This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Small Entity Compliance Guide (SECG), OSHA 3384-09 - Small Entity Compliance Guide for the Respiratory Protection Standard, is intended to help small businesses comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Respiratory Protection standard (63 FR 1152; January 8, 1998). While the guide is for small entities, the guide itself is not small. OSHA's goal for this document is to provide small entities with a comprehensive step-by-step guide complete with checklists and commonly asked questions that will aid both employees and employers in small businesses with a better understanding of OSHA's respiratory protection standard. The reader should be advised that OSHA also has other shorter documents and visual aids that may be used to better understand respiratory protection and the OSHA standard itself. IF the employees of a small business are only exposed to nuisance dusts and relatively non-toxic chemicals and use only a few types of relatively simple respirators, knowledge of the guide and materials supplied by the respirator manufacturer may be sufficient for the small business owner or an employee to become qualified as a program administrator. IF more dangerous chemical or high exposures are present, or sophisticated respirators are used, the program administrator must have more knowledge or experience. In these circumstances, it may be necessary for the administrator to seek out the expertise needed or to obtain appropriate training. You should read this guide if it is likely that you will need to establish and implement a respiratory protection program for your business. This guide is intended to assist program administrators, employers who need to develop a program, employees who may be required to wear respirators, and licensed medical professional who must evaluate an employee's ability to war respirators, among others.

OSHA's original Respiratory Protection standard was adopted in 1971 from an existing American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard. On October 5, 1998, OSHA issued a revised standard that updated and replaced that 1971 standard. The revised 1998 Respiratory Protection standard also included a new provision that allowed the development of new fit tests. In compliance with this provision, OSHA approved and adopted an additional quantitative fit testing protocol, the controlled negative pressure (CNP) REDON fit testing protocol, in 2004. In August 2006, OSHA again revised the standard by adding definitions for APF and MUC and a table of APF values. This guide provides a discussion of these APF provisions and their role in the overall Respiratory Protection standard.

Download or read book Regulatory reform compliance guide requirement has had little effect on agency practices written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 212 does not appear to have had much of an impact in the agencies and years that we examined, and its implementation has varied across and sometimes within the agencies. The statute gives agencies broad discretion to decide which of their rules require compliance guides, what has to be in the guides, how they are developed, when they have to be published, and how they are distributed to affected small entities. Using that discretion, an agency could legally exclude all of its rules from coverage by the statute, designate a previously published document as its small entity compliance guide, or develop and publish a guide with no input from small entities years after the covered rule takes effect. Some of the ineffectiveness and inconsistency in the implementation of section 212 are traceable to the broad discretion provided to agencies in the RFA regarding the term significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although a single, rigid definition of this term may not be feasible, we believe that some additional clarity can be provided. Other problems with the compliance guide requirement are traceable to section 212 itself. We offer suggestions on how Congress may wish to amend the statute to make clear when agencies must prepare a compliance guide under section 212 and the meaning of key terms in the statute.

This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide, OSHA 3433-05, Small Entity Compliance Guide for the Final Rule for Cranes and Derricks in Construction, is intended to help small businesses comply with OSHA's standard for Cranes and Derricks in Construction. It is designed to address the most common compliance issues that employers will face and to provide sufficient detail to serve as a useful compliance guide. It does not, however, describe all provisions of the standard or alter the compliance responsibilities set forth in the standard, which is published at 29 CFR 1926.1400 - 1442. The reader must refer to the standard itself, which is available on OSHA's website and in the Federal Register and will be published in the Code of Federal Regulations, to determine all of the steps that must be taken to comply with the standard. In addition to this guide, other information that will be helpful in complying with the standard can be found on OSHA's website. If you are seeking advice about complying with the standard, OSHA's On-site Consultation Program offers free and confidential advice to small and medium-sized businesses in all states across the country, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. On-site Consultation services are separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or citations. Consultants from state agencies and universities work with employers to identify workplace hazards, provide advice on compliance with OSHA standards, and help establish safety and health management systems. To find the OSHA On-site Consultation Program office nearest you, go to: https: //www.osha.gov/dcsp/smallbusiness/consult_directory.html. In 21 states and one territory, occupational safety and health standards are enforced by the state agency responsible for the OSHA-approved state plan. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming. New York, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and the Virgin Islands also operate OSHA-approved state plans limited in scope to state and local government employees. States operating OSHA-approved state plans must adopt and enforce standards that are either identical to or at least as effective as federal standards. Therefore, these states must adopt a standard for cranes and derricks in construction that is at least as effective as OSHA's standard and must extend that protection to state and local government employees. If you are operating a small business in one of the above-listed states or territories, you must determine whether requirements in addition to those in the OSHA standard apply. Employers who use cranes and derricks in construction work must comply with the standard. In addition, other employers on construction sites where cranes and derricks are used are responsible for violations that expose their employees to hazards and, therefore, need to know the requirements of the standard that may affect their employees. Crane lessors who provide operators and/or maintenance personnel with the equipment also have duties under the standard. See the section of this guide entitled "Employer Responsibilities" for additional information on the compliance responsibilities of different employers. Employers who have compliance responsibilities under the standard should read this guide. In addition, crane operators and other workers who work with or near cranes on construction sites can find information in this guide that will make them aware of the hazards that cranes present to them and their coworkers and the steps that employers must take to protect against those hazards.

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.
