I thought I'd toss this one out there and see what suggestions I get. At the last OSHA inspection of the facility where I work we recieved several gigs on our racks in some of our warehouses. They require drilling and pounding bolts (simpson type) into the legs(base)for earthquake req. Which I question, being a guy who was only a few miles from the center of the 89'S.F. quake. I think it would pop those bolts like buttons on an old shirt.(but who am I to question OSHA?). No problem w/all the w/houses EXCEPT the Haz/Mat Whse(Radio active, corrosives, acids, flamables, etc..). The Fire Dept., safety, and my ol'pals enviromental, will not allow us to drill because of spark concerns in 4-5 sections, even after clearance from taking air samples. OK fine. Spark resistant blankets, shields, tents wont work, and to move ALL the Haz/Mat would be a disaster, the more u move that stuff the more chances u take! The concentration must be on the drill itself, ie; wet drill, pneumatic, fully enclosed..... NO SPARK????? OR if there are other anchoring alternatives that meet OSHA regs. I'm all ears! Oh yea the Depot Commander does not want any repeat violations w/the upcomming re-inspection!!!! Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!! Steve

Sounds like it's time to set up a conference. Get everybody concerned together and hash it out.

How about asking OSHA for the recomended procedure and equipment, etc. Certainly they should be able to tell you what is correct if they know so much about what isn't.

Where I work we have hydraulic presses that swage ends onto cables, like hand brake cables and they hit us for not having any "safety shields" on the presses. You can't though and allow the operators to position the cable end assembly properly in the dies, then hitting the foot switch that brings the ram down. They couldn't tell us what the proper shields would be either so we have none, however when they figured out that the presses were "swagers", not presses, well there is no regulations for a swager, so we don't need shields. Figure that out. Same machine, different name and it is OK.

Them OSHA boys are a strange bunch. One place I worked at had ladders leading to some overhead storage. We got fined because the ladders weren't painted red. Makes no sense to me.
