Hot NEWS:

OSHA is proposing to modify its existing Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform with the United Nations' (UN) Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). OSHA has made a preliminary determination that the proposed modifications will improve the quality and consistency of information provided to employers and employees regarding chemical hazards and associated protective measures. The Agency anticipates this improved information will enhance the effectiveness of the HCS in ensuring that employees are apprised of the chemical hazards to which they may be exposed, and in reducing the incidence of chemical-related occupational illnesses and injuries.

Written comments. Written comments, including comments on the information collection determination described in Section VIII of the preamble (OMB Review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), must be submitted by the following dates:
Hard copy: Comments must be submitted (postmarked or sent) by December 29, 2009.
Facsimile and electronic transmissions: Comments must be sent by December 29, 2009.
Informal public hearings. The Agency will schedule an informal public hearing on the proposed rule. The location and date of the hearing, procedures for interested parties to notify the Agency of their intention to participate, and procedures for participants to submit their testimony and documentary evidence will be announced in the Federal Register.

Hi All! I am looking for assistance in setting up training modules for chemical specific application training for our Chemical Process Workers e.g. Liquid Caustic- the basic physics, DOs and DONTs, etc. I am aware that the Material Safety Data Sheets can be used as the guideline. I do not wish to use consultants. Does anyone have any MODULES already developed? or is there a search engine anyone is aware of?
Thanks
Ashley

Donna - The issue of fall protection in the chemical industry is no different than any other industry. The answers can be found in 29CFR1926.500 Sub M ( construction) and http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/fallprotection/standards.html for the general industry. You can also look into the employer policy. As to line breaking can you give me some idea of the application - hope this helps
