Mechanicsburg, PA, – On April 26, 2010, the Department of Labor (DOL) announced the new “Plan/Prevent/Protect” strategy in the following way: Employers and others must “find and fix” violations – that is, assure compliance – before a Labor Department investigator arrives in the workplace. Employers and other in the Department’s regulated communities must understand that the burden is on them to obey the law, not on the Labor Department to catch them violating the law. In various ways, employers and other regulated entities will be asked to assemble plans, create processes, and designate people charged with achieving compliance.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) currently requires development and approval of plans for control of specific hazards, but will work on regulations to improve the effectiveness of these existing plans. MSHA will also publish a Request for Information (RFI) about the possible imposition of a new requirement of a comprehensive health and safety management program for all mines. The RFI will solicit information in the areas of management commitment and employee involvement; work site analysis; hazard prevention controls; safety and health training; pre-shift inspection; violations of any mandatory safety or health standards and correction of those which are identified; and program evaluation.
Scott McKenna, Sam Scribe and Ron Witt, of Catamount Consulting LLC New York and Pennsylvania, have collaborated to put together a two day training seminar covering MSHA Supervisor Training. The Supervisor Seminar encompasses prevention of accidents, the role of the supervisor, motivating your team and teambuilding, handling litigation, MSHA compliance, handling MSHA Inspections and creating a positive environment. People in every workplace talk about building the team, working as a team, and “my team”, but few understand how to create the experience of team work or how to develop an effective team. Participants will learn how to build a team that will be proactive in handling accident prevention and MSHA compliance.
The MSHA Supervisor Training Seminar will take place November 2-3, 2010 at Holiday Inn Harrisburg in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The cost to attend is $550 per person. More information on the seminar can be found at http://www.catamountconsultingllc.com/msha.html or by calling Catamount Consulting at (518) 623-2352.
