Study Notes

Importance of B11 Standards

B11 standards assist organizations in achieving acceptable risk levels through effective risk mitigation strategies.
Participation allows companies to influence the evolution of future safety standards.
Provides valuable networking opportunities with safety experts across various industries.
Cross-educational opportunities enhance knowledge sharing and best practices.

Learning Objectives

Understanding the distinction between standards, regulations, and laws.
Importance of consensus standards in ensuring safety and compliance.
Exploration of U.S. specific standards compared to ISO/European standards.
Overview of various types of standards and methodologies for their application.

Defining Safety

Accident: An unexpected, usually undesirable, outcome of an event that could result in injury.
Incident: An event that results in or could potentially lead to injury or fatality.
Near Miss: Incidents that could have resulted in serious injury or illness but did not.

Safety Statistics

In 2021, a worker was injured on the job every 14 seconds in the U.S.
In 2020, there were 99 million production days lost due to work-related injuries.
Total cost of workplace injuries in 2020 was approximately $163.9 billion.

OSHA Citations Overview

Serious violations incur penalties ranging from $1,116 to a maximum of $15,625.
Willful or repeated violations can lead to penalties between $11,162 and $156,259.
Common violations include fall protection, hazard communication, and respiratory protection.

Understanding OSHA

B11 standards are developed through a standing committee authorized for specific subject matters.
The committee comprises stakeholders who review drafts and vote on approvals.
Procedures for developing and reviewing standards are established by the committee.

Structure of Standards

Foreword: Background information related to the standard.
Scope: Outlines what is included and excluded within the standard.
Definitions: Clarification of terminology that could differ from general usage.
Normative Requirements: Essential guidelines to meet the standard, typically stated as "shall."
Recommendations: Advisories denoted by "should," which are not mandatory.

Risk Assessment Collaboration

Suppliers and users must jointly identify hazards and assess risks within their operational boundaries.
Involvement of qualified personnel is crucial to effectively manage risks.
Open communication and documentation of risks are essential, especially for custom machinery.

Responsibilities of Machine Suppliers

Responsible for determining risk reduction measures for integrated components.
Must obtain, compile, and provide documentation for machine operation, maintenance, and life cycle.
Ensures engineering controls are effective and comply with B11 standards or relevant standards.

Responsibilities of Machine Users

Must provide adequate access and workspace for safe operation and maintenance.
Require all personnel to be trained in risk assessments and emergency procedures.
Users should consult suppliers before altering processes to maintain safety compliance.

Responsibilities in Co-Manufacturing

Co-manufacturers must work collaboratively to define responsibilities regarding risk reduction.
All parties involved should communicate effectively to uphold safety standards.

Additional Responsibilities

Responsibilities must be clearly defined for machinery services, including machine suppliers and service providers.
Implement precautions to prevent the misuse of actuation systems, such as unique coding and non-detachable fixings.

Steps for Reducing Risk

Conduct thorough assessments to identify and implement potential risk reduction measures.
Continuous evaluation of safety procedures and equipment is crucial for maintaining compliance.

Assessing Residual Risk

After implementing risk reduction strategies, residual risks must be assessed to ensure that they are acceptable.
The approach involves identifying tasks, estimating hazard severity, and determining the probability of incidents occurring.
