In this article of EHS Hero What's New, several OSHA enforcement actions are highlighted. A Texas copper supplier faces a $253K fine for safety violations after a worker’s amputation, and a shipyard in Ohio faces a $164K fine following a fire. In Wisconsin, an animal food manufacturer is fined $161K for dust hazards, and a construction company is ordered to reinstate a driver after a whistleblower investigation.
Additionally, the National Safety Council (NSC) reported that fall protection violations in construction remain OSHA’s most cited standard. OSHA is also addressing concerns about its proposed emergency response rule, while the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) seeks input on its draft wildfire smoke review.
The article also discusses OSHA and ANSI eyewash station requirements and provides updates on the upcoming fall release of the upgraded EHS Hero platform, which will feature a more configurable dashboard and enhanced search capabilities.
