- 1. ICA 120 CHAPTER 1 INTRO TO SAFETY
- 2. Responsibility for Safety: Employer • Your Employer must: – Select safe equipment – Identify and control hazards – Establish safety rules and procedures
- 3. Responsibility for Safety: Employee • You are responsible for: – Arriving at work in good physical condition – Completing your tasks as trained – Following the safety rules and procedures – Using your brain, not just your back
- 4. Some Terms • Accident – an unexpected event resulting in injury, illness, or property damage. • Hazard- a condition that could cause an injury.
- 5. New Employee Orientation • Tour of the work area • Location of medical care • Method of reporting injuries • Location of fire and emergency equipment • Required personal protective equipment • Incentive and awards programs • Housekeeping requirements • Required department inspections • Plant safety rules
- 6. Bulletin Boards/Communication • Required federal/state safety posters • Additional safety posters on a wide variety of subjects • Method of obtaining emergency care • Plant safety rules • Plant emergency plan and map • List and location of all chemicals used in each department
- 7. Training • Required training for the job being assigned • Use of powered industrial equipment • Safe handling of chemicals on the job • Proper lifting and carrying techniques • First aid and CPR procedures • Emergency evacuation, weather emergencies, fire safety procedures • Information covered by signs and tags
- 8. Additional Training • Use of forklifts and cranes • Machine safety • Lockout/tagout procedures • Use of respirators and other personal protective equipment • Radiation, fumes, mists, gases, etc. • Welding and cutting procedures • Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- 9. Incentive Programs • Some companies use incentive programs to encourage safe work habits – The incentives could include extra time off with pay, bonuses, social events, dinners, etc.
- 10. Food For Thought • Safety experts agree that a hazardous condition usually causes many close calls before it causes a major accident. • On average a person may have 300 unsafe acts/close calls before a major accident occurs. • You are not guaranteed 300 unsafe acts/close calls before you are horribly injured and scarred for life (if lucky) • Safety committees are developed to allow employees and supervisors to meet and discuss safety issues.

- 12. Examples • Not wearing required PPE • Engaging in horseplay, distractions, or teasing • Operating any equipment without being trained properly • Operating equipment outside its intended operating range • Failing to secure or store objects properly • Failing to warn or give information or signals to others
