... upon their first entering into employment and at least annually thereafter. Whenever an employer plans to stop doing business, and there is no successor employer to receive and maintain these records, the employer must notify employees of their right of access to records at least three months before the employer ceases to do business. When OSHA standards require the employer to measure exposure to harmful substances, the employee (or representative) has the right to observe the testing and to examine the records of the results. If the exposure levels are above the limit set by the standard, the employer must tell employees what will be done to bring the exposure down. OSHA Inspections OSHA encourages employers and employees to work together to remove hazards. Employees should discuss safety and health problems with the employer, other workers, and union representatives (if there is a union) . As a last resort, if a hazard cannot be corrected, an employee should contact the nearest OSHA area office. If necessary, the OSHA area director can order an inspection if the employee is willing to submit a formal complaint. Discrimination for Using Rights Although there is nothing in the OSHA law which gives an employee the right to refuse to perform an unsafe or unhealthful job assignment, OSHA's regulations, which have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, provide that an employee may refuse to work when faced with an imminent danger of death or serious injury. The conditions necessary to justify a work refusal are very stringent, however, and a work refusal should be an action taken only as a last resort. If time permits, ...

In the 19th century, businesses had three communication options: The Pony Express, Western Union, and (rarely) the telephone. With the Pony Express, at best you had to wait days or weeks for a response — a lot like a producer trying to cold-call senior executives today. With Western Union, telegrams had to convey their message in a limited number of words. Today a marketing letter might get through, but the executive has little time to read it and it doesn't display your verbal communication skills. The telephone was — and remains — more effective by connecting you directly with the party you've targeted so that you can display your range of interpersonal skills. Focusing on your appointment with the client's risk manager can do the same thing: Keep you from getting a busy signal. A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME Plan your meeting with the risk manager, keeping a successful outcome in mind: An introduction to the senior executives of the company. If you focus on leaving the meeting with the information you need, you're far more likely to get it. Begin with mental rehearsal. What and who do you need to take to the meeting? A good start might be the Commercial producer, who already has built rapport and trust with the risk manager. If the Commercial producer can't attend, build your own credibility through association with the producer and your agency. You might take a Personal Risk ...

... Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) carry out a balanced mix of programs-enforcement, state programs, voluntary compliance programs, and training and education. The agency encourages communities to call upon OSHA and its staff for a variety of services and technical assistance aimed at promoting safe and healthful working conditions. U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlights Fact Sheet No. OSHA 92-13 OSHA'S FULL SERVICE AREA OFFICES Local offices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) carry out a balanced mix of programs-enforcement, state programs, voluntary compliance programs, and training and education. The agency encourages communities to call upon OSHA and its staff for a variety of services and technical assistance aimed at promoting safe and healthful working conditions. For example, OSHA safety and health personnel are available to speak at civic clubs, union meetings, and trade association gatherings. When appropriate, OSHA field offices will issue news releases at the local level and brief newspaper and broadcast reporters. These outreach efforts are designed to explain new OSHA standards, encourage participation in OSHA rulemakings and answer questions about the agency's approach to workplace safety and health. These are also ways the agency can promote strong workplace safety and health programs and alert employers and employees to training courses available through the OSHA Training Institute. As with the enforcement programs, OSHA targets its outreach efforts on high hazard industries. The OSHA compliance staff is also familiar with the work of other federal and state agencies and professional safety and health organizations. Thus, they can refer callers to other sources of help such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Environmental ...

INFORMATION DATE 19891017 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights-Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records SUBJECT Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlights Fact Sheet No. OSHA 89-29 ACCESS TO EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE AND MEDICAL RECORDS SCOPE-Employers in general industry, the maritime, and construction industries must provide records access to all employees exposed to toxic substances and harmful physical agents, their union representatives, health personnel, and OSHA. The rule does not require creation of any records, only preservation. Access means the right to examine and copy records. ACCESS RULES-Records requests need not be in writing except where trade secrets are involved. Union and health professionals must have specific written consent to gain access to employees' personal medical records but may examine exposure records without such consent. However, they must state the specific record needed and the occupational health need for requesting the information. Health professionals include physicians, occupational health nurses, industrial hygienists, toxicologists, and epidemiologists who provide medical or other occupational health services to exposed employees. Employees have automatic access to their own exposure and medical records except where a physician representing the employer believes that direct employee access to certain information in the record could be detrimental to the employee's health. However, they have access to exposure records of others when these exposures represent their past or present exposure, or exposures represent their past or present exposure, or exposure where an employee is being assigned or transferred. Employers must provide records ...

... but gives an idea of their relative importance. Interviews Discussions are necessary with all who have activities relating to risk. This may include: The chief administrative officer, for an overview of the activities and a clear view of what's most important The chief financial officer, for details on cash flow, reserves, location of money or securities, and extent to which loss might be assumed without financial pain For large firms, the engineer or public works director, for data on physical values, construction projects, construction contracts, and loss-prevention projects (design and maintenance) The accountant, for information on cost allocations and more financial detail Legal representatives, for information on contracts (hold harmless provisions and insurance requirements) as well as background on claims status and administration Personnel representatives, for labor aspects (a union contract may have a provision regarding Workers Compensation in relation to other benefits, for example) and safety organization The purchasing agent, to determine what contract terms exist for passing on or assuming liability for damage arising out of purchased products Any medical personnel, nurses or doctors, for details of their activities that could lead to malpractice suits (Also, you'll want to know whether they carry their own Malpractice insurance.) Inspections There's no substitute for walking through the physical plant. Things will appear that never show on paper, but it's important to know what to look for. Specialists in safety, fire protection, security, and boiler protection all see different things. Risk managers need to see them all. Obviously, they can't see the detail apparent to the specialist, but they can have ...

Good service over the phone means putting common courtesy into common practice. All it takes is practice, practice — and more practice. Follow these 10 tips from Preston Diamond to improve your phone manners. When Alexander Graham Bell first invented the telephone (Greek for "far sound") in 1876, financiers weren't eager to invest in it. His Bell Telephone Company was so desperate for cash that it offered to sell all patents to Western Union for $100,000. However, Western Union considered the telephone an "electrical toy" and refused. Imagine this scenario: The phone is ringing at Alexander Graham Bell's office. "Ring, ring." Voice: "You've reached A.G. Bell's office. If you know A.G. s extension, enter it now. If you want Watson, press 3, if you're using a rotary dial phone, hang on, we'll be right with you." If this had been going on since 1876, would we be used to it? Would you like it any more? I usually answer the phone "Pres Diamond." One time, there was silence. When I said, "Pres Diamond, how may I help you?" The voice on the other end finally replied, "I was looking for a diamond to press on my keypad. I couldn't find one, so I didn't know what to do." Hmmm. But, now to 10 tips on ...
