New Penalty System
New Walking-Working Surfaces and PPE (Fall Protection) Rule
Effective date: This final rule became effective on January 17, 2017
General Industry 29 CFR Part 1910 subparts D and I
Purpose of the New Rule
• To update the outdated subpart D standard, incorporating new technology and industry practices
• To increase consistency with OSHA’s construction standards (CFR 1926 subparts L, M, and X)
• To add new provisions to subpart I that set forth criteria requirements for personal fall protection equipment
Who is Affected?
• OSHA estimates 6.9 million general industry establishments employing 112.3 million workers will be affected
Benefits • According to BLS data, slips, trips, and falls are
a leading cause of workplace fatalities and injuries in general industry
• OSHA estimates the new rule will prevent 29 fatalities and 5,842 injuries annually
• Net benefits - $309.5 million/year (Monetized benefits – annual costs)
The Most Serious Workplace Injuries Cost U.S. Companies $59.9 Billion Per Year, According to 2017 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index
The top three causes – which collectively represent almost half of the cost of the leading accidents – are overexertion ($13.8 billion, 23 percent), falls on same level ($10.6 billion, 17.7 percent) and falls to lower level ($5.5 billion, 9.2 percent

HVAC worker dies after fall from cinema roof in Millbury
Note From BLS 2015 Statistics: Seventeen percent of decedents were contracted by and performing work for another business or government entity in 2015 rather than for their direct employer at the time of the incident.
A heating/ventilation/air conditioning worker died Tuesday afternoon after falling 30 to 35 feet off the Blackstone Valley Cinema De Lux at the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley.
Recent Fatal Fall - Massachusetts Performing Contract Work – January 2017
Contractor dies in fall from power plant roof Delmarva Now (Salisbury, Md.) January 31, 2017 "The employer under investigation is MPW Industrial Services Inc., an industrial cleaning contractor working for NRG Indian River to clean the fly ash silo,"

Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction workers, accounting for 350 of the 937 construction fatalities recorded in 2015 (BLS data). Those deaths were preventable. The National Fall Prevention Stand-Down raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries
Beryllium: The Department of Labor (DOL) is delaying new workplace safety standards to comply with President Trump’s regulatory moratorium. The Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued new rules to protect workers from exposure to beryllium on Jan. 9, but is now delaying the standards. The beryllium standards will now go into effect on March 21, 2017. The rule contains standards for general industry, construction, and shipyards.
Key Provisions • Reduces the (PEL) for beryllium to 0.2 micrograms per cubic
meter of air, averaged over 8-hours. • Establishes a new short term exposure limit for beryllium of 2.0
micrograms per cubic meter of air, over a 15-minute sampling period.
• Requires employers to: use engineering and work practice controls (such as ventilation or enclosure) to limit worker exposure to beryllium; provide respirators when controls cannot adequately limit exposure; limit worker access to high-exposure areas; develop a written exposure control plan; and train workers on beryllium hazards.
• Requires employers to make available medical exams to monitor exposed workers and provides medical removal protection benefits to workers identified with a beryllium-related disease

Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and
Illnesses: Final rule
• The rule does not add to or change any
employer’s obligation to complete and retain
the injury and illness records or change the
recording criteria or definitions for these
records. The rule only modifies employers’
obligations to transmit information from these
records to OSHA.
How: OSHA will provide a secure website that offers three options for data submission. • First, users will be able to manually enter data into a
web form.
• Second, users will be able to upload a CSV file to process single or multiple establishments at the same time.
• Last, users of automated recordkeeping systems will have the ability to transmit data electronically via an API (application programming interface). We will provide status updates and related information here as it becomes available
Employee Rights
• Modifications to 1904.35 make it a violation for an employer
to discourage employee reporting of injuries and illnesses.
• Employers must inform employees of their right to report
work-related injuries and illnesses free from retaliation. This
obligation may be met by posting the OSHA “It’s The Law”
worker rights poster v. April 2015 or later.
• Raise a safety or health concern with your employer or OSHA,
or report a work-related injury or illness, without being
retaliated against.
• This rule does not ban incentive programs. However,
employers must not create incentive programs that deter or
discourage an employee from reporting an injury or illness.
Incentive programs should encourage safe work practices and
promote worker participation in safety-related activities.
• The rule does not ban drug testing of employees. It only bans
employers from using drug testing, or the threat of drug
testing, as a form of retaliation against employees who report
injuries or illnesses. In addition, employers cannot create drug
testing policies or practices that deter or discourage an
employee from reporting an injury or illness.

OSHA’S Whistleblower Webpage
www.whistleblowers.gov
Report a Fatality or Severe Injury • All employers are required to notify OSHA when an
employee is killed on the job or suffers a work-related hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye.
• A fatality must be reported within 8 hours. • An in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or eye loss must
be reported within 24 hours
10,388 severe injuries reported, including
2,644 amputations and 7,636 hospitalizations
This is an average of 30 worker injuries every day of the year
Most reported injuries (62%) were addressed by employer investigation, not OSHA inspection
Severe Injury Reporting:
YEAR ONE FINDINGS
Higher OSHA Penalties
OSHA has increased its civil monetary penalties to account for inflation
Congress required OSHA and other agencies to increase their penalties
First time OSHA’s penalties will be adjusted since 1990
Increased penalties will help deter bad employers; will encourage them to do the right thing
Higher OSHA Penalties
• OSHA's maximum penalties increased by 78%.
• Going forward, the agency will continue to adjust its penalties for inflation each year based on the Consumer Price Index.
• The new penalties took effect August 1, 2016. Citations issued by OSHA after that date will be subject to the new penalties if the related violations occurred after November 2, 2015.
New Penalty Levels
Type of Violation Current Maximum New Maximum*
Serious and Other-Than-Serious
Posting Requirements
$7,000 per violation
$12,471 per violation
Willful or Repeated
$70,000 per violation
$124,709 per violation
Failure to Abate
$7,000 per day
beyond the abatement date
$12,471 per day

*Maximum penalties will be readjusted annually for inflation.
Adjustments to Penalties
• To provide guidance to field staff, OSHA issued revisions to its Field Operations Manual.
• To address the impact on smaller businesses, OSHA will continue to provide penalty reductions based on the size of the employer and other factors.
The employee was working at John’s Used Autos and Parts LLC when he was struck in the head by a chain come-a-long device as he attempted to inflate and mount a multi-piece rim wheel on a vehicle on Oct. 31, 2016
Recent Fatality Case Under New Penalty System
Specifically, the employer did not: • Train and instruct the employees in correct and safe
operating procedures for servicing multi-piece rim wheels.
• Establish safe operating procedures. • Provide a restraining device for employees to use
when inflating the tire.
The inspection also identified violations concerning lack of exit route signage, personal protective equipment, forklift training, electrical safety and training about hazardous chemicals in the workplace. Finally, the employer did not notify OSHA of the employee’s death as required.
As a result of these conditions, OSHA cited John’s Used Autos and Parts for 12 serious violations of workplace safety standards. Proposed penalties total $27,157. John’s Used Autos and Parts has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Note: small employer with less than 10 employees
