 1)
The walking and working surfaces standards encompass 1910.22 through
1910.30. They provide specifications for safe aisles, floors, walkways, stairs,
ladders, and platforms that employees utilize during their workday. In other
words, these standards require a workplace free from tripping and slipping
hazards and from hazards that might result in falling from one level to another.
Structurally sound ladders, stairs, and platforms with proper railings and similar
systems are required to prevent employees from falling when moving from one
level to another.

UNIT II STUDY GUIDE
Subparts D-F: Walking/Working Surfaces, Life
Safety, and Personnel Lifting Devices
BOS 4025, OSHA Standards 2
Subpart E includes 1910.33 through 1910.39. These standards
were put in
place to assure safe and orderly egress during emergency
situations,
particularly emergencies related to fire. They apply to all
workplaces in general
industry except mobile workplaces, such as vehicles or vessels.
The egress
standards are based primarily on various iterations of the
5. National Fire
Protection Association's (NFPA) Life Safety Code, although
they do not include
the same coverage and level of detail as the NFPA standard. The
NFPA
standards include many types of occupancies, such as private
dwellings,
apartment buildings, schools, and places of assembly, that are
not regulated by
OSHA.
1910.36 and 1910.37 deal primarily with egress and exit issues
related to the
physical facilities of a given workplace. They include
specifications and
regulations for exits, exit routes, doorways, and emergency
lighting. 1910.38
outlines the requirements for an effective emergency action plan
to ensure safe
and orderly evacuations from the facility in the case of an
emergency. 1910.39
is the fire prevention plan standard and provides requirements
for facilities with
operations that increase the likelihood of fire.
In Subpart F, 1910.66, and 1910.67 deal primarily with powered
platforms in
tall facilities such as grain elevators and high-rise structures.
Many safety
professionals will never have to deal with these issues, but it is
still important to
be familiar with the requirements. 1910.67, Vehicle-Mounted
Elevating and
Rotating Work
(Aboutmovies, 2010)
6. (Alza, 2009)
OSHA’s walking and working
surfaces standards (1910.22-
1910.30) provide specifications for
safe aisles, floors, walkways, stairs,
ladders, and platforms (from lecture)
(INCOSV, 2009)
BOS 4025, OSHA Standards 3
Platforms, has broad
application in many industries.
These platforms are often
used to elevate workers to
perform tasks ranging from
changing light bulbs in
warehouses to working on
outdoor utility lines. Think of
the “cherry pickers” you see
utility workers using in your
neighborhood.
Most of the standards covered
in this unit are “specification”
standards, that is, they are
explicit guidelines, such as the
height of guardrails or the
width of exits. As we continue
7. in the course, we will see
more specification standards,
but we will also begin to see
more “performance”
standards, which describe the
desired outcome, but are not as explicit on how to achieve it.

worth 30 points. They require essay answers in APA format
with at least one reference at the bottom of the page. The 200
word requirement is a minimum. Just answering the question
will not get you full credit. I will be looking for your summary
analysis of question. Some Students have given a 4+ sentence
summary analysis which worked well.
The exit access and emergency preparedness standards evolved
as a result of a number of tragic workplace fires that have
19. occurred during past decades. The National Safety Council
(NSC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) did
a lot of the early work to develop these standards.
Discuss the extent to which you think the existing OSHA
standards related to life safety help to keep workplaces safe.
Given the NFPA’s role and the role of local Fire Marshals,
should OSHA even be getting involved in this area? What are
some of the advantages and disadvantages to having OSHA
involved?

Unit III Project
Worksite Hazard Assessment
OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment Standard requires
employers to assess the workplace to determine if hazards are
present that necessitate the use of PPE. Based on the
assessment, appropriate PPE must be selected and provided to
affected employees.
Using Subpart I Appendix B as a guide, develop a hazard
assessment for your workplace or a workplace you are familiar
with. If you work in an office or other non-hazardous location,
develop an assessment for an imagined industrial shop,
such as woodworking or metalworking. Use the other sections
of Subpart I to help determine the appropriate PPE for
each hazard. You can also use online safety equipment catalogs
to find examples of PPE that meets the OSHA
requirements.
Your submission must be a minimum of two pages, but no
23. longer than four. References and citations in APA format
should be provided to support the hazard determinations and
PPE selection.
Subpart I Appendix B is located at the following link:

HAZCOM Training Presentation
The 2012 revision to the Hazard Communication Standard
requires that employers train workers on the GHS-compliant
hazard warning labels and safety data sheets. (See
1910.1200(h)(3)(iv). Using Appendices C and D of the current
standard as a resource, develop a 7-10 slide PowerPoint
presentation that can be used to train the employees at your
workplace or a workplace you are familiar with. Include
examples of the hazardous materials found in your selected
workplace in the presentation.
When creating your presentation, be sure your explanations and
discussion are in plain language and at a level suitable
for your target workforce–do not simply quote the standard.

study.
24. I. Background: OSHA Standards and Bubba’s Materials
Handling Equipment, Inc.
Bubba’s Materials Handling Equipment is a small corporation
that employs between 38 and 55 employees throughout any
given year. This firm manufactures materials handling
equipment that includes small cantilever racks, hand trucks,
some
specially designed for moving 55-gallon drums, and various
dollies commonly used in the manufacturing sector. The
facility was built in 1958 and is roughly 80,000 square feet. The
firm receives raw materials in the form of round metal
tubing, sheet metal, square tubing, and cold and hot rolled metal
rods.
Raw materials are removed from flatbed trailers using a large
LP-gas-powered forklift with the assistance of smaller LP-
gas-powered forklifts. These materials are stored in racks in the
receiving department. From there, raw materials are
moved via forklift and various heavy duty carts to the
fabrication department. This department cuts, punches, bends,
copes, and shears the various materials into parts used to make
the final product.
The metal fabrication equipment includes two iron workers, two
70-ton part revolution mechanical power punch presses,
three 250-ton part revolution press brakes, a 300-ton hydraulic
press, two pipe benders, a twelve-foot shear, a 10-foot
shear, a mill for milling a bevel on hand truck toe plates,
several off-hand grinders, and two large drill presses. The

25. BOS 4025, OSHA Standards 3
fabrication department can get quite noisy for days at a time
(>85dBa), especially when making cantilever racks. Two
maintenance employees keep these machines running. After
being cut, punched, bent, and formed, fabricated parts go to
the welding department or the Work in Process (WIP) crib. WIP
includes a mezzanine and an area populated with pallet
racks for storage.
In the welding department, there are 12 MIG welding machines
that are used by welders to assemble the parts into the
pre-finished items manufactured by the firm. The welders also
use an assortment of hand-held grinders and an
oxyacetylene torch. Once welded, items either go in their pre-
finished condition into inventory or are further processed by
the painting department. Pre-finished items that are inventoried
are taken to one of two mezzanines or placed in storage
racks. In the painting department, items are wiped down with
various solvents and hung on an overhead hook conveyor.
Items go into the paint booth where they are painted using
various enamels. Xylenes and toluene are common solvents
used in this operation. The paints also contain these solvents.
After painting, axles and wheels are applied, and the completed
products are boxed or, depending on their size, loaded
directly on trucks without packaging. Larger items, such as
racks, are loaded onto flatbeds using an unmanned overhead
crane controlled by a pendant control. Smaller items are
typically loaded onto standard semi-trailers using battery-
powered forklifts or pallet jacks.
II. The Scenario:
You have been hired by Bubba himself to put together a safety
program for the company. Essentially, the company has
26. no safety programs and has never really conducted any kind of
hazard assessment.
III. Questions:
1. Identify 15 of what you consider the highest priority
standards that are likely to apply to this operation. Include the
code number for the standard, and describe a hazard
demonstrating why the standard applies (e.g., Industrial
Ventilation, 1910.94. The company has a paint booth that
controls paint and solvent vapors).
2. Identify four important written programs this company is
required to have (keep in mind that not all standards
require that you develop a written program or SOP of some sort;
although, many companies develop such SOPs
regardless). Explain why you believe they are required to have
these written programs.
3. Identify five standards that this company is required to
provide training for, and briefly describe why this training is
required.
Prepare your response to the questions listed in a properly
formatted APA document. The completed paper should be
arranged in the appropriate questions/sections identified above.
Single-spacing may be used. Please make sure that you
have addressed all questions in a full and detailed manner.
Include a correctly formatted APA title and reference page.
Remember to cite all sources used.
APA Guidelines
27. CSU requires that students use the APA style for papers and
projects. Therefore, the APA rules for formatting, quoting,
paraphrasing, citing, and listing of sources are to be followed.
A document titled “APA Guidelines Summary” is available
for you to download from the APA Guide Link, found in the
Learning Resources area of the myCSU Student Portal. It may
also be accessed from the Student Resources link on the Course
Menu. This document provides links to several internet
sites that provide comprehensive information on APA
formatting, including examples and sample papers.
CSU Grading Rubric for Papers/Projects
The course papers will be graded based on the CSU Grading
Rubric for all types of papers, unless otherwise specified
within assignment instructions. In addition, all papers will be
submitted for electronic evaluation to rule out plagiarism.
Course projects will contain project specific grading criteria
defined in the project directions. To view the rubric, click the
Academic Policies link on the Course Menu, or access it
