Types of Injuries: Types of Injuries Workers can be injured by falling objects, improperly stacked materials, or by various types of equipment. When manually moving materials, however, workers should be aware of potential injuries, including the following: Strains and sprains from improperly lifting loads, or from carrying loads that are either too large or too heavy. Fractures and bruises caused by being struck by materials, or by being caught in pinch points; and Cuts and bruises caused by falling materials that have been improperly stored, or by incorrectly cutting ties or other securing devices. METHODS OF PREVENTION: METHODS OF PREVENTION General safety principles can help reduce workplace accidents. These include work practices, ergonomic principles, and training and education. Whether moving materials manually or mechanically, employees should be aware of the potential hazards associated with the task at hand and know how to exercise control over their workplaces to minimize the danger. MOVING AND HANDLING MATERIALS : MOVING AND HANDLING MATERIALS Seek help when load is bulky. Place blocks under raised loads Handles and holders on loads to reduce injuries to fingers. Wear gloves where appropriate. Wear steel-toed safety shoes.Mechanically moving materials: Mechanically moving materials Don’t overload equipment. Center load on forklifts Stacked loads should be correctly piles and cross-tiered.Storing Materials: Storing Materials Stored materials must not create a hazard. Storage areas must be kept free from accumulated materials that may cause tripping, fires, or explosions, or that may contribute to the harboring of rats and other pests. When stacking and piling materials, it is important to be aware of such factors as the: materials' height and weight, how accessible the stored materials are to the user, and the condition of the containers where the materials are being stored. Conveyors: Conveyors When using conveyors, workers' hands may be caught in nip points where the conveyor runs over support members or rollers; Workers may be struck by material falling off the conveyor; or They may become caught on or in the conveyor, thereby being drawn into the conveyor path. Cranes: Cranes Only thoroughly trained and competent persons are permitted to operate cranes. Operators should know what they are lifting and what it weighs. The rated capacity of mobile cranes varies with the length of the boom and the boom radius. When a crane has a telescoping boom, a load may be safe to lift at a short boom length and/or a short boom radius, but may overload the crane when the boom is extended and the radius increases. Obey the 10’ rule when operating around overhead power lines or isolate, insulate, guard or de-energize.Concrete Pump Trucks: Concrete Pump Trucks The worksite should be organized so that full deployment of the outriggers is allowed. If this is not possible then a limit of the swing in the direction of the shortened outrigger and a spotter should be assigned. The operator and the spotter should understand the hand signals presented in unit 8. The spotter must also be aware of boom bounce when you are extended out and pumping a harsh mix.Slings: Slings Ensure that they are visually inspected before use and during operation. Riggers or other knowledgeable employees should conduct or assist in the inspection. A damaged or defective sling must be removed from service. Slings must not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices. Slings must not be loaded beyond their rated capacity, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Suspended loads must be kept clear of all obstructions. Employees also must remain clear of loads about to be lifted and suspended. Powered Industrial Trucks: Powered Industrial Trucks Workers who must handle and store materials often use fork trucks, platform lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, and other specialized industrial trucks powered by electrical motors or internal combustion engines. Affected workers, therefore, should be aware of the safety requirements pertaining to fire protection, and the design, maintenance, and use of these trucks. Training Requirements: Training Requirements The primary responsibility of the operator is to use the powered Industrial truck safely. Unsafe or improper operation can result in : death or serious injury to the operator or others; damage to the fork truck or other property. The training program shall emphasize safe and proper operation to avoid injury to the operator or others and prevent property damage and shall cover the following areas:The Training Program: The Training Program Fundamentals of the powered industrial truck(s) the trainee will be operating. Operating environment and its effect on truck operations. Operation of the powered industrial truck. Operating safety rules and practices. Operational training practice. Testing, retaining and enforcement.Safety Precautions using forklifts: Safety Precautions using forklifts Safety precautions the user can observe when operating or maintaining powered industrial trucks include: 1. That high lift rider trucks be fitted with an overhead guard, unless operating conditions do not permit. 2. That fork trucks be equipped with a vertical load backrest extension according to manufacturers' specifications, if the load presents a hazard. 3. That battery-charging installations be located in areas designated for that purpose. Safety Precautions: Safety Precautions 4. That facilities be provided for flushing and neutralizing spilled electrolytes when changing or recharging a battery to prevent fires, to protect the charging apparatus from being damaged by the trucks, and to adequately ventilate fumes in the charging area from gassing batteries. 5. That conveyor, overhead hoist, or equivalent materials handling equipment be provided for handling batteries. 6. That auxiliary directional lighting be provided on the truck where general lighting is less than 2 lumens per square foot. Safety Precautions: Safety Precautions 7. That arms and legs not be placed between the uprights of the mast or outside the running lines of the truck. 8. That brakes be set and wheel blocks or other adequate protection be in place to prevent movement of trucks, trailers, or railroad cars when using trucks to load or unload materials onto train boxcars. 9. That sufficient headroom be provided under overhead installations, lights, pipes, and sprinkler systems. Safety Precautions: Safety Precautions 10. That personnel on the loading platform have the means to shut off power to the truck. 11. That dock-boards or bridge-plates be properly secured, so they won't move when equipment moves over them. 12. That only stable or safely arranged loads be handled, and caution be exercised when handling loads. Safety Precautions: Safety Precautions 13. That trucks whose electrical systems are in need of repair have the battery disconnected prior to such repairs. 14. That replacement parts of any industrial truck be equivalent in safety to the original ones. Ergonomic: Ergonomic Ergonomics is defined as the study of work and is based on the principle that the job should be adapted to fit the person, rather than forcing the person to fit the job. Ergonomics focuses on the work environment and items such as Design and function of workstations, controls, displays, safety devices, tools, and lighting to fit the employees' physical requirements and to ensure their health and well being. Fire Safety Precautions: Fire Safety Precautions Employees should note that flammable and combustible materials must be stored according to their fire characteristics. Flammable liquids, for example, must be separated from other material by a fire-wall. Also, other combustibles must be stored in an area where smoking and using an open flame or a spark-producing device is prohibited. Dissimilar materials that are dangerous when they come into contact with each other must be stored apart. Aisles and passageways: Aisles and passageways When using aisles and passageways to move materials mechanically, sufficient clearance must be allowed for aisles at loading docks, through doorways, wherever turns must be made, and in other parts of the workplace. Providing sufficient clearance for mechanically moved materials will prevent workers from being pinned between the equipment and fixtures in the workplace, such as walls, racks, posts, or other machines. Sufficient clearance also will prevent the load from striking an obstruction and falling on an employee. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
