Question 1

Discuss how OSHA's Field Operations Manual could be used by an organization's management to improve the management of its safety and health program.

Question 2

OSHA's Voluntary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines and the S&H Management Systems e-tool tend to get into the nitty-gritty of how to manage a safety program from a management systems perspective. Discuss whether you believe OSHA should be in the business of offering management suggestions.

Question 3

Search the OSHA standards interpretations and compliance directives for supplemental information on three standards that are important to your workplace or a workplace with which you are familiar. Discuss what you found for each of the standards. Does the information change the way you view these standards or what you might need to do to comply with them in your workplace?

Question 4

Using the requirements for General Duty violations in Chapter 4 of the OSHA Field Operations Manual (FOM) and any additional information you can find in OSHA compliance directives or standards interpretations, describe a situation involving ergonomics that could be cited as a violation of the General Duty Clause. Explain how your citation meets the four elements listed in the FOM as necessary to prove such a violation.
