An OSHA Update with a Focus on Fall Protection
with
Elbert “Charlie” Shelton, OSHA Compliance Specialist
With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education, and assistance.
This presentation will provide an update on current activities within OSHA and discuss various Programs and efforts being made to address issues where the agency is showing concern and focus. There will be a particular focus on fall protection as it has been a high priority because of its prominence on the OSHA Top 10 List of Violations through the years.
Charlie Shelton has been with the U.S. DOL OSHA for 26 years. He served 13 years as a Safety Compliance Officer, two years as a Compliance Assistant Specialist, and nine years as Assistant Area Director. He has extensive Occupational Health background knowledge in both General Industry and Construction Industries. He currently serves as the Compliance Assistant Specialist for all the OSHA offices in the state of Ohio.
