Action Planning

Introduction

The main purpose of this paper is to develop and action plan for OSHA. This action plan is related to the safety and health in aviation industry, and it is related to the standards of occupational safety and health administration. This action plan is basically a direction that whether the aviation industry is following the working standards as mentioned by the Occupational safety and health administration (OSHA). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA defines workplace safety regulations, conducts inspections of workplaces and issues citations and penalties up to $ 70 000. Military academies, boarding schools, preparatory schools, seminars below university level, vocational high schools and primary schools and secondary public and parochial schools, must follow and comply with all OSHA standards (Alamdari, 2005). OSHA is housed in the Department of Labor, with the secretary of labor having the primary accountability for the agency. OSHA has more than 2,000 employees, including 1,100 people who served as the inspectors responsible for inspecting 38,579 workplaces in 2006. While OSHA is regularly in the news whenever workplace safety issues erupt, the full range of its activities and responsibilities may be less well-known, among both those who write the news and news consumers. This entry provides background on OSHA's history and role. According to one of the working standards mentioned by OSHA, it is necessary for the aviation industry that it should use the personal protective equipment in order to save itself from any hazards (Ethell, 1992). Thus, this action plan reflects the implementation of these safety measures in the aviation industry.

Three action plans will be developed in this paper on the topics of OSHA hazardous Communications, Hearing Conversion and Machine guarding and Control of Hazardous Energy (LOTO).

Implementation

An action plan for the OSHA hazardous Communications.

This plan will be useful for the implementation at any time of the hazards.

This action plan is comprised of the voluntary participation by the air carriers, and will be helpful in order to provide the safety and health protection to the employees in the aviation industry. This plan will be comprised of the following elements:

1) Properly identifying the partners

2) Define the goals in a clear manner

3) Development of a safety and health program

4) Committing involvement of employee

5) Enhancing the involvement of industry

6) Measurement system

7) Verification

8) Evaluation

9) Termination

The main rationale behind the implementation of this program will be to implement the safety and security measures in the aviation industry. This program will be ensuring that whether the people in the aviation industry are using the personal protective instruments or not. Personal protective instruments are the requirement by OSHA for the employees of aviation industry so that they can be protected from any kind of hazard, and be safe. For example, some work procedures can oblige personnel to maintain postures for extended periods or execute movements quickly without adequate time for muscle recovery (Antoniou, ...
