Over time, the sun's UV rays can cause a hard hat shell to become brittle and compromise its ability to help protect the wearer. 3M's H-700 series hard hat with Uvicator sensor will help workers know when it may be time to replace a hard hat due to extended UV exposure. The sensor changes color from red to white as the hard hat is exposed to UV light, alerting the wearer that it's time for a replacement. This innovative, award-winning, lightweight hard hat offers all the features and performance of the H-700 series, and now with the addition of the Uvicator sensor, it's an even better choice for extended comfort and protection.

A personal fall arrest system may consist of a full body harness, a deceleration device, a lanyard, and an anchor point. (See the definition of “personal fall arrest system” in 29 CFR 1926.500). If an employer can demonstrate that fall protection required under 1926.501(b)(13) is infeasible or presents a greater hazard it must implement a written, site-specific fall protection plan meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.502(k). The fall protection plan must specify alternative measures that will be used to eliminate or reduce the possibility of employee falls.3M offers a personal fall arrest kit (pictured above) which may be appropriate for residential roofing applications. The kit includes anchorage, body protection, and connecting devices. http://www.lawlessgroup.com/news/index.php#OSHA-fall-protection-policy Mon, 21 November 2011 14:49:00 GMT-6 On Monday, October 31, 2011, OSHA unveiled its top 10 most cited violations during a live presentation at the National Safety Congress in Philadelphia. 1) Fall Protection, with 7,139 violations, topped the list this year switching places with last year’s first place holder, Scaffolding. OSHA said 260 workers died in 2010 from falls, which continue to be the leading cause of death in construction. 2) Scaffolding came in a close second place, with 7,069 violations. OSHA noted that incidents involving this category often result from improper placement and setup of a scaffold. 3) Hazard Communication – 6,538 violations – OSHA said most violations involved not having a written Hazard Communication program, a lack of a training program, and a lack of MSDS management system. 4) Respiratory Protection – 3,944 violations – Roughly five million workers in the U.S. are required to wear respirators. OSHA said employers must provide workers with proper medical evaluations and fit testing. 5) Lockout/Tagout – 3,639 violations – Not following proper Lockout/Tagout procedures can result in unexpected energization of parts and a release of hazardous energy. This standard prevents 50,000 injuries and 120 fatalities a year, OSHA said. A worker spends 24 days away from work to recover from a LOTO injury, the agency noted. 6) Electrical (Wiring) – 3,584 violations – Working with electricity involves working on overhead lines, circuit assemblies, cables harnesses, and other equipment. 7) Powered Industrial Trucks – 3,432 violations – OSHA said there were 8,410 injuries in the U.S. in 2009 related to forklifts. 8) Ladders – 3,244 violations – Ladders make up about 25 percent of falls, OSHA said. Hazards include improper use of siderails, unintended use of ladders, and defective ladders. 9) Electrical – 2,863 violations – Many violations involve not following electrical installation requirements. 10) Machine Guarding – 2,556 violations – Improper machine guarding can result in broken bones, finger lacerations, and hand crushes.

The innovative, high-strength, anti-slip design is available on Wright Tool open-end and combination wrenches in a range of metric sizes from 7 to 24 mm. The design incorporates a series of strategically placed teeth or grooves on the insides of the wrench's two jaws. These teeth allow for a better seating of the wrench on a fastener. Also, the wrench opening's back end has been slightly enlarged with extra metal in this high-stress area, helping to stiffen the wrench jaws and decreasing the chance of their spreading under heavy loads. The modified U-shape design on the back end further reduces stress and improves performance. http://www.lawlessgroup.com/news/index.php#WrightGripMetric Thu, 06 November 2011 14:47:00 GMT-6 Igloo's new 5 Gallon Rollers incorporate new features designed to keep workers hydrated better than ever, from the flush toolbox-style latch and molded-in "locking loops" to the telescoping handle and elevated base.
