Companies must also comply with all applicable OSHA and other government regulations. A written safety program should address management commitment, responsibilities, hazard identification/control, training, record keeping, medical assistance, and site-specific safety issues.
The document discusses safety and health in construction. It aims to prevent accidents, ensure project success, and save workers' lives. It applies to construction activities and offshore oil rig construction. Various basic construction safety terms are defined. Competent authorities, employers, workers, clients, and engineers have general safety duties and must cooperate. Precautions must be taken against falls, fires, and unsafe lighting or equipment. Special attention is needed for lifting appliances, transport, machinery, work at heights, excavation, and other hazardous construction tasks. Health hazards must be prevented and occupational health services provided, including first aid and protective equipment. Workers' welfare, including facilities for food, sanitation, shelter and accommodation, must also be ensured. Safety
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight causes premature aging of the skin and increases risk of skin cancer. The amount of damage depends on strength, length of exposure, and skin protection. Skin cancers often appear as changing spots on the skin. To protect skin, cover up with clothing, use sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater, wear a hat, sunglasses, and limit time in the sun between 10am and 4pm. See a doctor immediately if any unusual skin changes appear.
This document outlines the requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workplace. It states that employees are responsible for wearing and maintaining appropriate PPE whenever there are process, environmental, chemical, radiological, or mechanical hazards present. The PPE rules prohibit the wearing of jewelry that could come into contact with machinery or electric circuits. Feedback on PPE can be provided to the specified email address.
The document outlines OSHA's record keeping and reporting requirements for employers, including recording work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses using OSHA Form 300. It states that injuries or illnesses must be recorded if they result in death, days away from work, job transfer or restriction, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or diagnosis of a significant injury or illness. Employers must involve employees in the record keeping system and calculate total recordable case rates using OSHA Form 300-A and 301. Feedback can be provided to yawarhkhan@hotmail.com.
The document discusses hazards associated with lead and silica exposure on construction sites. Lead is commonly found in construction materials like paint, alloyed metals, mortars, and can be exposed during activities like grinding, cutting or welding. Exposure to lead can occur through inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption and can cause health effects like lead poisoning. The document outlines steps employers should take to assess lead exposure risks and comply with OSHA requirements. Silica exposure is also common in construction and can cause silicosis, a serious lung disease, particularly during tasks like cutting concrete or sandblasting. The document recommends ways to control silica dust like substituting less hazardous materials, using water controls and proper ventilation.
Ladders and stairways are a major cause of injuries for construction workers, with OSHA estimating 24,882 injuries and 36 deaths per year due to falls. Proper ladder safety is important to prevent accidents - ladders should be visually inspected for defects before each use, the right ladder should be chosen for the task, and ladders should not be overloaded beyond their weight rating. Damaged ladders should be marked as unsafe and destroyed.
This document discusses occupational safety and health training. It explains that safety education can come from personal experience, formal classroom training, and on-the-job training. Effective safety education must explain why safe procedures are important. There are natural consequences from unsafe actions and system consequences imposed by others. Most common training is "how to" technical safety instruction using lectures. Training programs aim to develop professionals and evaluate delivery and management. Elements of accepted training practices, roles of safety trainers, and guidelines for evaluating programs are outlined.
This document discusses key aspects of a fire prevention plan, including reducing workplace fire risks, components of fixed fire extinguishing systems, the purpose of alarm systems, fire triangle conditions, fire extinguisher ratings and types, how to use an extinguisher, and management's training responsibilities. Managers should be trained on the fire prevention plan and ensure employees understand their roles in reducing fire risks and properly using alarms and extinguishers.
This document discusses various skills needed for effective supervision and administration. It covers topics such as administration skills, effective communication, understanding behavior, leadership, decision making, time management, and stress management. Key points include defining who supervisors are and their roles and responsibilities, discussing different supervisory jobs and functions, explaining important communication and leadership styles, and providing tips for managing time and stress.
The document outlines a health and safety policy statement for an organization. It states a commitment to protecting worker health and safety, complying with legislation, and ensuring workers understand their responsibilities. It also describes management's interest in employee safety and an objective to provide a safe work environment through training, accountability, and considering safety in all activities.
The document provides safety guidelines for operating forklifts, including training and certifying all operators, prohibiting employees under 18 from operating forklifts, properly maintaining equipment, examining forklifts for defects before use, following safe operating procedures, prohibiting stunt driving or handling loads heavier than capacity, and ensuring rollover protective structures and reverse alarms are in place.
First aid is emergency medical care for injured or ill persons using available materials. The objectives of first aid are to preserve life, prevent worsening of injuries or illnesses, and promote recovery. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act and Regulation 1101 specify employer obligations for first aid equipment, facilities, trained personnel, and procedures. Requirements include well-stocked first aid kits, facilities like stations or rooms, and personnel trained to minimum standards like Standard or Emergency First Aid levels set by St. John Ambulance. Employers must also have documented first aid procedures.
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in construction, often due to unstable work surfaces, improper use of fall protection equipment, and human error. Studies show guardrails, fall arrest systems, safety nets, covers, and restraint systems can prevent many deaths and injuries from falls by providing safer elevated work surfaces, protecting workers near floor and roof edges, covering floor holes, and using safety nets or harnesses.
