Basic Workplace Safety Training
Safe Work Practices in the Work Place
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hazardous Materials & Chemicals
Basic safety principles for the following areas will be presented in this training session:
Additional safety training may be
required, as needed, for your specific job
duties. Your supervisor is
responsible for providing any additional job
specific training.
During this training session you will:
Learn and practice proper lifting, bending and pushing techniques
Check out the hazards around your job site
Use the right tool for the right job
Pick up after yourself – keep the job site neat
Discover the proper Protective Equipment
Learning how to work safely is important!
Besides the personal pain & suffering caused by an injury,
The cost for medical treatment, workers comprehensive insurance premiums, lost time & administrative time filling out forms and reports is very expensive!
Some injuries, like lower back
or knee injuries,
can cause problems for
the rest of your life!
The most common injuries are caused by:
Straining the Body
Being Hit by a Moving or Falling Object
Slips, Trips & Falls
Hazardous Chemicals
Hearing Loss
Eye Damage
Straining the Body
When lifting, reaching or stretching. The lower back is at
special risk of injury
Being hit by a moving or falling objectOr striking against an
object. The head, fingers, eyes and feet are especially
vulnerable to these accidents.
Slips, Trips & FallsThese injuries are among
the most costly and painful. They’re a hazard on any job
– and preventing them requires good safety sense.
Hazardous ChemicalsExposure to chemical
hazards can threaten your health and safety. Always learn the hazards involved
before you handle chemicals.
SDSSafetyDataSheet
Hearing LossLoud noise, over a period of time, can damage or destroy hearing. Take your company’s
hearing conservation program seriously. It’s for
your protection! Note: Do not use earphones/earbuds when
hearing protection such as ear plugs or earmuffs are required. Earphones/earbuds will
not protect you from loss of hearing.
Eye Damage
Flying objects, splashing liquids or molten metal, and heat or light require special
protection.
Stay out of Harm’s Way.
Use these
general safety
rules as your
guide:
Take the right attitude
Do the job properly
Stay out of harms way: Take the right attitude
The right attitude is the “safety first” attitude. It
means safety is your TOP priority on the job.
Stay out of harms way: Do the Job Properly
Know, and follow, the procedures for doing your
job properly. Use tools only for the job intended. And, follow all safety rules and
instructions.
Suit up for Safety!Know how to use the Proper PPE
(Personal Protective
Equipment) for your job. And make sure you
inspect and maintain it regularly.
Depending on the job at hand you may need: • Safety goggles or glasses• Work gloves• Hard hat • Safety shoes
Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Depending on the job at hand you may need: • Rubber boots (for working around electricity)• Earplugs or protectors• Face shield• Face mask or respirator
Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Take the strain out of lifting & moving:
Examine the load
Plan your path
Squat down
Grasp the object firmly
Lift with your legs
Turn with your feet
To Avoid Injury:Examine the load
for grease, oil, moisture or sharp edges.
To Avoid Injury: Plan your path
Make sure it’s free of obstructions.
To Avoid Injury:Squat Down
Straddle the load somewhat, and bend your
knees.
To Avoid Injury:Grasp the object firmly
Make sure your grip won’t slip.
To Avoid Injury:Lift with your legs,
Slowly straightening them. Avoid jerky motions.
To Avoid Injury:Turn with your feet
Instead of twisting your back.
Good Housekeeping is essential in every work environment!
• Wear slip resistant footwear• Report all spills and obstructions
to your supervisor• Wear traction footwear in winter and
freeze/thaw weather conditions• Pay attention to your walking surface• AVOID texting or distractions
Walking, Working Surfaces
• Always use the handrail
• Maintain a clear field of vision
• Walk up and down stairs – DON’T RUN
• Avoid distractions while using the stairs
Stairways
Don’t, read, text, or carry loads down the stairs
Ladders
Always use three points of contact
when climbing and descending ladders
NEVER use the top rung or the top step/hinged platform! If you need
more height, get a longer ladder!
IF SERIOUS: Call 911 or go to Urgent Care
Response to an Injury
Get qualified First-Aid Treatment if not so serious1) Notify your supervisory ASAP2) Notify Beth Hepola, Safety, ext. 8607.
Paperwork needs to be completed.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Section 2:
Bloodborne PathogensThis program is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requirement to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to Hepatitis B virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and other Bloodborne Pathogens. Unless
you are a medical care worker, athletic trainer, or custodian, your exposure risk is low.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Basic Safety Training Requirements – Bloodborne Pathogens
Beware of biohazard labeled items or red trash bags
Be very careful when handling trash, laundry, and sharps
Avoid any direct contact with blood. Report any accidental contact to your supervisor or your doctor
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.
Biohazard Symbol
Biohazard Trash
Assume anything with
blood on it may be infectious.
Universal Precaution
Notify your supervisor to have a qualified person clean up or handle a situation involving blood or other body fluids that may be infected.
Universal Precaution
Universal PrecautionImmediately notify your supervisor or get medical treatment if you think you have accidentally come in contact with infectious blood or other body fluids.
Ask your supervisor if you would like
additional information on training.
Be careful to use the Universal Precaution to avoid infection by
bloodborne pathogens.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hazardous Materials & Chemicals
Section 3:
Know what chemical you are
using and what the label says about
using it. If you put a chemical in
another container, be sure to LABEL it!
Labels
Know where the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), also called a Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) is for the hazardous chemicals
you are using.
MSDS / SDS
SDSSafetyDataSheet
This includes ALL cleaning chemicals.
Always wear the proper
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
when handling and using Hazardous
Materials.
Personal Protective Equipment
If you are unsure about the correct
use of any chemical, ask your supervisor
for additional instruction.

Hydrate with water at each break
Dress appropriately for every temperature condition
Do not work outside in severe weather
Heat & Cold Temperatures
Basic Safety Training - ColdWhen exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body’s stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. A body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and will not be able to do anything about it.
Early SymptomsShiveringFatigueLoss of
coordinationConfusion &
disorientation
Symptoms of hypothermia can vary depending on how long you have been exposed to the cold temperatures.
Symptoms of hypothermia can vary depending on how long you have been exposed to the cold temperatures.
Late SymptomsNo shiveringBlue skinDilated pupilsSlow pulse &
breathingLoss of
consciousness
98.6 Normal Core body Temperature
Lose 1.8 F - shivering as the body tries to stay warm
Lose 5.4 F – disorientation and confusion – struggle to talk
89.6 F shivering stops as there is no energy left
86 F Unconsciousness come around
82.4 F heartbeat irregularities may occur
64.8 F causes death.
Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related disorder. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature. The body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. When heat stroke occurs, the body temperature can rise to 106 F or higher within 10-15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.

Caution
NOTE:Heat index values combine the effects of humidity and temperature measure in the shade. Direct exposure to the sun can increase the heat index by as much as 15 F.
Excessive heat can take a toll!
Hot, dry skin or profuse sweating
HallucinationsChillsThrobbing headacheHigh body
temperatureConfusion / dizzinessSlurred speech
Heat Stroke Symptoms include:
Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to an excessive loss of the water and salt, usually through excessive sweating. Workers most prone to heat exhaustion are those that are elderly, have high blood pressure, and those working in a hot environment.
Heat Exhaustion
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion Heavy sweating Extreme weakness / fatigue Dizziness & confusion Nausea Clammy, moist skin Pale or flushed complexion Muscle cramps Slightly elevated body
temperature Fast & shallow breathing
Causes: Decreased fluid intake Increased heat exposure Increased activity
If you recognize any symptoms,
quit working, move to a cool location and seek medical help immediately!
