The interview questions cover such topics as whether the building has been screened for asbestos, radon and lead; employee safety training; approach to worker's compensation; ergonomics and other OSHA standards; and employee assistance programs available. The company regards some issues as falling into zero-tolerance range, but it is rather casual with measures above minimum standards. Instead, it makes tools available for employees and allows them to determine their individual needs. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Pneumatic Nailer Safety
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the use of pneumatic nailing tools at Steinway & Sons, manufacturers of the world's leading piano. The company prizes traditional craftsmanship and traditional processes, with the result that it does not have extensive experience with 'modern' tools and techniques. The company and its craftsmen only grudgingly turn to labor-saving tools and devices such as pneumatic nailers, and it does not have extensive experience in handling air tools. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has guidelines that assist the company in improving safety. The paper offers a suggestion for this safety-conscious company.
