A rigorous housekeeping program and adherence to basic personal hygiene practices will minimize employee exposure to lead. In addition, these two elements of the worker protection program will help to prevent taking lead- contaminated dust out of the worksite and home to the workers' families, thus ensuring that the duration of lead exposure does not extend beyond the workshift and providing added protection to employees and their families.

Housekeeping An effective housekeeping program involves at least daily removal of accumulations of lead dust and lead-containing debris. Vacuuming lead dust with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) - filtered equipment or wetting it with water before sweeping are effective control measures. Such cleaning operations should be conducted, whenever possible, at the end of the day, after normal operations cease. Furthermore, all persons doing the cleanup should be provided with suitable respiratory protection and personal protective clothing to prevent contact with lead. In addition, all lead-containing debris and contaminated items accumulated for disposal should be collected and put into sealed impermeable bags or other closed impermeable containers. Bags and containers should be appropriately labeled as lead-containing waste. These measures are especially important as they minimize additional sources of exposure that engineering controls generally are not designed to control. Personal Hygiene Practices To minimize exposure to lead, special attention should be given to workers' personal hygiene ...

... instituted the Maine 200 program. About 200 companies worked with OSHA to improve safety. Employers received federal assistance in developing health and safety programs and were assured that inspections had a low priority. According to a White House press release, employers identified more than 14 times as many hazards as could have been cited by OSHA inspectors. Approximately 60% of the participating businesses reduced injury and illness rates. OSHA looks for the following: 1. Management commitment 2. Employee participation 3. Hazard identification effort 4. Correction and documentation 5. Training for employees and supervisors 6. Reduction of illness and injury The Maine 200 approach has proved cost effective in reducing workplace injury and illness. The program is being expanded by OSHA. Fire Causes The main hazards that result in fire are: Smoking Electrical Poor Housekeeping Grease (cooking, industrial, etc.) Spontaneous combustion Friction-for example, overheating bearings Explosion of vapors, dust, atomized liquids or gases Chemical reactions Fire requires three things: fuel, heat, and oxygen. Removal of any of these will prevent or stop a fire. There are five steps in fire prevention and protection: engineering; planning; training; inspection; and follow-up. ENGINEERING The first step in fire prevention is to engineer the site for fire prevention and protection. This includes attention to layout, design, construction, and materials. Automatic and manually operated fixed-sprinkler or extinguisher systems may be installed. Process and work flow should be analyzed for contribution to fire hazard or inhibition of effective response. PLANNING The second step is development, documentation, and communication of emergency response plans ...

... promise is far worse than never committing to do something in the first place. At a hotel this week, I was offered three things at check-in. Although it was midnight and I was tired, I answered the questions of the employee at registration. First, he asked me if I wanted a USA Today newspaper in the morning. I said that I would. Then he asked if I'd like any other newspapers. I said that one is fine. Next, he told me that with my reservation, Wireless Internet would be free. He explained how I would be able to log on and asked me if I understood. I said that I did. Finally, he asked me if I wanted to be a part of the hotel's "Green Program" which allows you to decline housekeeping service in return for points in the hotel rewards program. There were a few other options in the program, but I told him that I would just take the points. Because I knew I'd be on the phone for most of the morning with clients, I didn't want housekeeping. The next morning things started getting weird. First, I tried to access the Internet, but my mobile broadband had poor reception. I remembered the free Internet offer, but when I tried to log on the computer said I wasn't a registered guest. When I called the front desk, they referred me to the help desk, which kept me on hold for nearly 10 minutes' I finally had to purchase the service which they said they would take off my bill. Then I opened the door ...

CompleteMarkets Editor 6/30/2015 12:00:00 AM On June 22, 1984, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a standard which set a limit on worker exposure to ethylene oxide (EtO) averaged over an either hour day to protect about 68,000 workers exposed to the substance. The standard was amended April 6, 1988, to further reduce the health risk associated with EtO by requiring control of short-term exposure to EtO as well. Workers primarily employed by hospitals and medical products manufacturers will benefit most from the 1988 amendment.
