New Webpage Provides Updates on Protecting Workers from Legionnaire’s Disease
OSHA recently revised the Legionellosis Safety and Health Topics page provides the latest information on preventing, identifying, and controlling Legionella bacteria hazards in workplaces. The new page updates Chapter 7 of the OSHA Technical Manual, as well as OSHA’s Legionella eTool. Employers, healthcare providers, and health and safety professionals can use the new resource to protect workers and collaborate during worksite investigations of Legionellosis (Legionnaire’s Disease and the milder Pontiac Fever). Approximately 6,000 cases are reported each year in the United States.
The simplicity of our Safety Inspection app will increase inspection frequency which leads to a safer work site. You’ll identify hazards and/or unsafe behaviors in real-time which allows management to take a more proactive approach to prevent accidents or OSHA violations.
The Safety-Reports mobile inspection app helps your organization maintain compliance with applicable safety regulations which greatly reduces the likelihood of receiving a citation. Furthermore, data collected using our app has proven to help ‘vacate’ or at least reduce the severity of citations.
Using the Safety-Reports mobile inspection app will cut report writing time significantly! You simply click ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the applicable checklist items and submit your report. Our templates come with pre-loaded observations and recommendations that virtually eliminate report writing time.
