Book excerpt: This new Chromium (VI) Directive addresses enforcement procedures for the new Chromium (VI) standards published in the Federal Register (FR) on February 28, 2006. On that date, OSHA issued three standards for hexavalent chromium (also written as chromium (VI) and abbreviated as Cr(VI)), adding three new sections to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as Sections 29 CFR 1910.1026, 29 CFR 1926.1126, and 29 CFR 1915.1026, applicable to general industry, construction, and shipyards, respectively. All three standards were effective May 30, 2006. Employers with 20 or more employees were allowed six months, until a start-up date of November 27, 2006, to come into compliance with most of the provisions of the standards. Employers with 19 or fewer employees were allowed 12 months, until a start-up date of May 30, 2007, to come into compliance with most of the provisions. All employers were allowed four years from the effective date, a deadline of May 31, 2010, to install feasible engineering controls. The general industry standard, 29 CFR 1910.1026, also includes an appended settlement agreement with the Surface Finishing Industry Council (SFIC). This new Directive provides policy and guidance for enforcement of all three Cr(VI) standards, and implementation of these enforcement procedures shall begin on the effective date of this Directive. Special policies are also provided for enforcement until May 31, 2010, when employers must comply with requirements for feasible engineering and work practice controls. The new Cr(VI) standards have lowered the permissible exposure limit (PEL) to 5 g/m3 and established an action level of 2.5 g/m3.

This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, OSHA issued updated standards regulating workplace exposures to hexavalent chromium in general industry, construction, and maritime. This Instruction establishes a National Emphasis Program (NEP) that focuses on the health hazards presented to workers by occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium and a number of other toxic substances often found in conjunction with hexavalent chromium. This Instruction contains directions for identifying and inspecting workplaces where workers are likely to be exposed to hexavalent chromium and the other toxic substances, as well as relevant procedures and plans for compliance assistance. This NEP supersedes all existing Regional and Local Emphasis Programs specifically addressing hexavalent chromium. This Instruction includes the following key elements: Information for selecting sites for inspection, including a list of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes for industries known to have overexposures to hexavalent chromium; Procedures for conducting thorough inspections with an emphasis on industrial hygiene evaluations; Measures to be taken to ensure the safety and health of OSHA compliance staff while conducting inspections under this Instruction; Program evaluation procedures designed to ensure that the goals of this NEP are measured as accurately as possible. The procedures require Area Offices to conduct follow-up inspections in certain cases, including where overexposures to hexavalent chromium or the other toxic substances targeted by this NEP are cited; and, Plans for outreach to train OSHA compliance staff and the general public on the hazards addressed by this NEP, as well as effective methods for abating those hazards.

This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide is intended to help small businesses comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI)) standards. Employees exposed to Cr(VI) are at increased risk of developing serious adverse health effects including lung cancer, asthma and damage to the nasal passages and skin. This guide describes the steps that employers are required to take to protect employees from the hazards associated with exposure to Cr(VI). This publication provides guidance only, and does not alter or determine compliance responsibilities, which are set forth in OSHA standards and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The employer must refer to the appropriate standard to ensure that they are in compliance. Moreover, because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, for additional guidance on OSHA compliance requirements the reader should consult current administrative interpretations and decisions by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the courts.

This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This directive describes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Federal Agency Targeting Inspection Program (FEDTARG) for fiscal year (FY) 2012. It defines key terms, describes the development process of FEDTARG inspection lists, outlines scheduling and inspection procedures for federal establishments, and provides information on inspection coding within the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), and the OSHA Information System (OIS). In addition, the directive raises Regional awareness about the use of federal agency alternate and supplementary standards in developing local emphasis programs. The directive includes two appendices. Appendix A describes the handling of federal establishment participation in the Voluntary Protection Programs and the OSHA Strategic Partnership Program (OSPP), and explains IMIS/ OIS coding terminology. Appendix B provides a reference for the abbreviations, acronyms and symbols used in this directive. Reorganized the directive to more closely follow the inspection process established in the OSHA Field Operations Manual. Added the provision for reviewing applicable federal agency alternate and supplementary standards as part of the preparatory process for an inspection. Added the provision for Regions to develop their own special emphasis programs for federal agencies having alternate and/or supplementary standards. Added the provision for an OSHA area office to request that the federal establishment office processing a special personal security clearance maintain the "unannounced" status of the upcoming inspection, whenever possible. Added a reference to the general duty requirements for federal agencies. Clarified the process of creating a secondary inspection list. Clarified the Area Director's decision-making process to conduct additional inspections at establishments with multiple service/operations and/or office-only operating locations. Defined the terms "alternate standard" and "supplementary standard." Deleted the need to provide the random number originally assigned to a federal establishment when the Region is requesting a secondary inspection list. Provided examples of circumstances when a Regional Administrator may request approval from the Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA to delete establishments from an inspection list.
