This week's EHS Hero What's New article highlights recent OSHA enforcement actions and safety updates. Nebraska's grain cooperative and a boat manufacturer were cited for serious safety violations, with the grain cooperative facing a $535,000 fine. OSHA continues to inspect and penalize employers for hazardous conditions, as seen in its Q3 2024 enforcement roundup. NIOSH reports that men are three times more likely to die from workplace homicides, and OSHA announced a settlement with AB Specialty Silicones LLC, which agreed to pay $1.3 million in penalties after a 2019 explosion killed four workers. OSHA also completed a regional office restructuring.
Resources include safety tips in October's employee newsletter, flu prevention guidance, and information on indoor air quality for the winter respiratory disease season. Additionally, the upgraded EHS Hero platform, launching this fall, will offer enhanced safety program management features for organizations.
