Title: What are their known OSHA consequences?
Post by: Dottonedan on January 24, 2017, 09:04:35 AM
 I'm just curious for a friend parentheses what are the known consequences of OSHA violations are there different levels different extremes let's say we don't keep the mops in the right place the mops and the cleaning supplies but I say we don't keep chemicals in a hazard safe material cabin?

Anything from a fine to a shut down.  The main ones are MSDS book, Locking cabinet for chemicals, Tag Out procedures, and a 3' clearance around all doors and exits.

Hoping to not make this thread political, but isn't our new Prez sayin' that he's going to eliminate many regulations on businesses? Is OSHA one of the departments he plans on neutering?

With a little luck!

I've been going over a lot of OSHA recently but haven't heard of the locking cabinets before. Does that pertain to certain chemicals/types? Otherwise, wouldn't everything classify?  Thanks! Will

mop buckets, although they do have a place, won't get your fined like using extension cords, spray bottles with no labels on them, fans without guards, improper PPE items, lack of first aid and eye/body wash stations or storing flammables without the proper locking fire-proof cabinet, this includes your spray tack.

they look at work paths, electrical panels, equipment maintenance. when was the last time you did X, Y, Z?

Essentially they want to make sure your employees have all of the basic safety measures in place and that you are aware of those measures, and are consciously thinking about those measures and their relation to your employees well being.
