Agenda Introduction 5 min Hazcom 15 min Hazardous Energies 15 min First Line Break 10 min Fire Awareness 5 min Summary 5 min
Pointers For Introduction • Injury Free - not statistical • Experienced work force on site • ???? man-hours to date • Just refresher course - will lead to more specific courses as • schedule progresses • Lack of Belief still largest Problem -
PYRAMID OF FACTS Fatality 1 10 Lost Time Accident 100 Minor Injury Accident 500 Non Injury Accident/First Aid Unsafe Acts/Conditions ?
HAZCOM • Material Safety Data Sheet • Container labelling • Solvent and corrosives • Disposal • Hot work • Spills - CIRT • Emergency Procedures
MSDS • All substances coming on site must have a MSDS • MSDS goes Safety Dept. • Must be in 16-part, EC format • Show overhead of MSDS • Post at area of work
Container Labelling • All containers must be labelled • Label must show content and associated hazards • Secondary containers must be labelled as per • original • Container must be suitable for proposed contents • (i.e. spark arrestor on metal petrol cans)
Chemicals / SubstancesHazards - Risk Assessment • Any substance with a hazard warning label has potential to cause harm - assess risk before using it • Management must carry out a risk assessment to find out whether • exposure to a substance can be eliminated • alternative work methods can reduce exposure • a less hazardous substance can be used
Chemical Hazards • Examples of hazardous substance on construction sites • Solvents, cement, resins, paints • All flammable materials must be reported to Area Owner prior to entering building • How you could be affected by a hazardous substance • Ingestion - eating contaminated foods • Inhalation - breathing harmful dust or fumes • Absorption - chemicals entering through cuts
Control Measures • When using hazardous substances, wear correct PPE • Know how to look after and use PPE correctly • Know where washing and first aid facilities are on site • Ensure hazardous substances are put back into a secure location after use and not left out on site • Don’t store hazardous substance above head height
Use of Substances • Make sure you are trained to use hazardous substances • Read and comply with information on the MSDS forms • MSDS must be reported in area of use • Don’t eat, drink, or smoke when handling substances • Don’t expose workers to fumes, dust, or gases • Always wash at the end of each shift and before eating
Disposal • Disposal must be in accordance with MSDS • All waste disposal via ????? • Waste must be in identifiable bags • (i.e. corrosive solvents) • Minimum requirements - double bag - may • need strong chemical bins
Spills • Do not touch substance • Call ERT • Barrier area • Advise fellow workers • Special PPE required for different chemicals
Emergency Procedures • Shower - minimum 15 minutes • Call ERT
What is hazardous energy? Purpose for controlling hazardous energies 5 types of hazardous energies Types and associated risks Procedure for controlling hazardous energies requirements for hazardous energy equipment who performs the lockout - tagout how is the lockout tagout device removed effect of control of hazardous energy equipment Contents
Situations that require lockout tagout of hazardous energies Tagout only requirements Lockout - tagout requirements Special circumstances Summary Contents
Hazardous energy is the energy stored that if released may cause a serious accident or physical damage What Is Hazardous Energy?
Electrical • electrical shock • burns • fire / explosion • secondary injuries • Chemical • chemical splash • inhalation • burns • dermatitis • cancer • Kinetic • crushing of body parts • amputation • entanglement Types of Hazardous Energies
Types of Hazardous Energies(continued) • Pressure • punctures • secondary injuries • bends - air blockage in the bloodstream • physical hazards - • flying particles • Thermal Radiation • burns hot/cold • fire • eye injuries • skin cancer Control all potentially hazardous situations by using a lockout - tagout system
Lockout The placement of a lockout device on an energy isolation device. This ensures that the energy isolating device and the systems it controls cannot be accidentally operated Tagout The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolation device to indicate that the isolation device and the system being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed Lockout - Tagout
Any equipment able to store hazardous energy must have lockout and tagout capability Only trained and authorised persons can perform lockout - tagout (Supervisors and Project Coordinators) A lockout - tagout device cannot be removed on behalf of another person, unless an approved transfer procedure has taken place General Requirements
When servicing, maintaining or repairing mechanical equipment where parts could create a safety hazard When working on pipelines that carry hazardous chemicals (e.g. high pressure, toxic, corrosive, etc.) On electrical circuits and systems where a high risk of electrical shock exists Where other hazardous energies exists that may cause injury if intentionally released during service or maintenance Situations Requiring The Use Of Lockout - Tagout
Tagout alone is permitted only in circumstances where a lockout device cannot be used Seek approval from your supervisor before commencing any work on equipment that cannot be locked out Authorised persons only may remove tag Tagout
A tag may only be removed by the authorized person who attached it A tag must never be bypassed, ignored or defeated A tag must be able to withstand the environmental conditions A tag must be securely attached so it is not inadvertently defeated A tag must only be transferred when ownership has to be changed for a task The new authorised person must affix his tag with all relevant details and ensure the work permit shows the same details Tagout Requirements
Always follow the site lockout and tagout rules to control hazardous energies Use only approved locks and tags A lock or tag may only be removed by the authorised person who applied it Always use a multiple lockout clasp in case others need to lockout Lockout - Tagout Requirements
Only one key to one lock Where a machine or its supporting equipment are to be worked on all relevant permits must be used Where piped systems or exhaust ducting is to be worked on, then the system Owner must sign off the respective permits Lockout - Tagout Requirements(continued)
Abandoned locks Change of shift Multiple workers Special Circumstances
Permit Issued By AuthorizedPerson ????
Lockout - Tagout Procedure Must Be In Place Before Any Line Break Starts.
On discovery of a fire, call ERT If trained to do so, tackle fire with extinguisher Alert fellow worker Fire Awareness
If fire cannot be extinguished after using 2 extinguishers, evacuate Know your Company assembly point Never re-enter the building/area for personal property Fire Awareness - Cont.
Your company Supervisor will conduct head count at assembly point Supervisor will notify ERT of any missing persons ERT only will instruct when it’s safe to return to work Stay off Channel ?? when emergency is in progress Fire Awareness - Cont.
Fire Extinguishers • Water - (red label) use on paper, wood, and solid flammable • CO2 - (black label) use on liquids, gases and electrical fires • Foam - (cream label) use on flammable liquids • Powder - (blue label) use on all types of fire but primarily fires involving metals, such as aluminum and magnesium • Multi-purpose powder - (no label) use for as for water, CO2, foam, extinguisher
