4. American Society of Safety Engineers
Unveils New Workplace Fall Prevention Standards
As slips, trips and falls continue to represent significant
exposures and hazards in the workplace, the American Society of Safety
Engineers (ASSE) recently announced the approval of three new fall
protection standards by the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI), aimed at preventing these hazards in the workplace. The three
standards are: ANSI/ASSE Z359.6-2009, “Specification and Design
Requirements for Active Fall Protection Systems;” ANSI/ASSE
Z359.12-2009, “Connecting Components for Personal Fall Arrest
Systems;” and ANSI/ASSE Z359.13-2009, “Personal Energy Absorbers and
Energy Absorbing Lanyards.”

5. Supervisory Safety Coaching: Growing a
Safety Culture from the Middle Out
Most safety culture improvement initiatives either start at the top
or the bottom of the organizational structure, with executive coaching
for senior managers or work force teambuilding for the rank and file.
Some experts believe that safety begins with leadership; others stress
that worker behavior has the most impact on safety. Both approaches can
achieve improvement. However, there are organizations with good reasons
to delay these approaches and start safety improvement in the middle.
