OSHA Reminds Employers of Snow Cleanup Hazards

hablanews.com
In light of the recent snowstorms in the east and in anticipation of more winter storms, OSHA wants to remind workers, employers and the general public of the hazards associated with snow removal and recovery work. Common hazards can include: electric shock from contact with downed power lines or the use of ungrounded electrical equipment; falls from snow removal on roofs, or while working in aerial lifts or on ladders; being struck or crushed by trees, branches or structures that collapse under the weight of accumulated snow; carbon monoxide poisoning from gasoline-powered generators, kerosene heaters, snow blocked chimney pipes, in inadequately ventilated areas or idling vehicles; and lacerations or amputations from unguarded or improperly operated chain saws and power tools or improperly attempting to clear jams in snow blowers. Information on hazards and safeguards associated with cleanup and recovery activities after a storm or other major weather events are available on OSHA's website in English and Spanish.

Contact OSHA if you have questions or want to file a complaint. We will keep your information confidential. We are here to help you. Your local Harrisburg Area OSHA Office may be reached at (717) 782-3902 during normal business hours.
