In Memoriam, Dr. John Henry Frick

We are saddened to inform IHMM of the passing of one of our founding members, Dr. John Henry Frick

John Henry Frick, 80, — husband, father, grandfather, friend, colleague — passed away at home surrounded by his family on June 10, 2023. He fought pancreatic cancer valiantly for over 4 years.

John was born on a family farm in Quay, Oklahoma on November 14, 1942. He grew up picking cotton, milking cows, hauling hay, and performing the myriad other chores involved with farming. This unrelenting labor led him to diligently pursue his education. He graduated from Quay High School in 1960 and began attending the 2-year Connors State College in Warner, OK that fall. After the first year, John spent the summer selling bibles and books door-to-door in Luray, VA. Since he did not have a car, he would walk the country roads around Luray to make his sales. After his second year, he and friends headed west to California where they harvested plums near Bakersfield.

In the fall of 1962, John transferred to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK. It was here, during the spring semester, that he met the love of his life, Wanda Fleetwood. They were married in December 1963 in an unusual pre-Christmas Oklahoma snowstorm.

IHMM GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

State and Federal Activities

In this section, we will highlight other state and federal government affairs activities undertaken by the committee.

Current Priorities April-July 2023

Webinar: Assessment of Elastomeric Respirators in Healthcare Settings – July 11

On Tuesday, July 11 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. (ET), NIOSH is hosting a webinar titled, Assessment of Elastomeric Respirators in Healthcare Delivery Settings: Randomized-controlled Elastomeric Studies with PCR technology: disinfection Safety and Effectiveness (RESPonSE). In this webinar, researchers from Emory University and the University of Texas will present the findings of a disinfection study on an elastomeric half mask respirator (EHMR) using common disinfectants found in a hospital setting. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of common hospital disinfectants on an EHMR, assess and compare different disinfection methods, and determine best practices.

For more information about the webinar, visit https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/webinars/AssessmentElastomericRespirators.html.

Professional Certification Coalition

IHMM is a member of the PCC. The PCC monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activity affecting professional certification on an ongoing basis. The PCC has compiled several “Watchlists” identifying and analyzing provisions in pending legislation at both the state and federal level that, under applicable rules, may still be enacted in the current legislative session.  Depending on the carry-over rules in the relevant legislature, the charts listing current legislation may include bills introduced in a prior year.  In addition, the PCC compiles each year a chart of enacted legislation that affects certification. The charts include hyperlinks to every bill or executive order. Note that the Watchlist and the Enacted Legislation document do not include profession-specific legislation and do not include regulatory initiatives. The charts will be updated as needed based on new developments.

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree Deakins

Debt Limit Done. Now What? With the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the rearview mirror, this week the U.S. Congress turned to other matters. The U.S. Senate spent the week focusing on nominations to federal agencies. In the U.S. House of Representatives, however, legislative progress was short-lived. Roughly one dozen Republicans frustrated action on the House floor this week in order to exact political concessions from Speaker Kevin McCarthy over what they considered his mishandling of the debt ceiling crisis. Looking ahead, the next major legislative hurdle will be funding the federal government beyond September 30, 2023. Actions on the House floor this week perhaps indicate that this won’t be an easy lift.

SCOTUS Cements Ruling on Property Destruction During Labor Disputes. On June 1, 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an 8–1 decision holding that the National Labor Relations Act does not preempt an employer’s property damages claim against a labor union for actions it took during a labor dispute. The employer, a concrete company, sought damages after the union representing its employees initiated a work stoppage while concrete was being delivered to customers. The concrete went undelivered, hardened, and became useless. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote:

Indeed, far from taking reasonable precautions to mitigate foreseeable danger to [the employer’s] property, the Union executed the strike in a manner designed to compromise the safety of [the employer’s] trucks and destroy its concrete. Such conduct is not “arguably protected” by the NLRA; on the contrary, it goes well beyond the NLRA’s protections.

Eric C. StuartDaniel A. Adlong, and Zachary V. Zagger have the details.

Acting Secretary Su in the Hot Seat. On June 7, 2023, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing entitled, “Examining the Policies and Priorities of the Department of Labor,” which featured one witness: Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su. While ostensibly about the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) fiscal year (FY) 2024 budget request, Su’s nomination to be the permanent secretary of labor served as an underlying theme of the hearing. As such, the hearing covered a wide variety of labor and employment policy topics, including independent contractors, the pending changes to the overtime regulations, apprenticeship programs, project labor agreements, national contract negotiations, unemployment insurance, child labor, and the DOL’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing rule. Clearly, House Republicans are prepared to push back on any final DOL independent contractor regulation or overtime proposal.

NLRB Member to Get Another Term? President Biden has renominated Gwynne A. Wilcox to serve a second term as a member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Wilcox began her tenure on the Board on August 4, 2021, and her term is scheduled to end on August 27, 2023. Democrats currently enjoy a 3–1majority on the Board. If confirmed, Wilcox will serve through mid-2028—potentially two-and-a-half years into a Republican administration. At this time, there is no word on whether President Biden might also nominate a Republican to fill the seat vacated by John F. Ring in December 2022.

EEOC Religious Discrimination Claims Skyrocket. After being pressed by Republican House members to “post data on the types of discrimination charges filed with the agency,” the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently posted its charge data for FY 2022 (October 2021 through September 2022). The most noteworthy development was the rise of religious discrimination claims, which increased from 2,111 in FY 2021 to 13,814 in FY 2022—a 554 percent increase. Charges based on religious discrimination claims represented 18.8 percent of the total charges filed with the EEOC in 2022. This increase was likely due to regulations and policies addressing COVID-19 vaccines. The rise of religious discrimination claims in the workplace is particularly noteworthy (query whether the trend will continue), given that the Supreme Court is soon expected to issue a ruling that could change the standard for determining whether a religious accommodation request creates an “undue hardship” for an employer.

Congress Moving to Address AI? As the Buzz has been tracking over recent weeks, Congress and our federal regulators appear to be taking preliminary steps to address various facets and applications of artificial intelligence and algorithmic learning. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced this week that he would be convening “three bipartisan Senators-only briefings” to “take the time to learn from the leading minds in AI, across sectors, and consider both the benefits and risks of this technology.” Leader Schumer promises the three hearings will address the following questions:

  • “Where is AI today?”
  • “What is the frontier of AI and how do we maintain American leadership?”
  • “How do the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community use AI today and what do we know about how our adversaries are using AI[?]”

According to Majority Leader Schumer’s announcement, “AI is already changing our world, and experts have repeatedly told us that it will have a profound impact on everything from our national security to our classrooms to our workforce, including potentially significant job displacement.”

IHMM Credential Recognition

The highest priority of IHMM’s Government Affairs Committee is the recognition of IHMM’s credentials by government. We have made substantial progress in the two years we have undertaken this endeavor, as outlined in detail here > https://ihmm.org/credential-recognition/

In this project we have 45-in-5, increasing the number of states that recognize IHMM credentials.

  • We have already succeeded in 13 states – New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Ohio, North Dakota, and Georgia. [Red states in the map above]. These are states where IHMM credentials are cited or 40 CFR 312.10 is cited by reference.
  • We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.
  • We have 21 states where no reference to an IHMM credential is made in either statute or regulation, nor is there anything defined in the area of an environmental professional. These states will require legislation or regulatory work. [Yellow states in the map above].

in January 2022 Gene Guilford released the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation that states a private certification that meets or exceeds the requirements of the regulation is an Environmental Professional under the regulation. Here is the crosswalk between the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation and the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM] blueprint. The CHMM meets or exceeds the requirements of an Environmental Professional. 

Here’s what we ask each volunteer to do:

  • Watch legislative and regulatory developments in your state that provide an opportunity for us to create amendments or other interventions
  • Be willing to speak with regulators and legislators in your area about the recognition efforts we craft together

How Effective Is Your Forklift Safety Training?

To identify gaps in your forklift safety training, ask these eight questions to evaluate your current program.

A fragmented and inconsistent approach to safety is inadequate when applied to today’s dynamic, fast-moving work environments. The result can include increased risk to employees, disruptions in operations, damaged equipment and exposure to compliance issues.

Implementing an integrated and individualized approach to a safety training plan can help bring a consistent focus to safety management. It also stresses the important role everyone plays in creating and maintaining a safe work environment.

A robust training program is a vital component of an integrated and individualized approach to safety. It needs to be a program designed to do more than simply check a box on a safety checklist. The effectiveness of a forklift safety training program can vary significantly depending on how it is delivered and who within the organization is receiving it.

Entertainment Company Faces Proposed Penalties, Citation After Fatal Workplace Fire and Explosion

Four workers lost their lives and one spent time in the hospital with “near-fatal injuries” after the December 2022 incident.

OSHA has cited an entertainment company following the death of four workers late last year.

In December 2022, four workers of Magic in the Sky Florida LLC lost their lives and a fifth who experienced “near-fatal injuries” was hospitalized after a fire and explosion, caused by an ignition, trapped them in an Orlando, Florida storage facility, according to a news release. The workers, aged 22 to 27, had been preparing fireworks “for a local show.”

Per the news release, OSHA said the entertainment company, based in Florida, did not:

  • “Ensure proper storage of explosive materials used in commercial fireworks displays.
  • Comply with OSHA’s process safety management standard for preventing or minimizing the unplanned ignition of explosive materials, by performing a hazard analysis, and developing and implementing written process safety procedures and an emergency action plan.
  • Ensure electrical equipment in the work area was designed and classified for use in hazardous locations and could not serve as an ignition source.
  • Develop a hazard communication program and maintain safety data sheets.”

In the news release, OSHA Acting Area Office Director Audrey Windham in Orlando, Florida, said, “The deaths of four young workers and a fifth worker’s life-changing injuries exposed Magic in the Sky’s systemic failures that likely led to a fire and explosion the company could have prevented, which only adds to the tragedy.”

Magic in the Sky Florida LLC is now facing a citation for 10 serious violations and $109,375 in proposed penalties.

“Companies that use pyrotechnics must ensure safety protocols are strictly followed to protect workers from catastrophic consequences,” Windham continued.

A Look at National Safety Month 2023

Explore the four key safety themes that will drive discussions and actions throughout the month.

It’s June, and that means it’s National Safety Month—a time specifically dedicated to focus on the importance and value of safety.

“Since its start, the National Safety Council [NSC] has been on a mission to promote safety and health,” Lorraine Martin, president and CEO of NSC—which founded the observance 27 years ago—said in a news release. “Regardless of whether you’re on the job, on the roads, in your community or at home, in order to be safe, you must be able to feel safe, and safety means something different for each of us; it’s personal.”

In 2023, 5,190 workers lost their lives to work-related injuries, and an additional 2,607,900 workers were injured on the job, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Lawmakers reintroduce bill to increase truckers’ access to restrooms

Back in the House: Bipartisan legislation that would require businesses to provide restroom access to truckers who are loading or delivering cargo at their warehouses, distribution centers, retailers and ports.

Reps. Troy Nehls (R-TX) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) reintroduced the Trucker Bathroom Access Act (H.R. 3869) on June 6 – about six months after similar legislation was halted during the previous session of Congress.

Under the bill, establishments with restrooms “intended for use by customers or employees” would have to allow truckers the same access. It doesn’t require businesses to build new restrooms.

Rail facilities, filling and service stations, and smaller restaurants with “employee use only” restrooms are not covered by the legislation.

Wisconsin Food Manufacturer’s History of Violations Continues, Federal Investigators Find Safety Failures Led to Two Workers Amputation Injuries

OSHA proposes $277K in penalties for Abbyland Foods’ lack of machine guarding

The operator of a north central Wisconsin meat and sausage manufacturing plant might have spared two employees from suffering serious hand injuries by following required machine safety standards, a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found.

Inspectors with the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigating how a turning auger on a meat processing machine at Abbyland Foods Inc. amputated the top of a 37-year-old worker’s finger in December 2022, received a report of a second worker’s injury at the plant a month later. In the January 2023 incident, a sliding guard on a trash compactor crushed a 23-year-old worker’s hand.

Following the December injury, OSHA expanded its inspection under the Wisconsin Food Manufacturing Industry Local Emphasis Program. The emphasis program focuses on many hazards that can lead to serious injury, illness, and death in the food manufacturing industry. OSHA interviewed over 70 employees across all shifts at the facility during the two investigations.

ASSP Slates Date for Safety 24

The association called on safety professionals to mark their calendars for next year’s show, which will be in a new location and new time of year.

The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is calling on members to save the date for next year’s Safety 24 conference and expo: The event will run Aug. 7-9, 2024, in Denver, Colo.

The reason for the late summer timing, as opposed to early summer, is due to a rescheduling that occurred during the Covid-19 public health emergency, noted Christine Sullivan, CSP, ARM, president of the ASSP.

While the show is very much in its planning stages, with the call for presentations currently underway, safety professionals can start planning their visit at visitdenver.com/safety2024. Sullivan, who lived in Denver for 28 years, advised attendees to take advantage of the location.

“Denver is an incredible city,” she said. “It’s a great place for people to take their families and enjoy the mountains either before or after the conference.”

Is Work Stress Affecting Our Home Lives?

Over 1 in 3 of U.S. workers said they miss out on nonwork activities due to exhaustion from work.

The answer to that question is yes, according to research from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) 2023 State of Mental Health & Well-being in the Workplace Study.

Talking with over 1,000 workers between March 15 and March 28, many workers are “experiencing low energy and exhaustion at the end of the workday, affecting their capacity to participate in activities outside of work.” Looking at the specific activities the survey found:

  • One-third of the workers sampled in this study said it was difficult for them to unwind after work.
  • 2 in 5 U.S. workers in the study said they avoid tasks that require high focus or concentration after work.
  • Over 1 in 3 U.S. workers (38%) said they miss out on nonwork activities due to exhaustion from work.

And the numbers are somewhat surprising in that 47% say that they have little energy to participate in nonwork activities.

Does traffic noise affect work performance?

A relatively low level of noise from outdoor traffic can have cognitive effects on workers inside nearby buildings, according to Swedish researchers.

A team from Chalmers University used a laboratory that had a speaker system that let researchers simulate sounds such as outdoor traffic.

Participants took tests in which letters were displayed and they had to press buttons – all while being subject to various noises. They also completed a subjective assessment of their workload rated in six areas: perceived mental workload, physical workload, time pressure, effort, performance and frustration level.

The researchers found that noise levels as low as 40 decibels affected work performance.

“Near busy roads, it is difficult to achieve good indoor sound environments, even with well-insulated buildings and windows,” a university press release states.

The study was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

Worker Dies in Illinois Trench Collapse, OSHA Cites Company

The company faces a citation for one willful and one serious violation and $35,940 in proposed penalties.

An Illinois plumbing contracting business was cited following the death of a 27-year-old worker.

According to a news release, two employees were in a seven-foot-deep trench at a worksite in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, when it collapsed. Although one of the workers escaped and suffered no injuries during the December 2022 incident, the second was fatally crushed.

“Trench collapses are one of the construction industry’s most deadly hazards. Soil can shift suddenly and bury a person under thousands of pounds of dirt and rocks,” said OSHA Chicago North Area Director Sukhvir Kaur in Arlington Heights, Illinois, in the news release.

After OSHA discovered that Rooter Solutions Inc. neither had cave-in protection in the trench nor made sure workers were using head protection, the agency cited the business for one willful and one serious violation. Rooter Solutions Inc. now faces $35,940 in proposed penalties.

From 2011 to 2018, 166 workers—or about 21 workers every year—lost their lives from trench collapses, per OSHA, but 2022’s fatalities were almost double that average. “This worker’s death was one of 39 caused by fatal injuries in trench collapses in 2022,” Kaur added.

16 Colorado Employers Recognized For Recording Zero Worker Injury and Illnesses on the Job in 2022

OSHA, Region VIII VPPPA also name outstanding safety and health professionals

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has recognized 16 Colorado employers for recording zero injury or illness incidents in 2022.

The companies are members of the OSHA Region VIII Voluntary Protection Programs Participants’ Association and are among 35 “Zeroes Heroes” companies in the six-state mountain region of Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. These employers have all achieved OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program status and demonstrate that developing comprehensive safety and health programs remains the most effective way for businesses to prevent injuries and illness on the job.

Employers’ ‘therapy speak’ often misses the mark: poll

Results of a recently released poll show that workers have trouble trusting employers and supervisors who use “therapy speak” but don’t follow it up with helpful actions.

“Therapy speak” includes statements such as “We understand these are challenging times,” “We’re all in this together” or “We’re like family.” Around two-thirds of the workers polled said they’ve experienced therapy-speak statements at their workplaces.

Harris Poll reports that 71% of employees view these statements as inauthentic – and 69% find them hypocritical. More than half of employees feel resentment toward leadership when therapy speak is used.

“We’re hitting this tipping point of, ‘I’d rather you say nothing at all than say something just to say something without the action to back it up,’” said Abbey Lunney, managing director of thought leadership at Harris Poll. “[When] the CEO email lands incorrectly – it rubs someone the wrong way or whatever it is – it impacts people’s entire relationship with work.

“Employers think that they’re doing a great job … but they’re missing the mark.”

Employees Delaying Medical Care For a Variety of Reasons

Some advice for employers on how they can address this situation.

What impact has delayed care, due to the pandemic, had on employees and how can employers mitigate this?

Let’s look at a recent survey of 5,000 people conducted by Integrated Benefits Institute. Here are some of their findings:

  • Less than 75% of employees are up to date on preventive screenings and immunizations.
  • 58% of employees delayed necessary medical care due to cost or insurance barriers
  • 42% reported delays because there wasn’t an appointment available
  • 35% delayed or avoided care due to fear of getting or spreading COVID-19.

Reasons for not being up to date on preventive screenings included the belief that it wasn’t necessary because “I’m young and healthy” (17%). Others said it was due to costs/can’t afford (14%).

OSHA’s Safe + Sound Campaign is a nationwide opportunity to raise awareness and understanding of the value of proactive occupational safety and health (OSH) programs in all workplaces. Mark your calendars! Safe + Sound Week will take place from August 7-13, 2023. Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America’s workers safe. Registration for Safe + Sound Week opens in early July.  We look forward to your participation!

Safe + Sound emphasizes the need for safety programs at small- and mid-sized businesses, which are more likely to have limited resources dedicated to safety. As you know, effective OSH programs can help organizations identify and manage workplace risk before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Safety and health management systems are a critical best practice to ensure that OSH programs achieve significant results and lower risk exposure.

Halt a Hazard

Workplace hazards can emerge over time. Setting aside time to regularly identify and rank safeguards can help keep safety and health hazards under control and keep workers safe.

  1. Identify ONE hazard to control within your workplace.
  2. Brainstorm potential controls using OSHA’s Identifying Hazard Control Options: The Hierarchy of Controls.
  3. Choose and implement which control(s) are most effective for your workplace.
  4. Download your challenge coin and share that you have completed the Halt a Hazard Challenge via email or on social media using #HaltAHazard and #SafeAndSoundAtWork!

Take the Challenge!

Beat the Heat

Under the OSH Act, employers are responsible for protecting workers from known hazards, including heat. Developing a heat injury and illness prevention plan is vital to keeping workers safe. Highlighting the dangers of heat is an important first step in educating workers and employers on how to prevent and recognize when heat is affecting workers’ health and safety. Since heat illness can be a medical emergency, planning and preparing for heat illness is essential to increase the chances of a positive outcome.

OSHA is sponsoring a Beat the Heat contest to raise awareness about the dangers and hazards of heat exposure in indoor and outdoor workplaces and to motivate workers, employers, and others to take action to prevent heat illness. To participate, stakeholders will create an awareness tool to increase worker and employer knowledge about hazardous heat in the workplace. The contest is open now, and submissions are due by June 9, 2023.

IHMM Recertification Videos

IHMM is pleased to release two YouTube instructional videos about navigating the IHMM recertification process. These step-by-step videos easily enable IHMM certificants to start and complete a recertification application.

While the full recertification cycle is 5 years, IHMM encourages all certificants to start a recertification application and add certification maintenance points as they are earned to make the final submission quick and easy to accomplish.

  • Every CSHM and CSMP should start a recertification application now.
  • Even if your recertification is years away, starting an application now and adding your accumulated points enables you to see where you are all the time and it makes it very easy when you have to file your application

IHMM Scholarship Program

The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management is pleased to have created $32,000 in academic scholarships, divided equally between $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student CHMMs, and $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student ASHMs.

IHMM seeks to foster the growth and academic success of students whose courses of education, and participation in one of our Student certifications, will lead to those students becoming fully-certified IHMM credential holders later in their professional lives.  The first two IHMM Scholarships were awarded before Thanksgiving to Thomas Gerding, Student ASHM, and Ryan Bellacov, Student CHMM! Congratulations to Thomas and Ryan for being our first scholarship award winners.

Retiring? IHMM Invites You to Become an Emeritus

You may have decided, after a long and successful career, to retire from active daily duty. Congratulations. That doesn’t mean you have to completely disengage from your profession. IHMM is pleased to offer Emeritus status to all certificants who will no longer be actively engaged in their communities of practice but who still want to stay in touch. Please let us know when you’re approaching that decision and we will assist you in the credential transition.

Please contact Margaret Toscano at [email protected] and she’ll be happy to help you.

IHMM is a member of ASSP and is pleased to bring this important information to all of its certificants.

HMS Makes Finding Courses to Earn CMPs Easy

Every year more than 1,600 IHMM certificants have to recertify their credentials, evidenced their continuing commitment to improvement and learning to elevate their professional credential.

Earning Certification Maintenance Points [CMPs] is illustrated under Recertification of Your Credential, that includes the Recertification Claims Manual – Appendix A, that details all of the ways a certificant may earn CMPs > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/

Having mastered that manual, how does an IHMM certificant find courses to earn CMPs?

HMS has made that simple and easy.

  1. Go to https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training/
  2. Scroll down until you see a row of buttons…click on the CMPs button

The system will then generate all of the courses on the HMS E&T platform with IHMM CMPs already attached.

The next developments by the HMS E&T committee will refine available courses’ CMPs by individual credential!
