If you don’t know what’s in your chemicals, how can you be sure you’re taking the necessary steps to keep your employees safe? How can you be sure you’re compliant with all of the local, state, federal and international regulations with jurisdiction over your facility or business?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OSHA’s revision of the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with GHS is likely only a few weeks away (four to eight weeks by many estimates). And as the date approaches, there is a disquieting position being taken by some smaller workplaces that use chemicals — it’s the idea that they are “so small” they do not have to “worry” about changes to OSHA’s HazCom standard. It’s a false conclusion, providing a false security, which can lead to a dangerous end. This article will start by addressing that “too small to worry” mindset and end with two stories about hazard compliance from the past week that everyone should read.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, MSDSonline reported on a House Subcommittee meeting where OSHA Director Dr. David Michaels was called in to defend OSHA regulations, which were called job killers by some on the panel. Dr. Michaels responded, “OSHA regulations stop jobs from killing workers.” Today, as part of an all-star keynote panel at the National Safety Council’s Congress and Expo, a panel that included OSHA and NIOSH leadership, Dr. Michaels once again defended OSHA regulations while at the same time conceding that certain regulations were a long way off due in large part to anti-regulatory factions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, OSHA used the National Safety Council's Congress and Expo to announce the years top 10 violations. The 2011 list was unveiled during a live presentation on the Expo floor sponsored by Safety+Health magazine. The list was very similar to 2010, with a couple of violations switching places. Hazard Communication violations remained high on the list, and unchanged at #3. Fall Protection and Scaffolding switched places and Ladders violations dropped from #5 to #8, while Powered Trucks and Electrical - Wiring Methods climbed up.

The next question we have is what will GHS alignment with Hazard Communication Standard mean for HazCom violations?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MSDSonline has learned that on October 25, 2011, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) submitted a final rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that would revise the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to align with GHS. It would be the last major hurdle before a final rule on a revised HCS can be published. Because OMB must review the rule within 90 days, OMB approval of a revised Hazard Communication Standard could be less than 90 days away.]]></description>

Its report, The 2010 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, shows a drop in private industry nonfatal incidents (3.5 cases per 100 full-time workers – down slightly from the 2009 rate of 3.6 cases per 100 workers) and a continued high rate for public sector workers (5.7 cases for every 100 workers).
