This document discusses operating heavy equipment safely around ground personnel. It identifies many types of heavy equipment that require safe operation near workers on foot. The goal is to prevent accidents between moving equipment and ground workers by ensuring operators can see workers and workers can be seen. Common causes of accidents are discussed, such as runovers from dump trucks backing up. The document provides guidance on management commitment, employee involvement, hazard controls, training, and operator responsibilities to help achieve a safe worksite where the risk of being struck by equipment is minimized.
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.

Safety Man and Machine Presentation June-2019 Rev-1
Every Year a significant number of people get injured and killed by accidents involving vehicles in the workplace
Accidents caused by powered industrial trucks (PIT), commonly called forklifts or lift trucks, can arise due to a misuse of the machinery itself, as well as poor or unsafe working conditions. As an employer, the biggest opportunity for reducing these incidents is to prepare your team and monitor the state of your workplace.
Few engineering or administrative controls are used to protect workers in India's coal mines. Workers are exposed to coal dust which contains respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals. Workers suffer from silicosis and other pulmonary diseases from their workplace exposures in the mines. There is no health insurance and workers have a limited life expectancy.
The Health Safety Executive (HSE) published information on occupational lung disease statistics in Great Britain in 2023. The results underscore exposure to occupational illness in various industries in the UK.
Individual work tasks and business operations vary from industry to industry as well as within each industry. OSHA has collected a wealth of industrial hygiene sample data prior to the change in collection methods. We looked at the OSHA data to determine where the risks occurred within each industry. The results were surprising and the level of effort to inform workers was limited at the same time. Since our investigation, the occupational exposure limits have also changed so we compared the past data sets to the new exposure limits. There were even more surprised in our analysis.
While some stress is good to help drive business excellence, too much stress can have the opposite effect. There are individual variabilities of performance based on experience, education, training, and other psychosocial issues. Understanding stress and how to cope is very important tool. We explore the concerns of workplace stress and stress withing interpersonal relationships.
Migrant children are being exploited as they enter into a new country in order to support their family. These children work in agriculture, construction, and maritime industries. Some are sold as slaves while others are held in bondage or contract labor. No controls are used to protect their health or wellbeing.
After the earthquake in Turkey, workers, public and private citizens were exposed to asbestos, respirable crystalline silica and heavy metals from the debris and cleanup operations. This slide deck helps to illustrate the health hazards created by this disaster. Controls should have been used to reduce the risk of exposure.
Workers, volunteers, and the public are exposed to respirable crystalline silica, asbestos, and heavy metals from both natural and manmade disasters. This presentation looks at the potential occupational health exposures and the controls that could be used to reduce risk.
Workplaces in China have few controls yet they display updated industrial operations showing the hierarchy of controls. In many industries, workers are exposed to very dusty operations from coal mining to construction. This presentation aims to highlight those operations and work tasks where improvements can be made. There are consultants and organizations that could provide support to reduce the risk of exposure and prevent occupational illness and disease.
Business and industry in Bangladesh are different from the remainder of the world. Occupational health and industrial hygiene are poorly represented in the country. Health hazards and risk of occupational illness and disease are prevalent. A hierarchy of controls should be developed by the government and rules of engagement enforced. Tax credits should be given to employers to improve their workplaces and business culture. Investments in human capital should be made to evaluate conditions and provide sustainable improvements to reduce the liability and risk of illness and promote prosperity.
The industrial hygiene profession is expanding far beyond protecting worker health. IHs are looking into climate change, environmental and public health concerns, sustainability, mental health and so much more.
Many questions have been raised regarding the protection of workers and the public during the pandemic. This presentation offers insight into the precautions necessary of preventing exposure and the controls needed to reduce risk.
Industrial hygiene is a science to protect workers from harm due to chemicals, biological and physical agents, radiological and ergonomic exposures. Our professions spans other concerns related to workplace health including drugs and alcohol, mental health and so much more.
What we see does not always relate to the occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace. While doing surveys, our brain only sees 10% of what's actually going on. Learn more how to be more aware of your surroundings.
The business world is changing and the need to keep workers and leaders informed is ever more important. However, the time constraints to deliver the message must be provided in short sound bites so that it can be managed with the myriad of other daily responsibilities. The answer is to provide training when workers and leaders can attend online. Lessons need to be short and deliver meaningful information. The lessons need to build upon each other so the entire message is complete at the end of the training. By reimaging how we can deliver information in a timely fashion will improve our capacity to protect workers, public and the environment in the future.
Occupational and environmental health and safety have taken center stage in all market segments across the globe. The cost benefit of protecting workers, public, and the environment outweighs the cost of negligence and avoidance by limiting liability and risk while improving human performance, productivity, profitability and prosperity.
Mental health and psychosocial disorders are pervasive throughout the business world. Leadership needs to understand the cost benefits of incorporating these issues into existing safety and health management systems to improve the livelihoods of bot workers and their families. By improving policy, programs and procedures, everyone benefits from a better working environment, climate and culture.
Heat stress is a concern for baseball and softball officials doing multiple games over a tournament weekend. Some officials can officiate 9-11 games over a three day period with little rest in between. With elevated air temperatures and relative humidity during mid-day, officials are affected by the environmental conditions. This affects not only their cognitive skills but their physical ability to call plays. Wearing the protective gear places an additional heat strain on the officials behind the plate. This presentation discusses these issues and offers a basic model to judge the relative risk of heat stress for officials and assigners who are in good physical condition.
Industrial hygienists and occupational health professionals have been evaluating work environments and providing solutions to business for decades. With the advancement in technology and expansion of the profession into neighboring disciplines, they can provide total work health to more vulnerable populations across the globe.
The SARS CoV-2 virus has had a different effect on construction as opposed to other industries. These essential workers find themselves in various indoor and outdoor environments either working alone or along side with multiple trades. So the exposures vary with job work tasks and locations. This brief examines when it is necessary to employ more engineering or administrative controls to protect worker health.
Whenever a business is going to make a capital improvement to protect workers from harm, a cost benefit analysis should be done to determine if it is a sound decision. There are several ways to make the determination, which is explored in this brief.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

where they are going!
31. THE DANGER OF BEING
STRUCK-BY
ITEMS TO CONSIDER:
Revolving machines: cranes and backhoes.
Struck-by attachments to machines.
Drawbar and rigging related accidents –
hooking and unhooking.
articulated machines - pinch points.
Attaching homemade devices to a machine,
not approved by manufacture (hooks).
34. THE DANGER OF BEING
STRUCK-BY
Hazard of a water cooler mounted on
machine or a piece of equipment.
Storing crew lunch boxes on equipment.
Hand tools placed or stored on mobile
equipment platforms or decks.
Design of machine or external use of devices
– inability to hear inside/outside of the cab.
35. IN DEFENSE OF THE
EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
Where do all these people come from/work?
Human factors in machine design; not much
thought to ground personnel in the work area.
Faster and bigger machines; not as forgiving
as older, slower, and powerful machines.
Can’t see everything that goes on around the
machine.
Do site personnel on-foot realize the danger?
36. IN DEFENSE OF THE
EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
Operation of the Machine Requires Constant
Vigilance.
Who is responsible for whom? Premise –
everyone is responsible for their own safety.
What about working in close proximity to
obstructions and ground personnel.
