Study Notes
Toolbox Talk
- A 10-15 minute meeting, usually conducted in the morning.
Reasons to Manage Safety
- Moral: to prevent harm and injury to people.
- Legal: to comply with laws and regulations.
- Financial: to avoid costs associated with accidents and injuries.
Noise Levels and PPE
- If the NOICE level is over 85 decibels, PPE must be worn.
- PPE is the last line of defense.
Permit to Work
- A legal document signed by the manager, safety officer, and one worker.
- Used for working inside confined spaces.
Hazard and Risk
- Hazard: anything with the potential to cause harm.
- Risk: a combination of likelihood and severity.
Controlling Risk
- The first step is to eliminate the hazard.
- Risk assessments are necessary to identify and control risks.
Confined Spaces
- Drowning, asphyxiation, and loss of consciousness are effects of working in confined spaces.
- Permit-to-work is a legal document used for working in confined spaces.
Worker Responsibilities
- Workers are responsible for their own safety at all times.
- If you don't understand work instructions, ask your supervisor for guidance.
Accident Investigation
- Conducted to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.
Risks Associated with Confined Space Working
- Drowning, asphyxiation, and loss of consciousness.
Purpose of a Toolbox Talk
- To discuss safety procedures and risks associated with the job.
Chemical Hazards
- The most common way chemicals enter the body is through inhalation.
- The four main ways substances get into the body are inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and injection.
Fire Safety
- Fire needs oxygen to burn.
- To make fire, we need oxygen, fuel, and heat (ignition source).
Working at Height
- Working at height requires PPE.
HAVS and RSI
- HAVS is caused by sustained use of handheld tools.
- RSI is a repetitive strain injury.
ERICPD Hierarchy
- ERICPD is a hierarchy of risk controls.
Noise Measurement
- Noise is measured in decibels, not frequency.
Permit-to-Work
- Not limited to working with electricity.
- Used for other types of work as well.
Risk Assessment
- Necessary for all industries, regardless of the number of employees.
