Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories |

OSHA developed this slide presentation for its
compliance officers (CSHOs). However, the information contained in the slides
can help employers and workers better understand certain product-approval
requirements in OSHA safety standards. The products affected by these
requirements must be approved (i.e., tested and certified) to help ensure they
can be used safely. Moreover, they must be tested and certified by an
organization recognized as an NRTL by OSHA. There are only infrequent
exceptions to these requirements.
In order to ensure that the testing and certification
has been done appropriately, OSHA has implemented the NRTL Program. The NRTL
Program establishes the criteria that an organization must meet in order to be
recognized as an NRTL by OSHA.

Tuberculosis |
|
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to an infectious agent
in the world. Since 1985, the incidence of TB in the general U.S. population
has increased 14 percent, reversing a 30-year downward trend. Outbreaks have
occurred in hospitals, correctional institutions, homeless shelters, nursing
homes, and residential care facilities for AIDS patients. Specific control
measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
required by OSHA has contributed to a drop in TB cases in 1994 and 1995.
In February 1996, OSHA issued CPL 2.106, Enforcement Procedures and
Scheduling for Occupational Exposure to Tuberculosis to protect workers
against the hazards of TB.

Workplace Violence |
|
Workplace violence has emerged as an important safety and health issue in
today's workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's)
response to the problem of workplace violence in certain industries has been
the production of OSHA's guidelines and recommendations to those industries
for implementing workplace violence prevention programs.
In 1996, OSHA published Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for
Health Care and Social Service Workers. The guidelines are based on OSHA's
voluntary generic Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines.
In 1998, OSHA published Recommendations for Workplace Violence Prevention
Programs in Late-Night Retail Establishments. The recommendations are based
on OSHA's 1989 voluntary generic Safety and Health Program Management
Guidelines.
