From the NSC Congress & Expo in Houston as published in Safety & Health Magazine:
Fall Protection is OSHA’s most frequently cited standard for the eighth consecutive year, the agency and Safety+Health announced Tuesday at the 2018 National Safety Council Congress & Expo.
Patrick Kapust, deputy director of OSHA’s Directorate of Enforcement Programs, presented preliminary data for OSHA’s Top 10 most-cited violations for fiscal year 2018, which ended Sept. 30. Kevin Druley, associate editor for S+H, moderated the session.
The top five violations remained unchanged for the fourth straight year, with Hazard Communication, Scaffolding, Respiratory Protection and Lockout/Tagout following Fall Protection, respectively.
Eye and Face Protection emerged as a newcomer, ranking 10th.
“The Top 10 represents the most frequently cited standards, and they are a good place to start for the employer in identifying hazards in their own workplace," Kapust said during the presentation. For a complete Top 10 list, click here.
