2020 Stand-Down Focal Point:Fall Prevention
• Making it personal
• Stories of how fall prevention saves lives
Hard Hats and PPE in Construction
Silica Partnership Field Studies
❑ 15 NIOSH technical reports of Partnership field studies over 11 years in 7 states
▪ 50 different water-spray and ventilation control designs were evaluated
▪ Most studies showed reductions in dust exposures▪ All 15 NIOSH technical reports available online at:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/surveyreports/
OSHA Silica Standard: Construction
Exposure Control Methods
• Table 1 in the construction standard matches 18 tasks with effective dust control methods and, in some cases, respirator requirements.
• Employers that fully and properly implement controls on Table 1 do not have to:
• Comply with the PEL
• Conduct exposure assessments for employees engaged in those tasks
Support for OSHA Silica Standard Table 1 Expansion
• Led the NIOSH response to update and expand Table 1
• Additional Exposure Control Methods for Equipment or Tasks Listed on Table 1
• Additional Equipment or Tasks to Include on Table 1
Noise and Hearing Loss Prevention
• Almost three-quarters (73%) of construction workers were exposed to noise levels above the recommended exposure level (REL) set by NIOSH.
• Ironworkers had the highest exposures to noise levels, with 86% above the NIOSH REL. (CPWR 2016)
• Construction workers in an urban environment are at or near the OSHA PEL most of the time.

NIOSH Confronts the Opioid Crisis

Opioids in the Workplace - Resources
Published Oct. 2018Published May 2019Revised April 2019
Opioids in Construction
Opioids-Work links
• Lack of employment
• Insecure employment
• Hazardous work & injury, pain
• Wages and working conditions
• Lack of benefits/paid sick leave
• Cultural and geographic differences
NIOSH funded CPWR (Sept 2019) to address opioids in construction
• produce an improved opioid-related awareness-training program for construction
• produce a document / report detailing the groundwork to design and promote a peer advocacy and support network for the construction trades
• produce a report to frame optimal communication strategies to close the gap between current expert recommendations and the public’s and industry’s (workers and employers) perceptions of the problem and their related solutions
• Video 1: What the problem is.
• Video 2: Experiences that led the workers into addiction & impact addiction has had on the worker, their families & co-workers
• Video 3: Recommendations for how employers can help

Construction Focus Four
The actual breakdown of the causes of fatalities on construction sites in 2018 is as follows (numbers are a percentage of the 1,008 total construction-related fatalities that occurred in 2018):
▪ Falls: 338 (33.5%);
▪ Struck by object: 112 (11.1%);
▪ Electrocutions: 86 (8.5%);
▪ Caught in/between: 55 (5.5%).
Note: These "Fatal Four" were responsible for more than half (58.6%) the construction worker deaths in 2018, BLS reports. Eliminating the Fatal Four would save 591 workers' lives in America every year.

New A92 Consensus Standards
A92 Aerial Lifts / Scissor Lifts
▪ Does OSHA require me to comply with the new A92.20, A92.22, and A92.24?
– NO. This would have to be done through rulemaking. Compliance is voluntary with this new consensus standard.
– However, as a general matter, OSHA may reference industry standards for establishing industry recognition of a hazard and existence of feasible abatement measures to support violations of the General Duty Clause where an OSHA standard is not applicable. For the purposes of utilizing A92, OSHA is limited to using the Incorporation by Reference (IBR) for aerial lifts contained in A92.2 (1969).
