RESPIRATORS,

I

Respirator Safety BasicsFor those of you who use respirators, yourknowledge of the principles of respiratory pro-tection is very important. Some of the ele-ments that have a direct impact on youinclude a knowledge of selection criteria, med-ical evaluations, procedures for proper use, fittesting and maintenance.Selecting the appropriate respirator is up to

us. In some cases, users will have to be fittested. Tight-fitting respirators must fit cor-rectly to ensure that they will provide ade-quate protection. In addition, respirator userswill have to undergo medical evaluations todetermine whether they are fit to wear a res-pirator without suffering any adverse healtheffects. Finally, training on the procedures forproper use and maintenance will help wearersuse and take care of their respirators safely.On most sites, there's not a lot of dangerof inhaling a harmful gas or fume, but wewill run into situations where respiratorsare necessary.

(Discuss situations where respirators maybe required. Also discuss the reasons why res-pirators are necessary in those areas, includ-ing the types of hazards they are protectingemployees against.)A Look At Various Types Of RespiratorsToday I'd like to give you a generaloverview of the different kinds of respiratorsthat are available. Each type is designed toprotect against a specific kind of substance.It is important for us to select the right one.You can help us by familiarizing yourselfwith the various types of respirators.Air-purifying or fJJ.teringrespirators are thefirst category. These respirators are designedfor areas that have enough oxygen but alsohave dangerous levels of air contaminants.These contaminants are removed as they passthrough the respirator's canister or cartridge.Air-purifying respirators can be divided intotwo types. Some fJJ.terout dusts, fibers, fumesand mists, and others remove a specific con-taminant by absorbing it or by chemical reac-tion. This category includes gas masks.In addition to air-purifying respirators, thereare also air-supplying respirators. This type of

respirator provides air from a tank or com-pressor through a hose and is used in areasthat don't have enough oxygen. There are twotypes of air supplying respirators.The first is a self-contained breathing appa-ratus or SCBA.This kind of respirator allowsthe u~er to move around because the oxygentank is portable. However, the amount of airin the tank is limited.The alternative is a full-face mask that isattached by a hose to a large tank of com-pressed air. This kind of respirator basicallyeliminates air-supply concerns, but the hosescan be cumbersome.After you've selected and used a respirator,

you need to make sure you clean and main-tain it properly.

(Discuss whether you have instituted anemployee-responsibility program for respi-rator inspection or whether supervisors per-form this function.)Guidelines For Inspecting Your RespiratorYou also need to inspect your respiratorbefore using it. Inspections should be donewith certain guidelines in mind.First, all respirators should be inspected:./ Before each use./ After each use./ After cleaning.

Emergency use respirators should beinspected:

./ Before and after each use

./ Monthly if not used regularly.Some things to look for include:./ Holes, cracks or other damage./ Signs of wear on the headband, the face-piece seal, valves, tubes, canisters, etc.

./ Loose connections

./ Air cylinders that are not fully charged

./ Damage to fJJ.ters,canisters or cartridges.Respirators will only protect you if you fol-low all safety procedures. Make sure you havethe right respirator for the job and that youhave been properly fitted and trained.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

DEMOLITIONSAFETY

How We Can All Plan For ASafe Demolition JobWhether it's a matter of breaking concretefor streets and highways, wrecking buildingsor dismantling steel tanks, demolition work isin a class by itself. There are plenty of haz-ards and safety procedures specific to thiskind of work and failing to pay attention tothem puts lives at risk.Before undertaking any demolitionjob, thereare a number of steps we take to safeguardyour health and safety at the job site. In fact,as far as we're concerned, planning is just asimportant as actually doing the work.Step One: The Engineering SurveyTobegin with, OSHArequires that an engi-neering survey be conducted by a competentperson. The purpose of this survey is to checkthe condition of the framing, floors and wallsso we can take measures to prevent anythingfrom collapsing unexpectedly. The survey alsogives us a chance to evaluate the job in itsentirety. Weplan the follOwing:• Howwe are going to wreck the structure• What kinds of equipment we'll need• Our manpower requirements• Howwe're going to protect the public.In reality, many of the safety proceduresrelated to demolitionwork are things that wedo before a job begins. However, there areplenty of safety issues we all need to keep inmind during the entire process. Let's review afew of the basics:1. If you are required to use personal pro-tective equipment, such as respirators,lifelines, warning signs, safety nets, spe-cial face and eye protection, hearing pro-tection, etc., use it.

2. During some demolitionjObswe need tomaintain utilities. When we do, the linesare temporarily relocated or protected.Wealso locate all overhead powersources. Youneed to know the location ofany existing or relocated utility service.

3. Knowwhat to do in the event that aworker is injured. Make sure you knowwhere the first-aid kit is kept.

4. Know your role in our fire plan, includ-ing evacuation procedures.

5. If you are using equipment that is pow-ered by an internal combustion engine,set it up so that the exhaust dischargesaway from combustible materials andco-workers.

6. Use only approved containers andportable tanks to store and handle flam-mable and combustible liquids.

7. Set up heating devices so that theywon't overturn and install them inaccordance with their listing.

8. Do not smoke in the vicinity of haz-ardous operations or materials.

9. If you are working near explosives, donot carry matches, lighters or othersources of sparks or flame.

10. When hand demolition work is requiredon something like a chimney, you mustwork from a platform and wear a hardhat, long-sleeved shirt, eye and faceprotection, respirator and safety belt, asrequired.

11. Do not allow debris to accumulate inthe immediate work area. Dispose of itaccording to appropriate procedures .

12. If you come into contact with a confinedspace during a demolition jOb,do notenter it unless you have been properlytrained and appropriate precautionshave been taken.

13. Never leave a vehicle that is being usedto transport explosives unattended.

14. Follow proper disposal procedures forexplosives, blasting agents and blastingsupplies.

15. If you are uncertain about any safetyor health issue, ask before proceeding.

Another point I would like to mention con-cerns radio frequency (RF) signals fromtwo-way radios. Electrical detonators can beinadvertently triggered by stray RF signals.Therefore, RF signal sources are restrictedon or near the demolition site when we areusing these detonators.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Handling Hazardollls Waste IsUp To All Of Us

Properly storing and disposing of materialsand hazardous waste from a construction sitegoes a long way toward preventing pollution.It also helps to keep all of us safe andhealthy. However,managing hazardous wasterequires knowledge and diligence on our part.A Loolt At Some Different Kinds OfHazardous Waste

Some typical hazardous waste that can befound on a construction site includes:o Spills or leaks of construction materials

such as concrete curing compounds, ,asphalt products, paints, etc.

€) Petroleum products from equipmentoperation and maintenance

e Septic wastese Pesticides and herbicidesG Any material OSHAdeems

hazardous waste.Managing this waste requires that:(1) All employees be properly trained in

managing hazardous waste.o Construction materials that are poten-

tially hazardous be stored under water-tight conditions, while still making themreadily available for use.

e Hazardous waste collected from the proj-ect must be stored and disposed of in away that is appropriate for that particu-lar type of waste.

o We need to be prepared to respond tospills or leaks that occur anywhere onthe project site.

This is a lot to think about. But not payingattention to hazardous waste can cause someserious problems. Let's talk about somethings all of us can do to prevent hazardouswaste accidents.How To Prevent Hazardous Waste Accidents1. We need to make sure that hazardous

waste is stored in sealed containers that areconstructed of suitable material with labelsthat clearly identify the contents and theaccumulation date. Then we need to store

waste containers in areas that are coveredand secured during non-working hours.2. If a leak or spill occurs, we need to clean

it up immediately - before the next rainfall.It is. important to maintain spill cleanup kitson-~:te at storage locations. This helps tofaCIlItateand expedite cleanup. If a spillinvolving hazardous waste or materialsoccurs, any affected soil or water should alsobe stored as hazardous waste and disposedof properly.3. Any drums and containers that are used

during a cleanup operation must meetDepartment of Transportation, OSHA andEnvironmental Protection Agency regulationsfor the wastes they contain. When it is practi-cal, OSHAalso requires us to inspect drumsand containers and ensure their integrity"?eforethey are moved. If they can't beInspected before being moved, they must bem<:>vedto an accessible location and inspectedprIOr to further handling.4. We must always assume that any unla-

beled drums and containers contain haz-ardous substances and then handle themaccordingly until the contents are positivelyidentified and labeled.5. Before moving drums or containers

every individual who may be exposed td thetransfer operation should be warned of thepotential hazards associated with the con-tents of the containers.6. Drums and containers that cannot be

moved without rupturing, leaking or spillinghave to be emptied into a sound containerusing a device that is classified for the mate-rial that is being transferred.Be Diligent

Hazardous waste is called "hazardous" fora reason. Failing to store, handle and disposeof it properly can affect not only our healthand safety, but the health and safety of thecommunity and the environment. It is a seri-ous responsibility and one that we all share.

If you have any questions about the haz-ardous waste that we deal with, let us know.In the meantime, do your part by being dili-gent about hazardous waste safety.

Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Lead Exposure In TheConstruction IndustryExposure to lead is a serious hazard on

many construction sites, including ours. Forinstance, if we are demolishing or salvaginga building, we can be exposed to lead if anyof the materials removed from the buildingcontain lead. When we transport or disposeof those materials, we can be exposed to thelead they contain. When we are involved innew construction, exposure can occur if weuse materials that contain lead or we per-form certain plumbing or welding activities.And, we're not the only ones who are at

risk. If we bring lead home from work onour clothes or hands, we can contaminateour homes and cars. Family members, espe-cially children, can develop lead-related ill-ness from this kind of exposure.I want to take a few minutes to talk about

the potential adverse health effects of leadexposure. When absorbed into your body incertain doses, lead is a toxic substance. Theobject of OSHA'sLead Standard is to preventabsorption of harmful quantities of lead. Thestandard is intended to protect you not onlyfrom the immediate toxic effects of lead, butalso from the serious toxic effects that maynot become apparent until years of exposurehave passed.How Lead Enters The BodyLead (except for certain organic lead com-

pounds not covered by the standard, suchas tetraethyl lead) is not absorbed throughyour skin. However, when lead is scatteredin the air as a dust, fume or mist, it can beinhaled and absorbed through your lungsand upper respiratory tract. Inhalation ofairborne lead is generally the most commonsource of occupational lead absorption.You can also absorb lead through your

digestive system if lead gets into yourmouth and is swallowed. Handling food, ciga-rettes, chewing tobacco or makeup that hasbeen contaminated with lead, or handlingthem when your hands are contaminatedwith lead, could contribute to ingestion.A significant portion of the lead that you

inhale or ingest gets into your blood stream.Once it is in your blood stream, lead is cir-culated throughout your body and storedin various organs and tissues. Some of thislead is quickly filtered out of your body andexcreted, but some remains in the blood andother tissues. As exposure to lead continues,the amount stored in your body will increaseif you are absorbing more lead than yourbody can excrete. Even though you maynot be aware of any immediate symptomsof disease, the lead stored in your tissuescan slowly cause irreversible damage, firstto individual cells, then to your organs andwhole body systems.Symptoms Of Lead PoisoningLong-term (chronic) exposure to lead can

result in severe damage to a person's blood-forming, central nervous, urinary and repro-ductive systems. Symptoms of chronic leadoverexposure can include: loss of appetite,metallic taste in the mouth, anxiety, consti-pation, nausea, pallor, weakness, insomnia,headache, nervous irritability, muscle andjoint pain, fine tremors, numbness, dizzi-ness, hyperactivity and colic.Additionally, a condition affecting the

brain called acute encephalopathy canquickly arise and may result in seizures,coma and death from cardiorespiratoryarrest. Short-term lead overexposure cancause acute encephalopathy, although short-term exposures of this magnitude, whilepossible, are highly unusual. It shouldbe noted, however, that similar forms ofencephalopathy can arise from extended,chronic exposure to lower doses of lead.Our goal is to keep all of you safe and

healthy. To that end, we have instituted pro-cedures to help ensure that no one in ourworkplace is exposed to hazardous levels oflead. For instance, the permissible exposurelimit set by OSHAis 50 micrograms of leadper cubic meter of air , averaged over aneight-hour workday. This is something wemonitor. We also take a number of steps tomonitor the levels of lead in your blood tomake sure that you are not overexposed tothis potentially dangerous substance.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

AsbestosI

Asbestos AwarenessOn The JobAsbestos is the generic term for a group

of naturally occurring, fibrous minerals withhigh tensile strength, flexibility and resis-tance to heat, chemicals and electricity.In the construction industry, asbestos is

found in installed products, such as sprayed-on fireproofing, pipe insulation, floor tiles,cement pipe and sheet, roofing felts andshingles, ceiling tiles, fire-resistant drywall,drywall joint compounds and acoustical prod-ucts. Because very few asbestos-containingproducts are being installed today, mostworker exposures occur during the removalof asbestos, and the renovation and mainte-nance of buildings and structures that con-tain asbestos.

Asbestos Exposure: PotentiallyLife ThreateningAsbestos fibers enter the body when a

person inhales or ingests airborne particles.These fibers can become embedded in thetissues of the respiratory or digestive sys-tems. Exposure to asbestos can cause dis-abling or fatal diseases, such as asbestosis,an emphysema-like condition; lung cancer;and mesothelioma, a cancerous tumor thatcan spread rapidly through the membranesthat cover the lungs and other body organs.The symptoms of these diseases generally donot appear for 15 or more years after initialexposure.

Classification System For Construction WorkThe OSHAstandard on asbestos for con-

struction classifies the hazards of asbestoswork activities and prescribes particularrequirements for each classification. Theclassifications are:• Class I: This is the most potentiallyhazardous class of asbestos jobs andinvolves the removal of asbestos-con-taining thermal system insulation andsprayed-on surfacing materials that

contain or are presumed to containasbestos.

• Class II: This includes the removal ofother types of asbestos-containing mate-rials that are not thermal system insu-lation, such as roofing materials thatcontain asbestos.

• Class III: This class focuses on repairand maintenance operations whereasbestos-containing or presumed asbes-tos-containing materials are disturbed.

• Class IV: This class pertains to custodialactivities where workers clean up asbes-tos-containing waste and debris.

Protective Equipment May Be RequiredWewill always try to limit your exposure

to asbestos through engineering controls.However, if these controls do not keep yourexposure below the permissible exposurelimit, we will provide you with respirators.Generally, the level of exposure and thenature of the work will determine the typeof respirator you will need to use. We mayalso require you to use protective clothing,such as coveralls, head coverings, glovesand foot coverings. Eye protection, includ-ing vented goggles or face shields, will beprovided whenever there is the possibility ofeye irritation due to asbestos exposure. Wewill also establish decontamination areas ifyou are exposed to asbestos above the per-missible limit.Finally, training will be provided on the

class of asbestos you are exposed to on thejob and will include an explanation of thepotential hazards, as well as the safe workpractices you can use to help limit yourexposure. We ask that you use and main-tain any protective equipment we provideand attend all training sessions. If you havequestions concerning the protective equip-ment we provide or the safe practices youshould use to limit exposure to asbestos, askyour supervisor.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Aerial Lifts

How To Stay Safe WhenUsing Aerial LiftsFor those of you who have worked from

an aerial lift, you know how helpful theycan be. Aerial lifts allow us to reach above-ground work areas, often making our jobseasier. However, if improperly used or setup, aerial lifts can be dangerous. In fact,OSHAnotes that each year, many workersare injured or killed on aerial lifts; most ofthese fatalities are caused by worker falls,objects falling off lifts, tip-overs or collapsesof lifts, and contact with overhead objects orenergized power lines.Today, I'd like to talk about some of the

things we will do to ensure your safety andthe measures you can take to help us.

Worker Training Is EssentialIf you are asked to operate an aerial

lift, you must first be trained on how tosafely use the equipment. Wewill providethis training to you. You will be trained onthe vehicle and lift components, and howto inspect these components before workbegins. You will also be trained on how toinspect the work site to ensure that the aer-ial lift is placed on stable, reasonably levelground, so that there is no potential for tip-over.In addition, operator training will include

instruction on how to operate the elevatedwork platform so that workers on the plat-form can safely perform their jobs, as wellas the kind of weather conditions, such ashigh winds, that could make operating anaerial lift dangerous.Those of you who work atop aerial lifts

will receive training on hazards involvedwith the lifts. For instance, falls are oneof the dangers associated with aerial lifts.That's why, if you work from an aerial lift,we will provide you with a body harness ora restraining belt and training on how to usethis equipment properly.

You will also be trained on safe work prac-tices that you should use when working froman aerial lift. For example, it is essentialthat you make sure access gates or openingsare closed and that you stand firmly on thefloor of the bucket or the lift platform. Underno circumstances are you allowed to climbon or lean over guardrails or handrails.

Use Extra Caution Near OverheadPower LinesOverhead power lines are a danger to any-

one operating or working from an aerial lift.Anytime our work brings us near overheadpower lines, we will contact the utility com-pany and ask that the lines be de-energized.For aerial lift operators, even if you thinkthe line has been de-energized, it's best,from a safety point of view to treat theline as if it is still energized, and keep theaerial lift at least IO feet from any overheadpower line.Those of you working atop the aerial lift

should also keep your distance from over-head lines. If you feel the aerial lift is tooclose to an overhead line, making it diffi-cult for you to keep your distance and stillget your work done, be sure to inform yoursupervisor.

Share Your Questions And ConcernsAccidents involving aerial lifts are often

very serious. We hope we never have todeal with the aftermath of an accident onour site. Therefore, we ask that you attendall training sessions and ask questions toclarify anything that you don't understand.Remember, you're not the only one wholearns from your questions. Your co-workerslearn too.We also ask that you keep safety as your

first priority whenever work involves aeriallifts. If you think a work condition is unsafe,talk to your supervisor. You might just beprotecting yourself and your co-workersfrom an accident that's waiting to happen.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Portland Cement

Use Caution When WorkingWith Portland CementPortland cement is an ingredient found

in a number of materials on constructionsites - from concrete, mortar and plaster togrout, stucco and terrazzo. Due to its wide-spread use, many of you have worked withmaterials containing portland cement. Andmany of you know that contact with wetportland cement can be tough on your skin.Today, I'd like to take a few minutes to

talk about portland cement, how it can harmyour skin and how you can protect yourself.If your skin comes into contact with wet

portland cement, you are at risk of develop-ing a cement-related skin condition. Portlandcement is caustic and can cause burns.Unfortunately, many workers who developcement burns are not aware of the problemuntil after serious skin damage has occurred.These burns often result in blisters, as wellas dead, hardened and/or discolored skin. Insevere cases, damage from the burns mayextend to the bone.Another potential skin condition that could

develop from contact with wet portlandcement is dermatitis, an inflammation of theskin. Additionally, portland cement oftencontains small amounts of hexavalent chro-mium. Contact with hexavalent chromiumcan cause a condition known as allergic con-tact dermatitis in some workers. These work-ers can have severe inflammatory reactionswhenever they come into contact with thehexavalent chromium in portland cement.

Proper PPE Is EssentialAny time we use materials containing port-

land cement, it's important that you use theappropriate personal protective equipment(PPE). In addition to proper eye protection,gloves are essential. Wewill provide youwith appropriate gloves, most likely madeof butyl or nitrile, which are usually recom-mended when working with caustic materialssuch as portland cement.

There are a few things that you shoulddo to make sure the gloves we provide willproperly protect your skin:• Make sure that the gloves fit yourhands. Do not use loose-fitting gloves.

• Wash and dry your hands before puttingon your gloves.

• Wear a long-sleeve shirt and duct tapeif,the sleeves to your gloves ttl prevent

wet cement from getting inside gloves.• Clean the outside of gloves before remov-ing them by rinsing or wiping off anywet cement. Follow the manufacturer'sinstructions for cleaning your gloves.

• Keep the inside of the gloves clean anddry, and throw out contaminated orworn-out gloves.

• Do not use barrier creams or "invisiblegloves." These products are not effectivein protecting skin from portland cement.

At times, it may be necessary for you towear waterproof boots to prevent wet cementfrom coming into contact with your legs andfeet. As an added safety measure, it's a goodidea to tuck your pant legs inside the bootsand wrap duct tape around the top of theboots. Also, when leaving work for the day,change out of contaminated work clothes,and keep the contaminated clothing separatefrom your street clothes.

Skin Care Is ImportantSkin that has come into contact with wet

portland cement should be washed with apH-neutral or slightly acidic soap. It's impor-tant that you do not wash with abrasivesor waterless hand cleaners, such as alcohol-based gels. It's also important that you donot use lanolin, petroleum jelly or other skinsoftening products because these productscan seal cement residue to the skin, whichcan cause further irritation.Remember, it's for your protection that we

ask you to properly use the PPE we provideand always follow safe work practices.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

What You Should KnowAbout Welding Fumes

If you have ever been involved in weld-ing operations, you probably know firsthandabout the potential danger of the work, suchas fire and exposure to ultraviolet radiation.You're probably also aware of the fumes cre-ated during welding. But do you know howdangerous these can be?

Today, I'd like to take a few minutes totalk about the hazards that you face fromexposure to welding fumes, as well as thesteps you can take to stay safe.

The Hazards Associated With Welding FumesDepending on the type of material being

welded, the fumes that are created can betoxic. For instance, if you weld or cut metalsthat have been coated with lead-based paint,lead oxide fumes can result. Inhaling thesefumes can cause lead poisoning, which canresult in damage to the brain, central ner-vous system, circulatory system, reproduc-tive system, kidneys and muscles.

Exposure to mercury is another possiblehazard. Mercury compounds are sometimesused to coat metals to prevent rust. Duringwelding, mercury vapors are produced.Exposure to the vapors can cause stomachpain, diarrhea, kidney damage or respiratoryfailure. Long-term exposure can cause trem-ors, emotional instability and hearing loss.

Some other toxic metals that are some-times found in welding fumes include cad-mium, beryllium and zinc. Overexposure toany of these metals can result in illness andlong-term health problems.

Another welding-related hazard is the pos-sibility that the fumes, along with the gasescreated during welding activities, could dis-place the oxygen in the air. If this happens,workers are at risk of asphyxiation.

PPE To Protect You From Hazardous FumesObviously, we will take the necessary steps

to adequately ventilate any area where

[TM Foreman's Safety Meeting Scrip, I

Welding

welding operations are being performed. Youdon't need to worry about that. However,there will be times when ventilation will notprovide adequate protection. When this is thecase, OSHArequires the use of appropriaterespirators. We expect you to wear the respi-rators when required, and to attend trainingsessions on respirator maintenance and use.

Depending on the particular welding fumes,OSHAmay require other personal protec-tive equipment (PPE). For instance, protec-tive clothing - including gloves, sleeves andencapsulating suits - may be necessary toprevent skin contact with fumes. We willperiodically evaluate the chemical-resistantclothing we provide to ensure its continuedeffectiveness against fumes. It's importantthat you keep protective clothing in goodcondition, free of oil and grease. You shouldalso note that protective clothing may makeit difficult for your bOdyto cool off, espe-cially during hot weather. If you find thatyou are uncomfortably hot in the protectiveclothing we provide, bring the concern toyour supervisor.

Not only is your skin vulnerable to con-tact with welding fumes, but so are youreyes. Therefore, splash-proof chemical safetygoggles or face shields are required in alloperations where a solvent, caustic or othertoxic substance could splash into your eyes.Eyewash facilities will be available near thewelding operation in case of emergency.

Remember, depending on the materialbeing welded, fumes can contain toxic metalparticles. Inhaling these particles can resultin long-term serious and debilitating ill-nesses. It can also result in death. There aremany steps we will take to ensure your pro-tection from these fumes, including provid-ing adequate and proper ventilation. We askthat you do your part by following safe workpractices and wearing the protective equip-ment that we provide to you. As with alloperations on our site, if you have questionsor concerns, please talk to your supervisor.

Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Explosives

Use Caution When WorkingWith Exp_lo_si_v_es _Today, I'd like to take a few minutes to

review some of the OSHA-recommendedsafety measures you should follow to makesure you and your co-workers stay safewhen using explosives at a work site.Perhaps the biggest danger when work-

ing with explosives is the risk of an igni-tion source unexpectedly setting off theexplosives. Therefore, it's essential that youdo not smoke or use firearms, open flamelamps or heat-producing devices near storedexplosives or while handling, transporting orusing the explosives.In addition, weather conditions should

be considered if electric blasting caps arebeing used at the job site. These caps can beunexpectedly detonated by certain fields ofelectrical energy, including electrical storms.Therefore, if we experience such a storm, wewill stop the blasting operations and moveyou to a safe location.For those of you who will physically han-

dle the explosives, there are several safetymeasures you should follow. For instance,you should never use sparking metal toolsto open wooden cases of explosives. Youcan use metallic slitters for opening fiber-board cases, but make sure that the slitterdoes not come into contact with the metallicfasteners of the case. Any empty boxes orpacking materials that previously containedexplosives may not be used again for anypurpose and should be burned at a safe loca-tion. Also, damaged explosives can be verydangerous. Therefore, if you feel the explo-sives are damaged, do not use them. Instead,bring the concern to your foreman.

Safety Measures For The BlasterIf you are the blaster, you are responsible

for the safety of your co-workers on the site.You must have the necessary knowledge andexperience in transporting, storing, handlingand using explosives, as well as a working

knowledge of the state and local regulationsthat pertain to explosives. You must alsohave a system in place to warn your co-workers of danger, which can include visualand audible warning signals, flags or barri-cades. Everyone on the job site must under-stand and follow the warning signals youuse.

What To Do If An Explosive MisfiresMisfires can be especially dangerous. While

we hope we never have to deal with anexplosive that misfires, we all need to knowwhat to do if this situation occurs. The firststep the blaster will take in the event of amisfire is to suspend all work and removeunauthorized employees from the dangerzone.If the misfire occurs in a hole, it's impor-

tant that the explosive is not pulled out ofthe hole. Instead, a new primer should beplaced in the hole and the explosive shouldbe re-fired. If re-firing presents a hazard,then the explosive may be removed by wash-ing it out with water. If a misfire occurswhile using a cap and fuse, everyone shouldstay away from the charge for at least anhour. Then, all wires should be carefullytraced and a search should be made for theunexploded charges.Because it's essential that an accurate

record be kept of all explosives used onthe job, under no circumstances should anyexplosives or blasting agents be abandonedat the site, including those explosives thatmisfire.Remember, if explosives are used dur-

ing demolition work, the risk of accidents,worker injuries and even deaths increases.To ensure your safety, as well as the safetyof your co-workers, we ask that each of youexercises extreme caution when transport-ing, handling or using explosives. And ifyou are ever unsure of the safest way toapproach the work, ask your foreman.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Job HazardAnalysis

Protecting Yourself FromWork Site HazardsKeeping you safe from work site hazards

is our main goal. However, determiningexactly what hazards each of you face cansometimes be difficult. According to OSHA,one of the best ways to identify potentialhazards is through a job hazard analysis.A job hazard analysis helps us identify

hazards before they occur by focusing onthe relationship between each of you and thetasks you perform, the tools you use and theenvironment you work in. In other words,it helps us see all the things that could gowrong while you are performing your job,as well as the kind of injuries and accidentsthat could occur if something does go wrong.

How You Can HelpEach of you knows through hands-on

experience what your job entails, includingthe hazards you face. Therefore, to aid usin our job hazard analysis, we may ask foryour help. For instance, since almost all jobscan be broken down into job tasks or steps,we may ask you to discuss each step youtake to complete your work. By discussingeach step of your job, we will be able to seeexactly what your job involves, what toolsyou must use and under what conditions youwork.We may also ask you to participate in a

preliminary job review. This allows you todiscuss with us any hazards that you feelexist at your workstation and the surround-ing area. It also gives you the opportunity tosuggest ways to control or eliminate any ofthose hazards.It's also important that we review with

each of you any injuries or illnesses thatyou have experienced on the job, as well asany near misses. This discussion can be veryhelpful in letting us know whether our cur-rent hazard control methods are workingproperly to protect you.

How To Control HazardsOncewe determine the kinds of hazards

you face on the job, we will consider variouscontrol methods for eliminating or reducingthose hazards. According to OSHA,the mosteffective means of controlling a hazard is theuse of engineering controls. Engineering con-trols involve physically changing a machineor work environment to prevent your expo-sure to a hazard. For example, if you arecutting wood, we will ensure that propermachine guards are in place to prevent youfrom coming into contact with the blade ofthe machine.Sometimes engineering controls are not

possible or do not effectively control thehazard. If this is the case, we will considerusing administrative controls, which involvechanging the way in which you performyour work. For example, if you work in anarea of high noise, we may use a job-rotationschedule to limit the time you spend in thenoisy environment.Safe work practices, which are procedures

you can use to limit your exposure to haz-ardous conditions, are essential no matterwhat kind of work you perform. In fact,even when engineering controls work toreduce or eliminate exposure to a hazard,you should still use safe work practices.Therefore, you will be trained on the safework practices that will help protect youfrom the job hazards you face. We expectyou to use these practices any time you'reon the job, no matter what other safety mea-sures are in place.If we cannot control the hazards through

engineering or administrative controls, wewill provide you with appropriate personalprotective equipment to ensure your safety.We will also train you on the equipment,including how to properly use and maintainit. We expect you to attend the training ses-sions and to use the equipment whenevernecessary to ensure your safety.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

The Foreman's Safety Meeting Script

Vehicle Safety

Vehicle Safety:It's Up To All Of UsOne of the most common causes of worker

injury on construction sites is being struckby an object, and oftentimes, that object is amotor vehicle or other piece of heavy equip-ment. Serious injuries, and even deaths,have resulted from workers being pinnedbetween construction vehicles and walls,struck by swinging backhoes and other simi-lar accidents.Today, I'd like to take a few minutes to

talk about the safety measures, as out-lined by the Road Construction IndustryConsortium Awareness Program, that youcan take to protect yourself and your co-workers from being injured by the motorvehicles and heavy equipment that operateon our sites.

If You Are An Equipment OperatorIf you operate heavy equipment or motor

vehicles on a construction site, you have agreat deal of responsibility on your shoul-ders. You must be familiar with the workzone and your position in it, as well as theinternal traffic control plan. It's also essen-tial that you are aware of the equipment'sblind spots and when applicable, the equip-ment's swing radius.It's also important that you make sure theequipment is safe to use. Therefore, beforestarting the equipment, you should do awalk-around inspection to look for defects.You should also test the back-up alarm andother safety devices; locate and test con-trols; and wipe up any grease or fluid on theequipment's walking/working surfaces toprevent slipping accidents.While operating the equipment, you shouldknow the location of people working nearyou and be aware of other moving vehiclesand equipment on-site. Wewill set up a sys-tem, such as hand signals, for communicat-ing with co-workers and we expect you touse the system that we establish.

If You Work Near Vehicles Or EquipmentIf you work near moving vehicles or equip-

ment, there are many safe practices thatyou can use to make sure you stay injury-free. For instance, we will train you on thecommunication signals that vehicle operatorswill use. It's essential that you understandand use these signals. In fact, you shouldnever approach a vehicle until you havecommunicated with the operator and heor she signals back to you. It's also impor-tant that you stay outside a "safety circle"around the vehicle or equipment. Remember,if you can't see the operator, then he or shecan't see you.Other safety tips you should follow include:• Remain alert at all times.• Check your surroundings often.• Listen for warning signals.• Keep a safe distance from movingvehicles and heavy equipment .

• Stay behind barriers where possible.• Warn co-workers of any dangers thatyou become aware of.

Whether you operate vehicles and heavyequipment or work nearby, there are a fewsafety measures you should always take.For example, we will provide each of youwith the proper protective equipment, suchas high-visibility clothing and headgear. Weexpect you to use this equipment wheneverrequired. We also expect you to follow oursafety rules and to avoid all reckless behav-ior that could contribute to an accident.Also, it's important that you do not use cellphones, AM/FMradios and CDplayers thatcould distract you from your work.Each of you must also attend all training

sessions. We encourage you to share yourknowledge and experience, point out anywork site conditions that you feel might behazardous to worker safety and ask ques-tions if there is any safety rule that you donot understand.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Job SiteSafety Talks Cau!lht-In

Accidents

Be Aware Of Caught-In AndCaught-Between HazardsToday, I'd like to take a few minutes to

talk about the caught-in and caught-betweenhazards that you may face during your workactivities and the steps you can take to pro-tect yourself from these hazards.While many people think that struck-by

and caught-between or caught-in hazardsare the same thing, there is actually a dif-ference. OSHAnotes that if the impact alonecreates the injury, then the hazard is con-sidered to be a struck-by hazard. However,if the injury is created more as a result ofcrushing injuries between objects, then thehazard is considered to be a caught-in orcaught-between hazard.There are many working conditions that

can contribute to a caught-in or caught-between hazard, including:• Machinery that has moving parts• Working with or near moving equipment• Working with walls or scaffolding that

could collapse during construction activities.

Protecting You From HazardsIf you are working with machinery that

has moving parts, you could be seriouslyinjured if a part of your body, such as ahand, is pulled into the equipment. This iswhy we will ensure that all machinery withmoving parts is equipped with appropriateguards and proper safety switches.Workers have also been fatally injured

when repairing or maintaining equipmentwith moving parts. This is especially trueif the equipment unexpectedly starts up,which is why we have established a lockout/tagout program. Our lockout/tagout programensures that the equipment cannot unexpect-edly start up while you are repairing, clean-ing or servicing the equipment.Working with or near moving equipment

is another source of potential caught-in orcaught-between hazards. Workers have been

injured and killed when caught between asolid object, such as a wall or stacked mate-rials, and moving equipment. To protect youfrom this hazard, we will arrange safe travelpaths for loading and unloading, and stack-ing and storing materials. Equipment opera-tors should always keep the equipment ata safe distance from their co-workers. Theyshould also wear seat belts to prevent beingthrown from the equipment and possiblycrushed if the equipment should tip over.When working from scaffolding, there is

always the risk that the scaffolding couldcollapse, especially if it is erected on anunstable foundation or if the scaffoldingcomponents are weak. OSHArequires us toensure that any scaffolding we use on oursites has been set up under the supervisionof a competent person who is capable ofidentifying all existing and potential hazardsat the site and who knows how to protectyou from those hazards.

Additional Steps You Can TakeThere are many ways you can protect

yourself from caught-in and caught-betweenhazards on a construction site, including:• Be aware at all times of the equipment

around you and maintain a safe distancefrom the equipment.• Never place yourself between moving

materials and an immovable structure, vehi-cle or stacked materials.• Make sure that all loads carried by

equipment are stable and secure.Remember, caught-in and caught-between

hazards can cause serious and fatal injurieson construction sites. While we will do ourbest to keep you safe from these hazards,you should do your part by staying alertto the possible dangers and using any safework practices that we train you on. And.if you ever encounter a work situation thatyou feel puts you at danger of injury, pleasebring the concern to your foreman.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

PowerTransmission

How To Handle TheHazards Of PowerTransmission WorkToday, we're going to talk about working

with transmission and distribution systems.Those of us who are involved in this kind ofwork face serious risks, including electrocu-tion, falls and other major hazards.According to OSHAstatistics, individu-

als who perform the construction of thesesystems have a risk of 17 to 23 deaths per1,000 workers over a working lifetime. Thisis part of the reason why there are so manyrules pertaining to protecting workers whoare involved in erecting new electric trans-mission and distribution lines and equip-ment, as well as those who alter, convert orimprove existing lines and equipment.Let's review some of the specifics.

Start With An InspectionTo begin with, before any job, we must

conduct an initial inspection. We need to takea look at existing conditions, including: ener-gized lines and equipment; the condition ofpoles; and the location of circuits and equip-ment, including power and communicationlines, CATVand fire alarm circuits. Duringthis process, we'll figure out the operatingvoltage of equipment and the lines. However,to keep us all safe, all electrical equipmentand lines should be treated as if they areenergized until we determine that they arenot.

Inadequate Clearance Costs LivesAssuming that the inspection goes well and

conditions are safe, there are other hazardsto think about. One of the most common -and deadly - is inadequate clearance.This is why no employee is allowed to

approach exposed energized parts any closerthan is allowed by OSHA.Exactly what thisdistance is depends on the voltage we'redealing with. If there is ever a situation in

which you are unsure, ask.Clearly, the best - and sometimes the

only - way to be safe is to de-energize linesand equipment. When we are dealing withmore than 600 volts, and the means of dis-connecting from electric energy is not visiblyopen or locked out, there are certain thingswe have to do.

De-Energize Safely• The section of line or equipment that

we're going to de-energize must be clearlyidentified and isolated from all sources ofvoltage.• A designated employee will be notified

and assured that all switches and disconnec-tors through which electric energy may besupplied to the particular section of line orequipment to be worked on have been de-energized.• All switches and disconnectors will be

tagged to indicate that people are at work.When possible, switches and disconnectorswill be rendered inoperable.• After all designated switches and discon-

nectors have been opened, rendered inoper-able and tagged, we'll inspect them to makesure they have been de-energized.• Protective grounds will be put on the dis-

connected lines or equipment.• Guards or barriers will be erected as

necessary to adjacent energized lines.• When more than one independent crew

needs to de-energize the same line or equip-ment, a tag for each crew will be placedon the line or equipment by the designatedemployee in charge.• When work is completed, each desig-

nated employee in charge must make surethat all crew members are clear and thatprotective guards installed by the crew havebeen removed. These designated employeesin charge must also report to the designatedauthority that all tags protecting the crewmay be removed.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Respirators

Some Important WordsAbout RespiratorsMillions of American workers are requiredto wear respirators on the job. While mostof these employees fall outside of the con-struction industry, there are occasions whenrespirators are necessary on a constructionsite.Respirators are designed to protect usagainst insufficient oxygen environments,and harmful dusts, gases, vapors andsprays. These hazards can be linked to can-cer, lung impairment and other diseases, sowhen respirators are required, it is for goodreason.

A Medical Evaluation Is NecessaryWorkers assigned to tasks that requirerespirator use must be physically able toperform the work while using the respira-tor. A local physician or licensed healthcare professional (LHCP)will determine anemployee's eligibilityby performing a medi-cal evaluation. This evaluation must be donebefore the employee is fit tested and uses therespirator in the workplace. The employermust obtain a written recommendation fromthe physician or LHCPfor each employee'sability to wear a respirator. Additionalmedical evaluations must be provided when-ever health care professionals deem themappropriate.

Choosing The Right RespiratorOncewe know what type of hazard we'redealing with and an employee has beengiven the OKby a physician or LHCP,wecan select the appropriate type of respirator.There are several kinds:• Air-purifying respirators are designed toremove specific contaminants from theair. They work by having the air passthrough a filter, cartridge or canister.

• Atmosphere-supplying respirators pro-vide clean air from a separate source.Sometimes the user is carrying thatsource. If so, this is referred to as

a self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA).If you are not carrying the airsource yourself, you are using a sup-plied air respirator.

When an employee is required to wear arespirator, he or she will be carefully fittedprior to beginning any work. This will helpensure that the respirator does its job andeffectively protects the employee from anycontaminants in the work environment.

Oxygen-Deficient EnvironmentsWhen there is not enough oxygen in aparticular work area, it is said to be oxygendeficient. An oxygen-deficientwork area isone that is considered immediately danger-ous to life or health, or IDLH.Obviously,these areas require special attention andextra care. When you are in an IDLHsitua-tion, not only must you wear the right res-pirator, but you are also required to stay invisual, voice or signal contact with at leastone employee outside that atmosphere. Thatperson will be equipped with a positive pres-sure SCBAand will have been trained to per-form an emergency rescue.Emergency rescues and/ or firefighting inIDLHsituations are extremely dangerousactivities. At least two trained employeesmust enter the IDLHarea to perform eitherof these tasks. They must wear SCBAsandstay in constant voice or visual contact witheach other.Finally, at least two other employees -both equipped with SCBAs- must be sta-tioned outside the IDLHspace.There are more safety precautions andprocedures surrounding respirators than wehave time to discuss today. The importantthing to remember is that respirators areused only in very hazardous environments.Using them requires special training andextensive fit testing. It is not a matter ofjust grabbing a respirator and throwing it onwhen you think you need one.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Safe WorkPractices

Safe Work PracticesOn-Site: Important PointsTo Keep In MindYou have probably heard the phrase "safe

work practices" a million times. Obviously,what this means varies from job to job andsite to site. We do our best to keep you upto speed about the hazards that are uniqueto each site, but we can't review every safework practice every time. This is why wecount on you to keep some of the more uni-versal safety rules in mind regardless of thejob or site. Let's talk about some of thesegeneral safety rules:1. One of the most important rules is to

report every injury and illness to your fore-man. Even injuries that seem small canbecome significant if we don't deal with themright away.2. Running on a construction site flies in the

face of safety. Slips, trips and falls can leadto disabling injuries, especially in a construc-tion environment.3. Follow good housekeeping rules. You

might think that housekeeping has littleplace on a construction site. However, leav-ing tools, nails or other equipment lyingaround is a major safety hazard.4. Something we rarely discuss is the fact

that weapons have no place near or on anywork site. Guns, knives and other weaponsare not permitted on-site - including in theparking area.s. This is a drug-free workplace. Coming

to work under the influence of alcohol ordrugs puts you and your co-workers at risk.Failing to follow this rule is enough to getyou fired.6. Think about fire safety at all times. Be

sure to dispose of trash properly, especiallyoily or chemical-soaked rags that could eas-ily ignite. Make sure you know what to doin the event of a fire and what your specificrole should be.

7. Horseplay will not be tolerated. We dealwith a lot of hazardous equipment, tools,electricity and sharp objects that couldbecome deadly if we don't pay attention.Fooling around with this kind of stuff is abad idea.8. Never try to lift, move or carry some-

thing that is too heavy. Instead, ask for helpor use a dolly or forklift. The tendency is tograb the whole load yourself to save time. Inthe long run, this could cost you.9. If you notice anyone on the site who is

falling to follow safety rules, report it to yourforeman. Don't feel like you're telling onsomeone or getting the person into trouble.The truth is, you are helping to prevent anaccident that could injure that individual orother co-workers.10. Be sure you are aware of the rules

related to lockout/tagout. Even if you arenot directly involved, it is important thatyou respect the locks and tags of others.Lockout/tagout accidents can be especiallyserious.11. Never attempt to :fixa tool or piece of

equipment, clear ajam or push somethingthrough while a device or vehicle is operating.In some cases, the device should be lockedout before any type of service, adjustment orrepair. In other cases, simply turning off theengine is enough. Failing to follow this rulecould result in an amputation - or worse.12. Regardless of your job, know what type

of personal protective equipment is requiredand use it every time.13. If you ever have a question about safety

rules and procedures, ask.

A Final WordObviously, there are specific requirements

we must follow for specific safety hazardson a site. However, by keeping these generalrules in mind, we will all be contributing to asafer work environment despite the hazardsthat are present.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

('!) Make sure there are good connectionsand effective grounds in all wiring. Thisis something you should be doing everytime you use a power tool.

G Do not allow dust or grease to accumu-late on tools or equipment.

€> Know the proper exits and proceduresin case of an emergency.

A Word About Combustibles And FlammablesFrom time to time, we may use and store

combustible and flammable materials on oursite. When this is the case, the risk of fireincreases. To reduce the risk, follow theserules:

() Dispose of combustible waste in covered,airtight, metal containers.

o Use and store flammable materials inwell-ventilated areas away from poten-tial ignition sources.

o Remember that combustibles and flam-mables may not be stored where the riskof an underground fire exists.

o If combustibles and flammables arestored outside, they should be kept atleast 10 feet away from any building orstructure.

If we work together to store combus-tible and flammable materials properly,the chances of fire are greatly reduced.Remember, even a leaking drum of lacquerthinner can be a fire hazard if the right pre-cautions are not taken.

A Final WordAlthough we hope never to experience a

fire on one of our sites, we all need to beprepared for the possibility. Therefore, inthe event that a fire does occur, don't panic.Instead, do your best to keep calm and followinstructions. Also, if you spot a fire hazard,report it. Your actions might just prevent adevastating fire from developing on our site.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

What We Should All KnowAbout Fire ProtectionA fire on our site could be devastating. It

could destroy property or, worse, it couldtake lives. Unfortunately, fires are fairlycommon on construction sites. Some are theresult of arson activities, while others occurunexpectedly during the course of everydayactivities. To help protect each of you, OSHArequires us to develop a thorough fire protec-tion program. Wemust also provide firefight-ing equipment and ensure that it is easilyaccessible at all times.

Fire Prevention TipsThere are many different ways a fire

can break out on a construction site, frompoor housekeeping to simple carelessness.However, keeping the followingtips in mindwill help prevent a fire from starting on oneof our sites:

o Never allow trash, litter or other flam-mable materials to accumulate.

€) Keep your work area organized andclean.

€) Make sure you are clear on our firea1arJnprocedures. If you're not sure,ask.

o Find out where t'"lreextinguishers arelocated and, if necessary, learn how touse them.

CD There are several different types of fireextinguishers and some are safe on onlyspecific types of fires. If you are expect-ed to use a fire extinguisher, make sureyou are familiar with the different typesand how and when to use them.

€) Do not smoke at or near operationswhere fire hazards exist. Smoke onlywhere permitted.

o At times, we have hazardous materialson the site. Always make sure they arestored properly and in designated areas.

o Do your part to keep all exits free ofobstructions.

Important Crane AndDerrick Safetu!p_s _There are a lot of potential hazards that

can be found on a construction site. Many ofthem are pretty familiar because we deal withthem every day. Others are not so familiarand we need to use extra caution when theydo affect us.Personnel platforms on cranes and derricks

present some of these hazards. OSHAregula-tions prohibit the use of a crane or derrickto hoist employees on a personnel platform,unless there is no safe alternative. Thismeans that hoisting operations can often beperformed without cranes and derricks.However, there are plenty of occasions

when cranes and derricks are necessary.For example, steel erection operations donot always allow for conventional means ofaccess. Therefore, personnel platforms oncranes and derricks are common in theseoperations. Cranes and derricks are also usedin other types of work. This is why we needto know a little bit about how to stay safe.There are a lot of things we do to ensure

safety during these operations that do noteven involve any of you. Before a crane orderrick can be operated or used to hoist per-sonnel, there are a number of things thatwe check and double-checkto make sure wedon't have an accident or injury. We're evenrequired to perform a trial lift to make sureeverything is working before we actually raiseany of our workers.

How Workers Can Boost Safety EffortsHowever, we can't be responsible for every-

thing. There are also a number of ways thatemployees can contribute to safe person-nel hoisting operations and help reduce thenumber of associated accidents and injuries.Let's talk about a few of the basic safe workpractices that apply to anyone working in thevicinity of this kind of operation:1. Use tag lines unless their use creates

IThe Foreman's Safety Meeting ScriPt I

Cranes AndDerricks

an unsafe condition. If you are not sure, askyour foreman before proceeding.2. If you are actually on the personnel

platform, make sure you keep all body partsinside the platform while it is being raised,lowered and positioned. This can help preventa major injury.3. Make sure the platform is adequately

secured to the structure where the work isto be performed before entering or exiting it,unless securing it would create an unsafe con-dition.4. Except over water, wear a body belt!

harness system. Remember that the lanyardmust be attached to the lower load block oroverhaul ball, or to an appropriate structuralmember within the personnel platform. Makesure you understand how to properly attachthe lanyard.If the hoisting operation is performed over

water, there are additional requirements. Ifyou don't know what they are and you havenot been properly trained, see your foremanbefore proceeding.5. Always stay in view of or in direct com-

munication with the operator or the signalperson. If there is any kind of problem, notifythis person immediately.

Rules For OperatorsThose of you who are actually operating

the crane or derrick have additional safetyconcerns and added responsibility. Let's talkabout a few things our operators can do tohelp keep all of us safe during hoisting opera-tions:1. Crane and derrick operators should

never leave the controls when the engine isrunning or when the platform is occupied.2. Operators should stop all hoisting opera-

tions if there are any indications of danger,including adverse weather conditions.3. Operators should not conduct any lifts on

another of the crane's or derrick's load lineswhile personnel are suspended on a platform.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Hard Hats

Hard Hats Save LivesBy now, I think all of you are familiar

with the OccupationalSafety and HealthAdministration, or OSHA.OSHAis the agencythat sets up the safety and health rules andregulations for workplaces across the coun-try - including those involved in construc-tion. Usually, when we think about OSHArules, we're concerned with the "big" things,like scaffold safety and trenching and shor-ing. However, there are regulations on almosteverything, including some of the things wemight consider minor.One of OSHA'sstandards deals with head

protection. This might be one of those thingswe consider minor. The reality is, though,that head protection on a construction site isan absolute must. The consequences of notwearing a hard hat can be lifelong- andsometimes deadly.An Example Of What Can HappenFor example, one of the cases OSHAinves-

tigated involved two employees who wereusing a wire rope to winch a wooden toolshed onto a flat bed trailer. The wire ropebroke, snapped back and struck one of theemployees in the top of the head, killing him.The employee was not wearing a hard hat.While this might be an unusual situation,

there are thousands of other examples ofpotential hazards to the head.OSHA'shead protection standard basi-

cally requires employees to wear hard hatsto eliminate or minimize the effects of beingstruck by an object, accidentally striking thehead against an object or making contactwith an energized electrical line.These types of accidents are common to

almost all construction operations and arenot predictable. In addition, almost all con-struction work sites involve the potential forfalling and flying objects. So you can see whyit is essential to wear head protection on thejob.

Most hard hats are designed to protect youfrom blows to the head. They act as shockabsorbers. The hard hat's outer shell isdesigned to take the blow and then the innerlining is designed as a cushion to absorb theshock. The hard hat's headband keeps theouter shell away from your head to ensureyour head does not take the blow.OSHA'sstandard is intended not only for

those of you who may be directly involvedin on-site activities, but also for those of youwho work in the vicinity of an operation thatcould present hazards.There Are Several Classes Of Hard HatsOften, hard hats used in construction are

Class C hard hats. They are designed toprotect against impact. However, they don'toffer any voltage resistance, so they shouldnot be used in areas where there are elec-trical hazards. Those who work .near high-voltage electricity should wear Class B hardhats, which offer the highest protectionagainst electrical hazards.Onceyou have selected the correct hard

hat, make sure it fits. Hard hats have adjust-able headbands. The headband should fitsnugly to keep the outer shell away fromyour head. Also, never wear a hard hat overanother hat; it could affect the fit and putyou at risk. If it is cold outside, there arespecial winter liners that are specificallydesigned for use with hard hats.Bumps And Scrapes Indicate ProblemsTo keep your hard hat in optimal condi-

tion, you need to take care of it. Don't throwit around. Bumps and scrapes will affect ahard hat's ability to protect you. Also, youshould never store a hard hat in a hot area,like on the back ledge of your car. The heatcan cause deterioration to your hard hat.In spite of the fact that you take care of

your hard hat, it is also important to checkit before using it. If you notice any cracksor holes, don't use it. Also, if you know thehard hat has taken a heavy blow - even ifthere is no visible damage - don't use it.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.

Fall Protection

How To Prevent FallsThrough Roof OpeningsFalls are all too common in the construc-

tion industry. Due to the nature of the work,including the need to work at heights, peopleperforming roofing work are at particularrisk for falls.In an attempt to protect employees who

are performing roofing work, OSHArequiresthat every employee who is on a walking/working surface must be protected from fall-ing through holes (including skylights) thatare more than 6 feet above lower levels. Thisprotection can come in the form of a per-sonal fall arrest system (PFAS), covers or aguardrail system erected around such holes.Workers Must Take ResponsibilityWe take safety seriously on our sites. If

you are working near skylights or roof open-ings, we will provide the appropriate fall pro-tection systems and training that will helpkeep you safe. But remember, you have acertain degree of responsibility too. We counton you to be responsible enough to adhere tothe safe work practices and procedures thatwe have established. Some of the things youcan do are pretty simple - not much morethan common sense. Others might be a littlemore complicated, but should be things thatyou come to remember automatically.Ten Safety TipsHere are some tips from the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and Healthto help prevent falls through skylights, roofopenings and even floor openings:1. Never sit on, lean against or step ona skylight or any covering placed overa hole in a roof or floor. The materialused for the cover may not supportyour weight.

2. Guard or securely cover all holes youhave created or uncovered before youleave the work area. Other workers maynot notice an uncovered hole and could

accidentally fall through it.3. Ask your foreman for the safety proce-dures to followwhen covering or guard-ing a hole.

4. Get fall protection information fromyour foreman.

5. Always use a personal fall arrest sys-tem (PFAS)when working over anunguarded or uncovered opening that ismore than 6 feet above a lower level.(An example would be if you are install-ing a skylight in an opening that cannotbe guarded or covered because of thenature of the work.)

6. If you use a PFAS, inspect it every dayand report any damage or deficiencies toyour foreman. Tie off only to anchoragepoints that have been checked and iden-tified as being safe.

7. Immediately report to your foreman anyunguarded skylight or roof opening (orfloor opening) or other fall hazards inthe work area.

8. Participate in all safety and healthtraining programs.

9. Followthe safe work practices that havebeen established for your job.

10. If you have any questions about how toperform your job safely, ask your fore-man for instructions.

A Final WordKeep in mind that every year falls account

for the greatest number of fatalities in theconstruction industry. Studies show thatguardrails, personal fall arrest systems andcovers can prevent many deaths and injuriesfrom falls. However, they can't help protectyou if you do not use them when required.We ask that you use the fall protection we

have put in place and attend all training ses-sions that we provide. And if you are everunsure of how to safely use the protectiveequipment or if you become aware of anunsafe condition, see your foreman.Thanks for your attention.Have a safe day.
