Although concern for worker safety would seem to be an important societal goal, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)-the most comprehensive legislation regarding worker safety in the United States-did not become the law until the 1970s. The OSHA legislation authorized the federal government to establish and enforce occupational safety and health standards for all places of employment engaged in interstate commerce. In the following activity, you will read about an employee incident at a bottling plant and how OSHA regulations and inspections help keep workers safe.
In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions below.
Michael Smith is a recently hired maintenance worker at the Suprima bottling plant in central Pennsylvania. While doing routine maintenance on the facility's main water bottling conveyor, Smith sustained an electrical shock that resulted in burns to both of his hands. Smith's supervisor filed a report with the HR department, which in turn notified the local OSHA office. An OSHA compliance officer made an unannounced inspection of the facility. As a result of the inspection, the compliance officer found that Smith was not given adequate training to implement the lockout procedure to the main electrical breaker before working on the conveyor, which caused the accident.
Place them in order that OSHA inspection would be: (which one is 1,2,3 and 4).
