October 16, 2009, Newsletter Issue #188: Splitting Hairs On Safety Gear


1

Tip of the Week

OSHA and other regulatory bodies have many requirements for safety gear on specific pieces of equipment. While some laws mention this material handling equipment by name, often the rule of law applies to the type of work being done rather than the specific make and model of equipment named in the regulations. It's best to install all required safety features in compliance with the spirit of the regulation. OSHA's safety guidelines are subject to interpretation by lawmakers, especially in cases where there is no measurable risk to omit some kinds of safety gear. However, this is strictly up to OSHA officials to decide. You may still be cited for a violation of OSHA regs if you are found to be in willful non-compliance with the law. By deciding yourself which regs to comply with, you put your material handling operation in danger of being called on the carpet for violation of safety rules. Contact OSHA to address specific issues related to your needs.
