FEATURES - UNDERSTANDING OSHA: A LOOK AT THE AGENCY'S COMPLEX LEGAL & POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT - OSHA has certainly had an interesting year. The agency's final ergonomics standard continues to generate controversy, and the dust has yet to fully settle over its infamous opinion letter on home offices. These controversies raise a basic question: How does OSHA make law and why does the agency do it that way? This article attempts to answer that question by showing that OSHA operates within a complex matrix of legal, political and historical constraints.Pepper, Timothy J. et al. | 2001

FEATURES - SAFETY & PSYCHOLOGY: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? - "Psychology has gained a major foothold within the practice of occupational safety," the author states. To maximize its impact, safety practitioners should be seeking ways to improve the effectiveness of current approaches and to identify new strategies that may impact the future. To that end, the author reviews five key areas m which they should focus: 1) culture and climate; 2) leadership for the future; 3) organizational alignment and related upward feedback; 4) psychosocial factors and ergonomics; and 5) advancing current behavior-based approaches.Sarkus, David J. et al. | 2001

FEATURES - MEDICAL FACILITY RENOVATION: SAFETY & HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION SAFETY PROFESSIONALS - In 1998, approximately (USD)15 billion was spent on healthcare facility construction. Of the 2,124 total construction projects started that year, 161 were new or replacement hospitals, while 1,070 involved expansion or renovation. The construction safety professional must be aware of -- And plan accordingly for -- The unique occupational health hazards presented by working in active medical facilities. While the focus is usually on the safety of construction workers, the safety professional on a healthcare-facility-related project must also be concerned with the safety and health of patients, visitors and medical staff.Garvey, Donald J. et al. | 2001

FEATURES - ABCs FOR LONE WORKERS: A BEHAVIOR-BASED STUDY OF BUS DRIVERS - Behavior analysis is the foundation of all behavior-based safety initiatives, the authors explain. Since behavior change is critical to the success of a behavior-based intervention, and since behavior analysis is critical in developing interventions that can effectively change behavior, they contend it makes sense to help participants become better behavior analysts. This article reports the results of a short-duration study that examined the performance of four highly experienced bus drivers on four safety targets.Olson, Ryan et al. | 2001

-
FEATURES - WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY? - When safety violations occur at a multiple-employer worksite, who is responsible? Is it the host employer, or the contracted or subcontracted company? In response to this complex issue, as well as serious workplace incidents involving these worksites, OSHA developed a multi-employer citation policy. This article discusses the need for the policy, its history, court interpretation of the rule and administration options for contractor safety programs.Nelson, Daniel J. et al. | 2001
