Study Notes
Safety Culture and Practices
- Strong safety cultures in companies correlate with lower employee turnover rates.
- Safety is considered both a learned behavior and an attitude necessary for workplace safety.
Unsafe Conditions
- Unsafe conditions include issues like poor lighting, excessive noise, and insufficient guards on moving parts.
Job Safety Analysis
- Job safety analysis involves breaking down a job into tasks and evaluating each step for potential hazards.
Risk Assessment
- Risk encompasses the probability, consequences, and exposure factors relating to an event.
Fall Protection
- Covering holes in floors with labeled covers is the preferred method for protecting against falls.
- The D-ring on a safety harness should be positioned in the middle of the back for proper support.
Equipment Inspection and Use
- Personal fall arrest systems require monthly inspections by a competent person.
- Lanyards without shock-absorbing features are intended for positioning rather than fall arrest.
Ladder Safety
- When setting a ladder, it must extend at least 3 feet (91 cm) above its contact point with a platform or roof.
Scaffolding Safety
- Protective measures like toeboards or debris nets are necessary during overhead work on scaffolding.
Material Stacking
- Stacking materials, such as bricks or blocks, should not exceed a 4:1 height-to-base ratio.
Soil Safety Regulations
- Benching systems are prohibited in Type C soils; all soil in excavation should be treated as Type C unless specified otherwise.
Excavation Inspections
- Competent persons must conduct daily inspections of excavation sites for safety.
Electrical Safety
- The three-wire system is a common grounding system that prevents accidental electrical shocks.
- A polarized electrical receptacle is crucial for the use of double insulated tools.
Hazardous Energy Control
- Lockout/tagout systems help prevent the release of hazardous energy during machine maintenance.
- Only the person who applied a lock/tag can remove it in a lockout/tagout situation.
Personal Protective Equipment
- Hard hats should ideally be made of fiberglass or reinforced plastic to offer adequate protection.
- Hearing protection is recommended when someone must raise their voice to be heard from 2 feet away.
Asbestos and Hazard Reporting
- Workers must report potential asbestos exposure to their supervisors and should avoid disturbing such materials.
Respirators and Health Hazards
- A half mask or mouthpiece with a mechanical filter is appropriate where inhalation of dust or solid particles may occur.
- Lead, a health hazard found on some job sites, can originate from sources like paint.
- Contact with blood can transmit Hepatitis.
Heat-related Illnesses
- Heat exhaustion is characterized by slight increases in body temperature, while heat stroke represents a life-threatening condition with much higher temperatures.
Welding Safety Practices
- Welding operations near other workers require the area to be screened with shields for safety.
Fire Safety
- A Type C fire extinguisher is essential for addressing electrical fires, such as those caused by overheated electric motors.
Confined Space Entry
- An entry permit is necessary before accessing any permit-required confined spaces to ensure safety protocols are followed.
