supervisors and managers Hazard communication, including worker
awareness of potential chemical hazards,
proper handling and container labeling Proper storage and
handling of toxic and hazardous substances
Hazard Assessment
Periodic inspections provide a method of identifying existing or
potential hazards in the workplace by eliminating or controlling
them. Hazard control is the heart of an effective Injury and
Illness Prevention Program.
If hazards occur or recur, this reflects a breakdown in the
hazard control system. The hazard control system is then, the basis
for developing safe work procedures and injury illness prevention
training.
An effective hazard control system will identify: hazards that
exist or develop in your workplace, how to correct those hazards,
and steps you can take to prevent their recurrence. Hazard
assessments shall occur under the following conditions:
Periodic facility/workplace inspections When the IIPP is
established When a new substances, processes, procedures or
equipment is introduced into
the workplace and presents a potential hazard
6
-
When an unidentified hazard is recognized When occupational
injuries and illnesses occur When employees are hired and/or
reassign to permanent/intermittent work
operations or tasks which a hazard evaluation has not been
conducted Whenever workplace conditions warrant an inspection
Accident Investigations
The primary focus of an accident investigation is to identify
and understand why the accident or near miss occurred and what
actions can be taken to prevent recurrence.
Procedures for investigating workplace accidents include:
Visiting the accident scene as soon as possible Interviewing
injured workers and witnesses Examining the workplace for factors
associated with the accident/near miss Determining the root cause
of the accident Taking corrective action to prevent the
accident/near miss from reoccurring Recording the findings and
corrective actions taken
Managers and Supervisors are to determine the following:
What happened (including when)? How/why did the incident happen?
What should be done? What action has been taken?
Supervisors investigating accidents or injuries shall document
all information gathered during the investigation. Documentation
shall include pictures, interviews, diagrams, schematics and
drawings. Supervisors must ensure the following documents have been
completed:
City of Los Angeles, Personnel Department, Employers Report of
OccupationalInjury or Illness (Form 5020) including all Accident
Investigation Forms. (Form5020 is required for occupational injury
or illness which results in lost timebeyond the date of the
incident or requires medical treatment beyond first aid).
State of California Department of Industrial Relations Division
of WorkersCompensation, Workers Compensation Claim Form (DWC 1)
Serious injuries (defined by Cal/OSHA) are investigated by the
Safety Engineer and the Division Manager.
"Serious injury or illness" means any injury or illness
occurring in a place of employment or in connection with any
employment which requires inpatient hospitalization for a period in
excess of 24 hours for other than medical observation or in which
an employee suffers a loss of any member of the body or suffers any
serious degree of permanent disfigurement, but does not include any
injury or illness or death caused by the commission of a Penal Code
violation, except the violation of Section 385 of the Penal Code,
or an accident on a public street or highway. Section 330(h), Title
8, California Administrative Code.

Hazard Correction
Hazards that are discovered as the result of periodic
inspections or during normal operations shall be corrected
promptly. Reports of unsafe conditions by employees shall be
investigated promptly by supervisors. The Bureau recognizes that
hazards range from imminent danger to relatively low risks and
shall be managed accordingly. The supervisors corrective action
must include an evaluation of the potential hazard and a suitable
timeline for correction.
Imminent Hazards
Serious hazards present an imminent danger to life or limb and
immediate action shall be taken to mitigate the hazard. Employees
must immediately discontinue work and notify the supervisor or
manager. All employees shall be removed from the hazard(s) until
the hazard can be abated or controlled to eliminate risk to the
employee. Access to the work location(s) specific to the hazard
shall be restricted until a competent person can review, abate
and/or control the imminent hazard. Proper training, safeguards
and
8

-
personal protective equipment shall be used prior to any
corrective action implementation to an imminent hazard situation.
All corrective action shall be documented.
General Hazards
General or non-imminent hazards shall be reported to the
supervisor, manager, Administration Division or building
maintenance. Employees shall initiate correction in a timely
manner, eliminating risk to employees as best possible (i.e.
warning signs, caution tape, cones, barricades).
Training and Instruction
Effective dissemination of safety information is essential for
the success of the Bureaus IIPP. Training includes general safe
work practices as well as specific instruction on control of
hazards unique to each employees job assignment. Supervisors will
be an integral part of the training process with each employee.
Employee training and instruction at minimum must be provided:
To all employees when your program is first established To all
new employees To all employees given new job assignments for which
training has not been
previously received Whenever new substances, processes,
procedures or equipment are introduced
to the workplace and present a new hazard Whenever you or your
supervisors are made aware of a new or previously
unrecognized hazard For all supervisors to assure they are
familiar with the safety and health hazards
to which employees under their immediate direction and control
may be exposed
The Bureau uses many types of training methods to communicate
safety-related information to employees. Training may vary widely
with respect to instructional method, setting, and subject matter.
Types of training applicable to all employees include:
1. Classroom instruction, which involves the presentation of
general or specificsafety information. These classes are taught by
Bureau employees or outsidecontractors.
2. On-the-job training, in which a small number of employees
receive instructionfrom the supervisor. On-the-job training can
also include instruction on how tooperate and maintain new
equipment by manufacturer representatives.
3. Written instructions or training materials, which include
memos, safety bulletins,and policy letters.
General safety training refers to instruction which is
applicable to all Bureau employees and not related to specialized
trades or procedures. The Bureau ensures that all new employees
shall attend a new hire orientation provided by the Bureau. New
hire orientation shall include the following safety and health
subjects:
1. Basic safety training and introduction to the Bureaus IIPP,
including an overallreview of employees rights and employers
responsibilities under the CaliforniaCode of Regulations, Title
8.
9
-
2. Instruction on reporting injuries and unsafe conditions, and
employees rightsunder Workers Compensation law.
Many workplace operations require specialized training or
instruction under the California Code of Regulations, Title 8.
Before employees can be allowed to perform certain job tasks,
supervisors must ensure that employees have completed required
training courses. These specialized training courses include, but
are not limited to: Respiratory Fit Instruction, Bloodborne
Pathogen Exposure, Workplace Violence, Emergency Evacuation and
Hazard Communication.
It is the responsibility of each supervisor to ensure that
employees receive general and job specific safety training for each
employee under his/her direct control. Supervisors are required to
review employees compliance with instruction given regarding safety
rules, regulations, and policies established by the Bureaus IIPP.
The supervisor must ensure that employees comprehend the training
they are provided, ensuring that language barriers and/or literacy
difficulties are accommodated. Instruction by supervisors shall
include the following subjects:
1. Safe work procedures, personal protective equipment,
evacuation andemergency response, hazard communication and
identification, and reporting ofworkplace safety hazards.
2. Protection of employees from hazards specific to their
individual job duties.3. New substances, processes, procedures, or
equipment introduced into the
workplace that may create new hazards, when new or previously
unrecognizedhazards are brought to a supervisors attention.
The person performing safety training must ensure that
appropriate records are preserved and maintained. All safety
training records must include the subject title, name of employee,
Paysr number, the date of training and the person who administered
the training. Please use the Bureaus training roster in Appendix I.
The supervisors shall retain all documentation of employee safety
training and ensure that a copy has been sent to the Bureaus
Administration Division Training Section mailstop 311. All
documentation regarding safety training shall be kept on file at
the location where the employee reports to work.
Recordkeeping
Maintaining documentation is a crucial element in being able to
demonstrate steps to an effective safety program. Adequate
recordkeeping in accidents, work-related injuries, illnesses and
property losses enables our organization to learn from the past and
make corrections for future operations. Information gathered from
audits, investigations and inspections are vital in the steps for
improving our IIPPs effectiveness. Record keeping element will
include, but is not limited to the following:
Injury and illness records (i.e. Form 5020, Cal OSHA 300, 301,
300A) Fatalities and serious injuries Exposure Records (if
applicable) Access to employee medical records (through the Citys
Medical Services
Division) Inspections and audits Safety meetings
