June Safety Bulletin: Basic Forklift Awareness

6/4/2017

0 Comments

 
In many workplaces throughout the glass industry, forklifts of various types and designs are used to accomplish tasks too large or cumbersome for employees to do manually. Because forklifts are so common, many employees can make the mistake of thinking that they are simple machines which operate similarly to automobiles, leading to terrible h​azards. It is important if you work with or around forklifts that you understand some basics about them.
“Basic Forklift Awareness” is the topic of the June 2017 Safety Bulletin. The complete bulletin can be downloaded instantly by visiting the members-only section of the GANA website. The Safety Bulletin is a great benefit to members to help assist them in meeting their monthly OSHA safety requirements.

Overview of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Glass and Glazing Systems
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent, model-based process that starts in the early stages of planning and design. It is used through construction, and can also be used throughout the operational management stages.  BIM projects can display the proper graphics at different scales, represent accurate geometry, and can be rich with manufacturer product data.

MAY Safety Bulletin: Updated Rule on Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection

5/3/2017

0 Comments

 
In November of 2016, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced an updated final rule to the General Industry Walking-Working Surfaces standard (29 CFR 1910 Subpart D) and Personal Fall Protection Systems (29 CFR 1910.140). OSHA’s intent with this update is to reduce the number of falls, both at the same level and falls to a lower level, that occur in workplaces throughout the country. Essentially, these changes will align General Industry practices with more effective techniques already in use in the Construction industry.

“Updated Rule on Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection” is the topic of the May 2017 Safety Bulletin. The complete bulletin can be downloaded instantly by visiting the members-only section of the GANA website. The Safety Bulletin is a great benefit to members to help assist them in meeting their monthly OSHA safety requirements.
