Next 1 National Emphasis Program on Amputations National Emphasis Program

Previous Next 2 What’s its purpose?  Describe policies and procedures to identify and reduce workplace industry hazards likely to cause amputations

Previous Next 3 Where does it apply?  OSHA wide  40% of nations workplaces  States encouraged to adopt similar programs  General industry employers whose workplaces include shears, saws, slicers, and power presses (the 3s and a P)

Previous Next 4 What’s the background and reason for the program?  Continued incidence of amputations from the operation of saws, shears, slicers, and power presses of all types  Equipment was identified from three sources: – NIOSH research project on machine safety – OSHA IMIS accident database – BLS data

Previous Next 5 Saws  Used primarily in woodworking and manufacturing shops  Two types – Table – Radial arm  Other types include: Hand heldChopMiter Skil Band

Previous Next 30 Additions to list  Area offices will obtain and use additional data to identify and add establishments where amputation injuries or fatalities related to these machines have occurred in the last 5 years.  Local information could include – IMIS/Workers’compensation data – NIOSH/hospital admissions/discharge data – Emergency Medical Services, fire department, and police reports – OSHA 200 and 300 logs

Previous Next 31 Inspection Procedures  Scheduled I.A.W. firm  Once scheduled, IMIS data base will be searched for employer’s citation and fatality/accident history prior to opening conference  At opening conference, CSHO will inquire if any of this machinery is present in the workplace

Previous Next 32 Inspection procedures (cont’d)  If present, a thorough inspection will be conducted focusing on: – Nip points – Pinch points – Shear points – Cutting actions – Point(s) of operation

Previous Next 33 Inspection procedures (cont’d)  CSHO will also evaluate employee exposures during the following: – Regular operation of machine – Setup/threading/preparation for operation of machine – Clearing jamups or upset conditions – Making adjustments while machine is operating – Cleaning of machine – Oiling/greasing of machine /machine parts – Scheduled/unscheduled maintenance – Lockout/tagout considerations

Previous Next 34 Inspections procedures (cont’d)  CSHO will review OSHA 200 and 300logs for all amputation injuries or hazards  Limited to hazards associated with power presses, saws, shears, and slicers, but may be expanded  Inspections will begin March 26, 2002  Because program may yield significant cases, A.D.s, supervisors and CSHOs should ensure case developments are being met

Previous Next 35 Scheduling and resource allocation  Resources - R.A.’s will ensure adequate resources for this NEP  Planning - R.A.’s will report to DCP, the number of NEP inspections that are planned for each fiscal year

Previous Next 36 Scheduling and resource allocation (cont’d)  Priority - Inspection conducted under this NEP have a lower priority than Site Specific Targeting (SST), but have a higher priority than other programmed inspections

Previous Next 37 Coordination  National Office – NEP will be coordinated with Office of General Industry Compliance, DCP  Field – Each R.A. will have a coordinator

Previous Next 38 Training  Due to nature of program, staff must have adequate training or experience  OTI provides training materials – Additional sessions of power press/machine guarding course can be made available – Can be expanded to include use of stop time measuring device

Previous Next 39 Additional training  On-the-Job-Training  Enforcement and compliance issues

Previous Next 40 Federal agencies/program evaluation Federal Agencies Area Offices Regional Offices Evaluate according to CPL2.102 A

Previous Next 41 IMIS coding  Inspections in industries where potential exposure exist will be coded as an amputation hazard  Done regardless of whether machinery was guarded and amputation hazard removed  Coding and back coding done for all industries except construction
