hazards. Most of the videos are 2 to 4 minutes long, presented
in clear, easily accessible vocabulary, and show common construction
worksite activities. The videos may be used for employer and worker
training. Available in English and Spanish.

OSHA developed this slide presentation
for its compliance officers (CSHOs). However, the information contained
in the slides can help employers and workers better understand certain
product-approval requirements in OSHA safety standards. The products
affected by these requirements must be approved (i.e., tested and
certified) to help ensure they can be used safely. Moreover, they
must be tested and certified by an organization recognized as an NRTL
by OSHA. There are only infrequent exceptions to these requirements.
In order to ensure that the testing
and certification has been done appropriately, OSHA has implemented
the NRTL Program. The NRTL Program establishes the criteria that an
organization must meet in order to be recognized as an NRTL by OSHA.

| Tuberculosis |
|
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death
due to an infectious agent in the world. Since 1985, the incidence
of TB in the general U.S. population has increased 14 percent, reversing
a 30-year downward trend. Outbreaks have occurred in hospitals,
correctional institutions, homeless shelters, nursing homes, and
residential care facilities for AIDS patients. Specific control
measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and required by OSHA has contributed to a drop in TB cases in 1994
and 1995.
In February 1996, OSHA issued CPL 2.106, Enforcement Procedures
and Scheduling for Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis to protect
workers against the hazards of TB.

| Workplace
Violence |
|
| Workplace violence has emerged as an important
safety and health issue in today's workplace. The Occupational Safety
and Health Administration's (OSHA's) response to the problem of
workplace violence in certain industries has been the production
of OSHA's guidelines and recommendations to those industries for
implementing workplace violence prevention programs.
In 1996, OSHA published Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence
for Health Care and Social Service Workers. The guidelines are based
on OSHA's voluntary generic Safety and Health Program Management
Guidelines.
In 1998, OSHA published Recommendations for Workplace Violence Prevention
Programs in Late-Night Retail Establishments. The recommendations
are based on OSHA's 1989 voluntary generic Safety and Health Program
Management Guidelines.
