The dumping of hazardous waste poses a significant threat to the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 1995 data show that EPA managed about 277 million metric tons of hazardous waste at licensed Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) sites.(1) Hazardous waste is a serious safety and health problem that continues to endanger human and animal life and environmental quality. Hazardous waste -- discarded chemicals that are toxic, flammable or corrosive -- can cause fires,...

There is very little published information available about occupational safety and health libraries. This study identified, described, and compared the occupational safety and health libraries in the United States. The questionnaire first filtered out those libraries that did not fit the definition of an occupational safety and health library; only those managers whose libraries fit the definition were asked to complete the entire questionnaire. The study investigated five areas: (1) library...

The peak (temporal) value of the electric field maximum permissible exposure to high-peak-power ultrashort pulsed electromagnetic fields, 100 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz, of 100 kilovolt per meter was established in 1971 as a provisional limit by the United States Air Force. This limit impacted directed energy systems. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Research Task Group (RTG HFM-189)found this ultra-conservative limit had neither underlying biological mechanism nor adverse health...

As of September 2010, the U.S. manufacturing sector grew for the 14th consecutive month, leading some economists to speculate that, as with the Great Depression, American manufacturing will lead the economy out of the recession. It is a little bit of good news in a long stream of depressing employment reports. Career and technical educators contribute to the growth of this sector by training career-ready graduates for increasingly high-skilled manufacturing jobs. However, skills are not the...

The meatpacking industry (Standard Industrial Classification 2011), which employs over 100,000 workers, is considered to be one of the most hazardous industries in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), this industry has had the highest injury rate of any industry in the country for five consecutive years (1980-1985), with a rate three times that of other manufacturing industries. BLS studies have also shown that for 1985, 319 workers were injured during the first...

The occupational health and safety program (OHSP) is an integral component of an animal care and use program. Exposures of animal care and research personnel to allergens and physical, chemical, radiological, and biological hazards can occur in the conduct of various tasks, thus it is important to mitigate the risk of such exposures. This is especially true in infectious disease and biocontainment research. One aspect of the program is the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE)....

As an employer, you have a duty to protect your workers from injury and illness on the job. Protecting workers also makes good business sense. Accidents and injuries are more expensive than many realize. Costs mount up quickly. But substantial savings in workers' compensation and lost workdays are possible when injuries and illness decline. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can help you.

There are thousands of labor-management committees for occupational safety and health in the United States. Most were established or activated after passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Such committees can be an important tool when used as part of a comprehensive effort to achieve safety and health in the workplace. In the United States, labor-management committees are unlikely to have substantial authority or power. Rather, they are generally advisory in nature--usually...
