3 Expanded reporting requirements When Do I have to submit data electronically to OSHA? The final rule takes effect Jan , and reporting requirements will be phased in over two years, as follows: Establishments with 250 or more EE must begin submitting information from Form 300A by July 1, 2017 and must submit information from all forms (300A, 300 & 301) by July 1, Beginning in 2019 and every year thereafter, information shall be submitted by March 2.

7 Reasons for the Rule Current permissible exposure limits (PELs) are formulas that many find hard to understand Construction/shipyard PELs are obsolete particle count limits General industry formula PEL is about equal to 100 µg/m 3 ; construction/shipyard formulas are about 250 µg/m 3

8 Timeline for compliance June Engineering controls shall be in effect. Wet cutting Vacuum systems- Dust collection systems See tables in standard June 23, 2018 Requirements for method of sample analysis Additional information OSHA consultation and Education Provide air quality monitoring at no cost

9 Exposure and Health Risks Exposure to respirable crystalline silica has been linked to: Silicosis; Lung cancer; Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and Kidney disease Healthy Lung Silicotic Lung

10 Industries and Operations with Exposures Construction Glass manufacturing Pottery products Structural clay products Concrete products Foundries Dental laboratories Paintings and coatings Jewelry production Refractory products Asphalt products Landscaping Ready-mix concrete Cut stone and stone products Abrasive blasting in: Maritime work Construction General industry Refractory furnace installation and repair Railroads Hydraulic fracturing for gas and oil

11 Grinding stone without engineering controls Engineering Controls Polishing stone using water to control the dust 12

12 Grinding without engineering controls Engineering Controls Grinding using a vacuum dust collector 13

13 Engineering Controls (cont.) Jackhammer use without engineering controls Jackhammer use with water spray to control dust 14

14 Final Rule to Update General Industry Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection Standards OSHA estimates that these changes will prevent 29 fatalities and 5,842 lost-workday injuries every year.

15 What s New? General Requirements: Surface conditions on all surfaces are neat and orderly Ladders: All ladders, scaffolds, catwalks, etc.. meet requirements and are inspected for defects. Training is performed on proper care and use to all affected workers Step bolts and manhole steps: installed on or after January 17, 2017 in an environment where corrosion may occur is constructed of, or coated with, material that protects against corrosion Stairways All stairways depth, width, angle, capacity Dockboards put into service on or after January 17, 2017 are designed, constructed and maintained to prevent transfer vehicles from running off the dockboard edge:

16 Scaffolds and rope descent systems must meet 1926 subpart L. Training for all affected workers, including but not limited to anchorage points, harnesses, care use and inspection and by no later than November 20, Duty to have fall protection and falling object protection for the 4 height Fall protection systems and falling objects protectioncriteria and practices: Provided, installed, workers trained (where and when used or needed) and inspected Training requirements: Powered platforms for building maintenance Vehicle-mounted elevating and rotating work platforms.

17 Manlifts: revise paragraphs (b)(8)(ii) and (b)(12) Personal fall protection systems: Add (Competent person) Powered Industrial trucks: (j) Overhead and gantry cranes: (c)(2): (d)(3): (d)(4)(iii) Pulp, paper, and paperboard mills: revise paragraphs (c)(15)(ii), (e)(4), (g)(2)(ii), (g)(13)(i), (h)(1), (j)(4)(iii), (j)(5)(i), (k)(6), (k)(13)(i) and (k)(15) Textiles: (r) Sawmills: revise paragraphs (c)(4)(v), (c)(5)(i), and (f)(6) Telecommunications: Revise paragraphs (g)(1); Remove paragraph (g)(2); Re-designate (g)(3) as (g)(2); and Revise paragraph (h) Electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution: revise paragraphs (g)(2)(i), (g)(2)(iv)(b), and (g)(2)(iv)(c)(1)

18 In November 2015, Congress enacted legislation requiring federal agencies to adjust their civil penalties to account for inflation. The Department of Labor has adjusted penalties for its agencies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The new penalties took effect August 2, Any citations issued by OSHA on or after this date will be subject to the new penalties if the related violations occurred after November 2, (The State of IOWA has not yet passed what the increase will be.) Type of Violation Current Maximum Penalty New Maximum Penalty Serious Other-Than-Serious Posting Requirements $7,000 per violation $12,471 per violation Failure to Abate $7,000 per day beyond the abatement date $12,471 per day beyond the abatement date Willful or Repeated $70,000 per violation $124,709 per violation
