🚧 Fall Protection vs. Guardrails: A Safety Decision on the Spotlight 🚧 A recent case on a shipping vessel brings a critical safety question to light: When is a fall protection system enough, and when are guardrails a must? Despite an employer's decision to use safety harnesses over guardrails for a high platform, a safety violation was issued, emphasizing a clear legal standpoint. Key Insight: OHS law mandates guardrails for any platform over 1.2 meters high, regardless of other fall protection measures. This scenario, derived from an Occupational Health and Safety Tribunal Canada decision, underscores the non-negotiable aspects of workplace safety laws. 🔗 Dive deeper into the case and its implications for workplace safety here. A quick read for anyone involved in workplace safety, legal compliance, or operational management. #OHSInsider #Newsletter #WorkplaceSafety #FallProtection #SafetyCompliance #OHS #FallPrevention

On Tuesday, October 31, 2023, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) published a Memorandum of Understanding (2023 MOU) to facilitate interagency cooperation and strengthen the agencies' partnership to promote safe and healthy workplaces. Both the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protect employees' efforts to improve or bring about change to their workplaces with respect to health and safety, including specifically an employee's right to complain to management about unhealthy or unsafe work conditions. Of course, the NLRA protects employees' right to form a union, among other things. While OSHA and the NLRB have historically engaged in cooperative efforts and have entered into prior MOUs, the 2023 MOU expands that cooperation and "strengthen[s] the agencies' partnership to promote safe and healthy workplaces through protecting worker voice."

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 gaining Royal Assent. 1974, the year of the Three-Day week, two General Elections, England and Wales failing to qualify for the World Cup (Scotland went out in the group stage), and the year arguably the most important piece of workplace safety legislation – the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act – came into force. “This Act will not put an end to death and injury at work,” Greville Janner MP told Parliament in 1974. “What it will do is to cut accidents and to enable the most stringent penalties to be imposed upon those who do not comply with their duties.” It can certainly be argued that it has done just that. #50thanniversary
