THMG254 – Rick Emery educates us on OSHA

September 18, 2020

STOP!


If you didn’t listen to THMG250, then listen to that first. We made a thesis, Rick schooled us. (rightfully so). Bring this back to the kitchen table and let everyone know. 


Show Notes:


5:00 OSHA w/ Operations Training

  • Read 19.10.120
  • NFPA has a handbook that goes into more depth of OSHA
  • OSHA Compliance Manuel (many people have never seen this)


8:30 Wrinkles in the OSHA Compliance Manuel

  • May enter danger area to extinguish fire (propane, natural gas). Normally employees trained at the operations level would be restricted from taking aggressive action in these situations, but if there is imminent danger they are granted authority
  • In order to work with gasoline, you have to have specific training or you can receive a citation from OSHA


12:00 Toxicity vs Explosive In Confronting OSHA Guidelines

  • When the OSHA Compliance Model was written, the people who completed it were volunteer firefighters. It has been unchanged for 31 years, but it still makes sense when you dive into the details.
