Proper prevention techniques include good housekeeping to clean spills and remove obstacles, using the right footwear for the environment, and practicing safe behaviors like not running or carrying items that block your view. Employers are responsible for providing a safe work environment, while all employees should take responsibility for working safely, such as using handrails and following ladder safety procedures to avoid falls.
This document discusses preventing falls, slips, and trips (FSTs) in the workplace. It notes that FSTs accounted for over $5 million in workers' compensation costs in Georgia in 2011 and were the leading cause of injuries. It identifies common causes of FSTs like wet or slippery surfaces, uneven walking areas, clutter, and poor lighting. The document provides guidance on prevention strategies like maintaining good housekeeping, wearing appropriate footwear, fixing hazards, and paying attention while walking. It emphasizes that FSTs can often be prevented through awareness of risks and applying basic safety practices.
The document discusses preventing workplace harassment. It defines harassment and outlines employers' and employees' responsibilities. Harassment includes unwelcome conduct based on characteristics like race, sex, or disability. It becomes unlawful if it creates a hostile work environment or is a condition of employment. The document describes types of harassment like sexual harassment, quid pro quo harassment, hostile work environment, and third-party harassment. It provides guidance on reporting harassment, protecting yourself, and supervisors' responsibilities to address harassment complaints.
This document discusses the function of warehouses and operational support equipment in emergencies. Warehouses serve as transhipment points and to store and protect humanitarian cargo. Key criteria for assessing warehouse sites include structure, access, security, conditions, facilities, and location. Emergency storage options include existing buildings, mobile storage units, and constructing new warehouses. Support equipment requirements depend on the operational set-up and may include mobile storage units, office/accommodation prefabs, generators, and forklifts.
This document discusses the prevention of sexual harassment (POSH) in the military. It defines sexual harassment and outlines inappropriate behaviors like lewd comments and unwanted touching that create a hostile work environment. Service members are expected to treat each other with dignity and respect. The Uniform Code of Military Justice establishes penalties for sexual harassment and retaliation. Leaders are responsible for addressing issues and complaints, whether through informal resolution or formal procedures.
This training document covers sexual harassment, defining it as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. It outlines two types - quid pro quo, where submission is required for a job or benefit, and hostile environment. Examples of verbal, non-verbal and physical behaviors are provided. The document also discusses the individual, organizational and economic effects of sexual harassment, and strategies for prevention and response, including training, assessments and addressing issues before escalation. Resources for assistance are listed.
This document provides a summary of a company's sexual harassment training for employees. It defines sexual harassment, outlines the company's anti-harassment policy, and explains employees' obligations to avoid inappropriate conduct and report any instances of harassment. The training defines quid pro quo and hostile work environment harassment, provides examples of inappropriate verbal, visual and physical conduct, and instructs employees to promptly report any harassment to the appropriate parties.
The document summarizes the key findings and recommendations of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report on sexual harassment of women in academic sciences, engineering and medicine. The committee found that sexual harassment is common, negatively impacts women's careers and health, and is associated with male-dominated environments and climates that tolerate harassment. It recommends that institutions address gender harassment, move beyond legal compliance to change culture, and that professional societies help drive cultural changes. A system-wide effort is needed to create inclusive environments and prevent all forms of harassment.
1) A scaffold is a temporary elevated work platform used in construction. There are three main types: supported, suspended, and aerial lifts.
2) Scaffolds must be designed by a qualified person to support at least four times the intended load. They must have a sound footing and be properly inspected before each use.
3) Scaffold safety requires fall protection such as guardrails if a fall could be over 10 feet, and the supervision of a competent person during erection, alteration or dismantling. Hazard prevention includes securing scaffolds in high winds and keeping them clear of ice and snow.
The document discusses the role and qualities of a supervisor. It defines a supervisor as someone primarily in charge of a section and its employees, who is responsible for production quantity and quality. A supervisor derives authority from department heads to direct employees' work and ensure tasks are completed according to instructions. Effective supervision requires leadership, motivation, and communication skills. The supervisor acts as a link between management and workers, communicating policies and opinions in both directions. To be effective, a supervisor must have technical competence, managerial qualities, leadership skills, instruction skills, human orientation, decision-making abilities, and knowledge of rules and regulations.
Oregon State University provides a safety orientation for new employees that covers the following key points:
1) OSU is committed to ensuring a safe work environment and holds supervisors accountable for safety responsibilities. Disregard of safety policies may result in discipline.
2) The Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) oversees compliance with regulations from agencies like OSHA and ensures expertise in areas such as radiation, biological, and chemical safety.
3) New employees must review materials on hazard communication and complete any required job-specific safety training with their supervisors. Documentation of all training is mandatory.

37. Wet filling appeared during the
early years of SCUBA diving.
There were many reasons given
for the use of the water bath
among them:
explosive energy
absorption
cooling cylinders
providing fresh water bath
for the cylinder
Wet Fill or Dry?
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
38. “Contains Explosive Force”
Filling in water bath DOES NOT
dissipate explosive forces
Water is virtually incompressible
- the force transfers to the
container
The result can be
catastrophic
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
39. “Cooling Cylinders”
Wet fills do not significantly
reduce the temperature of a fill at
300-600 psig/min.
Only when left long enough
(typically 1.5 or more hours) in the
water would this make a
difference
Cooling the cylinder does not cool
the gas inside at the same rate
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
40. “Fresh Water Bath”
Most facilities do not regularly
change their water
Becomes a concentrated salt
bath increasing chance of
corrosion
Water can enter cylinders during fills
in a water bath whenever the
cylinder valve drops into the water or
fill whip terminal ends can reach the
water.
Increases chances of corrosion
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
42. Ensure moisture separator discharges properly
Fill the cylinder DRY
Store cylinders in a vertical, valve side up position,
to isolate corrosion
Avoid Moisture and Contaminates
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
43. Questions for the Owner
Has the cylinder been functioning properly?
Has the cylinder been involved in any unusual
situations?
Has the cylinder been repainted or exposed to
heat?
If filled, what gas does it contain?
Make certain questionable empty cylinders are
inspected.
The owner should not be evasive with
their answers as to why the tank is empty
PSI-PCI, Inc. 2014 All Rights Reserved
44. Transportation

It is imperative to blow out valves and fill whips prior to connecting to prevent introduction of contaminates to cylinder
FSO is responsible for judgment call on cylinder condition for filling
A cylinder is “acceptable”, “rejectable” or “condemnable”
Check with local and state laws
A respirator by definition is the entire unit: valve, mask, cylinder, pack or any associated equipment
As is
Cylinders used for “quick filling” or “emergency filling” should be like new or in pristine condition
As is
