Health Update For Construction • • Silica – Proposed Rule Portland Cement Noise Lead Cadmium Arsenic Carbon Monoxide – LEP • • Asbestos Isocyanates – LEP Heat Stress Citations for 1926. 20(b)(2) • Haz. Com 3

Silica • Silica Proposed Rule – Public Comment is over • Standard Finalized approximately 2016 – Proposed Action Level of 30 ug/m 3 – Proposed PEL of 50 ug/m 3 – The proposed standard will likely follow the same formats as other expanded standards. 4

Portland Cement • Chemical Burn • Neutralizing agent for burn • Most employees have not been trained about the chemical burns • PPE required – skin protection • PEL 50 mppcf

Noise • Noise in construction – No action level – PEL 90 dba. • Hearing protection is required. • Region 5 is considering a LEP for noise in construction • Annual audiograms will be enforced for long term employees.

• NEP – Lead – Inspections are being initiated whenever an employee is potentially exposed to lead. – EPA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission does have safe limits for lead in materials. • OSHA has no safe limit for lead for % lead found in materials. • OSHA will not accept Objective or Historical data if it is not same or similar condition.

Cadmium and Arsenic • Old paints have cadmium and arsenic • These are expanded standards and employers need to determine if the coated structures they are working on have these chemical. Competent person must determine if it is present. – Bulk sampling – Wipe sampling

Carbon Monoxide • Illinois and Wisconsin have an LEP on Carbon Monoxide. • Keep all generators outside of the building and out of confined areas. • Area monitoring not accepted personal monitoring required.

Asbestos • Cross training with EPA. – Identifying Health and Safety violations during EPA investigations • EPA Criminal Division training. • In buildings built prior to the 1980’s must be considered PACM

Isocyanates • Isocyanates – NEP – Industries mostly affected are • • Painting and Wall covering contractors Drywall and Insulation Contractors Flooring Contractors Glass and Glazing Contractors – Employer needs to conduct a medical evaluation of employees prior to working with chemicals containing Isocyanates

Heat Stress • Several fatalities last year. – Water Rest Shade – Acclimatization – Alternative work schedules – Heat prevention program – Training and Competent Person. • 5 a 1 violations have been issued. Administrative Law Judge decision pending.

Citations for 1926. 20(b)(2) • CSHOs may cite employers for failure to conduct and adequate workplace hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1926. 20(b)(2). The OSHRC has upheld a violation of this standard, when an employer has failed to conduct air sampling as part of competent persons inspection.

Haz. Com • Employee Information and Training • Although this paragraph remains essentially the same, updates include – Training to include label elements and new safety data sheet format - by December 1, 2013 – Training to reflect any new hazards identified in the workplace - by June 1, 2016

Construction's "Fatal Four“ Out of 4, 175* worker fatalities in private industry in calendar year 2012, 806 or 19. 3% were in construction. The leading causes of worker deaths on construction sites were falls, followed by struck by object, electrocution, and caught-in/between. These "Fatal Four" were responsible for more than half (54. 2%) the construction worker deaths in 2012*, BLS reports. Eliminating the Fatal Four would save 437 workers' lives in America every year. • Falls – 279 out of 806 total deaths in construction in CY 2012 (34. 6%) • Struck by Object – 79 (9. 8%) • Electrocutions – 66 (8. 1%) • Caught-in/between – 13 (1. 6%) https: //www. osha. gov/oshstats/commonstats. html
