Respiratory Protection

Policy/Program information: Millions of workers are required to wear respirators in various workplaces throughout the United States. Respirators protect workers against insufficient oxygen environments, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays. These hazards may cause cancer, lung impairment, diseases, or death. Compliance with the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard could avert hundreds of deaths and thousands of illnesses annually. Respirators protect the user in two basic ways. The first is by the removal of contaminants from the air. Respirators of this type include particulate respirators, which filter out airborne particles, and air-purifying respirators with cartridges/canisters which filter out chemicals and gases. Other respirators protect by supplying clean respirable air from another source. Respirators that fall into this category include airline respirators, which use compressed air from a remote source, and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which include their own air supply. This class is to ensure that company standards for respiratory protection and fit testing training meet all requirements as per federal legislation.

Spill Prevention & Response

Policy/Program information: OSHA regulates the equipment used for the prevention and containment of spills. The equipment can be divided into two categories: equipment used to respond to the spill and PPE. The equipment used to respond to a spill includes traditional and proven methods such as diking and ditching or the use of diatomaceous earth. OSHA recognizes, however, that new and more effective products, like oil solidifying polymers, can play an important role in our response efforts.

Required if: Hazardous waste spills can occur in many different work environments, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, oil fields and power plants. They are often caused by drilling or mining operations and may also result from demolition or excavation activities. Wastewater treatment plants are common spots for hazardous spills, particularly when equipment malfunctions. OSHA hazardous waste regulations also apply during storage or disposal or barrels or other containers of waste materials. Even a leak or hole in one of these containers is classified as a spill and requires immediate attention.

Waste Management

Policy/Program information: An unexpected release of hazardous substances, or a substantial threat of a hazardous substance release, can pose a significant health and safety risk to workers.Unexpected releases can be caused by operation failures and unrelated outside events (e.g., natural disasters, terrorism). Workers can encounter hazardous substances through waste dumped in the environment—a serious safety and health issue that continues to endanger life and environmental quality. Employers must adequately prepare emergency response and cleanup workers to clearly understand their role(s) in managing unexpected releases of hazardous substances, so that they can act quickly and respond in a safe manner during an emergency.

Required if: The HAZWOPER standard covers employers performing the following general categories of work operations:Hazardous waste site cleanup operations [paragraphs (b) – (o)];Operations involving hazardous waste that are conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities [paragraph (p)]; andEmergency response operations involving hazardous substance releases [paragraph (q)].The HAZWOPER standard provides employers, emergency response workers, and other workers potentially exposed to hazardous substances information and training criteria to improve workplace safety and health and reduce workplace injuries and illnesses that could occur from exposures to hazardous substances. It is critical that employers and their workers understand the scope and application of HAZWOPER, and can determine which sections apply to their specific work operations

Legislation: The HAZWOPER standard for the construction industry (29 CFR 1926.65) is identical to 29 CFR 1910.120. For brevity, the HAZWOPER standard is referenced as 29 CFR 1910.120

ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAMS

Access to Employee Medical and Exposure Records

Policy/Program information: If you are an employee who may have been exposed to toxic substances or harmful physical agents in the workplace, OSHA’s regulation may help you detect, prevent, and treat occupational disease. You have the right to access relevant exposure and medical records and to know how OSHA’s standard covers you if you are any of the following:

■ A current or former employee who is or may have been exposed to toxic substances or harmful physical agents.

■ An employee who was assigned or transferred to work involving toxic substances or harmful physical agents.

■ The legal representative of a deceased or legally incapacitated employee who was or may have been exposed to toxic substances or harmful physical agents.

Required if: You may access any employee exposure records that show the measuring or monitoring of your own exposure to a toxic substance or harmful physical agent. If your employer does not have any records that specifically chart your own exposure levels, you may access the exposure records of employees who engage in similar work or working conditions and may have experienced exposures similar to yours.

Behavior-Based Safety

Policy/Program information: The best way to prevent an incident from repeating itself is to utilize behavior-based safety (BBS), which examines the overall safety of your workplace. Its aim is to focus attention on the daily behaviors of the workers. BBS works to determine the root causes of unsafe behaviors and the best route to improve them.Behavior-based safety acknowledges that employees often work in less-than-perfect conditions and will be forced to make choices between working safely or taking unsafe shortcuts. To combat this, BBS looks at the interaction between three major variables in the workplace: the person, the work environment and the behavior.

“Person” represents the general experience and the physical capabilities of employees
“Work environment” is the controls, workplace and general company culture
“Behavior” is how employees interact with their workplace and how they act while doing their duties
Required if: BBS “focuses on what people do, analyzes why they do it, and then applies a research-supported intervention strategy to improve what people do”. At its very core BBS is based on a larger scientific field called organizational behavior management.
Legislation: Successful implementation of Behaviour Based Safety requires a top-down management approach. The company’s policy must not only reflect the importance of BBS but also the commitment of the management. BBS must be fully integrated in the carrier’s organisation and management systems. It needs to become an integral part of the company’s culture and be one of the key drivers for continuous performance improvement through the implementation of key performance indicators.

Incident Investigations

Policy/Program information: OSHA strongly encourages employers to investigate all incidents in which a worker was hurt, as well as close calls (sometimes called “near misses”), in which a worker might have been hurt if the circumstances had been slightly different. In the past, the term “accident” was often used when referring to an unplanned, unwanted event. To many, “accident” suggests an event that was random, and could not have been prevented. Since nearly all worksite fatalities, injuries, and illnesses are preventable, OSHA suggests using the term “incident” investigation.

Investigating a worksite incident- a fatality, injury, illness, or close call- provides employers and workers the opportunity to identify hazards in their operations and shortcomings in their safety and health programs. Most importantly, it enables employers and workers to identify and implement the corrective actions necessary to prevent future incidents.

Incident investigations that focus on identifying and correcting root causes, not on finding fault or blame, also improve workplace morale and increase productivity, by demonstrating an employer’s commitment to a safe and healthful workplace.

Incident investigations are often conducted by a supervisor, but to be most effective, these investigations should include managers and employees working together, since each bring different knowledge, understanding and perspectives to the investigation.

In conducting an incident investigation, the team must look beyond the immediate causes of an incident. It is far too easy, and often misleading, to conclude that carelessness or failure to follow a procedure alone was the cause of an incident. To do so fails to discover the underlying or root causes of the incident, and therefore fails to identify the systemic changes and measures needed to prevent future incidents. When a shortcoming is identified, it is important to ask why it existed and why it was not previously addressed.

Job Competency Program

Policy/Program information: OSHA believes training is essential to every employer’s safety and health program for protecting workers from injuries and illnesses. New employees have a higher rate of accidents and injuries than more experienced workers, and it is important to ensure workers are competent to perform the job they are assigned.

Required if: New employee, reviews, job transfer

Legislation: A Job Competency policy starts with a public organizational chart of minimum educational and experience requirements for company jobs, includes the documentation of proof employees are qualified to perform their job duties and job specific training for new and transferred employees and regular training on everyday tasks.

HR POLICIES

Disciplinary Program

Policy/Program information: The disciplinary system does not exist primarily to punish employees. Its purpose should be to control the work environment so that workers are protected and accidents are prevented. A disciplinary system helps ensure workplace safety and health by letting the Company’s employees know what is expected of them. It provides workers with opportunities to correct their behavior before an accident happens.

A disciplinary system is one of the keys to successfully implementing the Company’s safety and health program. It ensures that the Company’s rules and safe working practices are taken seriously by employees and are actually followed. It lets employees know how the Company expects them to operate in relation to the goals of the Company’s safety and health program. And it lays out the actions the Company will take if individuals do not meet the Company’s expectations. The employee’s supervisor and all members of management are responsible for the enforcement of this disciplinary program.

A disciplinary system cannot work in a vacuum. Before the Company can hold employees accountable for their actions, the Company first needs to establish its safety and health policy and disciplinary rules.

Required if: Employees need to know the Company’s position on safety and health and what the Company expects of them. They need a clear understanding of the rules and the consequences of breaking those rules. This is true in all areas of work, but it is especially important for worker safety and health. As part of the policy statement, and in the employee safety handbook, the Company has a written statement setting forth the Company’s disciplinary policy. Company managers and supervisors will always be on the lookout for safety violations and will conscientiously and vigorously enforce the Company’s commitment to safety.

SAFETY FORMS / PERMITS

All forms can be created electronically

Job Safety Analysis

A job hazard analysis is a technique that focuses on job tasks as a way to identify hazards before they occur. It focuses on the relationship between the worker, the task, the tools, and the work environment. Ideally, after you identify uncontrolled hazards, you will take steps to eliminate or reduce them to an acceptable risk level

Safe Work Permit

A safe work permit (also known as a “permit to work”) is a document that includes a description of the work to be performed, the hazards involved, the precautions to take, the required authorizations, and other elements. It is a written record authorizing a specific work at a specific location, and for a specific time. It’s important to note that a safe work permit does not reduce risks of incidents by itself. Rather, it specifies the hazards and the risk control measures that workers must be aware of before they start work. A safe system of work permit is an effective vehicle for communicating critical safety information.

Lockout / Tagout Permit

A Lockout/ Tagout (LOTO) Permits are a key element of LOTO programs helping to insure equipment maintenance operations are completed safely. Implementation of a safe work permit system can help reduce the risk of serious injuries or death caused by accidental operation of equipment.The permit also suggests the necessary measures to be equipped with before de-energising the equipment and ensure the safety of the person performing Lockout and Tagout task.

Confined Space Entry Permit

A The Confined Space Entry Permit is the major tool in assuring safety during entry into confined spaces with known hazards or with unknown or potentially hazardous atmospheres. The entry permit process guides the supervisor and workers through a systematic evaluation of the space to be entered. The permit should be used to establish appropriate conditions. Before each entry into a confined space, an entry permit will be completed by a qualified person and the contents communicated to all employees involved in the operation and conspicuously posted near the work location. In addition, all personnel involved with the confined space entry must be given a briefing before operations commence

Hot Work Permit

A Hot work is any work that involves burning, welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, grinding, using fire- or spark-producing tools, or other work that produces a source of ignition. Welding and cutting operations are common to drilling and servicing operations.Require hot work permits in areas where hazardous materials are stored and cannot be removed, or in areas where flammable atmospheres could exist. It is important for the employer to have a hot work program that covers hot work requirements, including permits
