Study Notes
Types of Guards
- Interlocked guards prevent operation when open.
- Fixed guards are permanent barriers that do not move.
- Self-adjusting guards adjust to the size of the workpiece.
- Adjustable guards can be moved or altered to accommodate varying tasks.
Main Areas of a Machine
- The point of operation is where the work occurs.
- The power transmission device transfers energy to the machine.
- The operating controls are used to manage the machine's functions.
OSHA Rights Violation
- Tina experienced retaliation for reporting a safety hazard, violating her right to be free from retaliation under OSHA regulations.
Power Line Safety
- Touching power lines, whether covered or bare, poses a significant risk, often resulting in death.
Electrocution Hazard Minimization
- Employers are required to construct and install safety equipment including lighting, appliances, switches, and machinery controls to minimize electrocution risks.
Physical Hazards
- Types of physical hazards include noise, temperature extremes, radiation, and vibration, which can affect workers' health and safety.
Chemical Hazards
- Chemical hazards are not always visible, which necessitates awareness and caution in handling.
Fall Hazard Reduction
- In addition to keeping floors clean and dry, using non-slip materials can significantly reduce fall hazards.
Workplace Violence Preparedness
- Employees should be prepared to manage and endure situations involving workplace violence effectively.
Break Frequency While Driving
- It is recommended to take breaks every two hours during long-distance driving to maintain focus and reduce fatigue.
Forklift Operation Age Requirement
- A minimum age of 18 is required to operate a forklift safely.
Crane Load Capacity
- The load capacity of a crane can be determined by consulting the load capacity chart located in the crane's cab.
Fire Safety Awareness
- Understanding fire risks and hazards is essential to prevent accidents and promote safety in the workplace.
Exit Route Requirements
- Exit routes must lead to an outside area, accommodate all personnel during emergencies, be clearly marked, sufficiently large, and must remain unlocked.
PPE Training Responsibility
- Employers are responsible for training workers on the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensuring its proper fit.
Good Posture
- Good posture minimizes stress on muscles and joints, promoting better overall physical health.
Injury-Causing Actions
- Besides lifting heavy loads, injuries can arise from awkward lifting positions and the repetitive handling of moderate to heavy loads.
Chemical Safety Requirements
- Chemical manufacturers must provide users with labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals, ensuring safe handling.
Chemical Training Responsibility
- Employers are responsible for training employees on the chemicals they use or come in contact with at work.
Respirator Use Requirement
- Proper training is mandatory before using any respirator to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Slips and Trips Consequences
- Common outcomes of slips and trips include fractured and broken bones, highlighting the importance of maintaining safe walking surfaces.
