New ASTM Task Group Works on Standard for Safe Handling of Annealed Glass
www.usgnn.com Recent accidents involving annealed glass along with requests from OSHA have led ASTM International to form a new task group that will work on the development of a proposed standard guide for the safe handling of annealed glass. The task group is part of Committee E34 on Occupational Health and Safety.
"We received a request from OSHA because of two fatalities in the [past] 12 to 18 months in the glass industry. In response to this request, we had an initial meeting in Rossford, Ohio, to [meet with members of the] industry to see if they thought it was a worthwhile activity," says Kevin Shanahan, manager, technical committee operations for ASTM International. "The response was yes and now we will have a meeting in August to discuss the title and scope of the new standard."
