This document discusses health, safety, and environmental issues at a company. It notes there have been some wind damage issues reported recently. It prompts ensuring routine inspections are scheduled and carried out after high winds to identify damage and put controls in place. When planning work, the document emphasizes considering weather, securing loose items that could blow away, and accounting for wind in tasks like crane use. It also reminds office workers to be mindful of wind hazards like car doors blowing and to secure windows and doors. Maintaining alertness to wind issues can help prevent injuries and damage.

This presentation describes how NYU has cultivated a robust startup community, both within our university and the broader NYC startup ecosystem. It provides an overview of the strategy we've implemented to build and foster the community, sharing specific programs, events, and resources that have been successful at NYU and that other universities, cities, or organizations could replicate.

WHAT? Within our industry the personal health effects of noise and vibration are well known and should now be embedded in your Company Health and safety arrangements. Construction industry is one of the leading sources of noise complaints made to Local Authorities. Something is considered ‘noisy’ when the sound is unwanted by the listener. Noise and vibration emissions can disturb local residents and give rise to complaints and delays.
Silo explodes at ready-mix plant...The top (cap) of the silo was thrown into the air, across a road, landing in an adjacent property. Fortunately, no injuries occurred as a result of this incident.
Dust and emissions, such as the recent publicity in the national press relating to the health hazards of particulates in diesel powered vehicles exhaust emissions, can cause health risks and odours at high concentrations may annoy neighbours and those affected by our activities.
Oxygen is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas and makes up to 21% of the air we breathe, it has a relative density of 1.1 which means it is slightly heavier than air.
Oils, greases, solvents and PTFE tape may react violently with oxygen. You should never use oil or grease to lubricate oxygen or oxygen enriched equipment as they can spontaneously burn with explosive violence.
Lifting and rigging operations are some of the most hazardous activities we regularly undertake, day in day out. The consequences of something going wrong during a lifting or rigging operation can literally be fatal.
TOOLBOX TALK | safe use of lift trucks and telehandlersAlan Bassett
Lift trucks are widely used throughout industry for moving materials and goods, but they also feature prominently in workplace accidents. Even an incident not causing injury may result in costly damage to lift trucks, buildings, fittings and the goods being handled.
Last year in the UK 40 people died and nearly 43,000 reported non fatal injuries as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for around 15% of all such injuries...
During December the monthly average number of fires, injuries and fatalities more than doubles in households across the UK.

Winter is almost upon us and at this time of the year snow and ice introduce an additional hazard on scaffold platforms and access’s. This toolbox talk covers both working on scaffolds and the hazards of winter.

There have been a number of wind damage related issues reported at work in the
first few weeks of the year. You may have suffered similar damage at home.
This knowledge should prompt us into a number of actions/activities.
Have we ………
• Routine area inspections scheduled – Proactive
• Carried out inspections in our areas following high winds - Reactive
• Put adequate controls in place where we have found damage - Reactive
• Arranged for appropriate repairs to be carried out - Reactive
• Made arrangements to ensure inspections are carried out again following
the next bout of high winds - Proactive
Planning work ….
When we are planning tasks or activities there is a need to take the weather, and
wind in particular, into account. We can utilise long range weather forecasts to help
with this planning.
For tasks like use of a hired crane this may appear obvious - but don‟t forget to
consider the removal of small items such as a machine guard or covers or anything
that can act as a „sail‟ . These still need to be considered to avoid loss, damage or
injury …. e.g.
- Doors / access panels should be securely closed following any work eg. access
doors to buildings, coal conveyor accesses etc
- Items removed should be stored securely so they can‟t blow away and cause
damage ( remember the lifting ‟A‟ frame at the air compressor station ?)
- Be particularly aware of doors / covers on equipment (injury to one of our
employees was caused in 2010 by a cover being blown onto the side of his
head).
- When working at height ensure that all debris/waste is removed at the end of
the work period.
- Maintenance items left at height must be secured against being blown away
- We all need to be mindful of vehicle doors and the foreseeable consequences of
the wind blowing the door from our grasp.
2. Office workers ……
Just because office workers are not “out on plant”, this does not remove
the need for them to be aware of the hazards posed by wind, and they
also should be aware and take appropriate precautions, such as ……
Be particularly mindful of car doors being blown by the wind –
either onto your own hand or another car.
Make sure office windows and doors are secured at the end of
each working day / shift
Make sure windows in meeting rooms and common areas are
secured as you leave them – they may not be used again that day
Maintaining our alertness and proactivity in this way will help to prevent
injuries, water ingress, as well as wind and other damage, and will also
improve security for our assets and personal property.
When planning activities, if the Long Range Weather Forecast identifies a
probable wind speed, the chart above identifies what reaction the wind
causes.
Sembcorp do not allow outside roof work above 20 mph wind speed.
