The Role of OSHA OSHA Requirements o The OSH Act assigns to OSHA two principal functions: Setting standards Conducting workplace inspections Federal OSHA Standards o Standards fall into four major categories: General industry (29 CFR 1910) Construction (29 CFR 1926) Maritime - shipyards, marine terminals, longshoring (29 CFR ) Agriculture (29 CFR 1928)

#5 - Ladders

Ladders Falls from heights are a safety problem in the industry and in homes. At least three hundred people a year die in simple falls from ladders. Ladders account for about 100 thousand injuries each year.

Ladder Safety An employer's duty is to provide fall protection. Ladder use should be understood in this broader context. Remember that elevated falls account for one third of industrial accidents, and half of fatal construction accidents. 8 percent of all occupational fatalities are due to falls from ladders.

General Ladder Rules When do you need a ladder? What makes a ladder safe?

Some Ladder Safety Tips Avoid Electrical hazards by: – Looking for overhead power lines before handling a ladder. – Avoiding using a metal ladder near power lines or exposed energized electrical equipment. Always inspect the ladder prior to using it. If the ladder is damaged, it must be removed from service. Do not use the top step/rung of a ladder as a step.

Ladder Safety Tips (cont.) Always maintain a 3-point (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand) contact on the ladder when climbing. Always face the ladder while climbing. An extension or straight ladder used to access an elevated surface must extend at least 3 feet above the point of support. Do not exceed the maximum load rating of a ladder.

#4 - Respiratory Protection

Respirators Select the correct respirator for the activity. Consult Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for respirator requirements.

Respiratory Protection Citations Failure to establish a written program. Failure to provide a medical evaluation to determine the employees ability to use a respirator. Failure to ensure an employee using a tight-fitting face piece respirator is fit tested prior to initial use of the respirator, whenever a different respirator face piece (size, style, model or make) is used, and at least annually thereafter. Failure to identify and evaluate the respiratory hazards in the workplace (Hazard Communication). Failure to ensure employees using a tight-fitting respirator pass an appropriate qualitative or quantitative fit test.

#3 - Hazard Communication

Hazard Communication

# 2 - Fall Protection Or Not

Basic Requirement for Fall Protection Anytime a worker is at a height of four feet or more, the worker is at risk and needs to be protected. Fall protection must be provided at four feet in general industry, five feet in maritime and six feet in construction. Regardless of the fall distance, fall protection must be provided when working over dangerous equipment and machinery.

Recent History of Fall Protection In 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that fatal work injuries involving falls decreased 20 percent in 2008 after a sharp increase in Fatal falls from roofs were down 26 percent and falls from ladders decreased by 14 percent. The number of fatal falls on the same level (to a floor or walkway or against an object) increased slightly in 2008.

Fall Protection Citations Failure to use a guardrail or personal fall arrest system. Failure to provide fall protection when working on low slope roofs. Failure to provide fall protection when working around holes. Failure to provide fall protection when working on equipment or level above. Lack of training for employees in fall hazards and use of equipment provided.

#1 - Scaffolding

What is Scaffolding? Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures. It is usually a modular system of metal pipes or tubes, although it can be made out of other materials. For example; bamboo is frequently used in some Asian countries.

Examples of Scaffolding

Something To Ponder An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65 percent of the construction industry, work on scaffolds. Protecting these workers from scaffold- related accidents may prevent some of the 4,500 injuries and over 60 deaths every year. In a Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) study, 72% of workers injured in scaffold accidents attributed the accident either to the planking or support giving way, or to the employee slipping or being struck by a falling object.

Scaffolding Citations Failure to provide fall protection. Failure to provide proper access (ladder, ramp or stair access not provided). Failure to provide adequate platform construction. Lack of personal fall arrest or guardrail systems. Failure to properly support scaffolding from movement or tip over.
