    protecting worker safety
  • 00:00:56
    and health the u.s congress created osha
  • 00:01:00
    under the occupational safety and health
  • 00:01:02
    act of 1970
  • 00:01:04
    the osh act congress passed this law and
  • 00:01:07
    established osha
  • 00:01:09
    to assure so far as possible every
  • 00:01:11
    working man
  • 00:01:12

    helpful working conditions
  • 00:01:16
    and to preserve our human resources
  • 00:01:20
    osha was created because until 1970
  • 00:01:24
    there were no national laws protecting
  • 00:01:26
    employees from safety
  • 00:01:27
    and health hazards with the creation of
  • 00:01:30
    osha
  • 00:01:31
    for the first time all employers in the
  • 00:01:33
    united states
  • 00:01:34
    had the legal responsibility to provide
  • 00:01:36
    a safe and healthy workplace for their
  • 00:01:38
    employees
  • 00:01:40
    employers and workers in many fields are
  • 00:01:43
    covered by the act

    non-religious purposes
  • 00:01:59
    such as maintenance or gardening
  • 00:02:02
    osha's mission is to save lives prevent
  • 00:02:05
    injuries and protect the health of
  • 00:02:07
    america's workers

    some of the things that osha does to
  • 00:02:12
    carry out this mission include
  • 00:02:14
    developing job safety and health
  • 00:02:16
    standards and enforcing them through

    federal osha also helps to ensure safe
  • 00:02:36
    and healthy working conditions
  • 00:02:37
    by assisting with job safety and health
  • 00:02:40
    programs that are operated by
  • 00:02:42
    individual states
  • 00:02:55
    the osh act gives you many rights
  • 00:02:57
    related to your safety and health on the
  • 00:02:59

    right to know about hazardous chemicals
  • 00:03:18
    you may work with the right to be
  • 00:03:20
    trained on how to deal with safety and
  • 00:03:22
    health hazards
  • 00:03:24
    you also have the right to file a

    not be retaliated against for exercising
  • 00:03:34
    your safety and health rights
  • 00:03:37
    the broadest and most important of these
  • 00:03:39
    rights is the right to a
  • 00:03:41
    safe and healthy workplace
  • 00:03:44
    a safe and healthy workplace means that
  • 00:03:46
    hazards are removed from it
  • 00:03:48
    and workers are trained on how to work
  • 00:03:50
    safely if a hazard cannot be removed
  • 00:03:53
    completely
  • 00:03:54
    protection from that hazard must be
  • 00:03:56
    provided
  • 00:03:59
    another important right workers have
  • 00:04:01
    under osha is the right to know about
  • 00:04:04
    any hazardous chemicals in their
  • 00:04:05
    workplaces
  • 00:04:07
    employers must have a comprehensive
  • 00:04:09
    written hazard communication program
  • 00:04:11
    that includes information on container

  • 00:04:23
    the hazards that the chemicals present
  • 00:04:25
    and how workers can protect themselves
  • 00:04:27
    from them
  • 00:04:29
    the hazard communication program must
  • 00:04:31
    also include a list
  • 00:04:33
    of the hazardous chemicals in each work
  • 00:04:35
    area
  • 00:04:37
    osha's record-keeping rule requires most
  • 00:04:40
    employers with more than 10 workers
  • 00:04:42
    to keep a log of all work-related
  • 00:04:44
    injuries and illnesses
  • 00:04:46
    that result in an employee being away
  • 00:04:48
    from work

    restricted as to the type of work they
  • 00:04:51
    can do or
  • 00:04:53
    transferred to another job the log must
  • 00:04:56
    also document
  • 00:04:57
    any incident where the victim requires
  • 00:04:59
    more than simple first aid
  • 00:05:02
    another right that workers have under
  • 00:05:04
    the oshac is to be able to discuss
  • 00:05:06
    safety and health concerns in the
  • 00:05:08
    workplace with their employers
  • 00:05:10
    without the fear of being discharged or
  • 00:05:13
    discriminated against
  • 00:05:14
    the act specifically protects workers
  • 00:05:17
    who complain to their employer
  • 00:05:18
    about unsafe or unhealthy conditions
  • 00:05:22
    the osh act also gives you the right to
  • 00:05:24
    receive training from your employer
  • 00:05:26
    on a variety of health and safety
  • 00:05:28
    hazards as well as on the osha standards

    exists in your workplace
  • 00:06:04
    osha has the authority to conduct a

    if any hazardous conditions exist or
  • 00:06:11
    standards have been violated
  • 00:06:13
    if they conduct an inspection in your

  • 00:06:44
    employer is taking to abate any hazards
  • 00:06:47
    as well as to participate in any
  • 00:06:49
    meetings or hearings related to the
  • 00:06:54
    [Music]
  • 00:07:00
    inspection
  • 00:07:03
    establishing a safe and healthy
  • 00:07:05
    workplace requires every employer to
  • 00:07:07
    make safety and health a priority
  • 00:07:10
    osha requires employers to do a number
  • 00:07:13
    of things to accomplish this
  • 00:07:15
    to start employers need to be familiar
  • 00:07:18
    with the osha standards that apply
  • 00:07:20
    to their workplaces and comply with them
  • 00:07:23
    when no specific standards apply
  • 00:07:26
    employers must still comply with the osh
  • 00:07:29
    acts
  • 00:07:29
    general duty clause this requires them
  • 00:07:32
    to
  • 00:07:33
    furnish a place of employment which is
  • 00:07:35
    free from recognized hazards
  • 00:07:37
    that are causing or likely to cause
  • 00:07:39
    death or serious physical harm to
  • 00:07:42
    employees
  • 00:07:44
    this begins by implementing safety
  • 00:07:46
    policies and procedures
  • 00:07:47
    called administrative controls in their
  • 00:07:50
    facilities
  • 00:07:52
    next engineering controls are used to
  • 00:07:55
    build physical safety measures
  • 00:07:57
    into the workplace and even the job
  • 00:07:59
    itself
  • 00:08:00
    to eliminate hazards or reduce exposure
  • 00:08:03
    to them as much as possible
  • 00:08:06
    when engineering and administrative
  • 00:08:07
    controls can't reduce employees exposure
  • 00:08:10
    to hazards to acceptable levels
  • 00:08:12
    osha requires employers to provide their
  • 00:08:15
    employees
  • 00:08:16
    with appropriate personal protective
  • 00:08:18
    equipment ppe
  • 00:08:21
    when ppe needs to be used the employer
  • 00:08:23
    must implement a personal protective
  • 00:08:26
    equipment program
  • 00:08:27
    that addresses the hazards that are
  • 00:08:29
    present in each work area
  • 00:08:31
    the selection maintenance and use of ppe
  • 00:08:35
    employee training in the use of their
  • 00:08:37
    ppe
  • 00:08:38
    and how the program will be monitored to
  • 00:08:40
    ensure its ongoing effectiveness
  • 00:08:44
    osha believes that training is an
  • 00:08:47
    essential part of protecting workers
  • 00:08:49
    from injuries and illnesses
  • 00:08:51
    so osha standards make it the employer's
  • 00:08:53
    responsibility
  • 00:08:55
    to limit certain job assignments to
  • 00:08:57
    employees who are certified
  • 00:08:59
    competent or qualified meaning that they
  • 00:09:01
    have received thorough training for
  • 00:09:03
    those tasks
  • 00:09:07
    keeping is another important employer
  • 00:09:09
    responsibility
  • 00:09:10
    injury and illness records allow osha to
  • 00:09:12
    collect survey material
  • 00:09:14
    identify high hazard industries and
  • 00:09:17
    inform you
  • 00:09:18
    and other workers about the injuries and
  • 00:09:20
    illnesses that occur in your workplace
  • 00:09:24
    employers must set up an injury and
  • 00:09:26
    illness reporting system within their
  • 00:09:28
    facility
  • 00:09:30
    report any accident that results in a
  • 00:09:32
    fatality to osha within eight hours of
  • 00:09:34
    when it happens
  • 00:09:36
    report any accident resulting in
  • 00:09:38
    inpatient hospitalization
  • 00:09:41
    amputation or loss of an eye to osha
  • 00:09:44
    within 24 hours of the event post copies
  • 00:09:47
    of the required annual summary of
  • 00:09:49
    work-related injuries and illnesses in
  • 00:09:51
    their facility
  • 00:09:53
    and provide copies of injury and illness
  • 00:09:55
    logs to workers upon request
  • 00:09:58
    [Music]
  • 00:09:59
    additionally employers must inform
  • 00:10:01
    workers about how to report an
  • 00:10:03
    injury or illness as well as give osha
  • 00:10:06
    access to all injury and illness records
  • 00:10:10
    when you're handling chemicals or other
  • 00:10:12
    hazardous substances
  • 00:10:14
    your employer may be required to conduct
  • 00:10:16
    exposure monitoring
  • 00:10:18
    or provide medical examinations for you
  • 00:10:21
    your employer must also give you copies
  • 00:10:23
    of your medical or exposure records if
  • 00:10:25
    you request them
  • 00:10:27
    the osh act provides workers with other
  • 00:10:30
    types of protections as well
  • 00:10:32
    and prohibits your employer from
  • 00:10:34
    discharging retaliating
  • 00:10:36
    or discriminating against you or any
  • 00:10:38
    other worker for exercising your rights
  • 00:10:41
    under the act depending on the
  • 00:10:43
    circumstances
  • 00:10:44
    this can include being fired laid off
  • 00:10:47
    demoted or disciplined being denied
  • 00:10:50
    overtime or a promotion
  • 00:10:52
    having your number of work hours or pay
  • 00:10:54
    reduced
  • 00:10:55
    or other similar actions
  • 00:10:58
    employers must post a copy of any
  • 00:11:00
    citation that they receive
  • 00:11:02
    as a result of an osha inspection since
  • 00:11:05
    the citation informs both the employer
  • 00:11:07
    and workers of
  • 00:11:08
    the standards that osha says have been
  • 00:11:10
    violated

    the length of time that the employer has
  • 00:11:13
    to correct the violations
  • 00:11:15
    and any proposed penalties that are
  • 00:11:17
    attached to the violations
  • 00:11:20
    having access to this information can
  • 00:11:22
    provide protection for you as well
  • 00:11:26
    as we discussed earlier another form of
  • 00:11:29
    protection that osha provides
  • 00:11:31
    is to require the use of personal
  • 00:11:33
    protective equipment
  • 00:11:34
    when other controls cannot bring
  • 00:11:36
    exposures to workplace hazards down
  • 00:11:38
    to acceptable levels it's the employer's
  • 00:11:42
    responsibility
  • 00:11:43
    to determine if and when ppe should be
  • 00:11:46
    used
  • 00:11:47
    osha also requires that employers pay
  • 00:11:50
    for
  • 00:11:50
    most required ppe
  • 00:11:57
    [Music]
  • 00:12:04
    as we've mentioned the osh act
  • 00:12:06
    authorizes osha compliance safety and
  • 00:12:08
    health officers cshos
  • 00:12:11
    to conduct workplace inspections to
  • 00:12:14
    determine if workers can perform their
  • 00:12:15
    jobs in a safe and healthy way
  • 00:12:19
    since osha can't inspect all of the 8
  • 00:12:21
    million work sites that they're
  • 00:12:22
    responsible for
  • 00:12:24
    the agency has a system of inspection
  • 00:12:26
    priorities that includes
  • 00:12:28
    imminent danger situations situations
  • 00:12:31
    where fatalities or catastrophes have
  • 00:12:33
    occurred
  • 00:12:34
    complaints and referrals and regularly
  • 00:12:37
    scheduled programmed inspections
  • 00:12:39
    that address targeted hazards there are
  • 00:12:42
    four
  • 00:12:43
    major stages in an osha inspection
  • 00:12:45
    presenting credentials
  • 00:12:47
    the opening conference the walk around
  • 00:12:50
    and the closing conference
  • 00:12:54
    when they arrive at a workplace to do an
  • 00:12:56
    inspection the inspector first presents
  • 00:12:58
    their credentials to the person in
  • 00:13:00
    charge
  • 00:13:01
    then comes the opening conference which
  • 00:13:04
    will usually be brief
  • 00:13:05
    the inspector will explain why osha has
  • 00:13:08
    selected that particular work site for
  • 00:13:10
    inspection
  • 00:13:11
    obtain information about the company
  • 00:13:13
    including copies of all hazard
  • 00:13:15
    assessments
  • 00:13:16
    and explain the scope of the inspection
  • 00:13:19
    as well as the procedures that will be
  • 00:13:20
    followed
  • 00:13:23
    the inspector along with the employer
  • 00:13:25
    and worker representatives
  • 00:13:27
    will then proceed through the workplace
  • 00:13:29
    looking at work areas to determine if
  • 00:13:31
    there are any potentially hazardous
  • 00:13:33
    conditions
  • 00:13:36
    the inspector will also check the
  • 00:13:38
    facility's injury and
  • 00:13:39
    illness records make sure that the
  • 00:13:41
    required osha poster is displayed
  • 00:13:44
    and verify that the company's summary of
  • 00:13:46
    work injuries and illnesses
  • 00:13:48
    is posted from february 1st to april
  • 00:13:51
    30th each year
  • 00:13:53
    the inspector may also interview workers
  • 00:13:56
    take photographs or video
  • 00:13:57
    and monitor worker exposure to noise air
  • 00:14:00
    contaminants
  • 00:14:01
    or other substances after the walk
  • 00:14:05
    around
  • 00:14:05
    the inspector will hold a closing
  • 00:14:07
    conference with the employer and worker
  • 00:14:09
    representatives
  • 00:14:11
    they will discuss any apparent
  • 00:14:12
    violations that they have observed
  • 00:14:15
    and how and when these violations should
  • 00:14:17
    be corrected
  • 00:14:18
    the employer will be informed of their
  • 00:14:20
    rights and responsibilities
  • 00:14:21
    regarding the inspection as well
  • 00:14:25
    once they're back in their office the
  • 00:14:27
    inspector will write up a report of
  • 00:14:29
    their findings
  • 00:14:30
    the osha area director will then review
  • 00:14:32
    the report and make a final
  • 00:14:34
    determination
  • 00:14:35
    as to what citations and penalties
  • 00:14:37
    should be imposed if any
  • 00:14:41
    citations inform employers and employees
  • 00:14:43
    about
  • 00:14:44
    what violations exist and what osha
  • 00:14:47
    standards are involved
  • 00:14:49
    what hazardous working conditions have
  • 00:14:51
    been found
  • 00:14:52
    how long the employer has to correct or
  • 00:14:54
    abate the hazards
  • 00:14:56
    and explain any proposed penalties
  • 00:15:00
    penalties are based on the type of
  • 00:15:01
    violation that has occurred
  • 00:15:04
    osha violations fall into six categories
  • 00:15:07
    including repeated willful serious
  • 00:15:11
    other than serious and de minimis
  • 00:15:14
    de minimis is the least serious type of
  • 00:15:16
    infraction
  • 00:15:17
    and basically means a trifling matter
  • 00:15:21
    employers and workers both have the
  • 00:15:24
    right to disagree with
  • 00:15:25
    or appeal parts of an osha citation
  • 00:15:29
    workers may contest the length of time
  • 00:15:31
    that has been given to the employer to a
  • 00:15:33
    beta violation
  • 00:15:34
    but they cannot contest the citations or
  • 00:15:36
    penalties themselves
  • 00:15:39
    if an employer decides to contest a
  • 00:15:41
    citation
  • 00:15:42
    the abatement date or the proposed
  • 00:15:44
    penalty this must be done in writing
  • 00:15:47
    within a 15 working day contest period
