The document discusses safety committees, which were recommended in 1931 to encourage safe work practices. Safety committees are comprised of management and worker representatives tasked with creating and maintaining a safe work environment. Their objectives include providing a discussion platform on safety, promoting safety consciousness, and facilitating communication between workers and management. Committees can be centralized, corporate-level, departmental, or special purpose depending on a company's structure. Effective committees regularly meet with agendas, document meetings, and work to resolve issues, while ineffective ones are disorganized and fail to implement recommendations.
This document discusses lockout/tagout procedures for working on hazardous equipment. It covers who needs training in lockout/tagout, what hazardous energy is, the different types of lockout devices, tag requirements, and required lockout procedures. The procedures involve notifying affected employees, shutting down and isolating equipment, attaching lockout devices, releasing stored energy, and verifying isolation before starting maintenance. Examples of lockout devices include locks for electrical panels and plugs, blanks for pipes, and blocks for presses. Tags are only for information and don't provide the protection of lockout devices.
This document contains a checklist for inspecting an E.O.T. crane. The checklist is divided into 18 parameters to observe, including the cabin, long travel platform, limits, neutral interlock system, emergency door switch, crane trolley, crane landing platform, bus bar protection, lighting, collectors, walkways, railings, tracks, hooks, pulleys, and ropes. For each parameter, inspectors are to check various components and record any observations or remarks.
This document discusses the costs of workplace accidents. It notes that accidents result in direct costs like medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation, as well as indirect costs that are 5 times the direct costs, such as decreased productivity. Accidents cost more than their direct expenses alone due to ripple effects. The document advocates calculating total accident costs using a standard method to understand their full financial impact and take steps to reduce costs by preventing accidents.
This risk assessment record summarizes the potential hazards and control measures for dismantling a scaffold. It identifies 5 work activities: 1) isolating electrical power, 2) removing electrical installations, 3) starting dismantling from the top, 4) stacking materials at ground level, and 5) shifting scaffolding materials.
