Crowd Control and H1N1 Guidelines From OSHA
December 11, 2009 by admin · 10 Comments
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued some holiday specific directives last week. Employers, especially retailers, should take note of the guidelines in time for their holiday preparations.
On November 17, OSHA issued crowd control guidelines designed to lower the risk of crowd related accidents. Last year a worker was trampled to death while a mob of shoppers rushed through the doors of a large store to take advantage of an after Thanksgiving Day “Black Friday” sales event. OSHA claims in its press release that the store “was not using the kind of crowd control measures recommended in OSHA’s fact sheet.” The Fact Sheet is available online.
On November 20, OSHA issued a directive to “ensure uniform procedures when conducting inspections to identify and minimize or eliminate high to very high risk occupational exposures to the 2009 H1N1 influenza A virus.” The directive identifies high to very high risk occupations including health care workers and some institutional occupations. The directive incorporates some Centers for Disease Control recommendations regarding the handling of H1N1 Influenza patients. Those recommendations will be followed by OSHA inspectors inspecting health care centers and institutions where there is high to very high risk of transmission to employees.
Both guidelines are important for retailers and health care employers to understand and consider in their risk management planning.
