| Hello everyone, I am new to the safety game, and well Here where I work the last safety man had been let go. So safety had not been enforced within the past 4 years. Crazy huh? Anyway I came in now to try to clean up the plant "mess"and one hurdle I came upon was that many employees here where operating overhead shop cranes, jib cranes etc... without a hard hat. Their reason for not wearing one when approached was "why should I?" The rules were of course not enforced by supervision. My question is Where in writing is their a law or osha rule stating how many inches or feet should an object be over one's shoulders/head for the employee's to wear a hard hat while operating a crAne? THe old rule here is one should have one on within a five feet radius of operating A crane regardless of how high load is lifted. But I want to rephrase that policy with detail. HELP!  |

| And the answer to "Why should I?" is: "Because you don't want to get a day off without pay."

| Even if there weren't any 'external' guidelines, it could be put in to a company safety policy or standard operating procedure. Good luck, be firm. Being the 'safety person' isn't always a fun job!
