OSH TRAINING
SAFETY EDUCATION
We become educated in safety in many ways including :
personal experience
Formal classroom training
On the job training
Effective safety education must tell learners why it is important to use safe procedures and practices
Natural consequences
Natural consequences are those that naturally occur as a result of what an employee or organization does
System consequences
System consequences are those actions taken by another person in response to an employee’s choice and behaviours
Technical safety training
“How to “safety training is actually the most common type of safety education
General safety instruction
Is usually conducted using the lecture or discussion method
Purpose of training program
To provide training professionals for effective safety education

SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Top management commitment
You should know the benefits of your commitment towards safety
You must develop programs , policies , plans and procedures
Do commitment to safety because it saves lives , money and you stay out of trouble
Safety leadership increases company’s potential
Coercive ,controlling and caring are the three leadership models out of which caring model is the real commitment approach
You must have a vision and mission statement
There are two safety strategies: reactive and pro active
In reactive strategy you react after the accident has happened
In pro active strategy you make sure that no accident should occur in workplace
Labor and management accountability
Employees should believe that they are going to be held accountable for their decisions and actions
Six elements of effective accountability system :
1.formal standard of performance
2.adequate resources and psychosocial support
3.a system of performance measurement
4.application of effective consequences
5.appropriate application of consequences
6.continous evaluation of accountability system
Points to remember:
The more Regularly you Recognize and Reward , the more Rarely you will have to Reprimand
Training , resources , enforcement , supervision and leadership are 5 obligations of safety
Employee involvement
Employee is held accountable by the employer for complying with the safety rules , reporting workplace injuries immediately and reporting hazards
Rewards are great but , recognition is better
Effective communications
It’s a responsibility to communicate effectively
It’s not what you say …it’s about how you say it
Hazard identification and control
Hazard is state of being leading to illness or injury of a person
What can control hazards :
1. Eliminate and substitute hazards
2.Engineering controls
3.administrative controls
4.personal protective equipment
Material , people , environment ,system , equipment may be hazardous
Do a walk around inspection to see hazards
Employee may use his own procedure if not directly supervised
Unsafe behaviors lead to 95% cause of accidents
Incident and accident investigation
Don’t go for blame but fix the system
You cant afford to relax or be content in safety
Incident causes property damage and accident causes life damage too
You must know the plan and how to work the plan
If accident occurs you must know :
1. background information 2.surface causes and root causes
You have to make a report of accident in which you write about findings , recommendations and summary
Safety education and training
Be trained
We educate to show why
We train to show how
A simple seven step on the job training includes:
1.introduction 2.trainer shows and tells 3. learner tells –trainer shows 4 . Learner shows and tells 5 . Conclusion 6.documentation 7. validate
Total quality safety management
Quality and safety are partners in productivity
TQM means to improve performance and process by using coorporate resources
DEMING says about total quality safety management that have a purpose for improvement , adopt a new philosophy , cease dependence on mass inspection , don’t go for price tag- go for reducing total cost , improve constantly , give training on job , drive out fear , break down barriers between departments , don’t pressurize workforce , give self improvement education and act for transformation
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
THE REQUIREMENT FOR PPE
To ensure the greatest possible protection for employees in workplace
EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY
To wear and maintain PPE
FACE AND EYE PROTECTION
HEAD PROTECTION
FOOT PROTECTION
HAND PROTECTION
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
SHIELDS
BARRIERS
RESTRAINTS
WHEN AND WHERE PPE IS REQUIRED?
Whenever following conditions are encountered :

Chemical hazards
Radiological hazards
Mechanical hazards
WHAT SHOULD NOT BE WORN?
The PPE rules requires that rings , wristwatches , earnings , bracelets and other jewelery must not be worn if it’s possible for it to come into contact with power driven machinery or electric circuitry
HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CONTROL
BASIC EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITY
The employer should see that workers are properly instructed and supervised in the safe operation of any machinery tools , equipment , process or practice which they are authorized to use or apply
BASIC EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITY
All employees should conduct their work in compliance with their employer’s safety policies and rules. Employees should report all injuries immediately to the person in charge or other responsible representative of the employer .employees should make full use of safeguards provided for their protection
SAFETY INSPECTIONS

Approach the investigation with an open mind
Go to the scene
Express concern regarding the accident and desire to prevent a similar occurrence
Tell the interviewee that the information they give is important
Be friendly , understanding and open minded
Be calm and unhurried
Single event theory
An accident is thought to be the result of a single , one time easily identifiable , unusual , unexpected occurrence that result in injury or illness
The domino theory
This describes as a series of related occurences which lead to a final event that results in injury or illness
Multiple cause theory
Accidents are a result of a series of random related and / or unrelated actions that somehow interact to cause the accident
Four categories of events
Actual events
Assumed events
Non events
Simultaneous events
Developing the sequence of events
Once the sequence of events is developed we will study each event to know:
Hazardous condition

MANAGEMENT TRAINING RESPONSIBLITY
All managers should be trained and make sure employees are also trained to understand their FFP responsibility.
OSH RECORD KEEPING
The record keeping and reporting rule requires employers to record and report work –related fatalities , injuries and illnesses . It’s important to record or report a work related injury , illness or fatality
An injury or illness meets the general recording criteria and is recordable , if it results in any one of following six conditions :
Death
Days away from work
Restricted work or job transfer
Medical treatment beyond first aid
Loss of consciousness
A significant injury or illness diagnosed by a physician or other licensed health care professional
OSHA 300 form is the log of work related injuries and illnesses
OSHA 300 –A is the summary of work related injuries and illnesses
OSHA FORM 301 or equipment is the worker’s and employer’s report of occupational injury or disease
You must involve your employees and their representatives in the record keeping system
TOTAL NO. OF INJURIES AND ILLNESSES / NO. OF HOURS WORKED BY ALL EMPLOYEES * 200 , 000 = TOTAL RECORDABLE CASE RATE
HAZARD COMMUNICATION
The hazard communication rule applies to any chemical which is known to be present in the workplace in such a manner that employees may be exposed under normal conditions of use or in a foreseeable emergency
Responsibility
Chemical manufacturers and importers must evaluate chemicals produced in their workplaces or imported by them to determine if they are hazardous
Employers must assess the hazards of chemicals and develop a written hazard communication plan along with training and information
Material safety data sheet
Chemical manufacturers and importers must obtain and develop a material safety data sheet for each hazardous chemical they produce or import and must develop appropriate labels that provide hazard warning information
Employee training

Reference the chemical test or hazards
Use material data safety sheets
Use protective practices including PPE
Recognize a release of chemicals
Detect over exposure to chemicals
Write secondary container labels
Hazard communication plan
Employers must develop, implement and maintain a written hazard communication plan that contains a list of hazardous chemicals
being used in the workplace, assign responsibilities and describes procedures for:
Labeling containers
Maintaining and using material safety data sheets
Information and training
Pipe labeling
Non routine tsk procedures
Contractor procedures
Hazardous substance
Is any chemical which poses a physical or a health hazard?
Physical hazards
Are chemical reactions that could result in a fire, explosion and/ or toxic gas release which cause physical trauma if chemicals are handled or stored improperly?
Health hazards
Is health effects caused directly by the chemicals themselves, not an injury resulting from a reaction
Dusts, fumes. Fibres . Mists . Vapors , gases , solids , liquids
Chemical effects
On various organs of the human body depend on several important factors : solid , liquid or gas ?
Ingested , inhaled , absorbed or injected ?
How much chemical makes it’s ways into the body?
How poisonous is the chemical?
Routes of entry
Routes of entry of chemicals may take must be known when assessing the workplace for chemical hazards.
Alternative labeling methods
HMIS ( hazardous material information system)
NFPA (national fire protection association )
Material safety data sheet
Used to communicate chemical hazard information from the manufacturer to the employee to train and inform on safe use of hazardous chemicals
Employers must obtain a MSDS from the chemical manufacturer or import as soon as possible
Employers must maintain in the workplace copies of required material safety data sheets
Employee must know
The hazard communication program
The measures to protect themselves
Detect the release or presence of hazardous chemical
Physical and health hazards
When new hazardous chemical is used in organization
HAZWOPER
Hazardous waste operations and emergency response covers response to uncontrollable releases
CONDUCTING A JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS :
It focuses on the relationship between the worker , task tools and environment .after you identify uncontrolled hazards , you will take steps to eliminate or reduce them to an acceptable risk level . You can prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.
IMPROVE YOUR EMPOYEES
Get together with your employees and talk about the actual and potential hazards and unsafe behaviors they believe might exist in their current work and surroundings .Discuss the possible accident that might result from the hazards and behaviors . Next come up with ideas to eliminate or control those hazards and behaviors.
LOOK FOR HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AND UNSAFE BEHAVIOURS
Material safety data sheets
Experienced workers
Accident and incident reports
First aid statistical record
Behavior based safety reports
Safety committee meeting minutes
Safety inspection reports
Previous JHAs
Existing work procedures
Equipment manuals
Preventive /corrective maintenance records
HIGH RISK BEHAVIOURS
Working at evaluation , no matter what job is
Lifting , lowering , pushing , pulling and other manual handling operations
Other working above or below the work area
Use of bridge cranes man lifts , or other heavy equipment
Working on or near energized equipment /components
Working alone or in isolated workplaces
Operating vehicles
Working within a confined space or under temp extremes
RISK ANALYSIS
Risk = probability*severity
JHA FORMAT
JHA includes three columns:
Basic job step
Hazard present
Preventive measures
GOALS WHILE CONDUCTING A JHA
What can go wrong
What are the consequences ?
How could the hazard arise ?
What are the other contributing factors ?
How likely is that hazard will occur ?
TIPS
Write safe job procedure
Hire professionals to conduct JHA
Improve the JHA process by taking a team approach
RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEEMNT
SAFETY MANUAL
HOW TO ASSESS THE RISK
The risk score is determined by multiplying the consequence and likelihood scores you have recorded for each hazard
To assess the risk associated with hazards you have identified, ask the following questions:
How likely is the hazard to cause harm to someone?
What is the worst possible damage the hazard could cause in terms of human suffering and cost if you don't resolve the problem?
How many people are exposed to the risk? Sometimes it may be the amount of time workers spend on an activity that creates the safety risk, rather than the nature of the work task itself. Everyone is different. A hazard may also pose more risk to some people more than others because of differences in physical strength, experience, training etc.
