The defense was successful in portraying Michael Jackson favorably to the jury in several ways:
1) They dressed Jackson in ornate costumes that conveyed images of purity, innocence, and humility.
2) Jackson was shown entering the courtroom as if on a red carpet, emphasizing his celebrity status.
3) Jackson appeared vulnerable, childlike, and in declining health during the trial, eliciting sympathy from jurors.
4) Defense attorney Tom Mesereau effectively presented a coherent narrative of Jackson as a victim and portrayed Neverland as a place of refuge, undermining the prosecution's arguments.
Michael Jackson was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana and rose to fame in the 1960s as the lead singer of The Jackson 5, topping music charts in the 1970s. As a solo artist in the 1980s, his album Thriller broke music records. In the 1990s and 2000s, Jackson faced several legal issues related to child abuse allegations while continuing to release music. He married Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe and had two children before his death in 2009.

The prosecution lost the Michael Jackson trial due to several key mistakes and weaknesses in their case:
1) The lead prosecutor, Thomas Sneddon, was too personally invested in the case against Jackson, having pursued him for over a decade without success.
2) Sneddon's opening statement was disorganized and weak, failing to effectively outline the prosecution's case.
3) The accuser's mother was not credible and damaged the prosecution's case through her erratic testimony, history of lies and con artist behavior.
4) Many prosecution witnesses were not credible due to prior lawsuits against Jackson, debts owed to him, or having been fired by him. Several witnesses even took the Fifth Amendment.

Program Responsibilities
As a supervisor, the single most important responsibility you have is to keep your
workers safe and alive. Sadly, many supervisors continue to overlook this critical
aspect of their duties. As a result, the workers they are supposed to be protecting
are getting seriously hurt or killed in mishaps that are completely preventable.
This guide was developed to assist you as the supervisor with the tools necessary
to identify all hazards in your work center and provide appropriate safety training
to those workers you have been entrusted to protect.

Supervisor Steps to Compliance
Reference: BLM Manual 1112,Safety, section.04 E
1. Complete the Administrative Workplace Hazard Assessment. This is a
checklist that identifies hazard areas found in your workplace. Add to this
assessment any other hazards which are not listed on the assessment.
2. Complete a risk management worksheet if there are any processes or
operations that require further analysis. Most administrative areas do not require
further Risk Assessments (RA). Contact your Collateral Duty Safety Officer or
Safety Manager to determine if any further analysis is required.
3. Develop a Job Safety Training Outline for each employee. When a group of
employees share common hazards and work areas then only one training outline
needs to be developed. When hazards or work areas are different for different
employees, a job safety training outline will need to be developed to address the
additional hazards and work areas for each employee.
4. Identify safety training your personnel will require. Ensure that the training is
provided and document training.
5. Manage your safety program:
a. Inspect your work area, document inspections
b. Have safety meetings
c. Maintain the Employee Safety and Health Briefing
d. Document training
e. Provide employees access to hazard reporting documents and avenues
f. Post required visual aids on bulletin boards
g. Maintain required documentation

Workplace Hazard Analysis
Introduction:
The first step in your safety program is to analyze the work area for hazards. In
this section we have provided you with a checklist of common administrative
hazards. As the supervisor you will need to identify which hazards are applicable
to their employee. At the end of the checklist you will add any hazards that are not
already identified.
Supervisor Requirement:
Identify hazards employees are exposed to by completing a Work Area Hazard
Assessment.
Steps to compliance:
Complete the Work Area Hazard Assessment. Check the hazards that apply to
your area. List any other hazards not listed on the Assessment that employees
may be exposed to in their work areas. Consider hazards associated with
exposure in other work areas or TDYs. In some cases employees will need to be
briefed on the hazards by the supervisor in the other work area.
Documentationyou are required to produce (Keep in this tab):

Work Area Hazard Assessment
Supervisor Instruction: Check the hazards which apply to your area. These are to
be briefed as items 1 and 2 on the Employee Safety and Health Brief. If your
employees go into non-administrative areas with hazards, they will need to be
briefed on those hazards.
Struck By or Striking Objects
Striking against objects is a major cause of office injuries. Incidents of
this type include:
Bumping into doors, desks, file cabinets, and open drawers.
Bumping into other people while walking.
Striking open file drawers while bending down or straightening up.
Striking against sharp objects such as office machines, spindle files,
staples, and pins.
Objects striking employees occur as a resultof:
Office supplies sliding from shelves or cabinet tops.
Overbalanced file cabinets in which two or more drawers were opened at
the same time or in which the file drawer was pulled out too far.
Machines, such as computers and printers that were dropped on feet.
Doors that were opened suddenly from the other side.
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
When opening filing cabinet drawers, open one drawer at a time. Opening
more than one drawer, especially near the top can cause the entire cabinet
to tip over.
Close drawers after you are done looking in them.
Pay attention to where you are walking and to the task you are presently
doing at all times.
Do only one task at a time.
Properly store materials in your work area. To reduce strain and the
chance of being struck by a falling object, rearrange your work area so that
you do not have to reach up to retrieve a heavy binder or book that is
above your work station.
8. Version 12-08 8
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Keep items within 16 inches of your body. Don’t reach too far out from your
body or too far above your head. Get close to the object you’re reaching
for. When reaching up, keep your arms below shoulder level whenever
possible. Use a stool or ladder if necessary; NOT a chair.
Never carry objects that prevent you from seeing ahead of you.
Proper material storage and use of storage devices can avoid these
accidents.
MaterialStorageHazards
Office materials that are improperly stored can lead to objects falling on workers,
Poor visibility can cause personnel to run into personnel and objects.
Fire load can increase due to material which creates a fire hazard. A good
housekeeping program will reduce or eliminate hazards associated with improper
storage of materials. Examples of improper storage include - disorderly piling, piling
materials too high, and obstructing doors, aisles, fire exits and fire-fighting
equipment.
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
Boxes, papers, and other materials should not be stored on top of lockers or
file cabinets because they can cause landslide problems. Boxes and cartons
should all be of uniform size in any pile or stack. Always stack material in such
a way that it will not fall over.
Store heavy objects on lower shelves.
Try to store materials inside cabinets, files, and lockers.
Office equipment such as typewriters, index files, lights or calculators should
not be placed on the edges of a desk, filing cabinet, or table.
Aisles, corners, and passageways must remain unobstructed. There should be
no stacking of materials in these areas.
Storage areas should be designated and used only for that purpose. Store
heavy materials so you do not have to reach across something to retrieve
them.
Fire equipment, extinguishers, fire door exits, and sprinkler heads should
remain unobstructed. Materials should be at least 18 inches minimum away
from sprinkler heads.
CaughtIn or Between Objects
Another leading category of disabling incidents occurs as a result of office workers
who get their fingers or articles of clothing caught in or between objects. Office
workers may be injured as a result of:
9. Version 12-08 9
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Fingers caught in a drawer, door, or window.
Fingers, hair or articles of clothing and jewelry caught in office machines.
Fingers caught under the knife-edge of a paper cutter.
Sharp Objects
Sharp objects must be handled carefully; be careful when handling papers,
scissors, razor blades, or cutters.
Ergonomic Hazards
Neck, shoulder and back pain due to posture
Eye strain
Carpal Tunnel
Back Injury
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
Ergonomics means fitting the workplace to the workers by modifying or
redesigning the job, workstation, tool or environment. Workstation design can
have a big impact on office workers health and well being. There are a multitude
of discomforts which can result from ergonomically incorrect computer workstation
setups. The most common complaints relate to the neck, shoulders, and back.
Others concern the arms and hands and occasionally the eyes. For example,
poor chairs and/or bad postures can cause lower back strain; or a chair that is too
high can cause circulation loss in legs and feet. Certain common characteristics of
video display terminal (VDT) jobs have been identified and associated with
increased risk of musculoskeletal problems. These include:
Design of the workstation
Nature of the task
Repetitiveness of the job
Degree of postural constraint
Work pace
Work/rest schedules
Personal attributes of individual workers
The key to comfort is in maintaining the body in a relaxed, neutral position. The ideal
work position is to have the arms hanging relaxed from the shoulders. If a keyboard
is used, arms should be bent at right angles at the elbow, with the hands held in a
straight line with forearms and elbows close to the body. The head should be in lined
with the body and slightly forward.
Arranging Your Workstation to Fit You
10. Version 12-08 10
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Adjust the height of the chair’s seat such that the thighs are horizontal while
the feet are flat on the floor. You can do this before you even sit down in the
chair. Stand in front of the chair and adjust the height so that the highest point
of the seat is just below the kneecap.
Adjust the seat pan depth
such that your back is
supported by the chair’s
backrest. In the front, the
clearance between the edge
of the seat and the back of
your knees should be just
large enough to fit a
clenched fist between them.
Adjust the backrest vertically
so that is supports/fits the
curvature of your lower back.
With the arms at your sides and the elbow joint approximately 90 degrees,
adjust the height/position of the chair armrests to support the forearms.
Adjust the height of the keyboard such that the fingers rest on the keyboard
home row when the arm is to the side, elbow at 90 degrees, and the wrist
straight.
Place the mouse, trackball, or special keypads, next to the keyboard tray.
Keep the wrist in a neutral position with the arm and hand close to the body.
Use the armrest on the chair or rest your arm on another available support
while using the mouse. Rest your finger on the button, don’t hold it hovering
above the mouse and don’t grip it too tightly.
Adjust the height of the monitor such that the top of the screen is at eye level.
If bifocals/trifocals are used, place the monitor at a height that allows easy
viewing without tipping the head back.
Place reference documents on a document holder close to the screen and at
the same distance from the eye.
A footrest may be necessary if the operator cannot rest his/her feet
comfortably on the floor.
Applying Good Work Practices
The way a task is performed and the workstation environment it is performed in can
influence the risk of injury and general work productivity. Good technique can make a job
easy and safe to accomplish.
Adjust the drapes or blinds to minimize window glare.
Move the monitor away from sources of glare or direct light. Position it
parallel to overhead lights and perpendicular to the windows.
Tip the monitor slightly downward.
Use diffusers on overhead lighting.
11. Version 12-08 11
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Place an anti-glare filter on the screen.
Clean the monitor screen on a regular basis.
Avoid cradling the telephone between the head and shoulder. Hold the
phone with your hand, use the speakerphone, or a headset.
Keep frequently used items like the telephone, reference materials, and
pens/pencils within easy reach.
Position the monitor directly in front of the user.
Move between different postures regularly.
Apply task lighting as to your needs.
Use the minimum force necessary to strike the keyboard/ten-key keys.
Use the minimum force necessary to activate the hole punch and stapler.
Vary your tasks to avoid a long period of one activity.
Take mini-breaks to rest the eyes and muscles. A break does not have to
be a stop of work duties. However, it should be a different style of physical
activity such as changing from keyboarding to using the telephone or filing.
Neutralize distracting noise by using earplugs, playing soft music, or
turning on a fan.
Maintain a comfortable workplace temperature by using layers of clothing
or a fan.
Preventing Back Injuries
Most back injuries in administrative areas are due to the movement of office
supplies and furniture. Moving boxes of copier paper have been a very consistent
source of injuries. Follow these guidelines to prevent back injuries:
Avoid lifting items off the ground. Store items that need to be moved at a
height of 30 inches. Safe lifting limits are very low when lifting items off the
ground.
Avoid over the shoulder lifting. Safe lifting limits are very low when lifting
overhead.
When moving boxes of paper use a lift table. If your office uses a lot of
paper an adjustable lift table is needed. If you do not have a lift table, use
two man lifts. Whenever possible do not move the box, rather move reams of
paper which weigh much less.
When moving office furniture coordinate the move with safety who can give
you input on lifting limits and how best to protect employees.
Always share the load. As a general rule safe lifting limits vary from 0-51
pounds. The most common limits are around 20-30 pounds. Share the load.

Falls in Work Area
Falls are the most common office accident, accounting for the greatest number of
disabling injuries. The disabling injury rate of falls among office workers is 2 to 2.5 times
higher than the rate for non-office employees. A fall occurs when you lose your balance
and footing. One of the most common causes of office falls is tripping over an open desk
or file drawer. Bending while seated in an unstable chair and tripping over electrical
cords or wires are other common hazards. Office falls are frequently caused by using a
chair or stack of boxes in place of a ladder and by slipping on wet floors. Loose
carpeting, objects stored in halls or walkways, and inadequate lighting are other hazards
that invite accidental falls. Fortunately, all of these fall hazards are preventable. A good
housekeeping program will reduce or eliminate many fall hazards. The following
checklist can help stop a fall before it happens.
Be sure the pathway is clear before you walk.
Close drawers completely after every use.
Avoid excessive bending, twisting, and leaning backward while seated.
Secure electrical cords and wires away from walkways.
Always use a stepladder for overhead reaching. Chairs should never be used
as ladders.
Clean up spills immediately.
Pick up objects co-workers may have left on the floor.
Report loose carpeting or damaged flooring.
Never carry anything that obscures your vision.
Wear stable shoes with non-slip soles.
Watch for slick floors due to cleaning, snow, rain.
If you find yourself heading for a fall, remember - roll, don’t reach. By letting your body
crumple and roll, you are more likely to absorb the impact and momentum of a fall
without injury. Reaching an arm or leg out to break your fall may result in a broken limb
instead.
Slip and Falls Getting To Work
Snow and ice in parking lot and sidewalks
Water puddles in low areas of parking lot
Uneven walking surfaces
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
Allow extra time to get to work.
Wear appropriate shoes for the weather.
13. Version 12-08 13
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Take short shuffle steps so you keep you center of balance.
Report deficiencies to supervisor or safety so they can be corrected.
Snow Removal
Slipping Hazards: Ice and snow removal requires, by its very nature that you be out
with the potential hazard while you eliminate it. The formation of ice and snow along
walkways, curbs, and by the building creates a hazardous condition. Care should be
given to proper footing while performing these duties, as well as an awareness of the
situation.
Lifting Hazards: Snow, especially when its “wet” (around the freezing mark) can be
particularly heavy. Care should be used when lifting the snow during the removal
process. Where possible, the use of other snow removal methods (snow blowers,
snow blades, etc.) should be used. When removing snow manually (via shovel), take
breaks as often as necessary to avoid exhaustion and overexertion.
Cold (Exposure) Hazards: Proper clothing (coats, hats, gloves, etc.) should be
used. Exposed skin can become frostbitten quickly during periods of extreme cold.
Take breaks as need to warm up.
Lighting
Poor office lighting can cause eyestrain and irritation, fatigue, double vision,
watering and reddening of the eyelids, and a decrease in the power of focus and
visual acuity.
Headaches as well as neck and back pains may occur as a result of workers
straining to see small or detailed items.
Direct and reflected glare and shadows as well as delayed eye adaptation when
moving from bright surroundings into dark ones (or vice versa) may prevent an
employee from seeing tripping and other similar hazards.
Lighting is one of the most important factors affecting personal comfort on the job.
The best lighting system is one in which the light level is geared to the task, where
brightness ratios are controlled (no intensely bright or dark areas in one field of
vision) and where ceilings, walls, and floors are carefully chosen to minimize
glare. Glare is defined as a harsh, uncomfortable bright light that shines directly in
the eyes. Glare may be either direct, coming from lights or sunshine, or indirect,
coming from a reflected surface.
Different tasks require different levels of lighting. Areas, in which intricate work is
performed, for example, require greater illumination than warehouses. Lighting
needs vary from time to time and person to person as well. One approach is to
use adjustable task lighting that can provide needed illumination without
increasing general lighting.
14. Version 12-08 14
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
There are a number of measures that can be used to prevent and control poor
lighting conditions in the work environment:
Regular maintenance of the lighting system should be carried out to clean
or replace old bulbs and faulty lamp circuits.
A light-colored matte finish on walls, ceilings, and floors to reduce glare is
recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society.
Whenever possible, office workers should not face windows, unshielded
lamps, or other sources of glare.
Adjustable shades should be used if workers face a window.
Diffuse light will help reduce shadows. Indirect lighting and task lighting are
recommended, especially when workspaces are separated by dividers.
Task lamps are very effective in supplementing general office lighting for
those who require or prefer additional lighting. Some task lamps permit
several light levels.
Noise
Noise can produce tension and stress as well as damage to hearing at high noise
levels. Noise can be defined very simply as unwanted sound. Office workers are
subjected to many noise sources including video display terminals, high-speed
printers, telephones, fax machines, and human voices. Noise can produce tension
and stress as well as damage to hearing at high noise levels. For noise levels in
offices, the most common effects are interference with speech communication,
annoyance, and distraction from mental activities. The annoying effect of noise
can decrease performance or increase errors in some task situations. If the tasks
require a great deal of mental concentration, noise can be detrimental to
performance.
Government standards have set limits for exposure to noise to prevent hearing
loss in employees. The level of noise one can safely be exposed to is dependent
on the intensity of the noise as well as the duration of exposure. In an office
setting OSHA noise standards are rarely approached or exceeded. However,
problems could arise in areas with a high concentration of noisy machines, such
as high-speed printers or copy machines.
When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding OSHA standards,
feasible administrative or engineering controls must be utilized. If such controls
fail to reduce sound levels, personal protective equipment must be provided and
used to reduce sound levels.
For many of the annoying sounds in the office environment, the following
measures are useful for reducing the level of noise or its effects:
15. Version 12-08 15
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
Select the quietest equipment if possible. When there is a choice between
two or more products, sound levels should be included as a consideration
for purchase and use.
Provide for proper maintenance of equipment, such as lubrication and
tightening of loose parts that can cause noise.
Locate loud equipment in areas where its effects are less detrimental. For
example, place impact printers away from areas where people must use
the phone.
Use barrier walls or dividers to isolate noise sources. Use of buffers or
acoustically treated materials can absorb noise that might otherwise travel
further. Rubber pads to insulate vibrating equipment can also help to
reduce noise.
Enclose equipment, such as printers, with acoustical covers or housings.
Schedule noisy tasks at times when it will have less of an effect on the
other tasks in the office.
Office Electrical Hazards
UngroundedEquipment
Grounding is a method of protecting employees from electric shock. By grounding an
electrical system, a low-resistance path to earth through a ground connection is
intentionally created. When properly done, this path offers sufficiently low resistance
and has sufficient current-carrying capacity to prevent the build-up of hazardous
voltages. Most fixed equipment such as large, stationary machines must be
grounded. Cord and plug connected equipment must be grounded if it is located in
hazardous or wet locations, if operated at more than 150 volts to ground, or if it is of a
certain type of equipment (such as refrigerators and air conditioners). Smaller office
equipment, such as typewriters and coffee pots, would generally not fall into these
categories and therefore would not have to be grounded. However much of the
newer office equipment is manufactured with grounded plugs as a precaution (three
prong plugs). In such cases, the equipment should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. In any case, never remove the third (grounding) prong
from any three-prong piece of equipment.
Equipment is not properly grounded; often you may find the ground prong removed
from the cord.
OverloadedOutlets
Office outlets have too much current demand on them, which could result in fire.
Insufficient or overloading of electrical outlets should be avoided. A sufficient number
of outlets will eliminate the need for extension cords. Overloading electrical circuits
16. Version 12-08 16
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
and extension cords can result in a fire. Floor mounted outlets should be carefully
placed to prevent tripping hazards. Current demands for copiers, printers and
computer accessories can easily exceed a circuit’s limitation when more than one
system is on a circuit
To avoid many of these injuries, do the following:
Ensure current demands do not exceed circuit capacity. Most circuits are either a 15
or 20 amp circuit. Add up the current demands (look at the name tag ratings of each
piece of equipment to get the current demands for that piece of equipment) of each
piece of equipment in your office. They should not exceed circuit capacity.
Unsafe/Non-Approved Equipment
The use of poorly maintained or unsafe, poor quality, non-approved (by national
testing laboratory) coffee makers, radios, lamps, etc. (often provided by or used
by employees) should be discarded. Such appliances can develop electrical
shorts creating fire and/or shock hazards. Equipment and cords should be
inspected regularly, and a qualified individual should make repairs.
Defective, Frayed or Improperly Installed Cords for Electrically-
Operated Office Equipment
When the outer jacket of a cord is damaged, the cord may no longer be water-
resistant. The insulation can absorb moisture, which may then result in a short
circuit or excessive current leakage to ground. If wires are exposed, they may
cause a shock to a worker who contacts them. These cords should be replaced.
Electric cords should be examined on a routine basis for fraying and exposed
wiring.
ImproperPlacementof Cords
A cord should not be pulled or dragged over nails, hooks, or other sharp objects
that may cause cuts in the insulation. In addition, cords should never be placed on
radiators, steam pipes, walls, and windows. Particular attention should be placed
on connections behind furniture, since files and bookcases may be pushed tightly
against electric outlets, severely bending the cord at the plug.
17. Version 12-08 17
This is an "Uncontrolled Document" for reference purposes only.
ElectricalCords acrossWalkways and Work Areas
An adequate number of outlet sockets should be provided. Extension cords
should only be used in situations where fixed wiring is not feasible. However, if it
is necessary to use an extension cord, never run it across walkways or aisles due
to the potential tripping hazard. If you must run a cord across a walkway, either
tape it down or purchase a cord runner.
Live Parts Unguarded
Wall receptacles should be designed and installed so that no current-carrying
parts will be exposed, and outlet plates should be kept tight to eliminate the
possibility of shock.
Pulling of Plugs to Shut Off Power
Switches to turn on and off equipment should be provided, either in the equipment
or in the cords, so that it is not necessary to pull the plugs to shut off the power.
To remove a plug from an outlet, take a firm grip on and pull the plug itself. Never
pull a plug out by the cord.
Working on "Live Equipment
Disconnect electrical machines before cleaning, adjusting, or applying flammable
solutions. If a guard is removed to clean or repair parts, replace it before testing
the equipment and returning the machine to service.
Blocking ElectricalPanelDoors
If an electrical malfunction should occur, the panel door, and anything else in front
of the door will become very hot. Electrical panel doors should always be kept
closed, to prevent "electrical flashover" in the event of an electrical malfunction.
Speaking of electrical panels, never remove a lock or a tag on a circuit breaker. It
was placed there for a reason and the only person who is allowed to remove it is
the person who placed it there.
Hazardous Material
One of the potential hazardous chemicals you may encounter that require special
handling is toner. Read all the manufacturer’s precautions and follow the
handling and disposing instructions included in the package. Some chemicals,
such as rubber cement, require special handling during mobilization. If you have
questions about any chemical you are using or going to use, call your

Industrial Hygiene Assessment
Introduction:
The Industrial Hygienist (IH) conducts industrial hygiene assessments when
requested to do so. The industrial hygiene assessment is conducted to evaluate
and quantify potential health hazards to which workers may be exposed. During
the survey, IH may conduct tests for air sampling, noise dissymmetry, lighting
surveys, and ergonomic risk assessments.
Supervisor Requirement:
Supervisors must brief affected personnel on the contents of the industrial
hygiene assessment report and ensure that workers understand its findings and
recommendations. A copy of the assessment will be posted in a conspicuous
place for a period of 10 days after receipt to allow workers unrestricted access.
Supervisors will maintain the current and previous industrial hygiene assessment
in the workplace.
Steps to compliance:
1. Review existing surveys and determine accuracy of information
2. When assessments are conducted interact/assist the hygienist
3. Brief the industrial hygiene assessment as part of the employee job

Risk Management
Introduction:
Most administrative areas do not require Risk Assessments. However there may
be processes that have embedded hazards and new equipment/tasks or
processes introduced to the workplace that is not governed by regulation or other
definitive guidance. These tasks and equipment will require a Risk Assessment.
Supervisor Requirement:
Complete an RA as identified in the workplace hazard analysis and for new
equipment and processes not covered by adequate guidance.
Steps to compliance:
1. Break the job down into task steps in order of occurrence as performed by a
worker. Use BLM Form 1112-5 Risk Management Worksheet to document
your assessment.
2. Evaluate each step to identify ALL hazards including those produced by the
environment and those connected with the job procedure. These
hazards/unsafe acts or conditions are listed in column 8.

Training Plans
Introduction:
The training plan is a document proving that you, the supervisor, have provided
mandatory and applicable safety and health training to workers. Inadequate or
inaccurate documentation or failure to provide training can be used to prove
negligence or violation of requirements on the part of the employer.
Supervisor Requirement:
You the supervisor must develop and maintain a training plan for each of your
employees. There is no definitive way to document this plan per BLM guidelines.
However, DOI Learn has a tool that allows a supervisor to develop a learning plan
for their employees. Supervisors can select courses that the employee is required
to take, and can input additional training the employee has received outside of the
DOI program. You may need additional training in order to gain access to the DOI
Learn account.
Many supervisors maintain a simple spreadsheet in order to document the training
that the employee has received and when additional training is due. Do not
include privacy information on this form.
Steps to compliance:
1. Complete the workplace hazard analysis and required risk assessments
to identify all required training.
2. Develop the employee’s safety training outline.
3. Complete a training plan for each assigned employee.
4. Brief employees on hazards and document training.
5. Inform employees of other training requirements.
Documentationyou are required to produce(Keep in this tab):
A training plan for each employee, tailored to the workplace, with a training outline
which addresses all hazards, with signature verification of training where required.

Hazard Reporting
Reference: BLM Manual Handbook1112-2,Safety and Health for Field
Operations, chapter 24.4
Introduction:
All workers have the responsibility and the right to report hazards. Anyone who
discovers a hazard can verbally report it to the supervisor or submit a BLM Form
1112-4, Employee Report of Unsafe or Unhealthful Working Condition, to the State
Safety Office. Hazard reports must be readily available to all workers.
Supervisor Requirement:
Supervisors must not ignore reported hazards. Supervisors have a responsibility
to correct hazards or to elevate them to the appropriate authorities. Hazards
should be abated at the lowest working level possible. If a hazard can be
eliminated on the spot, no further action is required. If a hazard cannot be
immediately corrected, interim control measures must be applied. If a hazard
presents imminent danger, the supervisor must take immediate action to eliminate
or reduce the hazard or cease operations and withdraw exposed personnel until
appropriate controls are implemented.
Steps to compliance:
1. Supervisor reports hazards not corrected on the spot to safety, fire, and
health managers who will evaluate reported hazards to determine validity,
interim controls, and corrective actions.
2. Validated hazards are assigned a Risk Assessment Code (RAC) based on
mishap probability and severity.
3. Supervisors will ensure interim control measures are implemented, effective,
and that employees understand them.
Documentationyou are required to produce(Keep in this tab):
Copies of BLM Form 1112-4, employee reports of unsafe and unhealthful
working conditions.
Workplace hazards would be communicated to employees in a safety
briefing and documented on Supervisor Safety Meeting Minutes, TAB I.
