Formaldehyde has its own standard – if you use it BEWARE.

16. Application Today’s Areas of Focus: 1.) Areas where ‘caught-in and struck-by’ hazards are present 2.) Areas of potential sprain and strain injuries 3.) Areas of potential fall hazards in growing areas 4.) Areas of potential training lapse 5.) Simple electrical hazards

17. Caught–In Caught–In Hazards 1.) Most commonly caused by missing or incorrect machine guarding or; 2.) Failure to Lock or Tagout

18. Caught–In Caught–In Hazards In Industry

19. Caught–In Caught–In Hazards In Industry @#$%^! OUCH!!

20. Caught–In Caught–In Best Practices Appropriate Guarding

21. Caught–In Caught–In Best Practices

22. Caught–In Caught–In Best Practices

23. Caught–In Caught–In Hazard Best Practices 1.) Machines should be appropriately guarded 2.) Guards should be functional; provide full protection and not create an additional hazards 3.) If guards are removed, LO/TO or cord control should be practiced 4.) Disciplinary action when guards are not replaced or LOTO procedures are not followed 5.) See Guarding and LOTO presentations on AMI website.

24. Caught–In How do you prevent caught-in injuries?

25. Struck–By Struck–By Hazards 1.) Struck-By falling materials or; 2.) Struck-By moving tractors, various mechanized equipment and powered industrial trucks

27. Struck–By Struck–By Hazards In Industry

28. Struck–By Struck–By Hazards In Industry

29. Struck–By Struck–By Hazards In Industry Others include: - Equipment dropped from the second level of growing rooms - Product being handed down from the second level - Maintenance work overhead

30. Struck–By Struck–By Best Practices

31. Struck–By Struck–By Hazard Best Practices 1.) Controlled Access Zones - Zones for Pedestrians - Zones for Loaders and Equipment 2.) High visibility clothing in heavy traffic areas or areas where heavy equipment is operating 3.) Appropriate signals, horns and lighting 4.) Other administrative controls - Training - Policy

32. Struck–By How do you prevent struck-by injuries?

33. Strain and Sprain Sprain/Strain Hazards 1.) Frequently the ‘catch all’ injury 2.) Think effort not final result - i.e. Slip and Strain ≠ Lift and Strain 3.) One of the toughest to prevent - Behaviors are a large contributing factor in many claims - Limited opportunities for engineering controls

Walking Boards - Multiple 2X4’s or; - 2 to 3 - 1x6’s; 1x8’s or 1x12’s - Connected together - Some means of limiting movement during harvesting operations - Distance between sideboards and walking boards should be <8” 2.) Trap Doors - Guard rails around open doors - Removable middle rail to pass product through 3.) Stairways - Guardrails - Top rail should be 36” – 44” from the floor - Middle rail should be approx ½ way between floor and top rail

56. Fall Hazards How do you prevent injuries related to fall exposures in growing areas?

57. Training Lapses Issues related to Training Lapse 1.) General Duty Clause citations at composting and farm operations. 2.) Unique hazards require unique policies and training 3.) Language barrier hinder informal training processes 4.) An educated workforce is more likely to make the safe choice

58. Training Lapses Likely Areas of Training Lapse (Standards) 1.) Hazard Communications - New Training requirements effective 12/01/13 2.) Powered Industrial Truck - Training available through this grant 3.) Lockout/Tagout - Training authorized employees - Training all employees that may be affected 4.) Personal Protective Equipment - Purpose of equipment - Use and storeage 5.) Respirators - Purpose of equipment - Other requirements

59. Training Lapses Likely Areas of Training Lapse (Industry) 1.) Composting Wharf - High Visibility Clothes policy - Pedestrian walking areas identified - Communication procedures - Restricted access areas 2.) Contract Crews - Safe Lifting procedures - Equipment use procedures (i.e. spawning machine, roller, etc) 3.) Packing Areas - Powered industrial truck seat belt use 4.) Farms - Removal and replacement of walking boards and trap doors

60. Training Lapse How do you prevent injuries related to training lapse?

61. Simple Electrical Hazards 1.) Hazards that can readily be identified by any trained person 2.) Most frequently cited hazard in this industry 3.) Most hazardous exposure our employees face* * According to past experience

71. Simple Electrical Hazards Simple Electrical Hazards Best Practices 1.) Train employees on what to look for 2.) Use appropriate repairs - Vulcanized repair kits, wet environment plugs, etc. 3.) Do not use flexible (extension) cords for permanent wiring 4.) Electrical tape should not be visible 5.) Missing ground plugs are unacceptable

72. Training Lapse How do you prevent injuries related to simple electrical hazards?

73. Conclusion 1.) Our industry is unique in terms of the hazards we face 2.) 6 days of each week a mushroom industry employee is injured 3.) 2 days of each week a mushroom industry employee has a lost time injury 4.) We need to take some additional steps to prevent injuries 5.) Open discussion of best safety practices in the industry is the best way to improve our safety record collectively
