CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program

The purpose of this module is to provide information to fully understand the issues relating to OSHA Safety and Health Program.

You will Identify; Four elements to establish a Safety and Health Program

Management commitment and employee involvement

Worksite analysis

Hazard prevention and control

Safety and health training Benefits of Effective Safety and Health Program Reduce work related injuries and illnesses

Improve morale and productivity

Reduce workers’ compensation costs

An effective occupational safety and health program includes the following four elements:

Management commitment and employee involvement

Worksite analysis Hazard prevention and control Safety and health training


These are complementary elements

Management commitment provides motivation and resources

Employee involvement allows workers to develop and express commitment to safety and health


Clearly state a worksite safety and health policy

Establish and communicate a clear goal and objective for the safety and health program

Involve top management in implementing the program


Encourage employees to get involved in the program and in decisions that affect their safety and health

Communicate responsibility for all program aspects


Parties responsible for the safety and health program must have authority and resources

Managers, supervisors, and employees must be held

accountable for meeting their responsibilities

Program operations must be reviewed at least annually, to evaluate, identify deficiencies, and revise, as needed


Examine the worksite and identify:

existing hazards

conditions and operations where changes might occur to create hazards

Management must actively analyze the work and the worksite to anticipate and prevent harmful occurrences


Conduct a comprehensive baseline survey for safety and health

Job Hazard Analysis

Who may help you:

OSHA Consultation Program

Insurance companies

Consultants


Conduct regular (usually weekly) site inspections Establish daily work area inspection procedures

Develop and use a checklist

Provide a reliable system for employees, without fear of reprisal, to notify management about apparent hazardous conditions and to receive timely and appropriate responses


Investigate accidents and “near miss” incidents, so that their causes and means for prevention are identified

Analyze injury and illness trends, so that common cause patterns can be identified and prevented


Start by determining that a hazard or potential hazard exists\

Where feasible, prevent hazards by effective design of job or job site

If the hazard cannot be eliminated, use hazard controls

Eliminate or control hazards in a timely manner


Engineering controls

Administrative controls

Personal protective equipment

Safe work practices communicated

via training, positive reinforcement,

correction of unsafe performance,

and enforcement


To prevent and control hazards:

Maintain the facility and equipment

Emergency planning

Training and drills, as needed

Medical program

First aid on site

Physician and emergency care nearby


Address the safety and health responsibilities of all personnel

Incorporate it into other training and job performance/practice


Employees must understand the hazards they may be exposed to and how to prevent harm to themselves and others from hazard exposure

Orientation training must be given to site and contract workers


Analyze work to identify potential hazards in area of responsibility

Maintain physical protections in work areas

Reinforce employee training through performance feedback and, if needed, enforcement of safe work practices



Hazard recognition

Training required in standards

Emergency response

Accident investigation

Emergency drills

Reduce work related injuries and illnesses

Improve morale and productivity

Reduce workers’ compensation costs

It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance-based training in this presentation, the intent is more to address hazard awareness in the construction industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards present in many construction workplaces.

It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations contained herein constitute a thorough review of the applicable standards, nor should discussion of “issues” or “concerns” be construed as a prioritization of hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (“best practices”) have been expressed, it is important to remember that safety issues in general and construction jobsites specifically will require a great deal of site - or hazard-specificity - a “one size fits all” approach is not recommended, nor will it likely be very effective.

It is assumed that individuals using this presentation, or content, to augment their training programs will be “qualified” to do so, and that said presenters will be otherwise prepared to answer questions, solve problems, and discuss issues with their audiences.

No representation is made as to the thoroughness of the presentation, nor to the exact methods of recommendation to be taken. It is understood that site conditions vary constantly, and that the developers of this content cannot be held responsible for safety problems they did not address or could not anticipate, nor those which have been discussed herein or during physical presentation. It is the responsibility of each employer contractor and their employees to comply with all pertinent rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which they work. Copies of all OSHA regulations are available form your local OSHA office. This presentation is intended to discuss Federal Regulations only – your individual State requirements may be more stringent.

As a presenter, you should be prepared to discuss all of the potential issues/concerns, or problems inherent in those photos particularly.
