Safety Never Rests: Is Your LO/TO Program Still Effective?

Tuesday, January 18, 2011 by Tom Anderson
If your facility is performing maintenance on machines, you should have a lockout / tagout (LO/TO) program in place. Part of the requirement of having a properly developed program is to do an annual review of the program. Since many injuries are a result of not having an effective LO/TO program, take a hard look to ensure that you have an effective program that protects your employees. Call Tom Anderson  (317.916.3105) if you need a safety specialist to help out.

Upcoming Webinar on Managing Investigation Derived Waste

Wednesday, January 12, 2011 by Marketing Department
One of the most often overlooked regulatory issues resulting from subsurface investigation activities is the management of investigation derived waste (IDW). Disposal of IDW is an issue needing to be carefully evaluated at every site, as it has the potential to turn an unknowing property owner into a hazardous waste generator, opening the door to potential liability.

Exit Routes

Monday, January 3, 2011 by Health and Safety Account Team
Think about if a emergency or fire happened at your facility, can the employees safely exit the facility? It is a requirement of the regulatory standards to provide safe exits. General Industry standard 29 CFR 1910.37(a)(3) states: "Exit routes must be free and unobstructed. No materials or equipment may be placed, either permanently or temporarily, within the exit route. The exit access must not go through a room that can be locked, such as a bathroom, to reach an exit or exit discharge, nor...

Preparing for a Safety Audit

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 by Health and Safety Account Team

In preparing for an audit, you must first select the members of the audit team. Having people on the team that are experts with the OSHA regulations should quickly narrow down the logical choices. This is another reason to consider outside resources since many companies do not have personnel that focus solely on this area of expertise. You can include non-experts on the audit team to add another perspective. This member should be provided with the goal of the audit and be inherently inquisitive...

Tuesday, December 7, 2010 by Health and Safety Account Team

When was the last time you had a safety audit to verify your facility’s compliance with all the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements?
