    In the plan, OSHA targeted specific industries with specific reduction quotas concerning workplace fatalities, injuries and illnesses. In order to affect change within these industries, OSHA established new enforcement concepts that included “follow-up inspections, programmed inspections, improvement of case settlement process, corporate notification of significant enforcement process, and incorporation of the federal court enforcement process allowed under the OSHA Act of 1970” (National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety…

    OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) officially formed on April 28, 1971, the date that the OSH Act became effective. George Guenther was appointed as the agency's first director. OSHA has developed a number of training, compliance assistance, and health and safety recognition programs throughout its history. The OSHA Training Institute, which trains government and private sector health and safety personnel, began in 1972. In 1978, the agency began a grant making program, now called the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, to train workers and employers in reducing workplace hazards. OSHA started the Voluntary Protection Programs in 1982, which allows employers to apply as "model workplaces" to achieve special designation if they meet certain requirements. The Occupational Safety and Health Act allows OSHA to issue workplace health and safety regulations. These regulations include limits on chemical exposure, employee access to information, requirements for the use of personal protective equipment, and requirements for safety procedures. In its first year of operation, OSHA was permitted to adopt regulations based on guidelines set by certain standards organizations, such as the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, without going through all of the requirements of a typical rulemaking. In 2000, OSHA issued an ergonomics standard. In March 2001, the Republican-controlled Congress voted to repeal the standard through the Congressional Review Act. The repeal, one of the first major pieces of legislation signed by President George W. Bush, is the only instance that Congress has successfully used the Congressional Review Act to block a regulation. Between 2001 and 2011, OSHA has issued just four new health and safety standards; during this period, the agency has promulgated regulations at a far slower rate than during any other decade in the agency's history.…

    Falls in Construction

    • 7 Pages

    It is a known fact that falling is the leading cause of death in the construction industry. According to OSHA’s statistics for the year 2011, 251 out of 721 total deaths in construction were due to falls. Over the last decade, OSHA has updated and revised many standards for the construction industry that have been effective in reducing the total number of fatalities. Although the total number of deaths has decreased, the percentage of those deaths from falls has remained fairly constant. Employer noncompliance with OSHA standards, inadequate financial support for personal protection equipment, and the need for better planning and training are all contributing factors to the persistent problem of fall related deaths in construction.…

    When people go to work the one thing they should be able to count on is safety, which is exactly what the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), was created to do. You do not expect to be injured in your place of employment, but the one hundred and forty six women working for the Triangle Waist Company unfortunately were killed in a fire that should never have happened. The debate still stands today as to whether or not OSHA is truly effective. OSHA regulations have helped decrease the number of deaths, injuries and illnesses of employees dramatically. In my opinion, OSHA is a necessity in the workplace.…

    Just imagine working in an environment where there are very few safety regulations, and little safety equipment. Think of how it was for employees of a steel manufacturing plant to work where there are almost no safety regulations and safety hazards all around you. This is how the work environment was before 1970; there were only few laws or regulations that required employers to maintain certain safety standards or working conditions for employees. However in 1970 President Richard Nixon sought to change all of this by signing into law the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).…

    Traditionally, cost, quality and time have constituted the parameters within with projects have been managed (John Smallwood & Theo Haupt, 2005). Although some speakers were quite vociferous about attributing onsite H&S deficiencies to design failings – with designers arguing that most construction accidents, when properly investigated, were not caused by design decisions, the presentations also demonstrated significant progress in improving standards in the industry although it is recognized there is still much to do in implementing occupational ill health schemes (Tony Baker, 2007). As we Endeavour to improve workplace safety, most of the focus in organizations today is on improvements in areas such as equipment, policies, system and training. The question is therefore, how we can continue to drive improvements in our aim for the holy grail of ‘zero accidents’ in quantity surveyor perceptions? (Richard Pound, 2011). One solution that can improve the OSH effectiveness in construction site is through sufficient allocation and provision of OSH specification in all stages stipulated in the contract document (Tony Baker, 2007).…
