Prevent Worker Exposure to Carbon Monoxide
|
|
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Although it has no detectable odor, CO is often mixed with other gases that do have an odor. You can inhale carbon monoxide along with gases that you can smell and not know that CO is present.
CO is a common industrial hazard resulting from the incomplete burning of material containing carbon such as natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, coal or wood. Forges, blast furnaces and coke ovens produce CO, but one of the most common sources of exposure in the workplace is the internal combustion engine.
OSHA urges employers to take necessary precautions to protect workers from the potentially fatal effects of carbon monoxide exposure. Every year, workers die from carbon monoxide poisoning, usually while using fuel-burning equipment, tools, compressors and pumps, gas-powered forklifts, and other devices in buildings or semi-enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation.

OSHA Provides Maritime Safety Resources and Solutions
|
|
The maritime industry encompasses the construction, repair and scrapping of vessels, as well as the movement of cargo and other materials. OSHA standards cover safety requirements at marine terminals and in long shoring and shipyard operations.
There are many hazards associated with the maritime industry, including slips, trips and falls, machinery and equipment hazards, hazardous chemicals, confined/enclosed spaces and fire hazards. The implementation of controls, procedures and training is essential to raising awareness of potential maritime industry hazards and ways to keep workers safe.
|

OSHA has produced a wide variety of
publications, videos and other resources to help identify, reduce and eliminate hazards in the maritime sector. For more information visit OSHA’s
Maritime Industry Resources and Solutions
webpage.
