2. Company commitment Safetyis more than just compliance with
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) regulations
and other government rules.Its astate of mind that must permeate
the entire company, including
office and field personnel,
management and hourlyemployees.
3. No business can expect tohave good safety performanceunless the president, chief
executive officer or owner

demonstrates through personal
conduct and concrete actions thatsafety is expected and required of
all employees.
4. However, because managersare confronted each day with non-
safety-related problems that require
immediate handling, they often aretempted to overlook safety and
health activities.Thats why a
company must establish andenforce safety rules to communicate
its commitment to safety, and
ultimately, to prevent incidents andinjuries
5. Company rules Companysafety rules are designed primarily
as training aids to familiarize
employees with potentiallyhazardous situations and operational
errors that can result in injuries.
Rules can be readily developed byobserving existing conditions andreviewing previous accidents.

6. Rather than having topmanagement develop andimplement rules, its better to have all
parties help develop the companyrules. Involvement fromsupervisors, safety coordinators
and employees leads to
cooperation and an understandingof why the rules exist and what
hazards they are designed tocontrol.
7. Involving all parties also helpsensure the rules are presented in
terms the workers understand
8. Whenever possible, rulesshould state what is to be done,
rather than what is prohibited.
Positive statements are more
effective than negative
declarations. Rules also should be
logical, enforceable and applicable
to the specific company ordepartment operations.
9. Whenever possible, rulesshould state what is to be done,
-

rather than what is prohibited.
Positive statements are more
effective than negative
declarations. Rules also should belogical, enforceable and applicable
to the specific company ordepartment operations.
10. Rules, such as be carefularound electricity, are too general,
and therefore, not enforceable. And
if rules are not or cannot beenforced, it impairs the effectiveness
of other rules and dilutesmanagements commitment
11. In addition to general companyrules, develop special-purpose
safety rules for non-routine tasks,the operation of dangerous
equipment and other hazardous
jobs. Review and revise rules on an
ongoing basis and communicate
them regularly to employees duringnew-employee orientation and at
weekly toolbox talks.

12. Government rules In additionto company rules, employers mustbecome familiar with the various
government laws that define theminimum duties, actions andprecautions all employers must take
to ensure the safety and health of
their employees. Federal rulesinclude OSHAs regulations for
construction (29 CFR 1904 and1926) and for general industry (29CFR 1904 and 1910).
13. Other safety regulations includethe Ohio Administrative Code,
Specific Safety Requirements of the
BWC Relating to Construction and toAll Workshops and Factories, as
well as those of the Environmental
Protection Agency and state fireand building codes.
14. Written safety and healthprograms OSHA requires allconstruction companies to develop
and implement a written safety andhealth program. A program should
-
7/27/2019 Construction Safety Magazine Jan-mar 2013
8/34
describe the whole of thecompanys safety-and-health
activities. Think of it as an ongoing
process. Organized leadership withproper application of the program isessential to attaining good safety and
health performance, which pays off
through: Fewer accidents;
Improved production; Increased
employee efficiency; Enhancedemployee morale; Lower workers
compensation costs; DecreasedOSHA citations and fines.
15. Programs should address atleast: Management commitment
and leadershipManagementsvisible support is critical to theprogram. Issue clearly stated policies
that outline the commitment and set
the standard by which management
will judge safety and health
behavior; 16. Assignment of responsibility
From top management to the front-
line workers, all employees must
-
7/27/2019 Construction Safety Magazine Jan-mar 2013
9/34
understand what is expected ofthem and must be involved in the
safety and health process.
Specifically identify safety andhealth responsibilities and
expectations for all companyemployees;
17. Identification and control ofhazards Address how to identify
hazards, and how to abatehazardous situations and behavior.
Company audits or inspections are
a crucial part of the program;
18. Training and education Atraining program for all supervisors
and employees must be ongoing
and effective. It must also includegeneral safety and health issues with
site- specific hazards and non-routine tasks;
19.
Record keeping and hazard
analysis Include evaluation of all
incidents, including near- misses,so management can determine

trends and causes, and initiatecorrective action;
20. First aid and medicalassistance Evaluate emergency
procedures and first-aid supplies
available at each job site; Site-specific issues In addition to
general safety and health
provisions, address hazards that
are unique to each individualconstruction site. Before performing
work, conduct an inspection to
determine the unique hazards.Inform all employees of how to
eliminate or avoid the hazards.
21. Elements of a site-specific plancan include: Emergency
procedures; Contact with utilities;
Interaction with other contractors;
Weather conditions;
Environmental conditions; Unique
activities known to be hazardous,such as confined space entry or
demolition; Material-storage

1. Sunlight contains ultraviolet (UV)radiation, which causes premature
aging of the skin, wrinkles,cataracts, and skin cancer. The
amount of damage from UV
exposure depends on the strength
of the light, the length of exposure,and whether the skin is protected.
There are no safe UV rays or safesuntans.
2. Skin Cancer Sun exposure atany age can cause skin cancer. Be
especially careful in the sun if youburn easily, spend a lot of timeoutdoors, or have any of the
following physical features:
Numerous, irregular, or large moles.
Freckles. Fair skin. Blond, red, orlight brown hair.
3. Self-ExaminationIts importantto examine your body monthly
because skin cancers detected
early can almost always be cured.
-
7/27/2019 Construction Safety Magazine Jan-mar 2013

The most important warning sign is a
spot on the skin that is changing in
size, shape, or color during a period
of 1 month to 1 or 2 years.
4. Skin cancers often take thefollowing forms: Pale, wax-like,
pearly nodules. Red, scaly, sharply
outlined patches.Sores that dont
heal. Small, mole-like growths
melanoma, the most serious type ofskin cancer.
5. If you find such unusual skinchanges, see a health careprofessional immediately
6. Cover up.Wear tightly-wovenclothing that blocks out light. Trythis test: Place your hand between
a single layer of the clothing and a
light source. If you can see your
hand through the fabric, thegarment offers little protection.
7. Use sunscreen. A sun protectionfactor (SPF) of at least 15 blocks 93
percent of UV rays. You want toblock both UVA and UVB rays to
-

guard against skin cancer. Be sure
to follow application directions onthe bottle.
8. Wear a hat. A wide brim hat (nota baseball cap) is ideal because it
protects the neck, ears, eyes,forehead, nose, and scalp.
9. Wear UV-absorbent shades.
Sunglasses dont have to beexpensive, but they should block 99
to 100 percent of UVA and UVBradiation.
10. Limit exposure. UV rays aremost intense between 10 a.m. and
4 p.m. If youre unsure about thesuns intensity, take the shadow test:
If your shadow is shorter than you,
the suns rays arethe daysstrongest

First aid isemergency help given to an injured
or suddenly ill person using readily
available materials. It may be as
simple as cleaning and bandaging aminor cut on a workers finger, or it
can be complicated, such as
providing care for a worker who has
been struck by a piece of movingequipment.
3. The objectives of first aid are thesame, regardless of the situation.
They are to preserve life prevent
the injury or illness from becoming

equipment, facilities, trainedpersonnel, and first aid procedures in
all workplaces. The Act authorizes
the WSIB to penalize employerswho do not comply with theserequirements. Here is a brief outline
5. Equipment Employers mustprovide and maintain a first aidstation in the workplace. Pick a
location for the kit that it isaccessible at all times. Companieswho use service vehicles should
ensure that first aid kits are provided
for each vehicle. As well, provide a
first aid kit when workers are
operating heavy construction andmaintenance equipment at a
distance from the first aid station.The contents will vary according to
the number of employees regularly
employed in that workplace.
Regulation 1101 provides thedetails of the contents. Inspect each
kit at least quarterly, then sign anddate the inspection card.

6. Large companies (over 200employees) are required to have a
first aid room. On construction
projects, its the responsibility of thegeneral contractor to provide the first
aid station. It should be located in
the site office. On a large project,
set up additional first aid stations toensure timely access to treatment. In
all cases, the regulation requiresyou to post the WSIBForm 82 (In
Case of Injury at Work poster), afirst aid kit inspection card, and the
valid first aid certificates of the first
aid providers in the workplace.
7. Trained personnel Employersmust ensure that first aid is providedby trained and knowledgeable
workers. Regulation 1101 specifies
training either to the St. JohnAmbulance Emergency or Standard
First Aid levels (or equivalent)depending on the number of
workers in the workplace.Emergency-level first aid training
generally includes the following
