<p>On December 29, 1970, then-President Richard Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Four months later, on April 28, 1971, it went into effect, slowly becoming the gold standard for workplace safety today. 2021
<a href="https://www.osha.gov/osha50">marks the 50th anniversary</a> of the act going into effect and it is still the primary thing that we turn to when safety is a concern. What do Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning workers
need to know about OSHA? </p>
<p><strong>Risks for HVAC Workers</strong></p>

<p> OSHA, in addition to providing guidelines for worker safety, also helps outline the kind of risks that an employee might be exposed to in the workplace. For HVAC workers, in particular, this
<a href="https://www.rsi.edu/blog/hvacr/osha-affect-hvac-industry/">includes risks such as</a>: </p>
<p>● Handing refrigerants </p>
<p>● Operating on rooftops </p>
<p>● Dealing with wiring and electricity </p>
<p>● Working in confined spaces </p>
<p>This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it does detail some of the most common risk factors for HVAC workers that OSHA addresses. How does the Occupational Safety and Health Act protect HVAC workers? </p>
<p><strong>Refrigerant Safety</strong>
</p>
<p>The <a href="https://environment.co/4-environmental-impacts-of-heat-pumps/">primary safety concern</a> when working with refrigerants is oxygen deprivation. The substance will replace the oxygen in the lungs. They are difficult to
expel from the lungs because they <a href="https://www.rses.org/rsesjournal/safetyfirstwhenworkingwithrefrigerants.aspx">are heavier than air</a>, leading to unconsciousness and eventually death. OSHA regulations detail how to use
these refrigerants safely, how to store them and how to react if there is refrigerant exposure on the job site. </p>
<p><strong>Preventing Falls</strong></p>
<p> Falls are among the most common causes of on the job fatalities, especially in the construction industry. It is so common that it
is <a href="https://ehsdailyadvisor.blr.com/2019/05/oshas-fatal-four-leading-causes-of-fatalities-in-the-workplace/">included as part of OSHA’s</a> “Fatal Four.” HVAC workers who find themselves operating on roofs are at risk of
adding to those statistics. According to OSHA, fall arrest equipment is essential for anyone working above a certain height, which ranges from
<a href="https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.140">four to eight feet depending on the industry</a>, or on a particular grade of roof. </p>

WHAT HVAC WORKERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OSHA
* By Jane Marsh
* Aug 09, 2021
On December 29, 1970, then-President Richard Nixon signed the Occupational
Safety and Health Act. Four months later, on April 28, 1971, it went into
effect, slowly becoming the gold standard for workplace safety today. 2021 marks
the 50th anniversary of the act going into effect and it is still the primary
thing that we turn to when safety is a concern. What do Heating, Ventilation and
Air Conditioning workers need to know about OSHA?
Risks for HVAC Workers
OSHA, in addition to providing guidelines for worker safety, also helps outline
the kind of risks that an employee might be exposed to in the workplace. For
HVAC workers, in particular, this includes risks such as:
● Handing refrigerants
● Operating on rooftops
● Dealing with wiring and electricity
● Working in confined spaces
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it does detail some of the most
common risk factors for HVAC workers that OSHA addresses. How does the
Occupational Safety and Health Act protect HVAC workers?
Refrigerant Safety
The primary safety concern when working with refrigerants is oxygen deprivation.
The substance will replace the oxygen in the lungs. They are difficult to expel
from the lungs because they are heavier than air, leading to unconsciousness and
eventually death. OSHA regulations detail how to use these refrigerants safely,
how to store them and how to react if there is refrigerant exposure on the job
site.
Preventing Falls
Falls are among the most common causes of on the job fatalities, especially in
the construction industry. It is so common that it is included as part of OSHA’s
“Fatal Four.” HVAC workers who find themselves operating on roofs are at risk of
adding to those statistics. According to OSHA, fall arrest equipment is
essential for anyone working above a certain height, which ranges from four to
eight feet depending on the industry, or on a particular grade of roof.
