Young Worker Awareness

Page 2: Hcs3000 notes

What's Safe? What isn't?

A perfectly safe and healthy workplace would have no hazards.

Hazard: any situation, condition or thing that may be dangerous to the safety or health of workers.

Unfortunately, many workplace hazards are so familiar that we ignore them and put ourselves, and sometimes others, at risk.

Page 3: Hcs3000 notes

DID you know that most injuries among new workers happen within

the first year of work?

Young workers are at the greatest risk of getting injured during their first six months on the job.

Young men are more likely to be injured on the job than any other group of workers.

Page 4: Hcs3000 notes

DID you know that most injuries among new workers happen within

the first year of work? Most injuries take place in the

service industry - to students and other young people working as waiters, cooks and store clerks

Page 5: Hcs3000 notes

Do you know anyone that has been injured on the job?

What types of injuries can occur in the workplace?– Sprains and strains– Cuts– Broken bones– Loss of limbs– Crushing injuries– Internal organ damage– Eye injuries

Student Activity 1

Lost Youth QuizComplete Activity 1 before viewing the next few slides.

Page 10: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Video Quiz

1. Young workers have the same risk of injury on the job as other workers do.

❒ True ❒ False

False Young people between 15 and 24 years are particularly vulnerable to work-related injuries. They’re eager to please and have much to offer, but they typically lack the experience to judge what’s safe and what’s not.

Page 11: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Video Quiz

2. Only jobs in industries such as construction and forestry are dangerous for young workers.

❒ True ❒ False

False When people think about the risk of workplace injury, they assume it is pretty much limited to jobs in construction and manufacturing, and it’s true—these industries can be hazardous. However, most youth work in restaurants, supermarkets, and retail stores. are often shocked to hear that these are the sectors with the highest rate of injury to young workers.

Page 12: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Video Quiz

3. Injuries to young workers are often major ones.❒ True ❒ False

True Injuries to young workers do include minor strains, cuts, and bruises that heal quickly. But young workers also suffer from severe injuries—fractures and dislocations, for example—that result in short-term disability. Worst of all, young workers can and do suffer from very serious injuries such as amputations, broken backs, and third-degree burns. These injuries can mean permanent impairment, disfigurement, and disability

Page 13: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Video Quiz4. Young workers don’t have any health and safety

rights on the job—they can get fired for speaking up.

❒ True ❒ False

False All workers in Alberta are protected by the Workers Compensation Act . This legislation says employers must provide all employees with a safe workplace, adequate training and supervision, and properly maintained and functioning safety equipment. Workers also have the right to refuse work if they believe the task or conditions are unsafe. The Act also protects them from disciplinary action for reporting a safety or other work-related problem. Concerns can be reported anonymously to the WCB

Page 14: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Video Quiz5. Only the WCB can guarantee workplace

safety for young workers.❒ True ❒ False

False Keeping young workers safe is a shared responsibility. Employers, unions, co-workers, parents, educators, youth, the community, and the WCB all have a part to play.

Page 15: Hcs3000 notes

Lost Youth Summary More than 50 percent of work-related

accidents happen during a young worker’s first six months on the job.

Males under 25 are much more likely to be injured on the job than any other workers.

Each day in Alberta., 34 young workers are hurt on the job, or one every 42 minutes.

Every week, five of these young workers are permanently disabled in workplace accidents.

Hazards in the Workplace

It is important to know what hazards are, and to know what your rights and duties are when you meet them.

Some hazards can cause an immediate injury.

Page 20: Hcs3000 notes

Hazards in the Workplace For instance, you could slip and fall

on a wet or greasy floor, or be burned by a hot grill.

You could get splashed by a chemical, such as sulfuric acid or ammonia, and get a burn.

A fire or an explosion can cause serious injury or death.

Page 21: Hcs3000 notes

Hazards in the Workplace Burns, cuts, muscle strains and broken

bones are acute injuries you can feel as soon as the accident happens.

Some hazards can cause you to become sick or injured over a period of time.

For instance, if you work with certain hazardous chemicals, the damage that happens in your body may not be noticed right away.

Page 22: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard? Ask yourself what if questions... What if I bump into the open containers

of hot oil? What if the forklift tips over on my co-

worker in a fast turn? What if I inhale the toxic fumes from the

toilet cleaning chemicals? Learn to spot a hazard - before an

incident happens - is the first step to staying safe.

Page 23: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard?

Every job will have slightly different hazards.

Wherever you work, there are 4 main types of hazards and some examples:

Physical hazards– Using the same tool all day long – Being crushed by equipment – Tripping or falling

Page 24: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard?

Biological hazards– Bee stings – Allergic reaction to plants,

insects or mold – Being in contact with materials

where viruses or bacteria are present

Page 25: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard?

Chemical hazards– Using cleaning products

regularly – Using paint materials regularly – Using toxic chemicals

Page 26: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard?

Psychosocial Hazards– Intimidation, verbal abuse – Working hours – Rotating shift work

Page 27: Hcs3000 notes

How do you find a hazard?

Ergonomic hazards– Repetitive motions– Overexertion– Awkward Postures

Controlling a Hazard

Three key steps that can be used to control a hazard:– Recognition

– Evaluation

– Control

Page 30: Hcs3000 notes

Controlling a HazardSee it. Questions to ask: What is unsafe? How many unsafe

acts or conditions are there? What are the hazards?

Think it. Questions to ask: Why is it a hazardous situation?

What could happen? What is creating the hazard? What injuries could occur?

Do it. Questions to ask: What could be done to prevent an

accident from happening? What could minimize the risk? What could be done to eliminate or minimize the hazard?

WHMIS

Page 58: Hcs3000 notes

WHMIS

WHMIS STANDS for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System.

WHMIS is a nation-wide system that gives you the facts you need about the materials you handle in the workplace. WHMIS has three components: (1) Labels (2) Worker Education (3) Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)

Page 59: Hcs3000 notes

WHMIS Classes

WHMIS applies to materials called “controlled products”.

A controlled product is a product that meets the criteria for one or more of the six WHMIS hazard classes.

Each class, except Class D, has a separate “hazard symbol.

Class D has three hazard symbols — one for each of its divisions.

Page 60: Hcs3000 notes

WHMIS Classes

Page 61: Hcs3000 notes

Labels

There are two kinds of WHMIS labels — supplier labels and work site labels

Supplier labels appear on controlled products purchased from Canadian suppliers

Supplier labels provide basic information about how to handle a product safely.

Supplier labels have a distinctive rectangular slash-marked border.

Page 62: Hcs3000 notes

Labels

Supplier labels contain 7 pieces of information: (1) product name;(2) name and address of the supplier (3) symbols for each of the product’s hazard

classes(4) main hazards of the product(5) precautions during handling and use of the

product(6) first aid measures(7) reference to the MSDS for more information

Page 63: Hcs3000 notes

Labels

Page 64: Hcs3000 notes

Labels

Work site labels appear on controlled products that have been transferred from suppliers’ containers to work site containers, or products where the supplier label may be damaged or missing and on controlled products made at the work site

Page 65: Hcs3000 notes

LabelsWork site labels are less detailed than supplier labels and only require three pieces of information:

(1) name of the product;

(2) information on how to use the product safely; and

(3) reference to the MSDS for further information.

Page 66: Hcs3000 notes

Labels

Page 67: Hcs3000 notes

Material Safety Data Sheets

If you need to know more about a product than you can find on the label, go to the product’s MSDS.

These sheets have more detailed information about a product’s properties, its hazards, and how to prevent overexposure.

There is no specific required layout for the WHMIS MSDS, but it must include at least each of the nine categories of information and the required detailed information in each category.

Page 68: Hcs3000 notes

Material Safety Data Sheets

Page 69: Hcs3000 notes

Material Safety Data Sheets

An MSDS is supposed to be sent to an employer with every controlled product the employer buys.

MSDSs must never be more than three years old.

The MSDSs for all controlled products at a work site must be kept in a place where workers have easy access to them.

If you are a worker and don’t know where they’re kept, ask your supervisor.

Page 70: Hcs3000 notes

Worker Education The third component of the system, Worker

Education, helps workers understand WHMIS information so they can work safely with controlled products.

This education explains the WHMIS system and gives workers specific training related to the controlled products they work with at their workplace .

Employers are required to provide worker education for WHMIS.

Page 71: Hcs3000 notes

Worker Education

WHMIS worker education includes training workers to understand:

the information on WHMIS labels and MSDSs, the meaning of that information and its application to their work

identification systems that are used in place of labels at a work site

specific procedures for safe use, handling, storage and disposal of the controlled products that workers handle

Page 72: Hcs3000 notes

Worker Education procedures for dealing with fugitive emissions of

the controlled products workers may encounter procedures for emergencies involving controlled

products.

The information taught in a WHMIS worker education program is important because it helps workers protect their health and safety at work.

Types of Head Covering The most serious

injuries in the shop often result from injury to the head.

Types of head protection include:– Hard hat– Skull cap– Bump caps

Page 100: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Protection

Loss of sight due to accident can be the most tragic of losses to the senses.

Chances of injury to the eyes is great in the shop environment.

Page 101: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Protection

The danger may involve:

impact from small particles

sharp objects harmful light rays chemical spills

Page 102: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Safety

There is a difference between safety glasses and prescription glasses.

Safety glasses provide better protection from impact than prescription glasses.

Page 103: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Protection

It is important that proper eye protection be worn at all times.

The type of equipment selected must be appropriate to the situation.

Page 105: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Safety: Welding

Arc welding helmets protect the face, neck and ears from the direct radiant energy and from sparks and splatter.

Gas welding goggles must totally cover the eyes to protect the eyes from sparks, molten metal and glare.

Page 106: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Safety: Welding

Filtered lenses are used for welding.

They help filter out the intense light and ultraviolet rays.

A #10 lens is used for electric welding.

A #5 lens is used for gas welding and cutting.

Page 107: Hcs3000 notes

Face Shields Face shields protect

the face from flying particles, acids and other caustic liquids.

Face shields are used in addition to safety glasses or goggles.

Eye Care

Despite precautions, foreign material may get in your eye.

Such hazards include dust, battery acid, welding flux and solvents.

An eyewash should be used to flush the substance from the eye.

Page 110: Hcs3000 notes

Eye Care

Keep the eyewash equipment clean.

Follow the directions. Flush for at least 15

minutes. See a doctor as soon

as possible.

Page 111: Hcs3000 notes

Hand and Arm Protection

30% of work injuries happen to the fingers, hands and arms.

Most of these injuries are from cuts, splinters, burns, sprains and broken bones.

Page 112: Hcs3000 notes

Hand and Arm Protection

Most of these injuries can be prevented by following safety precautions.

Wear gloves and barrier lotion as required.

Barrier lotions help to block out some chemicals.

Page 113: Hcs3000 notes

Types of foot and leg coverings

Smashed toes and bruised shins are common shop injuries.

With proper protection many of these injuries can be prevented.

Steel toed shoes should be worn where needed.

Page 114: Hcs3000 notes

Proper Ear Protection

Prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause irreversible damage to the ears.

Plastic ear plugs may be used, but acoustical ear muff provide the best protection.

Page 115: Hcs3000 notes

Lung and Breathing Protection

The air we breathe may be hazardous to our health.

The inhalation of dangerous fumes and fibers can be prevented by proper ventilation.

When dealing with any contaminants wear an appropriate mask or respirator.

Electrical Safety

Electricity may be supplied as 120 V or 240 V.

Tools and machines are designed to operate on only one specific voltage.

Serious damage and fire can result if you use the incorrect voltage.

Page 128: Hcs3000 notes

Electrical Safety

An ungrounded electric power tool can lead to an electric shock and death if the current is high enough.

An electric power hand tool or stationary machine must be grounded.

Page 129: Hcs3000 notes

Electrical Safety

Never remove the third prong to match a two slotted outlet.

Check the insulation on cords for breaks or cracks.

Never stand on wet ground or floor while using electric tools.

Page 130: Hcs3000 notes

Air Power Safety

Compressed air is used for operating air tools, for spraying and cleaning.

Use a “safety blow” nozzle when cleaning with compressed air.

Page 131: Hcs3000 notes

Air Power Safety

A “safety blow” nozzle reduces the air pressure so it wont be more than 30 psi.

Always check for damaged hoses or connections.

portable fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers can only

put out small, contained fires, such as a fire in a wastebasket.

If you have not been trained in the proper use of portable extinguishers, do not attempt to fight a fire.

Never fight a fire

If the fire is large or spreading.

If your escape route may be blocked by the spread of fire.

If you are not trained in the correct use of the extinguisher or are unsure of the type of fire.
