The Deadliest Danger Isn't at the Oil Rig but on the Road

New oil drilling has been an economic boon to the country, adding millions of dollars in local tax revenues and royalty payments and creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, many of them providing high pay to unskilled laborers in areas with double-digit unemployment.

But the oil field jobs are also hazardous, with fatality rates that are seven times the national average across all industries. Nearly a third of the 648 deaths of oil field workers from 2003 through 2008 were in highway crashes, according to the most recent data analyzed by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. By contrast, highway crashes caused roughly a fifth of workplace fatalities across all industries in 2010.

This article, from the Helsingin Sanomat, was not what I expected at first. How would you respond if people outside of your workplace were using your workplace to commit suicide?

In Finland 8-9% of all fatal traffic accidents are suicides.  People are intentionally driving their cars into oncoming trucks. The truck drivers survive, but their lives are changed, and for some returning to work is difficult.  This article tells the story of 27-year-old truck driver Sami Pohjolainen. 


"An oncoming Peugeot estate car swerves directly into the path of his truck, hitting right between the headlights. ”Screaming 'Nooou', I slammed on the brakes”, Pohjolainen recalls. At that point he usually wakes up in a cold sweat."
     
"The accident that occurred last summer appears in his dreams almost every night. Pohjolainen was driving a 25-metre-long truck-trailer combination towards Oulu on July 11th, when a violent crash occurred at ten past midnight."

Pohjolainen has not been able to return to work since the accident. Read the complete article here to get the details.

Hyatt Told By Feds To Lighten Housekeepers' Load

"After performing a series of hotel inspections, the federal agency that oversees workplace safety has sent a rare letter to the Hyatt Corporation recommending that the hotelier take some basic precautions to protect its housekeepers from ergonomic injuries."

"The company said the inspections and letter were the result of  'rhetoric and gamesmanship' on the part of the union, which it said has 'an ongoing campaign to impose membership on non-union Hyatt employees.'"

Some Wyoming Oil, Gas Drillers Slam Flame-Resistant Clothing Rule

Some oil and natural gas drillers on Friday slammed a draft state safety rule that would require those on drilling rig sites to wear flame-resistant clothing. They stated that requiring flame-resistant clothing for all of those on a rig site doesn’t make sense because flash fires are rare, the clothing doesn’t provide much protection in messy rig conditions and federal safety rules leave decisions on such clothes to operators.

Clifton’s fire chief initially said a co-worker had jumped into the vat to save Davis, but the reluctant acid-vat hero was a bit more modest.

OSHA has cited Horn Packaging Corp. for 12 alleged safety violations following the death of a worker at the Lancaster-based packaging manufacturer's facility. The worker was fatally injured on Nov. 7, 2011, while operating a corrugated box-making machine when he became entangled in an unguarded drive shaft that provides power to the machine.

A willful citation was issued for a violation involving the unguarded shaft, which lacked proper protection to prevent workers from being exposed to its moving parts.

Additionally, 11 serious violations involve a failure to prevent other machine guarding hazards, develop and implement a written chemical hazard communication program, provide worker training, cover electrical junction boxes and address several deficiencies in the hazardous energy control program, which is designed to prevent machinery from unintentionally starting up during maintenance.

The citations can be viewed at http://www.osha.gov/ooc/citations/HornPackagingCo_315516005_0502_12.pdf.

OSHA has cited Ware Milling Co. Inc. for 30 safety and health violations at the company's Waycross facility. Proposed penalties total $157,500.

OSHA initiated an inspection in November 2011 after receiving a complaint that a worker had entered a milled cotton seed bin without preparation and appropriate equipment, and became trapped and hung from a lanyard for a lengthy time. The worker experienced leg numbness exerted by the pressure of the safety harness and fell more than 10 feet onto the top of the cotton seed mill pile after rope was cut.

OSHA issued two willful safety violations include failing to perform lockout/tagout procedures for the energy source of the screw auger when workers are inside the bins and failing to have a stationed observer who can provide emergency assistance.

Twenty-four serious safety and health violations include:

• failing to select appropriate personal protective equipment and train workers on how it should fit
• develop an emergency action plan
• provide rescue equipment when workers enter the bins
• provide respirators to workers and use engineering controls during exposure to unregulated particulates
• properly guard stairways, open-sided platforms, pulleys and belts; prevent combustible dust accumulation
• address electrical deficiencies
• develop and implement a hazard communication program
• label chemicals in the workplace and provide training on their usage

Four other-than-serious health violations involve failing to maintain OSHA's 300 log for 2011, provide Appendix D to workers wearing dust masks and certify workers' forklift operation training.

OSHA has cited Refton, PA-based Quality Stone Veneer Inc. with eight safety violations, including one willful, for scaffolding hazards found during stone installation activities at a residential construction site in Hegins. OSHA has proposed $154,440 in penalties following an inspection that was initiated after a compliance officer driving by the site observed workers on a scaffold that lacked fall protection measures.

The willful violation is failing to implement a fall arrest system or provide guardrails for employees working on a scaffold more than 10 feet above the next lower level. The citation carries a $69,300 penalty.

Three repeat violations involve a failure to fully plank or deck platforms on all working levels of the scaffold; provide a safe means of access to and from scaffold platforms that are more than 2 feet above or below an access point; and provide competent supervision and direction whenever a scaffold is erected, moved, dismantled or altered. The citations carry penalties of $69,300. Similar violations were cited in 2011 at a site in Falling Waters, W.Va.

Four serious violations involve failing to ensure that scaffold platforms extend at least 6 inches over the centerline support; brace scaffold frames and panels to secure vertical members together laterally; and have a qualified person train workers who use scaffolds as well as workers who erect, disassemble, move, operate, repair, maintain or inspect scaffolds. The citations carry penalties of $15,840.

The citations can be viewed at http://www.osha.gov/ooc/citations/QualityStoneVeneer_315798587_05-03-12.pdf*.
