Our Key Message

Focus on Six Core OSHA Required

Written Programs

What Will You Learn?

What written programs are required?

What is required in each program?

When do you need to update each program?

“Do I need to have a

written program for all of

the OSHA regulations?”

“Am I ready for OSHA

to visit and inspect

my programs?”

Q&A

Agenda

Hazard CommunicationRequires chemical manufacturers or

importers to classify the hazards of chemicals

which they produce or import, and all

employers to provide information to their

employees about the hazardous chemicals to

which they are exposed, by means of a

hazard communication program, labels and

other forms of warning, safety data sheets,

and information and training.

Hazard Communication

Plan ContentEmployers shall develop, implement, and

maintain at each workplace, a written hazard

communication program which at least

describes how the criteria of this section for

labels and other forms of warning, safety data

sheets, and employee information and

training will be met.


Plan Content• A list of the hazardous chemicals known to be

present using a product identifier that is referenced

on the appropriate safety data sheet (the list may

be compiled for the workplace as a whole or for

individual work areas); and,

• The methods the employer will use to inform

employees of the hazards of non-routine tasks (for

example, the cleaning of reactor vessels), and the

hazards associated with chemicals contained in

unlabeled pipes in their work areas.


Plan ContentMulti-employer workplaces

• Employers who produce, use, or store

hazardous chemicals at a workplace in

such a way that the employees of other

employer(s) may be exposed (for example,

employees of a construction contractor

working on-site) shall additionally ensure

that the hazard communication programs

include the following:


Plan ContentMulti-employer workplaces (continued)

• The methods used to provide the other employer(s)

on-site access to safety data sheets for each

hazardous chemical the other employer(s)'

employees may be exposed to while working;

• The methods used to inform the other employer(s) of

any precautionary measures that need to be taken to

protect employees during the workplace's normal

operating conditions and in foreseeable emergencies;

and,


Plan ContentMulti-employer workplaces (continued)

• The methods used to inform the other

employer(s) of the labeling system used in

the workplace.

• The employer may rely on an existing

hazard communication program to comply

with these requirements, provided that it

meets the criteria established by this

regulation.


Plan Content• The employer shall make the written hazard

communication program available, upon request, to

employees, their designated representatives, the

Assistant Secretary and the Director.

• Where employees must travel between workplaces

during a work shift, i.e. their work is carried out at

more than one geographical location, the written

hazard communication program may be kept at the

primary workplace facility.







Lockout/Tagout Plan

Q&A

Agenda

Respiratory

Protection Plan• A respirator shall be provided to each employee when such

equipment is necessary to protect the health of such

employee.

• The employer shall provide the respirators which are

applicable and suitable for the purpose intended. The

employer shall be responsible for the establishment and

maintenance of a respiratory protection program.

• The program shall cover each employee required by this

section to use a respirator.

Respiratory

Protection Plan

Content• In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect

the health of the employee or whenever respirators are

required by the employer, the employer shall establish and

implement a written respiratory protection program with

worksite-specific procedures.

• The program shall be updated as necessary to reflect those

changes in workplace conditions that affect respirator use.

The employer shall include in the program the following:

Respiratory

Protection Plan

Content• Procedures for selecting respirators for use in the workplace;

• Medical evaluations of employees required to use respirators;

• Fit testing procedures for tight-fitting respirators;

• Procedures for proper use of respirators in routine and

reasonably foreseeable emergency situations;

• Procedures and schedules for cleaning, disinfecting, storing,

respirators;

Respiratory

Protection Plan

Content• Procedures to ensure adequate air quality, quantity, and flow of

breathing air for atmosphere-supplying respirators;

• Training of employees in the respiratory hazards to which they

are potentially exposed during routine and emergency situations;

• Training of employees in the proper use of respirators, including

putting on and removing them, any limitations on their use, and

their maintenance; and

• Procedures for regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the

program.

Respiratory

Protection Plan

ContentWhere respirator use is not required:• An employer may provide respirators at the request of employees or

permit employees to use their own respirators, if the employer

determines that such respirator use will not in itself create a hazard. If

the employer determines that any voluntary respirator use is

permissible, the employer shall provide the respirator users with the

information contained in Appendix D to this section ("Information for

Employees Using Respirators When Not Required Under the

Standard"); and

Respiratory

Protection Plan

Content• In addition, the employer must establish and implement those

elements of a written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to use that respirator, and that the respirator is cleaned, stored, and maintained so that its use does not present a health hazard to the user.

• Exception: Employers are not required to include in a written respiratory protection program those employees whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of filtering facepieces (dust masks).

Lockout/Tagout Plan Contents

• Procedures shall be developed, documented and utilized for

the control of potentially hazardous energy when employees

to enforce compliance including, but not limited to, the

following:

Lockout/Tagout Plan Contents• A specific statement of the intended use of the procedure;

• Specific procedural steps for shutting down, isolating, blocking and

securing machines or equipment to control hazardous energy;
