ANSI Z87.1 --2003 Practice for Occupational/
Educational Eye and Face Protection

This revised standard for eye and face protective devices is performance-oriented in intent. Every effort was made to develop requirements that assure the wearer of protection consistent with or better than ANSI Z87.1-1989 (R 1998). The new standard recognizes the Bureau of Labor Statistics study that revealed the need for angular protection in addition to frontal protection. Results of a study by the American Welding Society have been used to update and improve requirements for transmittance of devices intended for protection against optical radiation.

This standard provides minimum safety requirements to be followed while entering, exiting, and working in confined spaces at normal atmospheric pressure, but does not pertain to underground mining, tunneling, caisson work or other similar tasks that have established national consensus standards. This is a performance-oriented standard and, as such, is not intended to replace existing specific standards and procedures. Rather, it is intended to support those that meet the performance objectives defined in this standard. (Two appendices, including logic diagram for determination of confined spaces and references)

ANSI Z244.1 (2003) Control of Hazardous Energy - Lockout/Tagout and Alternative Methods

Cited in OSHA interpretations and private sector materials, the Z244.1 Standard is a significant standard used by many, if not most, SH&E professionals as a resource for addressing control of hazardous energy and lockout/tagout. The scope and purpose of the standard is to establish requirements for the control of hazardous energy associated with machines, equipment, or processes that could cause injury to personnel. The purpose of this standard is to establish requirements and performance objectives for procedures, techniques, designs and methods that protect personnel where injury can occur as a result of the unexpected release of hazardous energy. Unexpected release of hazardous energy can include any unintended motion, energization, start-up or release of stored energy, deliberate or otherwise, from the perspective of the person(s) at risk.

  ASSE’s Safety and Health Program for Small Businesses

Denis Zeimet, Ph.D., CIH, and David Ballard

This manual is designed to help small businesses reduce occupational injuries and illness through the establishment of an effective safety and health program. Written in a user-friendly format, it is designed to be informational rather than procedural. The use of jargon and technical language is held to a minimum. ASSE’s program is meant to be used along with established policies, procedures, and work practices. Safety and Health Program for Small Businesses contains sixteen sections that address safety and health-related issues such as hazard communication, control of hazardous energy sources, and permit-required confined spaces. Each section contains tables, forms, and references to help the employer customize the manual according to specific workplace hazards and local requirements.

“We have decided to use this manual as a reference for all state departments within the State of Iowa. We feel this manual is a strong ‘refresher’ for our larger departments with sound safety systems in place, as well as ‘the backbone’ for other departments that would only require the basic safety applications.”—Barry Best, Safety Officer, Iowa Department of Personnel.

New Items Include:

• How range-limiting devices can help crane operators avoid powerline contacts.
• How load moment indicators (LMIs) can reduce the occurrence of crane upset
  from overloads.
• How some rough-terrain mobile hydraulic cranes, logging tongs and flatbed trucks
  that have hydraulic cranes mounted on them can contribute to upsets due to overloads.
• How the use of CAD software can make lift simulations easier and less hazardous.
• How technology (such as infrared detectors and closed circuit TV) can prevent injury
  from pinch points and nip points.
• How the active participation of top management can prevent accident, injuries and
  fatalities by ensuring crane safety.

Developing an Effective Safety Culture: A Leadership Approach

James Roughton, CSP, and James Mercurio, CSP

This book presents the philosophy that working safely is a cultural issue: An effective safety culture will eventually lead to the desired goal of zero accidents in the workplace. Developing an Effective Safety Culture provides an understanding of what is needed to reach this goal. The authors tell how to build a safety management system and ultimately develop a safety program that fits the culture.

The book moves first through understanding the cost of incidents, then to perspectives and descriptions of management systems, management leadership traits, establishing and evaluating goals and objectives, providing visible leadership, and assigning required responsibilities. Valuable case studies, from the authors' own experience, are used to demonstrate the concepts presented.

Excavation Safety: A guide to OSHA compliance and injury prevention

Carl O. Morgan

Addressing the most common causes of excavation, trenching, and shoring violations, Excavation Safety provides the insight you need to ensure compliance and protect workers' lives and company investments. This book presents step-by-step methods for restricting workers from hazardous areas, providing egress from excavations, protecting workers from materials and equipment, selecting competent people to perform self-inspections, and ensuring a protection system is in place.

The first part of the book explains the hazards of the excavation site and the need for safe work practices. The second part contains all relevant OSHA standards along with extensive notes, annotations, and comments. You will learn which actions should be taken at each site to prevent serious injury, work delays, and other costs. You will also examine pre-site considerations, such as educating workers about unmarked, undetected underground utility lines; identifying employer responsibilities; and establishing a training program.

Each chapter includes a content summary for quick reference, and case studies provide examples of common excavation errors and the required corrective actions. The book also includes forms and resources that can be used for training and on-site inspections, the One-Call Systems International Directory/Excavator's Damage Prevention Guide, and a glossary.
