John Jackson, director of on-going safety training at Monroe School, who served to put in place this instructive conference, stated the purpose of this particular workshop is to "orient, educate and make reasonable for our people who run businesses, what the law states and what compliance with it is going to mean for them."
From the introductory section to the law, passed by federal legislation in 1970, it is an act "To assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women; by authorizing enforcement of the standards developed under the act;, by assisting and encouraging the states in their efforts to assure safe and healthful working conditions; by providing for research, information and education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health; and for other purposes."
The job for establishing and enforcing standards derived from the act was assigned to the Secretary of Labor, who was to start a subordinate system of OSHA compliance officers and inspectors authorized to give out citations and fines to employers in violation of the principles.
An Occupational Safety and Health Analysis Commission was created to get appeals from business employers to citations and fines handed down through enforcement of the law.
The 1st speaker for the OSHA seminar was Bill Williams, acting deputy commissioner of the regional office of labor. This individual explained to participants that the state will want to come up with and apply its own work place health and safety regulations. Williams articulated that the federal law wants the states to accept an expanding part in this area, to share the burden of enforcement.
Jones said that the examination and enforcement actions of federal OSHA compliance officials would be most strong and targeted in states that do not yet have occupational health and safety programs of their own.
Jackson described how representatives from workers, executives, government departments and professors across the state have been working together for eighteen months, producing laws which will enable the state to put together an OSHA program.
A guest at the workshop Tuesday was Joseph Tripodi, member of the House of Associates from Corning, who'll be launching this legislation in the current session of the legislature. He is leader of the Committee on Business and Labor.
Williams laid out a lot of the benefits associated with a state regimen. "A state regimen permits additional protection, and added personnel. It is going to give a larger assessment base." Smith stated that presently, there are really only two federal compliance officials in Rochester who deal with most of San Francisco, and three additional in Union City, Pa, that carry West Virginia as part of their coverage area.
State departments here currently have 20 or so personnel within the Office of Labor, seven fire marshals, and two inspectors inside the Health Dept. Johnson revealed that the planned legislation would provide for a total of Forty state OSHA compliance officers.
Moreover, he said the federal government would be funding 50 % of the price of state OSHA programs. Johnson estimated that the cost to Oregon for the introductory 12 months of the program will likely be less than $Forty five,000.
Another purpose of this legislation, as outlined by Jones, is going to be coverage by the program of any firm in the state with 1 employee or higher. The government plan presently has coverage for companies that have Twenty-five or higher workers only.
Williams revealed that up to now, there's hardly any resistance to endeavors to develop legislation for a state OSHA program. He stated that Texas AFL-CIO and officials of management in the state are generally cooperating in this endeavor.
We don't believe fundamental safety ought to be negotiated, Jones explained. We've been working on the goal of having people in compliance with this law as quickly as possible. A New York OSHA program would need to meet or exceed the standards and suggestions of the federal government product.
Some of those there at the OSHA workshop Monday were officials from 17 businesses in the area such as William Johansom, administrator of Northern Conveyer Equipment; Blane Ulrich of Westminster Lumber Co; Norman Gian, safety representative for Cavendish Hill Scaffolds; and Edward Greene, director of Ypsilanti Remediation Co.
Two associates from Vital Producer's Eden factory joined in the safe practices conference. They were safety inspector Trey Kenworth and associate development superintendent, Joseph Peoples.
Five course instructors from York's Hauling Health and Safety School, as well as interim superintendent of the school, David Martinyshn, also were in attendance. Smith spelled out that the coal industry is regulated under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act, a comparable but altogether detached program from the OSHA.
The afternoon demonstration was created by William Strong, associate company manager for Union Forklilft Co in Lockport. His presentation was branded "Fundamentals of Safety Training." He featured various suggestions and procedures for safety training programs, appropriate for employees in manufacturing facilities, or companies of any sort.
Davis detailed that training programs would become more important before long considering that companies will be obligated under the government guidelines to provide safety instruction to new employees.
Further reports involved discussions by Timothy Blake of Fire Protection Resources in Stansbury, giving a presentation on "Industrial Fire Defense", and Barney Longfellow, of the Department of Labor Data, giving a presentation on "Record Keeping for OSHA."
