OSHA Safety Training Keeps Eyes on Road with Distractive Driving Issues

At the start of 2011, there were millions of otherwise very good and defensive drivers, populating the highways and by-ways of America’s roads. The only issue that most onlookers had and still have with these good drivers is their almost incessant use of a cell phone or other mobile communication device. This major flaw in the normally correct driving habits of Americans deserved attention from the likes of OSHA safety training professionals, like us here at Online OSHA Safety Training.

OSHA Safety Training

It was only a scant 19 months or so ago that the Georgia legislature joined the heavily publicized countrywide movement to institute a ban on texting or talking in general, with a handset, while driving. Beginning on July 1, 2010, O.C.G.A. § 40-6-241.2 made it extremely illegal for drivers over eighteen years of age to "operate a motor vehicle on any public road or highway of the Peach State while using a wireless telecommunications device to write, send, or read any text based communication, including but not limited to a text message, instant message, e-mail, or Internet data". (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-241.1 likewise prohibits texting while driving for the under eighteen crowd).

Be Safe Be Cool

One of the best methods for learning youre states current legislation and laws on driving while texting is to log onto the proper State-specific legislation site and read all you can about this safety minded legislation. Some fellow OSHA safety-training colleagues used to text as if texting was going out of style and did not bat one eye at the thought of safety while driving. Thank goodness, they saw the light and now fully understand why it is a negative driving behavior to operate anything that requires the use of hands or detracts from the skill that driving demands.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently chipped in on the issue as well. Recognizing the significant number of workers who spend most of their workdays on the highway-visiting clients and customers, the Department of Labor through OSHA announced its "Distracted Driving Initiative". What this details is the changing of the driving habits for all the OSHA employees, as safety is the final determinant of the organization, after all!

Goal For 2012 - North American Wind Farms and Worker Health and Safety Important Topic in OSHA Safety Training

The wind industry is fastly becoming one of the mainstream forms of non-traditional electricity generation in North America. The safety and health factors, that are essential to a productive yield in the wind farming sector, are ingrained in most of the OSHA safety training courses. These courses are found online and onsite, for a select few firms and educational sites.

Green Energy Technologies

Onsite safety courses, such as the ones offered at Online OSHA Safety Training, have always detailed the, across the board, safety issues. What is important to realize is that with the new and increasingly apparent green energy technologies, there are certain, safety and health features, which must be now included in the onsite courses.

Losing Crude Oil Dreams  

To take a quick peek, into the numbers for the wind farm enterprises, that are populating high wind, shear cliffs, and pastoral acres upon acres, of previously empty and barren land sites, the impudence will be on total production. This may seem a bit new and maybe different for those that are used to counting barrels of oil or sweet crude on a container ship from Saudi Arabia, but eventually, all of these numbers and figures will start to become second-nature.

Keeping Workers Safe From All Types of Worksite Injuries

OSHA safety is all about keeping workers safe from all types of worksite injuries. The wind farm industry has many areas of safety and health concern that are being addressed as Online OSHA Safety Training at this very time. Have you seen the size of those turbines and the blades on the windmills? Massive is an understatement and the safety realm has taken notice especially the Department of Labor and OSHA.

40k MW of Installed Capacity

The daily capacity load, for an average wind farm in North America, stands at 40,000 MW (Millawatts). That is a great deal of energy and something that in itself stands to reason for safety and health of the workers on the farms. The wind farming industry is so new and growing that it is a difficult aspect to form the new rules and regulations for health and safety specific to the wind sector.

North American Wind Farms

The simple fact exists that North American wind farms are unlike any other existing infrastructure. There are no industry standards set for wind technicians, yet. What is being forced to happen is that the wind farm is forced to design and utilize their own safety strategies based on best practices. These instances of improvised rules and regulations, for wind farming, have met varying degrees of success. In the worst cases, large fines have been handed out to culpable wind farming parties and for this; we only have to direct those farmers to Online OSHA Safety Training.
