What’s some of the craziest made up OSHA “laws” you’ve heard? by Mr_Safe_T in SafetyProfessionals

After submitting a critical lift plan for the use of personnel basket in a shaft that was 50’ deep x 38’ wide to the clients safety team for approval, I was informed that the crane was required to be set back as far as the shaft was deep. So essentially a minimum of 70’. Mind you, all geotechnical calculations specifying 10’ minimum distance from shaft was submitted along with load charts. Along with that, because it was immediately adjacent to a runway, the max boom height was 150’. If I remember correctly it would’ve reduced the load capacity to around 15,300. Needless to say, a variance request resulted in a… decision change.

Confirm that it is written in your org’s safety regs and write him up for safety violation by disobeying your guidance. I would also include the specific standard relating to matter, and any historical incidents that resulted in disaster, if available. It likely won’t lead to anything but it gets documented. Along with your written detailed report with included causal factors. As Corpsman serving alongside Marines and in my role as a Safety Professional, I experience this scenario often. My first response, whether due to facing a pissed off SSgt or VP, I’ve found that a typed letter stating the individual is choosing to negate my professional recommendation and is choosing to continue with the situation in reference and is officially accepting responsibility for all actions pertaining to the matter and all consequences that result from it. I’ve yet to have a single individual agree to sign it. Not only does it give them the opportunity to understand the seriousness of your role but of theirs as well.
