The success of any food manufacturer's safety program depends on how accurately a facility interprets the laws and how it handles the hazards that workers face on a daily basis. This new 'go to' resource provides industry managers, safety directors, and workers with straightforward answers to complicated OSHA questions. Referencing FDA, USDA, and other regulatory standards as applicable, Occupational Safety and Health Simplified for the Food Manufacturing Industry explains the requirements of the twelve major Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards in Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 29 Chapter 1910 (general industry) and Chapter 1928 (agriculture) for food worker safety and provides examples to help ensure compliance with all applicable standards. Readers will examine the most serious health hazards in the industry, including inhalation of flavorings, radiation, and amputations, and identify ways to prevent accidents from occurring. They will address both industry-wide safety concerns and segment-specific hazards for meatpacking, poultry processing, fruit and vegetable canning, and food flavoring, and find information to help them overcome the language and cultural barriers of the food industry's growing Hispanic workforce to ensure adequate protection for all. A complete sample food manufacturing safety program that meets OSHA requirements and a comprehensive checklist for completing self-audits are included.

More than two thousand deaths from a methyl isocyanate chemical leak in Bhopal, India, drew world attention to the industry. Following that tragedy, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) developed guidelines to aid employers in reducing the number of potential hazards in chemical industries. This publication is designed to encourage chemical industry employers to review and strengthen overall safety precautions to guard against chemical disasters. It contains guidelines used by OSHA compliance officers to evaluate employer safety programs particularly in the areas of disaster prevention and emergency response. It also includes two lists of acutely toxic chemicals whose presence in the workplace should signal the need for safety and health measures to protect workers. The guidelines are aimed at the conditions and processes found in the "chemical industry," including (but not limited to) firm in SICs 28 and 29. However, they are written to he used in a wide spectrum of workplaces which produce industrial and consumer chemical products. OSHA also publishes a manual called "How to Prepare for Workplace Emergencies" which can help any type of business in developing an emergency plan. A free copy may be obtained from any OSHA area office.
