EHS Daily Advisor Practical EHS Tips, News & Advice. Updated Daily. Updated: Apr 26, 2022 On April 21, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposed revoking its final approval of Arizona’s state workplace safety and health plan (87 Federal Register (FR) 23783). Federal OSHA could resume concurrent workplace safety and health enforcement in the state, as the status of Arizona’s program would revert to initial approval. The agency has tentatively scheduled an informal public hearing on the proposed revocation, beginning August 16 at 10:00 a.m. ET., that may continue over subsequent days. The hearing will be held virtually on WebEx. OSHA initiated the action because Arizona failed to adopt the healthcare COVID-19 emergency temporary standard (ETS) that OSHA issued on June 21, 2021. Under Section 18(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, states with their own occupational safety and health programs must establish and enforce standards at least as effective as federal OSHA standards. OSHA monitors state programs and issues a Federal Annual Monitoring Evaluation (FAME) report each year. In the proposal, the federal agency detailed a “history of shortcomings in the Arizona state plan,” including the state’s failure to adopt the 2021 healthcare ETS. As the state and OSHA discussed the failure to adopt the federal ETS, the Industrial Commission of Arizona said the state could not adopt the ETS based on OSHA’s findings of “grave danger” and “necessity” but would need to make independent findings of “grave danger” and “necessity.” The section of the OSH Act authorizing emergency rules contains a two-prong test for an ETS: The emergency rule must address a grave danger and be necessary to protect workers from that danger. OSHA is asking Arizona to clarify how state law complies with the federal OSHA requirement that a state plan adopt a federal ETS within 30 days of its promulgation. OSHA previously initiated proceedings to revoke approval of Arizona’s state plan. The agency became concerned in 2012 when Arizona’s legislature passed a bill implementing residential construction fall protection requirements that were less effective than the federal standard. Arizona remedied this issue after OSHA initiated revocation proceedings in 2014 and formally rejected Arizona’s fall protection requirements in 2015. The federal agency contends that Arizona also has been delinquent since 2015 in responding to and/or adopting other items necessary to keep Arizona’s program at least as effective as federal OSHA. In every FAME report since fiscal year 2015, federal officials have included a finding regarding Arizona’s failure to respond to and/or adopt standards and directives in a timely manner. Failures in the FAME reports for Arizona have included: According to federal OSHA, Arizona has repeatedly failed to meet deadlines for adopting safety and health standards or has provided inadequate documentation of adoption. Comments on the proposed revocation are due May 26. The proposal included a list of issues that OSHA considers outside the scope of the proposed revocation, such as: PIP® Grippaz® Extended Use Gloves are in a class all their own.

Block, the company formerly known as Square, has disclosed a data breach that involved a former employee downloading unspecified reports pertaining to its Cash App Investing that contained information about its U.S. customers. “While this employee had regular access to these reports as part of their past job responsibilities, in this instance these reports were accessed without permission after their employment ended,” the firm revealed in a April 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Block advertises Cash App as “the easiest way to send money, spend money, save money, and buy cryptocurrency.” The breach is said to have occurred last year on December 10, 2021, with the downloaded reports including customers’ full names as well as their brokerage account numbers, and in some cases, brokerage portfolio value, brokerage portfolio holdings, and stock trading activity for one trading day. The San Francisco-based company emphasized in the filing that the reports did not feature personally identifiable information such as usernames or passwords, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, payment card information, addresses, and bank account details. It’s exactly unknown how many users were impacted by the breach, but Block — which said it discovered the incident only recently — said it’s contacting roughly about 8.2 million current and former customers as part of its response efforts. That said, there’s not much clarity as to when the breach was discovered and how a former employee with the company still managed to access several records containing customer information. While a formal investigation is underway, the financial platform also said it has notified law enforcement and that it “continues to review and strengthen administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information of its customers.” “The company does not currently believe the incident will have a material impact on its business, operations, or financial results,” Block added.

Add your free ebooks to your Kindle and read them on the go. Here’s how. Amazon Kindle is one of the best ebook readers available right now. There are several variants available, and it's a handy device if you're into reading. It's affordable, ergonomic, and best of all, Amazon has got a massive library of ebooks that you can choose from. But, did you know that you can easily download and add free books to your Kindle from other places, too? In this guide, we'll run through the steps to download and put a free ebook on your Kindle. The first thing you need to do is to download Calibre, which is an ebook management solution. There are actually quite a few different ebook management options that you can choose from, but Calibre is generally a good choice since it's lightweight, easy to use, and more importantly, free. You can download Calibre for your operating system and install it. Calibre lets you convert your ebooks into different file formats, including AZW, which is officially supported by Amazon. The next step is to download a free ebook. There are several places from where you can get free ebooks, including a few where you can find especially unique ebooks, too. Remember that this guide is only for copyright-free ebooks. Downloading copyrighted content is illegal, and we are strictly against it. One of the best copyright-free libraries where you can find free ebooks is Project Gutenberg. On there, you can find thousands of copyright-free ebooks. Also, you can get links for Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive. For instance, here's the download page for Homer's The Odyssey in Gutenberg: If you have an EPUB format downloaded, or choose to download that one, you can easily convert it using Calibre. To do that, simply open the program, and select your Kindle device. The next step is to enter your Kindle email address. Instead of having to manually transfer ebooks to your Kindle, you can simply email them. To find your Kindle email address, head to the Manage my Kindle page on Amazon, and select Personal Document Settings. Here, you can view your personal Kindle email, and you can also add new emails through which you can email to your Kindle directly. To prevent spamming, Kindle only lets you email files using pre-approved email addresses. You don't even need to include a subject in the email. Just attach the file and email it to your Kindle account. You will need to add these in Calibre as well to allow for seamless file transfer. Simply open Calibre and select the ebook that you downloaded earlier. In this case, it's Homer's Odyssey. Then, select AZW3 or MOBI from the output format, and click on Convert. It'll take a few seconds for the program to convert your ebook to the relevant format. The next step is to send your converted ebook to your Kindle. Through Calibre, just right-click on the ebook, and go to Connect/Share. You will see an option that says "email to [prefix]@kindle.com]," which is the email address you earlier selected. It will ask if you want to auto-convert the book to MOBI before sending it. Once you select, it'll show you the progress in the Jobs section. Or, you can also send the file directly using your approved email address. Simply open your email, compose a new email, select your attachment, and send it. Your newly downloaded free ebook will now appear in Kindle. You should know that Calibre gives you unprecedented control over your Kindle library, letting you organize your newly downloaded ebooks, or removing older ones. Do ensure that you only download copyright-free ebooks for your Kindle device, and only from legal, verified sources.

What followed was the development of the McGraw Hill ReadAnywhere app. And the shift to digital learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the use of tools like this. Today, ReadAnywhere has passed the milestone of 2 million downloads and has an above average 4.7 rating out of 5 on the Apple App Store, with more than 10,000 ratings from users. Throughout the pandemic, the ability to study in multiple environments with a variety of devices became more critical than ever. To fulfill this need, hundreds of thousands of students across the country turned to ReadAnywhere, which lets McGraw Hill eBook users access their course eBook anytime, anywhere on their smartphone or tablet. In March of 2020, the app had 863,788 downloads; one year later that number soared to over 1.7 million. As we begin a new school year, the app now has 2.1 million downloads and is available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. For more information about the ReadAnywhere app, visit: mheducation.com/readanywhere. ReadAnywhere lets students do just that – read anywhere – from any tablet or smartphone, no internet connection necessary. But the app goes further than just reading. Users can take notes, have content read aloud, highlight text, and complete assignments, all while offline. ReadAnywhere includes the same functionality as the McGraw Hill eBook and the eBook offered in its digital learning platform, McGraw Hill Connect. When connected to Wi-Fi, it will auto-sync across multiple platforms. "Now more than ever before, students need freedom and flexibility in where and when they study," said Michael Ryan, President of McGraw Hill’s Higher Education group. "We are thrilled that so many are using the ReadAnywhere app on their personal learning journey." During the pandemic, growth in the use of McGraw Hill Connect has accelerated as well. Student activations of Connect increased 27 percent from 2020 to more than six million globally in 2021. In the same period, college campuses participating in Inclusive Access programs with McGraw Hill increased from 1,100 to 1,400, reflecting the shift to online learning. Inclusive Access programs represent a partnership among institution, bookstore and publisher, delivering course materials to students by the first day of class at prices that are well below market rates. The reduced prices of course materials delivered via Inclusive Access programs saved students more than $150 million nationally last year alone. # # # McGraw Hill McGraw Hill is a learning science company that delivers personalized learning experiences that drive results for students, parents, educators and professionals.
