Annotated Bibliography

Maul, Gary P and Wallace, Darrell. “Manufacturing Injuries and the Need for Improvement”. IIE Annual Conference. Proceedings; Norcross (2006) 1-9.

ProQuest, https://www.proquest.com/docview/192453622/7BB5B0BF2FD44606PQ/17?accountid=39906

Maul and Wallace state that OSHA has been doing ongoing health regulations for over 30 years. Companies have been failing to report injuries, illness, and faulty equipment. Companies have large numbers of amputation, due to faulty equipment and not having the correct PPE (Safety Equipment) in place. Maul and Wallace states, “The largest number of amputations recorded over a 9 year period was among machine operators.” (Maul, Gary P; Wallace, Darrell) I find the source credible because it comes from OSHA FACTS, United States Safety and Health Administration. I plan on using this source because it explains a lot about the company's inability to concur with OSHA laws.

Chappell, Lindsey. “OSHA inspects supplier plants in the South: Federal Agents going to 2,900 factories over concerns on injuries, safety issues.” Automotive News, suppl. Traverse City Daily; Vol.21, Iss. 1, (Aug 5, 2014): S001.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/1553429006/7BB5B0BF2FD44606PQ/47?accountid=39906

Chappell writes about OSHA enforcement programs in Atlanta reporting and enlarging the number of events from insufficient machine safety guards and protection from electrical shock. Chappell states, “Michigan auto parts plants recorded 6.3 OSHA incidents per 100 employees during the same period, according to Bureau of Statistics data. Mississippi does not report injury data.” (Chappell, Lindsey). I find this source credible because the author used valuable information from other sources to support her theories.

Trost, Cathy. “OSHA to Check Safety at More Firms In an Expansion of Inspection Policy.” Wall Street Journal, Eastern edition; New York, N.Y.[New York, N.Y.] .08 Jan 1986: 1

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/398016888/7BB5B0BF2FD44606PQ/53?accountid=39906

Trost writes about OSHA refocusing on manufacturing industries with the most high hazard injuries.  That OSHA will continue to do spot checks on companies this information was obtained in 1981.  I will use this source to key out points from 1981 until now in 2021.

 “Workplace Injuries and Illnesses in 2005.” Bureau of  Labor Statistic News. (Oct 19,2006)

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/2250416823/7BB5B0BF2FD44606PQ/24?accountid=39906

In this article the author states different cases in the workplaces such as in mining, agriculture, fishing, hunting, construction, manufacturing and numerous other workplaces. I plan to use this information from 2005 and compare it to the information in 2021. I find this source credible because it comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistic News.

Karmel, Johnathan D. Dying to Work: Death and Injury in the American Workplace. Cornell University Press,  12-15-2017.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/2136047328/A1AF7965896D4BE6PQ/9?accountid=39906

In this book Karmel speaks out about the unsafe work conditions in the manufacturing industry along with other workplaces. The author explains,” Karmel’s examples are portraits of the lives and dreams cut short and reports of the workplace incidents that tragically changed the lives of everyone around them. Dying to Work includes incidents from industries and jobs that we do not commonly associate with injuries and fatalities and highlights the risks faced by workers who are hidden in plain view all around us.”(Karmel)

 Rinefort, Foster C; Van Fleet, David D. “Work Injuries and employee turnover.” American Business Review, Vol. 16, Iss. 2, Jun 1998, pp 9-13.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/216313839/4043685F622D41FFPQ/97?accountid=39906

Rinefort gives information about the turnover rate in the manufacturing industry. Due to the large number of turnover rates, employees may not be getting proper training. Some of the information is over 20 years old, but it still holds credibility, because it explains why the turnover rate in the manufacturing companies has increased over the years. 

 Nagele-Piazza, Lisa. “Top 10 OSHA Violations for 2017: Fall protection, hazard communication, and scaffolding violations top the list again.” HRNews,Oct 16, 2017.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/2023428708/98364C537E184A0FPQ/2?accountid=39906

Nagele-Piazza announces the top 10 OSHA most frequently cited workplace safety violations in the year of 2017. The author explains, “ Employers should make sure workers are familiar with the rules and understand that violations of the rules won't be tolerated. * Look at OSHA 300 logs (which employers use to record worksite injuries and illnesses) and conduct an incident analysis for each entry to figure out the root cause of the incidents and ways to eliminate future risks. * Perform an accident investigation and root cause analysis for  near misses as well”.(Piazza)

U.S. Newswire,“OSHA Reveals Top 10 Violations for Fiscal Year 2020: Violations from fiscal year 2019 remain….”01 Mar 2021.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/2494331640/98364C537E184A0FPQ/10?accountid=39906

The author explains, "In a year that was defined by the ongoing pandemic, workplace safety became more important than ever," said Lorraine M. Martin, NSC president and CEO. "The OSHA Top 10 list reminds us why we must continue to focus on persistent safety risks as we navigate new challenges. These data help us pinpoint areas where we can improve so we can better prioritize workplace safety in the future world of work."

U.S. Newswire; “OSHA Reveals Top 10 Safety Violations for Fiscal Year 2021 at NSC Safety Congress & Expo: Falls remain top citation for 11th year in a row.” 12 Oct 2021.

The author explains,”Fall Protection (1926.501) remains at the top of the list for the 11th year in a row, followed by Respiratory Protection (1910.134) and Ladders (1926.1053). Hazard Communication, which spent the last several years at number two, moved to the fifth spot on this year's list.” This source has information containing the top 10 OSHA safety violations in 2021. I plan on using the number to support my argument for over the past years machine guarding, lockout tag, and proper training numbers have either increased or decreased.

PR Newswire;” Personal Protection Equipment in the Global Manufacturing Industry-Outlook and Trend.” 31 March 2014.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/1536958750/5471EC7359584AC3PQ/1?accountid=39906

This source has information about the different styles and trends in the market of PPE in the manufacturing industry. I plan to use this source to discuss the importance of the PPE in the manufacturing industry. The author explains, “The manufacturing industry comprises a wide range of diverse sectors. The dynamics and the  nature of these sectors vary among each other and also from one region to another. In this study, an overview of opportunities for PPE is provided on an aggregate level. While there is a wide range of hazards and protection types that are common to general manufacturing, there are also specific hazards that are unique to some sectors that require different PPE products.”

Smith, Sandy. ”Lack of PPE among 33 OSHA Violations at A&B Foundry Machining.”  EHS Today,Jun 11, 2013.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/1366563182/5D5772C751CE40A0PQ/5?accountid=39906

Smith writes in this article the repeated violation of chemical hazard training that caused injuries in the workplace, and 33 health and safety violations. I find this information extremely incredible because of the vital information the author used.

Blake, Marilyn A. “Personal Protection Equipment: The Last Line of Defense.” Rural Telecommunications; Washington Vol. 33 Iss 4, (Jul/Aug): 36, 38.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/1545631931/5D5772C751CE40A0PQ/8?accountid=39906

Blake describes in this article the importance of PPE. The importance of wearing, cleaning and caring for the PPE. The importance of the proper training in all these areas. I plan to use this information by explaining the importance of using PPE and not using to correct protection.

 

US Fed News Service, Including US State News Washington, D.C. “OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION CITES HOIST LIFTRUCK MFG. WITH $235,800 FOR REPEAT SAFETY VIOLATIONS AT BEDFORD PARK,TRUCK MANUFACTURING CENTER.” 06 Aug 3013.

ProQuest https://www.proquest.com/docview/1417817607/88816A7A7F074698PQ/10?accountid=39906

This source cites that the employer repeatedly violated safety violation by failing to provide employees with safety equipment
