AIHA and IHMM Collaborate on Education and Training

The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management [IHMM] and the American Industrial Hygiene Association [AIHA] have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding granting access to AIHA education and training assets to IHMM certificants.

IHMM’s Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM®], Certified Hazardous Materials Practitioner [CHMP®], Certified Safety and Health Manager [CSHM®], and Certified Safety Management Practitioner [CSMP®] credential blueprints all have components of industrial hygiene disciplines and the access of IHMM’s certificants to the AIHA education and training programs vastly strengthens those credentials and the professionals who hold them.

In the coming weeks look for these AIHA programs to be added to the IHMM foundation’s education programs at the Hazardous Materials Society [HMS]. IHMM organized its HMS foundation to, in part, provide access to the best education and training programs available and the addition of AIHA programs is a tremendous addition to support for IHMM credentials.

IHMM thanks AIHA for this collaboration in education and training and looks forward to a long and productive relationship.

Why many organizations are retiring the Hard Hat….

The battle lines have been drawn, between those who believe that the old sturdy iconic hard hat should be the primary form and head protection and those who believe that the hard hat needs to report to the Smithsonian for duty.  Many times, this debate gets heated.  I am amazed at the anger of some who claim they will quit the profession if forced to wear a helmet vs a hard hat.  Additionally, I am stunned at some safety professionals who protect the hard hat usage based on cost and culture and not safety performance.  When faced with this vitriol I believe its because someone has not taken the time to educate both groups as to the why behind this movement.

Last year 850 workers died from falls.  An additional 240,000 were injured from falls.  Over the past 5 years that amounts to 4,213 fatalities and 1.2 Million injuries.  According to the CDC traumatic brain injuries account for 47% of all fall fatalities.  Imagine if we could have saved almost half of the fatalities and injuries?  How many families would still have their husband or wife and kids have their parents?

2023 National Safety Stand Down to Prevent Falls in Construction

As recently announced, the 10th Annual National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction will occur May 1-5, 2023 and we wanted to alert you to the following tools and resources to assist workplaces in preparing for and participating in the Stand-Down:

As a reminder, anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. See Highlights from the Past Stand-Downs and reports evaluating previous events.

Pay Transparency Brings in Stronger Job Applicants

A new survey showed that 70% of organizations saw more candidates and 66% received more qualified candidates.

There has been much discussion about pay transparency recently especially given the fact that several states and localities are implementing new laws in this area.

Earlier this week, The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) released new research detailing how organizations are approaching pay transparency.

Some employers have raised concerns that listing pay ranges may lead to negative outcomes such as candidates not taking the total compensation into consideration, but SHRM research shows most organizations that list salary ranges lead to favorable outcomes.

Around 42% of more than 1,300 HR professionals sampled said their organization operates in a location that requires pay ranges to be included in job postings. When not required by law, however, over two in three (67%) HR professionals say their organization voluntarily lists start pay in their job postings sometimes, often, or always. What’s more, 32% of these organizations began including start pay information in their job postings within the past year – signaling some employers may be planning ahead in anticipation of new pay transparency trends.

National Ladder Safety Month is Here – Here is what you need to know to stay safe when working with ladders

Did you know that more than 22,000 people across the U.S. are injured while using ladders each year? And, unfortunately, 161 people suffered a fatal injury from a ladder in 2020. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 65% of those ladder fatalities came from movable ladders.

March is National Ladder Safety Month, a national program dedicated exclusively to promoting ladder safety at home and work, created by the American Ladder Institute in 2017. While the number of ladder-related deaths has declined in recent years, decreasing by 12% from 2016 to 2020, even a single injury or death from a ladder fall is one too many. By providing critical guidelines and raising awareness on safe use, we can help decrease these numbers.

In construction alone, there were 5,370 ladder injuries in 2020. These injuries come at a cost – not only for workers and their health but also for employers. A 2018 workplace safety survey in the U.S. found that $17+ billion is spent on falls that result from working at height. There are many other industries that can benefit from ladder safety training too, like maintenance, transportation or material moving, and forestry, to name a few.

How to Manage Workers’ Comp for Remote Workers

You can’t just “phone it in” with workers’ comp when it comes to remote workers.

Many things about our daily lives have returned to normal as we have come out of the pandemic. But there is one change that is likely never to go back to the old ways, and that is employees working from home.

Much has been asked about managing remote employees effectively: Are they putting in the hours? Are they as accessible? Is the lack of employee interaction a detriment? Are they staying in their pajamas all day (okay, maybe that one’s not as important)? But what can’t be ignored is how a “remote workplace” impacts an employer’s workers’ compensation.

Let’s explore some key areas that every employer needs to stay aware of.

  1. Where are they working from within their home?
  2. Where are they working within the country?
  3. When are they working?

Dallas Church Must Reinstate, Pay Back Wages to ‘Wrongfully Fired’ Employee, OSHA Says

The employee was terminated after raising concerns about conditions at a childcare facility.

A nutrition specialist employed by a church was “wrongfully fired” in 2021, but now, more than a year and a half later, OSHA said the employer must reinstate them and pay back wages.

The specialist, who worked for a childcare facility run by New Mount Zion Baptist Church in Dallas, “raised concerns about rodents, spiders and other insects in its cafeteria, kitchen and other areas” before being terminated in August 2021, per a news release.

On March 16, 2023, OSHA announced that it found New Mount Zion Baptist Church in violation of the Food Safety Modernization Act and is requiring the employee to be paid “back wages, interest and compensatory damages,” the agency said. The church must also reinstate the employee.

“New Mount Zion Baptist Church’s actions toward the employee are unacceptable and deeply concerning,” said OSHA Regional Administrator Eric S. Harbin in Dallas in the news release.

“The existence of rodents and insects in food preparation and serving areas poses a health hazard. The employee had the legal right to express apprehensions about the unhygienic surroundings and should not have been fired for doing so,” Harbin continued.

Department of Labor Seeks Court Order To Stop Brooklyn Staffing Agency From Demanding Employees Stay 3 Years or Repay Wages

Employer allegedly sought arbitration to force employees to cover future profits

The U.S. Department of Labor has filed suit asking a federal court to stop a Brooklyn, New York, healthcare staffing provider from allegedly making employees sign contracts that would force them to work for the company for three years or repay rightfully earned wages.

Filed today in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York by the department’s Office of the Solicitor, the complaint against Advanced Care Staffing LLC and its CEO, Sam Klein alleges that the contracts led some employees to earn less than the federal minimum wage, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

“Federal law forbids employers from clawing back wages earned by employees, for employers’ own benefit,” said Solicitor of Labor Seema Nanda. “Employers cannot use workers as insurance policies to unconditionally guarantee future profit streams. Nor can employers use arbitration agreements to shield unlawful practices. The Department of Labor will do everything in its power to make sure employees are being paid their hard-earned wages, and to safeguard them from these types of exploitative practices.”

The department’s complaint seeks an injunction forbidding ACS and Klein from reducing employees’ wages below federal minimums, whether by demanding employees enter into contracts requiring them to cover ACS’ future profits, attorneys’ fees or costs associated with arbitration, or by enforcing such contracts.

OSHA Proposes Over $500K in Penalties for Nebraska Company After Worker Asphyxiation

The grain-handling company was also issued citations for 16 violations—including two willful—following the September 2022 incident.

A Nebraska grain-handling company is facing citations for 16 violations along with more than $500,000 in proposed penalties after the death of a worker.

Last September, a 34-year-old worker who had been cleaning out a corn silo suffocated when the corn engulfed him, according to a news release.

OSHA discovered that the worker was using inadequate PPE for the setting and did not have “an adequate body harness and lifeline that co-workers could have used to rescue him,” the agency said.

Per OSHA, CHS Inc., which does business as Agri-Service Center Roseland, was cited for “allowing workers to enter bins with grain build-up” as well as “failing to:”

  • develop procedures for entering permit-required confined spaces,
  • ensure emergency services were available,
  • recognize and evaluate hazards and train workers and
  • implement machine safety procedures to prevent grain bin equipment from running while workers were inside bins.

Getting a Handle on Health Inequity in the Workplace

There are a number of specific action steps that employers can take to address this issue.

Health inequity is not a concept that everyone is familiar with, but it is an issue that employers need to address.

To understand the inequity part, let’s first look at what health equity is. The CDC defines the term as the state in which “every person has the opportunity to attain his or her full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.”

When groups of people do not have the same access to health care disease statistics differ.

In an article co-authored by Ellen Kelsay, President & CEO of Business Group on Health, the following statistics demonstrate health inequity.

  • Black persons are 30% more likely than non-Hispanic whites to die from heart disease.
  • Native Americans and Alaska Natives have an infant mortality rate that is 60% higher than the rate for their white counterparts.
  • Hispanic women are 40% more likely to have cervical cancer and 30% more likely to die from cervical cancer than non-Hispanic white women.
  • Adults with disabilities are four times as likely as adults without disabilities to report having fair or poor health.

Modern Technology and Improvements in Workplace Safety

From safety apps to facial recognition, employers have many options to invest in.

In the U.S. alone, there were about 2.7 million work-related injuries and illnesses in 2020. Of those, 4,764 were fatal. It just goes to show that even in stable workplace environments, you can still expect the same level of risk, lethal or otherwise. So, it’s crucial that companies continue to increase the levels of workplace safety, and modern technology can greatly help achieve that.

In this article, you will learn of some ways in which modern, cutting-edge technology can help improve safety in the workplace. Most of this technology is already being successfully implemented in practice. Keep in mind that these innovations can be used across all industries and that their implementation will differ depending on where you work.

Federal Investigation Find Algood Restaurant Illegally Used Worker’ Tips For Operating Expenses, Allowed Minors To Operate Dangerous Machines

Recovers $42K for 44 workers, assesses Red Oak Roasters $9K penalty for child labor violations

The U.S. Department of Labor has recovered $42,373 for 44 employees after finding an Algood restaurant illegally kept tips that employees earned.

The department’s Wage and Hour Division found McCurdy Enterprises LLC – operating as Red Oak Roasters – withheld the tips and used that money to inflate hourly wages by dividing it among workers, including managers. Investigators also found Red Oak Roasters incorrectly classified a salaried employee as exempt from overtime. By doing so, the employer failed to pay overtime premiums to this employee for hours over 40 in a workweek.

“What Red Oak Roasters did is wage theft, plain and simple. Tips are the property of the employees who earn them and rewards them for providing good service to customers,” said Wage and Hour District Director Lisa Kelly in Nashville, Tennessee. “Employers have no right to keep those earned tips and use them to reduce their cost of doing business.”

In addition, the division found the employer allowed five minor-aged employees to engage in prohibited and hazardous activities by operating a vertical dough mixing machine, a violation of the federal child labor standards. The division assessed Red Oak Roasters a $9,900 civil penalty to address the child labor violations.

Women In Construction Share Their Experiences In New Report

Alachua, FL — The construction industry must “change the culture and perception of our industry” to recruit and retain women, concludes a new white paper.

That includes addressing discrimination and sexual harassment, ensuring consistent hiring practices, and accommodating working mothers, according to the National Center for Construction Education and Research’s report – released March 6.

NCCER conducted focus groups with 176 tradeswomen from across the country and analyzed survey responses from 770 women in construction. The women shared the unique obstacles they face and offered advice on improving the experience for women in the profession.

When asked if they agree or disagree with the statement, “At the place I work, I am treated with respect,” 20% of the survey respondents disagreed. More than a third (35%) said they’ve been put down or addressed in unprofessional terms – either publicly or in private.

Top 4 Projects in February, 2023
  • NY Department of Labor rulemaking concerning the recognition of the CSHM and CSMP
  • Work with Eric Vega in Puerto Rico concerning credential recognition
  • Review of the Governor of Nevada’s Executive Order concerning licensing boards and potential for recognition of the CHMM
  • Scheduling meetings with the Maryland Congressional delegation concerning the Certified Pandemic Preparedness Specialist [CPPS] credential

In 2019 Mark Bruce from AHMP and Gene Guilford from IHMM worked on a project to get the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to recognize the CHMM and CDGT credentials. With Mark’s work on the ground in  Pennsylvania, we succeeded. The 45 in 5 Project is for ALL IHMM credentials. This summer we have worked on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers health and safety manual that recognizes the CSHM and CSMP credentials. We are working with a CSHM in New York on their Department of Labor recognizing the CSHM.

  • 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 2021 Mark at AHMP and Gene at IHMM has launched 45 in 5, getting the other 45 states to recognize our credentials in 5 years. If we can find a volunteer like Mark in other states [see above] we can work with those volunteers on crafting the right message to the right agencies in state governments across the country. If we find enough volunteers we can get this done in less than 5 years.

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

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.

Registration Open – June 5-7, San Antonio

IHMM GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree Deakins

Walsh Exits. March 10, 2023, marked Marty Walsh’s last day as U.S. secretary of labor. The duties of the secretary are now being handled by Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, who is waiting on the U.S. Senate to act on her nomination to be the secretary on a permanent basis. During his tenure, Walsh oversaw the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) withdrawal of the 2020 Fair Labor Standards Act joint-employer rule, the promulgation of a new tip credit rule, a potential new independent contractor standard, ramped-up enforcement protocols at the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), and the failed Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) COVID-19 vaccine-or-test rule.

Michigan Readies Repeal of Right-to-Work Law. Elections have consequences: this week, the Michigan Senate approved legislation that would repeal the state’s right-to-work law, which was enacted in 2012. Assuming the legislature is able to iron out differences between the Senate’s bill and the bill already passed by the Michigan House of Representatives, Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) is expected to sign the legislation into law. Right-to-work laws allow for voluntary unionism by prohibiting the conditioning of employment on joining or paying fees to a labor union. Christopher R. Mikula has the details.

Senators to USCIS: Fee Proposal Hurts Small Biz. This week, a bipartisan group of senators wrote to leaders of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) about their concerns with regard to USCIS’s proposed increased fee schedule. The senators wrote:

We are alarmed, however, that the fee increases will be particularly burdensome for small businesses relying on H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant visas to meet their workforce needs. As you know, we are at a time when many in our country are suffering from a severe labor shortage and persistent inflation. It is irresponsible to so drastically increase the price to access these essential guest worker programs while doing nothing to increase their availability. As you draft a final rule, we urge you to reconsider the dramatic proposed H-2A and H-2B visa fee hikes and make sure that we are doing everything possible to support small businesses.

Regulators often claim that all comments on regulatory proposals are taken seriously, but the Buzz has a feeling that joint comments from Democratic and Republican senators will be taken juuuuust a bit more seriously. The comment period for the proposal closed on March 13, 2023.

OFCCP FOIA Deadline. Today, March 17, 2023, is the last day for federal contractors and subcontractors to notify OFCCP that they do not belong on the Second Updated List (published on March 10, 2023) of entities that have failed to object to the agency’s release of their EEO-1 data pursuant to a media Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. After the expiration of today’s deadline, OFCCP will publish the EEO-1 Type 2 data of nonobjecting contractors and subcontractors on its webpage. Importantly, the agency is quick to note that it “has not yet made any determinations regarding the substance or merit of these entities’ responses or objections” but has merely excluded objectors from this initial disclosure.

OFCCP’s Mega Construction Program. Speaking of OFCCP, the agency announced this week the launch of its Mega Construction Project Program. The program was created in anticipation of projects arising from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and will cover projects valued at $35 million or more that are expected to last at least one year. According to an OFCCP reference sheet, once a project is deemed a “Megaproject,” OFCCP will insert itself at “earliest stages” to “engage[] a wide range of stakeholders in the community to remove hiring barriers and promote consideration of a diverse pool of qualified workers for jobs in the trades.” As the Buzz has previously noted, OFCCP Director Jenny Yang has made the construction industry one of her areas of focus, whether it is through the contract award portal or agency enforcement efforts.

EEOC Sees Increased Numbers of Charges. This week, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released its Fiscal Year 2022 Annual Performance Report (APR). The report comes days after President Biden released his fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget request and arrives just in time for government appropriations season. The report highlights that in FY 2022:

  • The Commission received 73,485 new discrimination charges—an uptick of nearly 20 percent compared to the previous fiscal year.
  • The Commission filed 91 lawsuits, “including 53 suits on behalf of individuals, 25 non-systemic suits with multiple victims, and 13 systemic suits involving multiple victims or discriminatory policies.” This number is down from the 116 lawsuits the Commission filed in FY 2021.
  • The Commission filled 352 new positions and ended the year with 2,187 employees (the Commission had 2,110 employees at the end of FY 2021).
  • The Commission had 51,399 pending charges remaining at the end of the fiscal year.

HMS Launches New Certified Safety Management Practitioner® [CSMP®] Exam Prep Course

The Hazardous Materials Society is pleased to announce that it is launching a new CSMP examination prep course. The CSMP prep course follows the launch in 2021 of the successful CSHM prep course in an agreement with VUBIZ.

The CSMP exam prep course is available on demand online, and is linked in the schedule below as well as on the IHMM CSMP website and under the CSMP hotbutton CSMP PREP on the HMS Education and Training webpage.

IHMM and HMS Tie Exam Preparation Together for Applicants

Every IHMM certification that requires an examination has a section of its website entitled Examination Preparation.

Connected to the Examination Preparation panel is a companion panel that is Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam.

You see the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel from the CHMM site at left.

When you click on the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel it takes the applicant directly to the HMS site where all CHMM prep courses may be found and chosen.

For the 397 CHMM applicants IHMM had on August 31, 2022, all 397 looking for CHMM prep courses could see and chose their favored CHMM exam prep course. If your course is not on the HMS platform, none of the 397 CHMM applicants could find you.

If you want your CHMM prep course on the HMS platform so it can be found by IHMM CHMM applicants, contact Gene Guilford at [email protected]

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!
