Five Most Cited Serious Violations As Per OSHA – II
Scaffolding: OSHA asks every scaffold and scaffold component to be able to support without any failure not just its own weight, but at least four times the maximum load intended to apply to it. There are of course exceptions to this rule, such as suspension ropes, used on suspension scaffolds that are non-adjustable. These should be capable of supporting at least six times the maximum weight intended to be transmitted to it.
Respiratory Protection: OSHA asks for preventing atmospheric contamination, so that occupational respiratory diseases are not caused by inhaling any harmful vapor, spray, smoke, gas, mist, fume, fog and dust. This is to be achieved by using materials that are less topic, conducting operations in an enclosed area, ventilation and other engineering control measures. If such measures are not feasible, respirators are to be provided to the workers.
Lockout Tagout: Appropriate LOTO devices must be used to prevent unexpected energization/ release of stored energy from machines.Equipment must be tested to verify the effectiveness of lockout tagout products and other energy control measures. The employer is to provide training so that the function of the energy control program is understood by the workers. This section covers the servicing of machines and equipment.
