Spring 2014 THE KANSAS AGRIBUSINESS UPDATE 3

KARA members visit Statehouse on Legislative Action Day On January 24, KARA, in conjunction with the Kansas Grain and Feed Association and the Kansas Cooperative Council, held its Legislative Action Day at the Statehouse. The day started out with a lunch for members at the Topeka Country Club where incoming Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey and Kansas Water Office Director Tracy Streeter spoke at length to an audience of over 100 members of the three associations on the Governor’s development of a 50 year vision for water policy in Kansas. After the presentations from some of Kansas’ top leaders, KARA staff Ron Seeber and Randy Stookey and KCC President Leslie Kaufman gave a briefing to members on key points they need to update their legislators on regarding the industry. Those items include proper funding of the scales program, taxation policy, common sense immigration reform, trespasser liability, and a proposed bill dealing with spray drift. After the briefing, members headed to the statehouse and met with their elected representatives and senators. After meeting, members returned to the Country Club where they spent time with the governor, numerous legislators and other elected officials. The association staff is very appreciative of our members who set aside work and traveled to our state capitol. Their actions speak volumes to our Legislature and will help the industry promote good policy and avoided proliferation of ill-conceived agendas.

KARA officers travel to Washington, D. C. KARA Chairman Mike Shirley, SFP in Oakley, and Vice Chairman Kevin Brady, Lang Diesel in Benton, along with KARA President Tom Tunnell spent three days in Washington, D. C. meeting with Kansas Congressmen and Senators to inform them about important issues impacting the fertilizer and chemical industry. The KARA group joined several state associations in a coordinated fly-in sponsored by the Agricultural Retailers Association, CropLife America, and The Fertilizer Institute.

Issues discussed included: the Clean Water Act, agricultural tax policy, GMO labeling, and the Chemical Facility Anti-terrorism Standard Program. The KARA officers had personal visits with Senators Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts along with Congressmen Kevin Yoder, Mike Pompeo, Tim Huelskamp, and Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins.

KARA celebrates Kansas Ag Day In recognition of the state’s largest industry, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback declared March 23-29 as Kansas Agriculture Week, and KARA was proud to be a sponsor of the celebration. The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA), along with help from the agricultural community, Dillon’s Food Stores, and several local food banks, planned a number of activities for Kansas Agriculture Week. One event that was highlighted was the Neighbor to Neighbor statewide food drive, which ran from March 3 to March 25 and raised thousands of meals for Kansas families in need. Another featured event was Kansas Agriculture Day at the Capitol, which took place on Tuesday, March 25 at the Kansas Statehouse, and allowed KARA the opportunity to host a booth and distribute industry information to legislators and Statehouse visitors.

And Safety For All By Randy Stookey, KARA General Counsel Recently, an association member presented an interesting - if not alarming - question to association staff. The member described a situation where an inspector with a federal agency failed to follow standard operating safety procedures regarding bin entry. Even after the inspector was notified of the safety rule, and was asked to comply, the facility could not gain compliance with the safety standard. What is a facility to do in this situation? As an industry, we are acutely aware of our legal, regulatory, and moral duty to ensure the safety of all persons on-site, at all times. Clearly, we understand that our safety standards and procedures apply to our employees, on-site contract workers, and visitors. We are made especially aware of this standard by the heightened scrutiny placed on our industry under OSHA’s Local Emphasis Program. However, unique circumstances exist during interactions when official state and federal inspection personnel are on-site. The normal flow of daily operations is interrupted, and Operations Managers and Safety Officers find themselves removed from their normal duties to locate and provide records, answer questions, and accompany inspectors around the facility. Through all of this, we can become preoccupied and not fully recognize our duty to ensure the safety of the inspection staff, or assume that they will automatically conduct themselves in a professional and safe manner. So what happens in the rare circumstance when inspection personnel unnecessarily expose themselves to unsafe or hazardous situations in violation of our (and OSHA) safety standards? Are our hands tied so that the inspectors simply have free reign of our facilities? In finding answers to these difficult – but vitally important – questions, I spoke with the Acting Director of DOL/OSHA’s Regional Office in Wichita, and received the following guidance on the proper procedure to handle such situations: 1. Federal agencies are required to promulgate safety

standard operating procedures (SOP) for their

employees. (29 CFR, Part 1960.1(g)). 2. When a federal inspector is on-site at a facility,

that inspector is required to follow the agency’s inspection SOPs and safety procedures.

3. Federal inspectors are also required to comply with all OSHA industry workplace safety standards.

4. If an inspector’s activities are not consistent with OSHA workplace safety standards, then the facility may expose themselves to both private liability and regulatory enforcement action for any injuries caused by accidents related to that noncompliant, unsafe behavior.

5. In order to protect the facility from liability and regulatory enforcement actions, it is advised that the facility’s safety officer initially notify inspection personnel of its safety SOPs prior to the inspection, make a record of that notice, and accompany the inspection personnel at all times while on-site.

6. If the safety officer observes any unsafe activity by the inspection personnel, the safety officer should immediately notify the inspector of the safety SOP requirement, explain why the action is unsafe and in violation of the safety SOP, and provide the inspector with an alternative action in compliance with the safety SOP.

7. If the inspection personnel refuses to comply with the safety SOP and continues the unsafe activity, the safety officer should request a brief delay in the inspection in order to consult with the inspection personnel’s supervisor.

8. The safety officer, or operations officer, should then immediately contact the inspection personnel’s supervisor to find a resolution to the situation, being prepared to provide the inspection personnel’s supervisor with the following information: the site location, the name of the inspector, the pertinent facts of the safety violation to include the safety standard that was/or would have been violated, the request that was made to the inspector to alter their activity, and the inspector’s response to that request.

9. If the matter is resolved through contact with the area supervisor, then the safety officer should make an internal memorandum of record detailing:

A. the site location and a general description of the site

B. the name of the inspector(s)


C. the date of the incident (or incidents if this has happened on prior occasions)

D. a record of the safety briefing, if any, conducted prior to the inspection

E. the pertinent facts of the safety violation to include the standard that was/or would have been violated

F. the clear directive/request that was made to the inspector to stop the unsafe activity

G. the inspector’s specific response to that directive

H. the fact that the inspector was provided with an alternative action to complete the inspection in a manner that was consistent with safety standards

I. the inspection personnel’s response to the alternative action request

J. the name and contact information of the person that the safety officer or operations officer contacted in the inspector’s chain of command following the inspector’s refusal to follow the safety SOP and directive, and

K. any other information deemed relevant to the situation.

10. Note: This is a vitally important step in protecting the elevator from future civil suit or regulatory enforcement actions.

11. If the matter is not resolved through contacting the inspection personnel’s supervisor, then the safety officer should contact their area OSHA office or KGFA for further assistance.

12. When the safety officer contacts the area OSHA office or KGFA, he/she should be prepared to provide all of the information above, along with a brief explanation of the response received from the inspector’s supervisor, and why that response did not resolve the situation.

13. Remember that the more facts you can provide to OSHA the better OSHA will be equipped to assist the elevator in resolving the noncompliance.

I hope you have found this information helpful. Remember, most inspectors intend to do their job in a professional and safe manner. The best approach to resolving any issue with inspection personnel is to address the issue on the lowest (and most direct) level as possible. As always, however, your association staff is here to assist you whenever possible.

ResponsibleAg Update Asmark Institute On February 18, 2014 ARA and TFI announced plans to create ResponsibleAg, an independent, not-for-profit organization designed to support fertilizer retailers’ compliance with federal safety and security regulations. Under ResponsibleAg, retail fertilizer dealerships will have access to comprehensive inspections based on federal regulatory requirements. The inspections will be carried out by trained auditors who will have successfully completed an intensive training course based on the objectives of ResponsibleAg. “While the vast majority of fertilizer retail businesses operate safely, securely and in compliance with federal regulations, we are acting out of an abundance of caution and concern for the well-being of workers and communities,” said TFI President Chris Jahn. “ResponsibleAg will verify compliance at more facilities and with greater speed than is currently being done by the multitude of federal agencies that regulate the nation’s fertilizer retailers, so we are choosing to act now rather than waiting for the next government inspection.” “ResponsibleAg will help ensure existing regulations are conveyed and easily understood by fertilizer retailers,” said ARA President & CEO Daren Coppock. “Retailers want to do the right thing, but overlapping, duplicative or potentially conflicting requirements make compliance a challenge. This program will help retailers by collecting the regulatory requirements into one standard, and offering them tools and information to ensure their facilities conform to all current federal regulations.” ResponsibleAg will credential auditors who will inspect and verify individual facilities’ level of compliance with applicable federal regulations. Facilities that successfully complete assessments will be recognized for having done so. Any site that does not successfully complete an assessment will be provided a list of recommended corrective actions. Additionally, random quality assurance reviews to verify the assessments will be conducted by third party auditors.

TFI and ARA are each contributing $100,000 in startup capital for the organization, and the Asmark Institute is providing an ongoing contribution that provides for training programs, training facilities and administration of the ResponsibleAg website and database. Once established, ResponsibleAg will be funded by registration fees paid by participating fertilizer storage and handling inventory points and their suppliers. Auditor training costs will be funded by tuition paid by those seeking the ResponsibleAg auditor credential. Membership in TFI, ARA or any other organization is not a requirement for participation. “ARA and TFI are committed to ResponsibleAg as a common sense approach to mitigating the potential of another accident like the one in West,” Coppock said. “Compliance needs to be the focus rather than a push for broad new regulations. The effort and resources retailers dedicate to compliance should be directed towards achieving the greatest level of safety and security possible for employees, first responders and the communities in which our members live and work.”

EPA reorganizes pesticide registration

information on web EPA has created a new area on its website that contains all of its information on pesticide registration. Pulling from existing material, the new pesticide registration area is designed to help users find what they need easily and quickly. EPA’s new pesticide registration site can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-registration. Under clearly defined topic headings, visitors will have easy access to information on: pesticide registration, fees and fee waivers, how to register a pesticide, types of registrations under pesticide laws, types of pesticides that can be registered, and registration forms and guidance documents.

OSHA addresses fertilizer safety in letter The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a letter regarding safe manufacturing, storage, distribution and use of ammonium nitrate.

As requested by OSHA, the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) is distributing this information so retailers are informed about the resources OSHA has made available and more fully understand how the agency is addressing ammonium nitrate safety following the West Fertilizer accident. The letter can be found at www.ksagretailers.org.

Safety & security guidelines for storage

and transportation of ammonium nitrate at

retail facilities The Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) and The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) recently developed a guidance document on safety and security guidelines for the storage and transportation of ammonium nitrate at retail facilities. This guidance document, drafted with much industry input, is a great resource for all members who handle fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate. The guidance document is available in pdf format to all KARA members upon request.
