SASCO Safety Orientation
Orientation Topics • Injury and Illness Reporting • Hazard Communication • Personal Protective Equipment • Hot Work: Lockout/Tagout • Fall Protection • Ladders • Equipment & Tools • Heat Illness Prevention
Hazard Communication • SASCO maintains Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals it has on site. • Ask your supervisor for location of MSDS nearest your work area. • It is your right to examine an MSDS for any chemical
Hazard Communication Labeling: • Non-original containers must be properly labeled for contents, hazards and warnings. • Temporary containers for immediate use only are not required to be labeled. Dispose of them when your task is complete.
Hot Work: Energized Equipment • By federal regulations and California Low Voltage Orders, conducting work on any energized equipment is always the last resort. • Do not work any equipment hot that can be shut down. If you must work any equipment hot, SASCO will train you regarding energized work procedures and issue the proper PPE
Energized Equipment • Do not walk away from a panel that is hot without at covering it with the panel cover or, if temporary, with a magnetic sign • Other contractors have access to electrical rooms and panels.
Lock-Out/Tag-Out • De-energize and lock-out and tag-out equipment and circuits you need to work on. • Test the equipment to make sure there is no residual energy. • Ensure the tag is properly filled out so others can tell who put on the lock, how to contact the owner of the lock, and when it was installed.
Fall Protection • Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. • An average of 362 fatal falls occurred each year from 1995 to 1999, with the trend on the increase.
Active Fall Protection Systems • Fall Restraint Systems • Personal Fall Arrest Systems • Nets
Fall Restraint Systems These are systems designed to prevent the user from reaching an area where free-fall could occur so no free-fall is possible, as in leading edge roof work.
Personal Fall Arrest Systems • ABCs: • Anchorage • Body Harness • Connectors • Deceleration (Stop!)
Anchorage • Rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t tie-off and suspend your truck from an anchor point, don’t tie yourself off to it.
Anchorage YES No No No
Anchorage: Avoid Lower Level Contact • Calculating Fall Distance • Fall distance includes: Distance from anchorage point to D-ring +Length of lanyard +Length of deceleration device +Any stretching of components +Safety Factor SO. . .
Anchorage: Avoid Lower Level • Rule of Thumb: • For fall clearance of less than 18.5’, use a self-retracting lifeline • For fall clearance over 18.5’, use either a self-retracting lifeline or a shock-absorbing lanyard. Retracting lifelife
Body Harness • D-ring in center of back • Between shoulder blades • When a worker has fallen in a harness, remove it from service for an inspection Be able to barely get two fingers stacked between straps and body
Stop! (Deceleration) • Impact on the body of deceleration: cable lanyard • And that is a short fall distance
Stop! (Deceleration) • Impact on the body of deceleration: shock-absorbing lanyard
Do not sit or stand on top two steps of ladders. Stay off of the top three steps of an extension ladder.
Keep access to top and bottom of ladder clear to avoid tripping
Do not lean step ladder. Use only when fully open. Get the right tool for the job.
Ladders • Whatever these clowns are doing, don’t do it.
Operating Equipment • To operate an Aerial Lift, a forklift, or a boom lift, you must be trained by SASCO to do so. • Your supervisor must authorize you to run any piece of company equipment.
Operating Equipment Maintain Dual 360° Awareness. Look at everything around you on the ground. Look at everything above you. 360°
Powder-Actuated Tools • SASCO will train you to safely use the powder-actuated tool you will use
Never Leave A Loaded Hilti Gun Unattended • Unload the load strip and stow gun in case or gang box before leaving area
Heat Illness Prevention • SASCO provides shade and water to employees • You are encouraged to drink water frequently. By Time You’re Thirsty, It’s Already Too Late!
Fluid Intake • Drink Fluids • Water–4 Cups (1 Quart/Hour) • Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics and will dehydrate you • Eat • Replace Electrolytes Lost by Perspiration
Fire Protection • Do not use water on electrical fires • Use a “BC or “ABC” extinguisher • Good house-keeping helps prevent fires
