High winds are known to regularly occur in broad regions of Nevada. The presence of high winds can potentially place outdoor workers at risk of serious physical injury or death. Examples of such hazards include, but are not limited to:
In general, wind speeds are highly variable depending on the location, altitude, and season. Employers are expected to monitor working conditions at any location where their employees are performing work, to identify hazards that are causing or are likely to cause harm to their employees, and to implement effective methods to control those hazards.
Businesses can take proactive steps to mitigate the effects of high winds and meet their general duty to protect their employees and SCATS is here to help! SCATS can review and make recommendations on best practices and implementation of an employer’s high wind protocols. If your business has questions or needs onsite training or consultation, please call 877-472-3368 or visit our website to submit a consultation request.

GUIDANCE ON REPORTING INCIDENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADEQUATE CONTROLS TO MITIGATE WORKPLACE VIOLENCE IN MEDICAL FACILITIES
Nevada OSHA has released a guidance document for reporting incidents and recommendations for adequate controls to mitigate workplace violence in medical facilities. The purpose of the guidance is to provide background on the Workplace Violence in the Medical Industry regulation R044-20 as well as provide guidance on reporting requirements and adequate controls that an employer may utilize to comply with the requirements under R044-20.
NRS 618.7301 to 618.7318 was adopted in 2019 to address workplace violence at medical facilities. This legislation required the Division of Industrial Relations to adopt regulations. On December 21, 2021, regulation R044-20 was approved by the Legislative Commission, which became effective on December 22, 2021.
SCATS is here to help! We are available to answer questions and provide onsite training or consultation for your business. Please call 877-472-3368 or visit our website to submit a consultation request.
