Toxic and Hazardous Substances OSHA 1910.1001

New OSHA regulations for Toxic and Hazardous Substances go into effect on June 1st 2016. Are you ready?

Occupational Safety and Health Standards standard number 1910.100 applies to any chemical which is known to be present
in the workplace in such a manner that employees may be exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable
emergency. For more information visit https://www.osha.gov/

Why buy an OSHA style header sign vs. an ANSI style?  

It may be helpful to know that even though OSHA has adopted updated sign layouts as part of its standards, both sign styles continue to be compliant with OSHA Hazard Communication Standard.

For example, in the OSHA 1910.1001 standard related to asbestos work areas, going into effect as of June 1, 2016 has specific language that is required in a sign’s legend but common designs do not use pictograms or symbols and both DANGER header styles meet the requirements. It is your choice which to use.

ASBESTOS

(HCS) (§ 1910.1200) for Asbestos

The warning signs shall bear the

following legend:

DANGER

2016 Texas Open Carry Signs

With companies in Texas evaluating whether to allow open carry in their facilities, H-E-B supermarket chain has already decided not to allow open carry, but concealed carry still allowed. Read the full article about H-E-B Here!

Know Your Texas Carry Law Sign Facts:

Effective 1/1/2016, a sign posted under §30.06, Texas Penal Code, must do the following:

•  Include the following text in English and in Spanish
•  Pursuant to Section 30.06, Penal Code (trespass by license holder with a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (handgun licensing law), may not enter this property with a concealed handgun”
•  Appear in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and Be displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

Effective 1/1/2016, a sign posted under §30.07, Texas Penal Code, must do the following:

•  Include the following text in English and in Spanish
• “Pursuant to Section 30.07, Penal Code (trespass by license holder with an openly carried handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code (handgun licensing law), may not enter this property with a handgun that is carried openly.”
• Appear in contrasting colors with block letters at least one inch in height; and Be displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public.

As of January 1, 2016, the charge for failing to heed signage has been reduced to a Class C misdemeanor, unless it can be shown at trial that the actor was given oral notice and failed to depart, in which case it remains a Class A misdemeanor. This is a significant difference, in that conviction of a Class A or B misdemeanor will result in the loss of your handgun license for at least 5 years, this is not the case if convicted of a Class C misdemeanor.
