OSHA’s Toolkit Guides Employers and Workers in Transitioning to Safer Chemicals |
|
American workers use tens of thousands of chemicals every day, but only a small number are regulated in the workplace. As a result, workers suffer more than 190,000 illnesses and 50,000 deaths annually related to chemical exposures. Workplace chemical exposures have been linked to cancers, and other lung, kidney, skin, heart, stomach, brain, nerve and reproductive diseases.
The best way to protect workers from dangerous chemical exposures is to establish a chemical management system that strives to reduce or eliminate chemical hazards at the source through informed substitution. OSHA has developed a step-by-step toolkit to provide employers and workers with information, methods, tools and guidance on using informed substitution in the workplace. By using this toolkit, businesses can improve worker well-being through eliminating or reducing hazardous chemicals as well as achieve cost savings by reducing worker illnesses and improving efficiency and performance.
This toolkit can be used by all types of businesses, including chemical manufacturers, service-oriented businesses (such as janitorial companies, auto body repair shops, and pathology labs) and construction work sites where products containing chemicals that could present hazards to workers are often used.
OSHA’s goal is to help businesses thrive safely by asking them to look at their chemical use and adopt ways to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals.

OSHA’s Fact Sheet Provides Crowd Management Safety Guidelines for Holiday Season Shopping |
|
Crowd-related injuries can occur during special sales and promotional events, especially during the holiday season. OSHA has prepared a fact sheet of guidelines to help employers and store owners avoid injuries during the holidays, or during any event where large crowds may gather. Crowd management planning should begin in advance of events that are likely to draw large crowds and include pre-event setup and emergency management strategies.
Planning tips include:
- Where large crowds are expected, hire additional staff as needed and have trained security or crowd management personnel or police officers on site.
- Create a detailed staffing plan that designates a location for each worker and determine the number of workers needed in various locations to ensure safety.
- Ensure that workers are properly trained to manage the event.
Ideas to respond to emergency situations include:
- Do not restrict egress, and do not block or lock exit doors.
- Know in advance who to call for emergency medical response.
- Keep first-aid kits and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) available, and have personnel trained in using AEDs and CPR onsite.
- Instruct employees, in the event of an emergency, to follow instructions from authorized first responders, regardless of company rules.
