Chair Slide 2 Slide 3 3 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) HazCom Slide 4 4 Silica Silica Proposed Rule Public
Comment is over Standard Finalized approximately 2016 Proposed
Action Level of 30 ug/m3 Proposed PEL of 50 ug/m3 The proposed
standard will likely follow the same formats as other expanded
standards. Slide 5 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 Slide 6 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. Slide 7
Lead 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. Slide 8 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 Slide 9 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. Slide 10 Asbestos Cross
training with EPA. Identifying Health and Safety violations during
EPA investigations EPA Criminal Division training. In buildings
built prior to the 1980s must be considered PACM Slide 11
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 Slide 12 Heat Stress Several
fatalities last year. Water Rest Shade Acclimatization Alternative
work schedules Heat prevention program Training and Competent
Person. 5a1 violations have been issued. Administrative Law Judge
decision pending. Slide 13 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. Slide 14

essentially the same, updates include Training to include label
elements and new safety data sheet format - by December 1, 2013

"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.4,175
These "Fatal Four" were responsible for more than half (54.2%) the
construction worker deaths in 2012*, BLS reports.construction
worker deaths in 2012 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%)
