7) Help protect employee by providing a solution to issues
8) Bring together labor and MANAGEMENT for health and safety
9) Help the employee give training to MANAGER , supervision and workers for better hazard
identification and control and health and safety performance.
4. 1) TOOL BOX TALKS
Toolbox talks are a useful tool in the maintenance of
a viable safety and health education program in the
construction industry.
Schedule regular weekly meetings.
Limit topic discussion to about 10 to 15 minutes.
If the talk involves an incident, discuss it with injury
factors, causes and recurrence prevention, rather
than the individual involved in the accident.
If the meeting involves work being planned, discuss
potential hazards, safety equipment to be used and
basic PROCEDURES to be followed.
2) PPE
To ensure the greatest possible protection for
employees in workplace.
FACE AND EYE PROTECTION
HEAD PROTECTION
FOOT PROTECTION
HAND PROTECTION
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
SHIELDS
BARRIERS
5. RESTRAINTS
The PPE rules requires that rings , wristwatches ,
earnings , bracelets and other jewelry must not be
worn if it’s possible for it to come into contact with
power driven machinery or electric circuitry.
3) PERMITS
Various WORK permits and forms are required for
construction and construction-related service activities
such as:
• Penetration Checklist
• Utility Location and Excavation Permit
• Hot WORK Permit
• Life Safety Aisle/Exit Impairment Permit
• Confined Space Entry Permit
• High Hazard Construction Safe Work Permit
• Permit for Energized Electrical Safety
• Drain Connection / New Discharge Approved Form
6. • Fire Protection System Impairment• High Voltage Pre-
Job Safety Checklist / Electrical Shutdown
• Utilities Permit for Modification
4) HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CONTROL
All employees should conduct their work in
compliance with their EMPLOYER ’s safety policies
and rules. Employees should report all injuries
immediately to the person in charge or other
responsible representative of the employer
.employees should make full use of safeguards
provided for their protection
5) RISK ASSESSMENT
The risk score is determined by multiplying the
consequence and likelihood scores you have
recorded for each hazard. To assess the risk
associated with hazards you have identified, ask the
following questions:
How likely is the hazard to cause harm to
someone?
7. What is the worst possible damage the hazard
could cause in terms of human suffering and cost if
you don’t resolve the problem?
How many people are exposed to the risk?
Sometimes it may be the amount of time workers
spend on an activity that creates the safety risk,
rather than the nature of the WORK task itself.
Everyone is different. A hazard may also
pose more risk to some people more than others
because of differences in physical strength,
experience, training etc.
6) JSA
JHA includes three columns
Basic job step
Hazard present
Preventive measures
GOALS WHILE CONDUCTING A JHA
What can go wrong?
What are the consequences?
How could the hazard arise?
What are the other contributing factors?
How likely that hazard is will occur?
8. 7) EXCAVATIONS
Cave-ins are the greatest risk.
Other hazards include:
Asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen
Inhalation of toxic materials
Fire
Moving machinery near the edge of
The excavation can cause a collapse
Accidental severing of underground
Utility lines.
Employees should be protected from cave-ins by
using an adequately designed protective system
Protective systems must be able to resist all
expected loads to the system.
8) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WORK on new and existing energized (hot)
electrical circuits is prohibited until all power is shut
off and grounds are attached.
An effective Lockout/Tag out system is in place.
9. Frayed, damaged or worn electrical cords or cables
are promptly replaced.
All extension cords have grounding prongs
Protect flexible cords and cables from damage.
Sharp corners and projections should be avoided.
Use extension cord sets used with portable electric
tools and appliances that are the three-wire type and
designed for hard or extra-hard service. (Look for
some of the following letters imprinted on the casing:
S, ST, SO, STO.)
All electrical tools and equipment are maintained in
safe condition and checked regularly for defects and
taken out of service if a defect is found.
Do not bypass any protective system or device
designed to protect employees from contact with
electrical energy.
Overhead electrical power lines are located and
identified.
Ensure that ladders, scaffolds, equipment or
materials never come within 10 feet of electrical
power lines.
10. All electrical tools must be properly grounded unless
they are of the double insulated type.
Multiple plug adapters are prohibited
9) HAZARD COMMUNICATION
The hazard communication rule applies to any
chemical which is known to be present in the
workplace in such a manner that employees may be
exposed under normal conditions of use or in a
foreseeable emergency
Chemical manufacturers and importers must obtain
and develop a material safety data sheet for each
hazardous chemical they produce or import and
must develop appropriate labels that provide hazard
warning information.
Employers must develop, implement and maintain a
written hazard communication plan that contains a
list of hazardous chemicals being used in the
workplace, assign responsibilities and
describes PROCEDURES for: Labeling containers
maintaining and using material safety data sheets
11. Information and training Pipe labeling Non routine
tsk procedures Contractor procedures.
10) FIRST AID
According to St. John Ambulance,
―First aid is emergency help given to an injured or
suddenly ill person using readily available materials.
It may be as simple as cleaning and bandaging a
minor cut on a worker’s finger, or it can be
complicated, such as providing care for a worker
who has been struck by a piece of} moving
equipment.
The OBJECTIVES of first aid are the same
regardless of the situation. They are to preserve life
prevent the injury or illness from becoming worse
promote recovery.
11) EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
An action plan to organize employee and
EMPLOYER action during workplace emergencies
COMPONENTS OF AN EFFECTIVEEMERGENCY
ACTION PLAN
Ways to report fires and other emergencies
12. Evacuation procedures
Emergency escape route assignments Procedures
to ACCOUNT for all employee after an emergency
evacuation has been completed
Name or job titles of persons who can be contacted
for further information or explanation of duties under
the plan.
12) FIRE PREVENTION
What does the fire prevention plan do for your
company?
• Serves to reduce the risk of fires at your workplace
The fire triangle• enough oxygen to sustain
combustion• enough heat to rise the material to its’
ignition temperature and• Some sort of fuel or
combustible material
Fire extinguisher ratings• Class a ordinary
combustible• Class b flammable liquids• Class c
electrical equipment• Class d combustible metals•
Class k restaurant kitchens
13. Types of fire extinguishers• Dry chemical
extinguishers• Halon extinguishers• Water
extinguishers• Carbon dioxide extinguishers
HOW TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER• PASS -
PULL – AIM –SQUEEZE-SWEEP
13) LADDERS
. OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injuries and
as many as 36 fatalities per year due to falls on
stairways and ladders used in construction. Nearly
half of these injuries were serious enough to require
time off the job
Use the correct ladder for the task.
Mark or tag (“Do Not Use”) damaged or defective
ladders for repair or replacement.
Never load ladders beyond the maximum intended
load or beyond the manufacturer’s rated capacity.
14) SCAFFOLDS
Hazard: When scaffolds are not erected or used
properly, fall hazards can occur.
14. About 2.3 million construction workers frequently
WORK on scaffolds.
Protecting these workers from scaffold-related
accidents would prevent an estimated 4,500
injuries and 50 fatalities each year.
Scaffold must be sound, rigid and sufficient to carry
its own weight plus four times the maximum
intended load without settling or displacement. It
must be erected on solid footing.
Unstable OBJECTS, such as barrels, boxes,• loose
bricks or concrete blocks must not be used
to support scaffolds or planks
Scaffold must not be erected, moved, dismantled or
altered except under the supervision of a competent
person.
Scaffold must be equipped with guardrails, mid-rails
and toe boards.
Scaffold accessories such as braces, brackets,
trusses, screw legs or ladders that are damaged or
weakened from any cause must be immediately
repaired or replaced.
15. Scaffold platforms must be tightly planked• with
scaffold plank grade material or equivalent.
A “competent person” must inspect the scaffolding
and, at designated intervals, re-inspect it.
Rigging on suspension scaffolds must be inspected
by a competent person before each shift and after
any occurrence that could affect structural integrity
to ensure that all connections are tight and that no•
damage to the rigging has occurred since its last
use.
Synthetic and natural rope used in suspension
Scaffolding must be protected from heat-producing
sources.
Employees must be instructed about the hazards of
using diagonal braces as fall protection.
Scaffold can be accessed by using ladders• and
stairwells.
Scaffolds must be at least 10 feet from• electric
power lines at all times.
16. 15) RECORD KEEPING
The record keeping and reporting rule
requires EMPLOYERS to record and report WORK –
related fatalities, injuries and illnesses.
It’s important to record or report a WORK related
injury, illness or fatality
An injury or illness meets the general
recording CRITERIA and is recordable, if it results in
any one of following six conditions
• Death
• Days away from WORK
• Restricted work or job transfer
• Medical treatment beyond first aid
• Loss of consciousness
• A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a
physician or other licensed health care professional
16) LACKOUT TAGOUT
This PROCEDURE provides the fundamental
components• necessary for the deactivation of the•
mechanical/electrical energy sources through a•
lockout/block-out/ tag out system.
