Full-time employee determination

A ull-time employee," for purposes of section 313 reporting, is defined as 2,000 work hours per year. To determine the number of full-time employees atyourfacility, add up the hours worked by all employees during the calendar year, including contract employees and sales and support staff working at the facility and divide the total by 2,000 hours. In other words, if the total numter of hours worked by all employees is 20,000 hou rs or more, your facility meets the ten employee threshold. 

Liles et al. (1984) performed a field study to determine the relationship between JSI and the incidence and severity of LBDs. A total of 453 subjects was included in the study. The results of the field study indicated that both incidence and severity of recordable back injuries rose rapidly at values of JSI greater than 1.5. The denominator for the incidence and severity rates is 100 full-time employees, that is, 200,000 exposure hours. JSI can be reduced to a desirable level by increasing worker capacity (e.g., selecting a worker with higher capacity) or altering task and job parameters to reduce JSI to an acceptable level.

The periodic medical examination should ideally be conducted annually for full-time operatives (e.g., in pesticide manufacture) or at midseason and the end of the work season for part-time employees (e.g., field workers). However, in determining the periodieity of medical examinations and special studies for individual cases, the advising physician should take into account factors that include age, gender, frequency and duration of exposures, and potential exposure dosages. Additionally, employees should be advised, ideally at the preemployment medical examination, that if they believe that they are developing pesticide exposure-... 

The employer is required to provide the responsible physician or other licensed health care professional and any specialists involved in a diagnosis with the following information a copy of the MC standard including relevant appendices, a description of the affected employee s duties as they relate to his or her exposure to MC an estimate of the employee s exposure including duration (e.g., 15hr/wk, three 8-hour shifts/wk, full time) a description of any personal protective equipment used by the employee, including respirators and the results of any previous medical determinations for the affected employee related to MC exposure to the extent that this information is within the employer s control. 

This knowledge is also important in order to determine if air tests conducted by OSHA compliance officers are valid. For example, if threshold limit value in the health standard is an 8-hour time-weighted average, the air sample should be obtained by sampling over the entire shift in the employee s breathing zone. It cannot be measured by a few short term samples, even if spaced over the full shift unless the worker is in a relatively fixed location with no variation in his work procedure or in the process. Such an event is generally the exception rather than the rule. 

The second component of the quality system is people. Given that we have capable processes, we then need people with the requisite knowledge and skills. We have to hire and promote people with the potential for the task and importantly with the correct attitude. We need to develop them to their full potential. If we have high performance standards, all employees will have training needs. These must to be prioritized. A tool for the determination of training needs and their prioritization is described in Ref. l Adequate time and resources must be allocated to training. World-class companies allocate about lOOhryr per person... 

Time study is often referred to, among industry practitioners, as a method of determining a fair day s work. In general, that means fair to both the company and the employee. Employees are expected to give the full day s work that they get paid for, with reasonable allowances for persontd delays, imavoidable delays, and fatigue. Employees are expected to perform the prescribed method at a pace, neither fast nor slow, that may be considered representative of a full day s output by a well-trained, experienced, and cooperative operator. 

The purpose of the air contaminants standards are to reduce risk of occupational illness for workers by reducing permissible exposure limits (PEL) for chemicals. Table 14.10.3 lists the PELs [8-hr time-weighted average (TWA) exposure] for the solvents discussed. To achieve complianee with the PEL, administrative or engineering controls must first be determined and implemented, whenever feasible. When such controls are not feasible to achieve full eompliance, personal protective equipment, work practices, or any other protective measures are to be used to keep employee exposure below the PEL. 

Big School is a medium-sized public xmiversity in the United States. While we engaged in other interventions, the data we analyzed in this book came from an Internet-based survey. It was sent to most of Big School s employees and all respondents shared their answers in English. Similar to Big Store, we used a purely appreciative focus. Our goal in doing this survey was to determine university stakeholders vision for the University as it pertained to diversity and inclusion. We received responses from Big School s community members, undergraduate and graduate students, full-and part-time faculty, and full- and part-time staff. 

Evaiuation of 8-hour Exposure Measurements taken for the purpose of determining time-weighted average (TWA) exposures are best taken with samples covering the full shift. Samples collected must be taken from the employee s breathing zone air. 

Sound level meters measure noise only at a given point at the time of observation. If the noise being measured is constant in both space and time, meters will give an accurate representation of the situation. However, if the sound level changes with time and location (for instance, as an operator moves around), it will be necessary to record either the sound level manually using short time intervals (5 to 10 s) or the noise data for later analysis of the time history of the noise. The second approach is preferable when a worker s noise exposure is related to duty cycles or product flow. In this case, extrapolations can be made on the basis of total day production to determine the noise exposure of an employee over a full day.
