  2. AGENDA • Welcome, Introductions, find your seat • Housekeeping • Accident Prevention Plan (APP)(APP Manual Introduction) • Accident Prevention Plan (training PP) • Break • WRITTEN Accident Prevention Plan (APP) • Working Lunch (brought in) • Continue working on WRITTEN APP • Hazard Communication/Lock-out Tag-Out Trainings • Break • Ladder Safety Training • Q & A/Survey

  3. Overview • North Central Washington Workers’ Compensation Trust NCWWCT, administered by NCESD, provides industrial injury accident insurance coverage (Workers’ Compensation) and loss control services for its member districts. As a loss control service, we are providing training to assist our member districts in their compliance with DOSH regulations.

  4. Goals of this training • Inform school districts of the specifics of DOSH safety requirements as they apply to schools. • Provide sample written plans and assistance in making them school district specific.

  5. What Will Be Covered • Why have an accident prevention program • Legal requirements for accident prevention program • Elements of a written program • Where to get help

  6. What is an APP? • A plan of action to: • Involve workers and management in workplace safety and health • Identify and control safety hazards • Handle emergencies • Give new employees job safety orientation • Provide for personal protective equipment as needed

  7. Core Elements of an APP • Management Responsibilities • Employee Responsibilities • Safety Committee • Safety Bulletin Board • Reporting Hazards • Reporting Injury/Illness • Accident Investigation • Hazard Identification and Control • Employee Safety Orientation and Training

  8. Accident Prevention Program (APP) WAC 296-800 PURPOSE To assist you in developing and implementing a written Accident Prevention Program which is tailored to the needs and potential hazards associated at your school district.

  9. Safety Policy *Management safety statements are not required, but are recommended. *Management support is vital for success of the program, so supervisors and employees will take it seriously. A message from the Superintendent Sample statements: “We care about your safety…” “We will provide a safe workplace…” “Employees are expected to work safely and communicate safety issues…”

  10. Why have an Accident Prevention Program (APP)? ● It can help to prevent employee injuries on the job. ● It can create a system to help you find hazards before they cause accidents.

  11. APPManagement Responsibilities • Develop written Accident Prevention Plan and Safety and Health Policy • Support injury and illness prevention efforts • Conduct safety audits and correct deficiencies • Investigate all incidents • Provide effective training • Enforce safety rules and procedures • Maintain compliance with DOSH requirements • Encourage employee involvement

  12. Why have an Accident Prevention Program (APP)? WAC 296-800-140It’s required by DOSH Rules. Safety & Health Core RulesWAC 296-800-14005“Develop a formal, written accident prevention program.” DOSH

  13. A written APP must: WAC 296-800-14005 • Be tailored to the worksite • Cover all the regular and predictable hazards of the worksite • Must include the work of all employees • Include employee input to identify new hazards not in outline

  14. What is required for all employers? WAC 296-800-14020 You must develop, supervise and enforce a safety training program. – YOU are responsible to provide ALL necessary training whether DOSH/WISHA has specifically legislated it or not. For example…if someone hurts themselves with a chainsaw, they will be asked if he/she has been trained on how to use the tool safety. If not, DOSH will issue a citation. **If you feel training is not needed, DOSH will enforce the lack of a specific training requirement with WAC 296-800-11005 and 11010. (Summary Requirements Section, Page 1) WAC 296-800-14025 You must make sure your APP is effective in practice.
