OSHA Seeks Feedback on Effectiveness of Leading Indicators to Improve, Develop Resource Tool

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration is asking for stakeholder input on their current use of leading indicators and their impact on managing their safety and health management systems. Leading indicators are proactive and preventive measures that can provide insight on the effectiveness of safety and health activities and reveal potential problems. They are vital in reducing worker fatalities, injuries, illnesses, and financial impacts.

As OSHA considers developing a Leading Indicators Resource, the agency welcomes stakeholders to share their experience and expertise and provide detailed feedback on how/where they are used at their workplace. OSHA is interested in various perspectives on stakeholders’ answers to questions, such as the following:

  • What leading indicators do you use?
  • What lagging indicators do you use (OSHA incident rates, for example)?
  • What leading indicators are, or could be, commonly used in your industry?
  • What metrics do you share with top management?
  • How do you determine the effectiveness of your leading indicators?
  • Do you link your leading indicators to outcome data, such as OSHA incident rates to evaluate results?
  • How could employers be encouraged to use leading indicators in addition to lagging indicators to improve safety management systems?
  • What barriers and challenges, if any, have you encountered to using leading indicators?

Individuals may submit comments at regulations.gov by July 17, 2023, which is the Federal eRulemaking Portal, identified by docket number OSHA-2023-0006. For more information, see the OSHA Trade Release.

2022 TRI Reporting Deadline Is July 1, 2023 — What Is New This Year?

Each year about this time, companies are focused on the deadline to submit Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This year is no different as the July 1, 2023, deadline is rapidly approaching. By this date, entities subject to the reporting requirement must submit data for activities that occurred during 2022. Companies are required to report if they meet chemical activity thresholds and are either in a covered industry sector and exceed the employee threshold; or are specifically required to report based on a determination by EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313(b)(2). EPA’s TRI Threshold Screening Tool can help companies determine if they are subject to TRI reporting. The tool uses a step-by-step questionnaire to help companies determine whether they meet or exceed the facility, employee, and chemical thresholds established by EPA. For more information, please read the full memorandum.

Protecting Workers During National Safety Month

June marks the beginning of National Safety Month, which focuses on raising public awareness of the leading safety and health risks for workers and aims to decrease the number of injuries and fatalities in workplaces. While safety is important year-round, observances such as National Safety Month are paramount to raising awareness about safety and health hazards and creating an environment where workers and organizations can put safety first.

A safety-first workplace environment focuses on eliminating the leading causes of preventable injuries and deaths. By creating awareness of the risks and hazards and educating workers to conduct tasks safely, solutions can be made to help eliminate on-site risks.

In safety plans, PPE should be considered the last line of defense against injury. But while it is viewed as the last line of defense, it is still crucial to have head-to-toe PPE. Indeed, head-to-toe protection starts at the top. This National Safety Month, let’s review the head, face and eye protection needed when it comes to staying protected on the job.

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.”

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.

Other State and Federal Activities

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

Current Priorities April-June 2023

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

Regulatory Updates

Notice of Public Meetings in 2023 for International Standards on the Transport of Dangerous Goods

PHMSA’s Office of Hazardous Materials Safety will be hosting public forums in advance of four international meetings, to allow the public to give input on current proposals being considered by the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) and the United Nations Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNSCOE TDG). The international meetings include:

  • The 62nd session of the UNSCOE TDG, scheduled for July 3 to July 7, 2023, in Geneva, Switzerland
  • The 29th session of the ICAO TDG, scheduled for November 13 to 17, 2023, in Montreal, Canada
  • The 63rd session of the UNSCOE TDG, scheduled for November 27 to December 6, 2023, in Geneva, Switzerland

Each of these public meetings will be held approximately two weeks before the corresponding international meeting. Specific information for each meeting, including date, time, conference call-in number, and details for advance registration will be posted when available on the PHMSA website under “Upcoming Events.” These meetings will be virtual, with hybrid options available as possible, pending public health guidelines.

The Federal Register announcement can be found here.

Fallout From Sackett Continues, States Grapple With Ozone Emissions

State and other officials continue to grapple with the effects of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Sackett v. EPA that scaled back the reach of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Eastern states are meeting to discuss measures to curb ozone emissions as EPA’s Good Neighbor Rule faces significant challenges.

WOTUS

The National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM) is holding a June 14 webinar to discuss the implications of the Supreme Court’s landmark Sackett ruling for protection of wetlands and other waterbodies. In its 5-4 ruling, the high court narrowed the test for determining when wetlands are “waters of the United States” under the CWA, holding generally that the term only applies to waters that have a “relatively permanent” connection to navigable waters.

Many environmentalists have warned that the ruling will gut protections for wetlands as well as many other waters. Speakers include Jon Devine, director of federal water policy at the Natural Resources Defense Council, Donna Downing, NAWM’s senior legal policy advisor who previously served as jurisdiction team leader in EPA’s Office of Water, and Pat Parenteau, professor of law emeritus at Vermont Law School.

The Environmental Law Institute will also host a discussion of WOTUS issues during its June 15 webinar on CWA “basics.”

Ozone

The Ozone Transport Commission (OTC), the group of air officials from 12 Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states, will meet virtually June 14 at its annual meeting to discuss mobile and stationary source emissions driving ozone pollution in the region. At an April stakeholder meeting, the group discussed heavy-duty vehicle standards and catalytic converter standards, emissions inventories and reasonably available control technology (RACT) for stationary sources, among other issues. Officials may also discuss EPA’s newly expanded Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which is facing significant legal challenges that are raising doubts about the agency’s ability to craft a unified national policy.

Plastics

EPA is slated to receive comments through June 16 on its “Draft National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution,” which seeks to implement bipartisan congressional mandates for reducing plastics in waterways and overall environmental harms from that waste. Industry groups have already raised significant concerns the agency is stretching its statutory basis by focusing more on cutting use of plastic goods and reworking their design than disposal, while raising new concerns about potential tightening of controls on pyrolysis, a controversial destruction technology.

The Senate environment committee’s Chemical Safety, Waste Management, Environmental Justice, and Regulatory Oversight subcommittee is holding a June 15 hearing on the impacts of plastic production and disposal on environmental justice communities.

Vehicle Standards

Comments are due June 16 on EPA’s GHG standards for heavy-duty vehicles beginning in model year 2027, one of several closely watched vehicle standards proposed in recent months.

EPA recently rebuffed multiple requests to extend the comment deadline for the truck GHG proposal, and in a similar dynamic it rejected calls for more time to comment on its separate multi-pollutant proposal for passenger vehicles. Comments are due July 5 for that plan.

Resources for the Future on June 12 and 13 will host a workshop on zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) sales mandates, discussing research for effective, efficient, and equitable policy implementation.

Lead

A special panel of EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) will meet in person and virtually in Raleigh, NC, June 13 and 14 to discuss EPA’s draft integrated science assessment (ISA) supporting its review of the lead national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The ISA, published March 31, finds that scientific evidence for several of lead’s harmful health effects is stronger than before, in addition to identifying some new effects, even as air exposures have fallen.

Public comments on the ISA are also due by June 13.

Environmental Justice

The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC) is meeting June 13-15 in Phoenix where its members will hear updates from EPA and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) on key issues and will also discuss draft recommendations on EPA’s pending NAAQS for particulate matter and ozone, as well as for climate planning, preparedness, response, recovery and impacts.

Capitol Hill

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is holding a June 14 hearing entitled, “Death by a Thousand Regulations: The Biden Administration’s Campaign to Bury America in Red Tape.”

The House Rules Committee meets June 12 to again consider several bills including two that would prohibit rules affecting gas stoves and others curbing agency regulations more broadly. The House Republican majority is trying again to bring the measures to the floor after a group of conservative lawmakers last week blocked a procedural vote that would have allowed them to advance, in response to the recent debt ceiling law.

Toxicity Testing

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) is holding a June 16 event to release a long-awaited report on chemical tests that officials hope will help build “confidence” in new approach methods (NAMs) of testing, like computational toxicology. According to the committee’s description of the report, it “reviews the variability and relevance of existing mammalian toxicity tests, specifically when it comes to human health risk assessment,” and includes “findings for data-driven and science-based expectations” for NAMs.

Billions of $$ for Hazmat Remediation Projects Nationwide

The United States faces a constant barrage of potentially dangerous hazardous material-driven events: one of the most recent being a New Jersey fire in a one-time industrial facility. Add to that, the nation faces global warming, environmental degradation, and other major ecosystem challenges.

But there is some good news: billions of dollars are flowing to support improvements to the nation’s environmental health. The cash comes courtesy of 2021’s federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and other related legislation.

Community leaders and environmentalists have long been seeking government funding for remediation projects, clean water, green energy, and more. In the past two years, they have seen some of their wishes come true thanks to Congressional action. Besides putting money into ports, green tech, and other high-profile projects, the legislation also targets so called “legacy” pollution involving hazardous materials.

Scaled-Back NEPA Changes Raise Questions On Broader Permitting Deal

Lawmakers’ enactment of relatively scaled-back changes to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as part of the debt-ceiling bill is raising questions about whether Congress can reach a broader bipartisan deal on permitting policy, even as the move paves the way for the White House to issue a long-awaited update to NEPA implementing rules.

Possible topics that could be addressed in a subsequent permitting bill include provisions easing build-out of transmission lines needed for clean power, as well as industry requests to further streamline NEPA procedures such as limits on judicial review, as well as possible changes to Clean Water Act (CWA) requirements.

But some observers are wondering whether the initial changes to NEPA — included as part of an agreement President Joe Biden reached with House Republicans to suspend the debt ceiling — might sap momentum for a broader permitting deal:

Debt Deal Prompts Calls For Next Steps On Transmission, Amid Doubts
The debt limit agreement’s omission of provisions to speed construction of power transmission is prompting calls for lawmakers to redouble their efforts on the issue, even as some observers say the deal may make a future bill more difficult by enacting less-controversial permitting provisions that could have been used as bargaining chips.

“They did the smart and easy stuff,” said American Clean Power Association President Jason Grumet, during a May 31 event hosted by Punchbowl News and sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

But “we are not going to have a modern energy future unless we have really significant changes in the way we deal with transmission and also [pipelines],” Grumet added.

The remarks are consistent with appraisals that the NEPA changes in the debt bill are relatively modest — at least in comparison with other proposals from Republicans left on the cutting room floor.

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.

Enter the Contest!

Let Your Voice Be Heard: Safety as a Core Workplace Value Learning Conversation

OSHA is holding a National Learning Conversation that will provide a forum for OSHA to collect insights from workplaces and to identify needs, challenges, and best practices for adoption of safety and health as a core workplace value.

Registration for the National Listening Conversation is now open! The conversation will be held on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at the US Department of Labor, Francis Perkins Building in Washington, DC. OSHA plans to use this meeting to establish an open dialogue with stakeholders and is interested in receiving feedback. You must register in advance to present comments in-person during the meeting.

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.

IHMM  – 26 Fellows Are Mentors 

IHMM Fellows Committee Chair Atanu Das, CHMM, is leading the effort within the IHMM Collaboration networking platform to engage both 26 IHMM Fellows as Mentors and anyone who seeks some assistance as Mentees.

Given the extraordinary experience Fellows have, this is a unique opportunity for IHMM Fellows to help guide more recent certificants in their professional development activities. This article from ASAE magazine outlines how a mentoring program can become more successful – engagement!

IHMM’s Collaboration platform contains a “Mentor Match” module [see below at right] that allows mentors to signup designating the hours, number of mentees, subject areas, and length of time they wish to mentor – as well as allowing mentees to signup requesting assistance in specified areas. The mentor match module does the rest by matching mentors and mentees.

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.

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 Jimmy Nguyen at [email protected] and he’ll be happy to help you.

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 392 CHMM applicants IHMM had on April 4, 2023, all 392 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 392 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!

It’s never too late to make a difference, so don’t let this opportunity to make a difference pass you by. Please consider a tax-deductible donation of $250, $500 or what you can to help build HMS’s effort to help others in our communities of practice.
