We're excited to welcome *Lori Chavez-DeRemer* [ https://www.dol.gov/agencies/osec ] as the 30th United States Secretary of Labor. With more than two decades of public service, she has focused on strengthening communities, supporting workers and driving economic growth. "I'm prepared to work with business and labor, and with every agency across this department, to ensure our priorities reflect the needs of America's workforce," said Secretary Chavez-DeRemer.

At OSHA, *Amanda Wood-Laihow* [ https://www.osha.gov/aboutosha/biography/laihow ] was appointed as OSHA's principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, currently serving as Acting Assistant Secretary overseeing the agency's efforts to protect the safety and health of America's workers. As a commissioner at the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, she understands the critical role of OSHA in workplace safety. "Through these experiences, I would like to build a shared vision on the foundations of OSHA and help ensure workers return home safely to their families," said Acting Assistant Secretary Laihow.

PROTECTING FARMWORKERS

*Farmworkers face many hazards on the job* [ https://www.osha.gov/agricultural-operations/hazards ], such as pesticide exposure, dangerous machinery, heat illness and engulfment in grain silos. But proper training, safe operation of equipment, and personal protective equipment can keep them safe as they labor to feed America.


 
TRAINING SAVES LIVES
 
Agricultural Operations - tractor [ https://www.osha.gov/training/outreach/construction/focus-four ]

The *four most common causes of worker fatalities* [ https://www.osha.gov/training/outreach/construction/focus-four ] in the construction industry are falls, being caught in or between machinery or equipment, being struck by objects, and electrocution. That is why we created a set of training resources to teach workers how to stay safe from these hazards.


 
SAFETY AT EVERY LEVEL
 

Workplace safety requires leadership from the shop floor to the manager's office, to the company boardroom. Setting an example by making safety part of daily conversations demonstrates to workers that their wellbeing is important to business success. OSHA can help you *ensure that everyone on the jobsite understands safety procedures* [ https://www.osha.gov/complianceassistance/cas ] they are required to follow, and to *identify and suggest solutions for any existing workplace hazards* [ https://www.osha.gov/consultation ].


 
WORKING TOGETHER
 
Safety Works! - Maine Department of Labor [ https://www.osha.gov/successstories/safety-works ]

OSHA works collaboratively with our alliances and partners to develop products and programs aimed at improving worker safety. We also recognize employers and workers in the private industry and federal agencies who have implemented effective safety and health programs.

In this issue, we're highlighting the *Maine Department of Labor's SafetyWorks! Consultation Program* [ https://www.osha.gov/successstories/safety-works ] who joined with private safety consultants, insurance and construction companies to form the Construction Safety Alliance of Maine (CSAM).

The CSAM offers monthly trainings on topics such as construction and electrical safety, heat, silica protection, young worker safety and more.


 
YOU ASK...WE ANSWER

*❓ My employer claims that they are not required to supply potable water year-round but rather only during the summer. Could I get some clarification on this?*

?? OSHA standards require employers in *general industry* [ https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.141#1910.141(b)(1) ], *construction* [ https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.51#1926.51(a) ], *agriculture* [ https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1928/1928.110#1928.110(c)(1) ] and *maritime* [ https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1915/1915.88#1915.88(b) ] to provide workers with free potable water at work and allow employees to drink it during their shifts. Potable water includes tap water that is safe for drinking.

WHAT'S TRENDING
 
CAN YOU SPOT ALL THE SAFETY HAZARDS? LADDERSNO FALL PROTECTION - If you are 4 feet up (general) or 6 feet up (construction) you need fall protection. - UNSTABLE LADDER - Put ladders on flat, stable surfaces. Clutter under ladders can cause trips and falls. [ https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OSHA3625.pdf ]

Never skip a step in ladder safety. Always follow these tips:

✓ Use the right ladder for the job
✓ Maintain three points of contact
✓ Place on a stable, level surface

Stay safe and take the lead on ladder safety!
