Fall Protection: 

Fall Protection

Falls Cause Serious Injuries: 

Falls Cause Serious Injuries If you fall from a height of more than 4 feet you can be seriously hurt (OSHA1910.23) If you trip at ground level, you can get: A head injury, or Fractures The result is painful rehabilitation and a loss of income Others have to do your work…

Three Keys To Working Safely: 

Three Keys To Working Safely Use your fall protection equipment, every time Stay away from the edge Wear a hard hat Uniforms are PPE in AVN

Staying Safe Up High:: 

Staying Safe Up High: Platforms or stairs get you up there safely Guardrails keep you safe once you are up high Edges on the guardrail keep tools and other objects from falling

Ramps, Bridges and Hand Rails: 

Ramps, Bridges and Hand Rails Ramps give you a safe way to get to work areas Bridges connect work areas or ramps Hand rails keep you from falling over the edge

Warnings and Safety Nets: 

Warnings and Safety Nets Warning lines caution you about the approaching danger of an unprotected edge Safety nets, if available, are there to: Catch you if you fall Protect you from impact

It Hurts When You Land!!:

Hazard Communication: 

Hazard Communication Graphic

You Have a Right to Know: 

You Have a Right to Know What hazardous chemicals you work with Their hazards and risks How to protect yourself from them

Chemicals Are Everywhere: 

Chemicals Are Everywhere Examples: Cleaning solvents Lubricants Fuels Pressurized containers

Physical Hazards You May Face: 

Physical Hazards You May Face Flammable liquids or solids Combustible liquids Compressed gases Explosive materials Unstable materials Water reactive materials

Health Hazards You May Face: 

Health Hazards You May Face Acute Short-term effects Symptoms appear just after exposure High concentration Corrosives, irritants Rashes, burns, respiratory irritation, poisoning Chronic Long-term effects Symptoms appear long after exposure Low concentration Neurotoxins, carcinogens Cancer, lung or liver damage, allergies

Ways Chemicals Enter the Body: 

Ways Chemicals Enter the Body Inhalation: Breathed through mouth or nose Absorption: Touches skin or is injected Ingestion: Swallowed Ocular Entry: Through the eyes

Hazard Communication Program: 

Hazard Communication Program Written plan for our facility Labels Material Safety Data Sheets Training PPE, work practices and safe handling Recognition Emergency response

Labels: 

Labels Check labels prior to use for: Identity of chemical Name and address of manufacturer Appropriate hazard warnings All containers must be labeled Regard unlabeled containers as dangerous Do not remove labels

Labeling and Marking Systems: 

Labeling and Marking Systems NFPA Diamonds Blue = health hazard Red = flammability Yellow = reactivity White = special hazard info. Numbered 0-4 (from lowest to highest hazard)

Material Safety Data Sheets: 

Material Safety Data Sheets Detailed information sheet prepared by manufacturer or importer Available for every hazardous chemical or substance Contains information that: Enables you to prepare for safe day-to-day use Enables you to respond in emergencies

Information Provided on MSDS: 

Information Provided on MSDS Chemical name Company information Hazardous ingredients Physical characteristics Fire and explosion data Health hazard data Reactivity data Special Precautions Safe handling practices PPE What to do in case of spills or leaks

Personal Protective Equipment: 

Personal Protective Equipment Requirements found on labels or MSDS Goggles, face shields, glasses Gloves Respirators & dust masks Head protection Foot protection Aprons or full body suits

General Work Practices: 

General Work Practices Use hazardous chemicals only as directed Prior to using hazardous chemicals Inspect equipment for damage prior to use Ensure adequate ventilation When using Don’t smoke, eat, drink or apply cosmetics Never smell, inhale or taste Keep off of hands, face, clothing and shoes After use Wash hands and face thoroughly with soap and water

Know Safe Handling Procedures: 

Know Safe Handling Procedures Refer to label & MSDS for info on: Flammability Incompatibility Stability Shock sensitivity

Hazard Recognition: 

Hazard Recognition Know likely emergencies ahead of time Refer to labels or MSDS Emergency incidents: Spills Leaks Fires Explosions

If Exposure Occurs: 

If Exposure Occurs If you are exposed: Inhalation - move to fresh air Eyes - flush with water for 15 min. Skin - wash with soap & water Swallowing - seek immediate medical help If a co-worker is exposed: Identify hazardous chemicals in use Refer to labels and MSDS for specifics

Hazard Communication Plan: 

Hazard Communication Plan Designated HazCom Coordinator Location of MSDS’s

Summary: 

Summary You have a right to know Chemicals present both physical and health hazards Read the labels and MSDS Follow PPE and special handling recommendations Emergency response Notify supervisor Know immediate first-aid response if contact with a hazardous chemical occurs
