Personal injuries – to hands and strains/sprains to back and other areas – account for ongoing costs and lost productivity. These are all too common where people use hand or power tools, assemble, do maintenance, work on machines, lift, load, cut, push, pull, and more. Further, many companies have found that even incorporating good tool and workstation design approaches to reducing these injuries have helped but only to a certain point. And reminders to “pay attention”or “think before you act” is clearly not enough.

The changes to OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), as part of the alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), impact more than 5 million U.S. workplaces, primarily in the areas of SDS formatting, chemical classification, labeling elements and worker training. With HCS continuously landing on OSHA’s most frequently cited standards list and the agency taking a tougher stance on enforcement, compliance with HCS, including understanding the effects of the GHS alignment, is crucial. Receive an overview of HCS and GHS, learn best practices for compliance, and find out how to prepare your organization to reduce costs and streamline compliance with the modified HCS.
McWane, Inc., which operates iron foundries and other manufacturing facilities across the country, had been the very high profile target of an all-out enforcement effort by OSHA. The intense OSHA scrutiny began after the New York Times published a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles about dangerous working conditions and multiple fatalities at two of the Company’s foundries. The articles, and a subsequent television program airing on PBS’s Frontline, emphasized the Company’s poor safety performance and OSHA’s failure to effectively respond. As a result OSHA developed its Enhanced Enforcement Program, with McWane as the ‘charter member’ and the Company embarked on an all-out effort to turn its safety and health program around.
This presentation will discuss how the Company has implemented a start-of-the art EHS Management System, improving its program to the point of now having more than 1/3 of the company’s US facilities recognized as VPP and several facilities OSHAS18001 certified.
