Environmental Health Safety Specialist (Pharma and Construction) and QA Specialist (Biopharma and Pharma)
With purpose of share this valuable information. Be safe always and think about it!
OSHA will publish a proposal this month to update an existing standard and expand safety and health protections for emergency responders, including firefighters, emergency medical service providers, and technical search and rescue workers. OSHA will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to modernize the agency's "Fire Brigades" standard — first published in 1980 — as its protections for a narrow set of industrial and private firefighters have become outdated. Currently, OSHA regulations protect emergency responders' safety and health in a patchwork of decades-old, hazard-specific standards. Not designed as comprehensive emergency response standards, they fail to address the full range of job hazards faced by today's emergency responders. The newly named "Emergency Response" standard updates safety and health protections in line with national consensus standards for a broad range of workers exposed to hazards that arise during and after fires and other emergencies. The proposal will include major changes in protective clothing and equipment and significant improvements in safety and health practices that the industry generally accepts as standard procedures. The proposed rule requires employers to obtain baseline medical screening for all emergency responders and ensure continued medical surveillance for responders when they are exposed to the byproducts of fires and explosions more than 15 times annually. The proposal also includes a variety of other requirements to better protect both workers whose primary job is emergency response and those whose emergency response duties are in addition to their regular daily work duties.

Working to expand my knowledge outside of the traditional emergency management field. As the saying goes, "you don't know what you don't know". For my healthcare sector peers, what are some good resources or courses to begin to understand your side of the house? #emchallenge #emergencymanagement

OSHA has posed the “Emergency Response Standard” to significantly upgrade the 44-year-old federal standards for #FirstResponders health, safety, and wellbeing. The Agency’s intentions are very well placed; however, the comprehensive nature of the proposal could lead easily lead to triple-digit hours’ worth of compliance, high costs that could certainly impact small districts/agencies providing fire and ambulance services, and place further pressures on volunteer service. Join the National Association of Emergency and Fire Officials for a 90-minute deep-dive with Scott Moore of Moore EMS Consulting for what your fire, ambulance, and emergency services district needs to know about the rule ahead of the July 21 (extended) public comment period.

Day 6 of Careers in Public Health (CIPH)'s challenge. Building consistency is never easy, but persistence is key. Today, I learned about law making and health emergency preparedness from OpenWHO. Law making and health emergency preparedness are crucial aspects of public health and safety. Laws related to health emergency preparedness ensure that there are clear guidelines and authorities need to act fast and effectively during situations of emergency. As we navigate our unpredictable world, the intersection of these two concepts is where public safety meets strategic foresight as they provide a framework for a rapid, effective response to crises. #10dayscareerchallengewithCIPH #10daysofcareerdevelopment #WHO
