This document provides a summary of the history and development of workplace safety in the United States. It describes how common law in the 1800s placed the burden of proof on injured workers. Early safety laws in the late 1800s focused on guarding machinery and mine safety. The first workers' compensation laws began in the early 1900s. Major events like the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in 1911 and Cherry Coal Mine disaster in 1909 increased calls for safety reforms. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 established OSHA to enforce safety standards and protect workers' rights. Over time OSHA has developed additional regulations and standards on hazards like silica, asbestos, lockout/tagout and more.
1926 power transmission fall issues 2014
The document summarizes power transmission safety issues and standards. It discusses the evolution of equipment used by linemen from step bolts to body harnesses and fall protection gear. Key changes in ANSI standards increased requirements for snap hooks, lanyards, retractable lifelines, work positioning, descent control, and rescue. Case studies describe incidents where falls resulted in serious injuries and a boom collapse that killed two workers. The importance of training, inspections, fall clearance, and rescue planning for aerial lifts is emphasized.
Scaffold safety email
This document provides information on scaffold safety hazards and requirements. It describes several scaffolding accidents that resulted in injuries from collapses or falls. Common scaffold hazards included lack of guardrails, defective planks, unsafe access, and inadequate bracing or footings. General requirements covered include following manufacturer instructions, having platforms at least 18 inches wide, securing planks, providing fall protection over 10 feet, and ensuring structures can support at least 4 times the intended load. Proper training, inspection, and fall protection were emphasized.
Welding Safety 2014
This document discusses welding safety hazards and regulations. It begins by describing past welding incidents that resulted in injuries or fatalities. Some key risks mentioned include falls, electrical hazards, fires, confined space hazards, and exposure to toxic fumes and gases. The document then outlines OSHA regulations on compressed gas cylinder safety, personal protective equipment, and controlling hazards like lead, hexavalent chromium, and heat exposure during welding operations. Protecting workers from these risks requires following safety protocols for cylinder handling and storage, electrical safety, housekeeping, ventilation, and use of proper protective equipment.
Ladder safety
Over 1000 ladder-related deaths have occurred since 2000 according to OSHA statistics. The three largest risks when using ladders are falls, electrocutions from power lines, and ladders becoming unsecured. Proper planning and training can prevent these accidents. Employers must provide ladder safety training and ensure ladders are properly secured, maintained, and not overloaded before use.
