The Importance of Safety and Health Training

(Audio Transcript)

Each of us, as federal managers, is responsible for providing the necessary resources to our staff members so

that they are able to provide us with the work output necessary to sustain our operations.

This seems simple however, this means we each are also required to provide our staff with a safeenvironment in which to accomplish their tasks.

Regardless of level or position, all FEMA employees inherently rely on others to provide them with a safe and

healthy working environment and the tools with which to perform their assigned tasks safely, so at the end

of the day, they can return home to their loved ones.

Our FEMA work environment is the product of others efforts, as well as our own, to ensure that we have

done everything within our authority and ability to make it safe for staff members, contractors, citizens, and

visitors.

As managers, we are the localized representatives authorized to get things done safely.

The Safety, Health and Medical Readiness Division (SHMR) is the centralized organization within FEMA that

provides policy, oversight and guidance to management.SHMR management representatives assist agency managers, regardless of location, in providing the best

localized safety program possible.

By working with your local Safety Officials or Safety Professionals, you can make a major difference in the

working conditions within FEMA.

It is your responsibility to provide, train, equip, and require those within your charge to safely accomplish the

tasks that you assign them to do.

As the program area responsible for providing agency oversight regarding all safety and health matters, SHMR

will review and document agency-wide progress and concerns, and report them to senior management.

It is essential to all that you finish this training with not just knowledge, but comprehension of the subject

matter, so you can apply the information and promote a culture of health and safety within the agency.

Introduction

(Audio Transcript)

This lesson is designed to provide you the FEMA manager, regardless of position, with internal safety and

health information that is essential to ensure that FEMA provides a safe and healthy work environment for

the public as well as all employees, regardless of their employer or their location within FEMAs sphere of

influence.

Presidential Executive Order 12196, Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees,

states that safety and health programs throughout the Executive Branch must be developed, universally

accepted, and adhered to.

Each FEMA Administrator is required to provide for and fund a program area to oversee internal safety and

health progress and report out regarding the state of safety and health matters within all areas in the

agencys span of control.

To oversee the internal safety and health progress, each FEMA Administrator designates an Executive-level

senior staff member with sufficient authority to be responsible for the internal safety and health

administrative program oversight and to provide direction to the Director of the Safety, Health and MedicalReadiness Division (SHMR).

This senior-level member is assigned the title of Designated Safety and Health Officer (DSHO). The Director of

SHMR reports directly to the DSHO.

Senior Management Safety and Health Training Requirement

So why should you take this training? Not only will it help you provide a safe and healthy workplace it is also

required by law!

According to the health and safety standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA), under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1960 Basic Program Elements for Federal

Employees OSHA:

Each Federal agency is required to provide top management officials with orientation and other learning

experiences which train them to manage the occupational safety and health programs of their agencies.

Such orientation should include training on:

Section 19 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act

Presidential Executive Order 12196

Requirements of Part 1960 Basic Program Elements for Federal Employees OSHA

Agency Safety and Health Program

You will learn more about these laws and standards in Lesson 3 Safety and Health Orders, Regulations,

Policies and Directives.

Management Safety and Health Responsibilities, contd.

Specifically, managers, supervisors, or designated management representatives are required to:

Inform employees about hazards through training, labels, alarms, color-coded systems, chemical

information sheets, and other methods.

Keep accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses.

Perform tests in the workplace required by OSHA standards, such as air sampling or noise monitoring, as

needed.

Provide hearing exams or other medical tests required by the OSHA 29 CFR standards.

Post OSHA citations, injury and illness data, and the Federal Agency OSHA poster in the workplace where

workers will see them. This is in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.2 (a)(1).

Notify your local safety official, and provide him/her with the necessary information to report a fatality or

catastrophe involving 3 or more employees being hospitalized overnight. Do not discriminate or retaliate

against a worker for exercising his or her right to report an unsafe or unhealthy working condition or for

participating in FEMA safety and health activities (Section 1-201(f) Presidential Executive Order 12196).

Impact of Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents have enormous emotional and physical impact on victims and co-workers. Besides the

emotional impact, the costs associated with accidents are often thought to be covered entirely by insurance.

The government, being self insured, has to bear the costs associated with accidents. This, in turn cannegatively impact the funding for FEMAs operating budget.

You tend to forget about indirect costs associated with workplace accidents. Click on each link below to learn

more about these indirect costs:

Agency Burden

Decreased production

Failure to meet timelines

Damaged equipment

Increased administrative cost

Increased payroll

Human Toll

Distracted labor force

Diminished morale

Physical injury

Increased stress

Financial burden

Management Accountability through POWER Initiative

Building on the basis of and expanding the Safety, Health and Return to Employment (SHARE) Initiative

signed by President Bush in 2004, the Protecting Our Workers and Ensuring Reemployment (POWER)

Initiative was signed by President Obama in 2010. Covering fiscal years 20112014, its aim is to improve

workplace safety and health, reduce the financial burden of injury on taxpayers, and relieve unnecessary

suffering by workers and their families. It expects agencies to collect and analyze data on the causes and

consequences of frequent or severe injury and illness in the Federal workplace and prioritize safety and health

management programs that have proven effective in the past.

POWER Initiative Goals

Each Department within the Executive Branch (e.g. Department of Homeland Security) expects their

managers and supervisors to improve their performance in the following seven areas:

Reducing total injury and illness case rates


4/20

Reducing lost-time injury and illness case rates

Analyzing lost-time injury and illness data

Increasing the timely filing of workers compensation claims

Increasing the timely filing of wage-loss claims

Reducing lost production day rates

Speeding employees return to work in cases of serious injury or illness

POWER Initiative Goals

In 1970, Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) to assure safe and healthful

working conditions for all employees. The OSH Act assigns two main functions to the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA): setting standards for workplace health and safety and conducting workplace

inspections to ensure that employers are complying with the standards, providing a safe and healthful

workplace to employees.

The health and safety standards set by OSHA fall under Title 29 of the CFR. From this Title, the standards

that are applicable to you, as a Federal manager, supervisor or designated management representative,

include:

Safety, Health and Medical Readiness (SHMR) Division

SHMR serves as an internal resource for your safety officials, including Disaster Safety Officer (DSO),Collateral Duty Safety Officer (CDSO), and safety professionals. SHMR provides technical expertise, guidance

and oversight to ensure you and your safety official have the tools needed to implement a successful local

safety program. SHMR serves as FEMAs subject matter expert (SME) in all aspects of occupational safety and

health.

SHMR responsibilities include:

Providing guidance and oversight for all agency safety and health concerns

Providing technical training to all designated Agency Safety Officials

Serving as the agencys principal occupational safety and health advisor

Interpreting and relaying technical information regarding regulations, standards and codes, and

subsequently disseminating the statutory requirements appropriately

Voice of Experience

(Audio Transcript)

John, one of our enthusiastic reservists, decided he could climb up the front of a travel trailer to get an

identification number off the roof. In his haste, he chose to stand on the hitch and pull himself up onto the

roof instead of getting a ladder. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell. Johns efforts resulted in two broken ribs,

an ambulance ride, medical costs, and his being sent home. The agency incurred a Workers Compensation

claim, the loss of productivity from two coworkers who helped him get to the hospital (and later to his

vehicle), and the loss of a trained reservist who had to be replaced on short notice, plus the resulting pile of

paperwork.

environment.

Lesson 2: Federal Coordinating Officer Responsibilities

Lesson Overview

This lesson focuses on the responsibilities of the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) for ensuring safe and

healthy work environments for FEMA resources deployed at a disaster site.


Identify the FCO's responsibilities for ensuring safe and healthy work environments and promoting asafety-based culture for FEMA resources deployed at a disaster site.

List the resources available to you to ensure that your organization has an effective safety and health

program.

Identify the assigned Disaster Safety Officer's duties.

Introduction

This lesson is directed toward a Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) who is appointed by the President and

operates under the authority of the Administrator of FEMA. As the senior FEMA manager with assigned

responsibilities to manage Federal resources within a specific declared disaster, the FCO must support,

promote, and provide for working environments that are as safe and healthy as circumstances permit.

Provisions are included within the FEMA Incident Command System (ICS) to provide for a Command Staff

Officer, the Safety Officer, who has the assigned responsibility to act as the localized expert regarding safety

and health program management.

The FEMA Disaster Safety Officer (DSO) is assigned to specific disasters and subsequently provided with

technical guidance and support by the FEMA Safety, Health and Medical Readiness (SHMR) Division. In the

absence of an assigned DSO, the appointed FCO is personally responsible to ensure compliance with all

mandatory regulations regarding workplace safety and health program management.

Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) Safety and Health Responsibilities

If you are an FCO, YOU are responsible for the safety and health of all FEMA employees, full-time, part-time

and CORE, as well as FEMA Reservists working at your site.

FCOs must:

Ensure that members of the FEMA/SHMR/FQS Certified Disaster Safety Officer (DSO) Cadre are promptly

requested, to ensure continuity of operation and the thoroughness of the safety and health program.

Ensure that the delegation of responsibility for the DSO must not be transferred or relocated to

subordinates. Administrative day-to-day operations are within the purview of the FCO however, the DSO

will receive technical-based directions from SHMR headquarters management officials.

Review and sign hazard assessments.

Ensure the implementation and management of the disaster safety and health programs within their

assigned disaster.

Ensure organization-wide compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations regarding


7/20

public and occupational safety and health.

Ensure that the DSO is placed appropriately within the command staff structure and provided with

sufficient authority.

Ensure that disaster workplaces are inspected and accepted by a qualified and authorized DSO prior to

occupancy.

Ensure that the DSO receives all information so the DSO may make an informed occupancy decision.

Reference for Requesting the DSO

FEMA Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual 6900.3 Chapter 9 FEMA Occupational Safety and

Health Disaster Cadre Section 3 Federal Coordinating Officer Part a:

In accordance with FEMA Instruction 6900.5, the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) shall ensure that:

by FEMA employees shall receive an OSH inspection (preferably prior to use). OSH inspections shall be

thoroughly documented and made part of the disaster OSH records.

Safety and Health Activity Delegation

The FCO should stay aware of safety and health activities however, under the ICS, the Safety Officer is a

required technical advisor and is placed under the authority of the FCO as command staff. The FCO should

never transfer or delegate the responsibility of the DSO to a subordinate. Some other actions are:

Ensure that a DSO has been requested for your disaster.


8/20

Ensure that the DSO is provided with authority to be successful.

Ensure that a DSO has been requested for your disaster

Trying to do everything and keeping aware of your surroundings is a daunting task. The Safety, Health,

and Medical Readiness Divisions (SHMRs) Disaster Safety Operations Branch (DSOB) provides qualified

DSOs to ensure compliance with regulations as well as recordkeeping requirements, accident

investigation, and hazard reduction. Assigning a DSO ensures that you can execute your responsibilities

and receive advice and actions to take for regulatory compliance.

Ensure that the DSO is provided with authority to be successful

If you are the FCO, the safety and health of FEMA resources is ultimately your responsibility. The DSO is

charged with providing technical guidance to ensure that regulatory concerns are addressed and that the

health and safety of your staff are monitored and provided for. The DSO has access to FEMA safety and

health subject matter experts (SMEs) within SHMR.

Lapses in the DSO's authority can affect the safety and health performance of the FEMA disaster team.

Therefore, it is important to understand that once the DSO or safety representative is released from the

site, sole responsibility for all safety and health matters on your site resides with you.

DSO Responsibilities

The assigned DSO must:

Actively participate in the development of the disasters Incident Action Plan (IAP), evaluating theproposed tasks to determine safety risks, recommending risk abatement or mitigation as appropriate.

Perform hazard assessments to identify and address potential hazards employees may encounter.

Identify and coordinate abatement of hazards that may be encountered at a disaster or exercise site.

This list is designed to check your understanding of the FCOs responsibilities associated with the assignment

and empowerment of a DSO. Contact the SMEs at SHMRs Disaster Safety Operations Branch for additional

information or tools that may help you fully understand the importance of these questions.

Remember, the DSO and other SMEs within FEMA SHMR are resources available to the FCO to help ensure

that your organization has an effective safety and health program.


9/20

How do you determine whether you will request a DSO at your assigned disaster?

What do you do to ensure that the DSO assigned to the disaster is provided with the authority to fulfill

his/her safety and health obligations?

Do you give your DSO an opportunity to talk/report during a Command Staff briefing?

Do you empower your DSO to ensure that all staff employees are sufficiently trained and competent to

engage in their health- and safety-team-related responsibilities?

How confident are you that your assigned DSO is properly trained on health and safety matters?

Does your assigned DSO have the authority to effect change when an operation is determined to be an

imminent danger?

FCO Safety and Health Responsibilities Checklist, contd.

Are you aware of what is happening on the ground, and whether safety and health audits or assessments

are undertaken to inform you about how your employees and contractors actually work? If not to you, to

whom is it reported?

What information do you receive regularly about health and safety (e.g., injuries sustained, broken

equipment) and danger-related concerns that are known? If not to you, to whom is it reported?

What targets have you set to improve health and safety and do you benchmark your performance against

others disaster operations?

Where changes in working conditions have significant negative implications for health and safety, how are

these brought to the attention of managers and appropriate Command Staff members?

To whom do you assign the safety responsibilities when you release the last DSO from your assigned

disaster? Is the person you assigned professionally competent to perform the duties and to report, as

required, to SHMR?

Personal Protective Equipment Usage

At a disaster, the DSO or HQ SHMR Safety Official may determine that employees must wear personal

protective equipment (PPE) when performing certain jobs or tasks. It is important to understand that the

wrong PPE, or PPE used incorrectly, can cause more harm than good. Click on each link below to learn about

some precautions to take before and during PPE use:

Before using PPE

While using PPE

Remember this difference

Before using PPE

Before using the PPE:

Disaster responders must be properly trained and medically cleared to wear some forms of PPE.

Field supervisors must contact the DSO to determine whether PPE is indicated and whether adequate

precautions have been taken to ensure the safe use of PPE.

While using PPE

When using the PPE, employees must:

Use the right equipment for the job, as advised by the DSO.

Inspect PPE before every use and make sure it fits.

Follow the manufacturers instructions provided in training.

Clean and store equipment properly.

Always wear PPE in required areas, even if only passing through.

Remember this difference

Note that PPE (e.g., ear protection devices, respirators, safety glasses, etc.) must not be confused with

Personal Protective Clothing (e.g., aprons, clothing, and hats).

Voice of Experience

[Laura] I am a reservist working for FEMA. When a hurricane devastated a town in our state, we got

deployed to the disaster site. We worked 12-hour days and rotated shifts, seven days a week. While the

working conditions were terrible, our safety officer worked with our supervisor to ensure that we were

provided and trained in the use of the required Personal Protective Equipment. Even though we worked long

hours in difficult conditions, the disaster safety officer ensured that we worked safely. Ultimately, we felt

satisfied that we brought aid, relief, and comfort to those affected by the hurricane.

Lesson 3: Safety and Health Orders, Regulations, Policies and Directives

Lesson Overview

This lesson focuses on the understanding of Executive Orders, legislative standards and regulations, internal

directives and policies that govern FEMAs workplace safety and health program. You will also learn about the

role of the Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in workplace health

and safety on FEMA work sites.


Identify the applicable laws, regulations, and policies governing FEMAs workplace safety and healthDescribe the procedures that a manager, supervisor or designated management representative must

follow in the event of an OSHA compliance inspection

Introduction

This lesson provides access to and promotes the understanding of Executive Orders, legislative standards and

regulations, internal directives and policies that govern the management of FEMAs safety and health

program.

To achieve a successful program it is necessary for managers, supervisors or designated management

representatives to ensure compliance with these requirements and understand the reasons for them.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, also called the OSH Act, provides the basis for workplace

health and safety. This Act is codified in the Department of Labor rules under Title 29 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR).

The OSH Act assigns two main functions to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):

setting standards for workplace health and safety and conducting workplace inspections to ensure that

employers are complying with the standards, providing a safe and healthful workplace to employees.

29 CFR Section 1960 contains provisions ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for Federal-sector

employees. It is this section of the code that holds each Federal Agency responsible for establishing and

maintaining an effective and comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Program for Federal employees.

In 1980, Presidential Executive Order 12196 was issued and prescribed responsibilities for the heads of

Federal agencies. Although Agencies must operate their own safety and health programs in accordance with


11/20

certain basic program elements specified by the Secretary of Labor, Agency heads have the flexibility to

implement their programs in a manner consistent with their mission, size, and organization.

FEMA has established an Agency health and safety program that meets the requirements of Executive Order

12196, the basic program elements set forth in 29 CFR Part 1960, and OSHA standards for workplace safety

and health.

FEMAs safety and health program is governed by the following directives in a top-down structure:

Executive Order or Memorandum

Legislation

Department of Homeland Security Manual/Directive/Policy

FEMA Manual/Directive/Policy

Safety and Health Requirements for Managers, Supervisors and DesignatedManagement Representatives

As a representative of FEMA management, the Executive Order, OSHA standards and FEMAs policies require

that you:

Provide employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards

Comply with the occupational safety and health standards applicable to FEMA operations

Comply with all rules, policies and procedures developed by FEMA to protect employees from recognizedhazards

CFR

The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published by

the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. It is divided into 50 titles that

represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation.

Safety and Health Initiatives and Executive Orders

In addition to regulations related to the health and safety of Federal employees, the President of the United

States also issues directives outlining the safety and health responsibilities for Managers, Supervisors and

Designated Management Representatives through Initiatives and Executive Orders.

Executive Order 12196: Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees

This Executive Order, Occupational Safety and Health Programs for Federal Employees, specifies

responsibilities for the heads of Federal agencies and a requirement for the Secretary of Labor to issue

basic program elements for Federal agency safety and health programs in conformance with the

Occupational Safety and Health Act.

POWER Initiative

Building on the basis and expanding the Safety, and Return to Employment (SHARE) initiative signed by

President Bush in 2004, the Protecting Our Workers and Ensuring Reemployment (POWER) initiative was

signed by President Obama in 2010. Its aim is to improve workplace safety and health, reduce the

financial burden of injury on taxpayers, and relieve unnecessary suffering by workers and their families.

It expects agencies to collect and analyze data on the causes and consequences of frequent or severeinjury and illness in the Federal workplace and prioritize safety and health management programs that

have proven effective in the past.

Executive Order 13058: Protecting Federal Employees and the Public from Exposure to

Tobacco Smoke in the Federal Workplace

This Executive Order, Protecting Federal Employees and the Public from Exposure to Tobacco Smoke in

the Federal Workplace, does exactly what its name states: it protects Federal Government employees

and members of the public from exposure to tobacco smoke in the Federal workplace. It bans the

smoking of tobacco products in all interior spaces owned, rented, or leased by the Executive branch of the

Federal Government, and in front of air intake ducts in any outdoor areas under Executive branch

control.


12/20

Executive Order 13043: Increasing Seat Belt Use in the United States

This Executive Order, Increasing Seat Belt Use in the United States, requires that Federal employees use

seat belts while on official business. It also encourages Federal contractors, subcontractors, and grantees

to adopt and enforce on-the-job seat-belt-use policies and programs.

Executive Order 13513: Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving

This Executive Order, Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, prohibits Federal

employees from text messaging when driving a Government Owned Vehicle (GOV), when driving a

Personally Owned Vehicle (POV) while on official Government business, or when using electronic

equipment supplied by the Government while driving. It also encourages Federal contractors,subcontractors, and recipients and sub-recipients to adopt and enforce policies that ban text messaging

while driving company-owned or -rented vehicles or GOV, or while driving a POV on official Government

business or when performing any work for or on behalf of the Government.

Legislation and Standards

In 1970, Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) to assure safe and healthful

working conditions for all employees. The OSH Act assigns two main functions to the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA): setting standards for workplace health and safety and conducting workplace

inspections to ensure that employers are complying with the standards, providing a safe and healthful

workplace to employees.

The health and safety standards set by OSHA fall under Title 29 of the CFR. From this Title, the standardsthat are applicable to you, as a Federal manager, supervisor or designated management representative,

include:

Part 1910 General Industry Standards

These health and safety standards apply across general industry. OSHA uses the term "general industry"

to refer to all industries not included in construction, agriculture or maritime industries. OSHA regulations

for general industry activities include standards, directives (instructions for compliance officers), and

standard interpretations (official letters of interpretation of the standards).

Part 1926 Construction Industry Standards

The construction industry standards designate the specific health and safety conditions required by any

employer who builds, alters or repairs, including residential construction, bridge erection, roadway paving,

excavations, and demolitions. These activities may expose FEMA employees to serious hazards, such as

falling from rooftops or elevated work surfaces, unguarded machinery, entrapment in excavated areas,

being struck by heavy construction equipment, shocks and electrocutions, silica dust from concrete and

other building materials, asbestos from damaged insulation, plaster and other building materials.

Part 1960 Basic Program Elements for Federal Employees OSHA

This standard contains additional responsibilities for the heads of Federal agencies and a requirement for

the Secretary of Labor to issue basic program elements for Federal agency safety and health programs in

conformance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Part 1904 - Recordkeeping Requirements

This rule requires employers to record and report work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses. This rule

will be addressed in detail in Lesson 4 of this training.

DHS Health and Safety Directives and Forms

As a manager, supervisor or designated management representative, you also need to be aware of the health

and safety Directives issued by DHS.

The DHS Directive # 066-01 Safety and Health Programs (Revision # 00) establishes DHS policy,

responsibilities, and requirements regarding safety and health programs, including manager, supervisor or

designated management representative responsibilities.

13/20

FEMA also issues Health and Safety Directives and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of which you should

be aware.

Directive 6900.3 FEMA Facilities Management - Safety & Health - Occupational Safety and Health Program is

available on the FEMA intranet.

Contact your local safety official for copies of SOPs.

Handling OSHA Compliance Inspections

Federal OSHA conducts periodic compliance inspections, which are sometimes unannounced. These

inspections may be initiated by an employee complaint, an accident that has occurred, external agency

referral, or because the facility or site was part of a programmed inspection schedule.

As a manager, supervisor or designated management representative, you should be aware of the exact

procedure to follow when an OSHA inspector (Compliance Safety and Health Officer [CSHO]) arrives at any

FEMA facility or site.

When an OSHA inspector or representative arrives at any FEMA facility or site, immediately notify the

jobsite/facilities senior manager and Collateral Duty Safety Officer (CDSO), Site Safety Manager (SM), or

Disaster Safety Officer (DSO).

If the locations senior manager and/or CDSO/SM/DSO is or are not available, the highest-ranking manager,

supervisor or designated management representative who is available shall meet with the inspector and ask

him/her to refrain from beginning the inspection for at least 30 minutes until the locations senior managerand CDSO/SM/DSO arrive. CSHOs may be authorized by their supervisor to grant up to 1 hour until the

locations senior manager and CDSO/SM/DSO arrive.

In addition, the site locations senior manager, CDSO/SM/DSO, or highest-ranking manager, supervisor or

designated management representative must immediately notify the Safety, Health and Medical Readiness

Division management at (202) 646-4213 that a Federal OSHA representative/inspector is on-site conducting

an inspection.

Remember that the Safety, Health and Medical Readiness Division provides internal oversight of the safety

and health programs for ensuring that FEMA complies with all Federal and local safety and health laws,

regulations, and policies within the United States and its territories, and hence needs to be notified regarding

OSHA inspections. For detailed information contact your local safety official for a copy of the Standard

Operating Procedure (SOP).

Lesson Summary

In this lesson, you learned about the Executive Orders, legislative standards and regulations, and internal

directives and policies that govern FEMAs workplace safety and health program. You also learned about the

role of the Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in workplace health

and safety on FEMA work sites.


Identify the applicable laws, regulations, and policies governing FEMAs workplace safety and health

Describe the procedures that a manager, supervisor or designated management representative must

follow in the event of an OSHA compliance inspection

In the next lesson, you will learn how to report and process properly the paperwork associated with motor

vehicle accidents and injuries/illnesses that were reported by employees occupationally exposed to hazards.

Lesson 4: Accident, Injury or Illness Reporting

Lesson Overview

This lesson provides access to, as well as promotes, the information necessary to understand the reporting

process associated with Injury, Illness and Accidents within FEMA. You will learn about manager, supervisor,

or designated management representative responsibilities for OSHA's requirements for recordkeeping of

occupational injuries and illnesses.


14/20

To achieve a timely response to critical safety and health reporting issues it is necessary for FEMA

management representatives to be introduced to, understand and comply with the mandated reporting

requirements.

Within this lesson, we will introduce and discuss the various organizational requirements. Upon completion of

this lesson, you should be able to:

Identify employee and manager, supervisor, or designated management representative responsibilities in

reporting motor vehicle accidents

Identify manager, supervisor, or designated management representative responsibilities in reporting

occupational injuries and illnesses

Introduction

As a FEMA manager, supervisor, or designated management representative, YOU are responsible for ensuring

that all accidents, injuries and illnesses that occur at your facility or site are reported properly and timely so

that the appropriate response, investigations, follow-up and corrective or preventative actions can be initiated

effectively.

This lesson provides you the information necessary to understand the reporting process associated with

accidents, injury, and illness that may occur in FEMA work places and disaster sites.

The basis for the current safety and health reporting requirements are Occupational Safety and Health

Administration, the Office of Workers Compensation Programs, and the General Services Administration

regulations and policies.

To achieve a timely response to critical safety and health reporting issues, it is necessary for FEMA managers,

supervisors or designated management representatives to be introduced to, understand, and comply with the

mandated reporting requirements.

Motor Vehicle AccidentsAwareness and Responsibilities

If your employees are ever involved in a motor vehicle accident involving a Government-owned, rented or

privately owned vehicle while on the job, provide them with the following guidelines:

Stop immediately, out of the flow of traffic.

Notify the police and emergency services, if necessary.

Assist any injured persons.

Get necessary information, including registration numbers of all vehicles.

Whenever there is damage to other vehicles/property, the police must be made aware that the

Government is self-insureddo not give out personal insurance information

Record the date, time, and location of the accident.

If possible, photograph any damage to the vehicles.

Notify your supervisor as soon as you can.

Reporting Motor Vehicle Accidents to FEMA

Employees, managers, supervisors and designated management representatives have certain responsibilities

when reporting motor vehicle accidents to FEMA. Click on each link below to learn more about:

Employee Responsibilities

Manager, Supervisors or Designated Management Representative Responsibilities

Employee Responsibilities

In the event of a motor vehicle accident involving cars, pickups, tractors, tractor trailers, ATVs and

forklifts, FEMA employees have to follow these procedures:

1. Take digital photos of the vehicle(s) involved (if possible).

2. Fill out Form SF-91: Motor Vehicle Accident Report, regardless of who was at fault.

3. Submit the following document s along with a completed Form SF-91:


15/20

a. Copy of Police Accident Report, if any

b. Copy of Rental Agreement if the vehicle or motorized equipment involved in the accident was

rented or leased

c. Copy of the Auto Rental Agency Accident Report (if provided)

4. If the vehicle or motorized equipment was rented or leased, notify the rental company and report the

accident. Keep copies of any accident form or other forms that were filled out for the rental company.

5. If someone witnessed the accident, ask them to fill out and process Form SF-94: Statement of

Witness.

6. As a federal employee you must NE VER fill out a Form SF-95: Claim for Damage, Injury or Death.

This form is for claimants who do not work for the federal government. Make a copy of each of the

above documents for your files and submit the copies to the local FEMA Safety and Health Official

[e.g., Site Safety Manager, Collateral Duty Safety Officer, or Disaster Safety Officer.]

7. Once the form is signed by your supervisor, return the completed forms to your local FEMA Safety and

Health Official [e.g., Site Safety Manager, Collateral Duty Safety Officer or Disaster Safety Officer.]

Manager, Supervisors or Designated Management Representative Responsibilities

In addition to the employees submitting the forms, the manager, supervisor, or designated management

representative must:

1. Review Form SF-91 for accuracy

2. Complete and sign Block 81, 82a, 82b, 83a, 83b and 83c in Section X (Supervisors Certification).

3. If a non-FEMA person is injured or killed as a result of an accident involving a FEMA employee, that

person may file a claim against FEMA. The person must file a completed Form SF-95 and submit it to

FEMA Office of Chief Counsel within two years of the incident.

Keeping Records of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Following the motor vehicle accident recordkeeping guidelines helps ensure that you, as a manager,

supervisor, or designated management representative, are able to furnish the required information whenever

it is needed. It also helps the Office of Chief Counsel (OCC) provide effective legal support to resolve claims

expeditiously. You must follow these guidelines for recordkeeping:

Ensure that the Safety Official has a copy of all the records related to the incident and has forwarded all of

the necessary forms, if requested, to OCC.

Dont delete any records! They must be kept in their original format (e.g., e-mail, original signed letter,

voicemail, etc.). Keep the records until OCC gives the authorization to delete.

When submitting Form SF-91, Motor Vehicle Accident Report to the Safety Official, remember to include

the Privacy Cover to protect employees and/or private citizens privacy.

Now let us review how to handle employee injuries/illnesses when sustained on the job.

Reporting Incidents Resulting in Injuries and Illnesses

Employees who sustain injuries or illnesses while on the job MUST report the incident to their managers,

supervisors, or designated management representatives.

FEMA uses OSHA Form 301-Injury and Illness Incident Report as the first report of an injury or illness that

has occurred in the workplace.

This form must be completed by either the employee or the employees supervisor within 7 calendar days of

the incident.

The manager, supervisor or designated management representative must notify the site safety

representative once they receive notification of an injury or illness. Employees may get copies of the OSHA

301 form for their injuries.

Workers Compensation for Injuries/Illnesses

Employees who sustain injuries or illnesses while on the job that result in lost work time or medical expenses


16/20

are entitled to the benefits of the Federal Employees Compensation Act (FECA). This program is administered

by the Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs.

It is important to understand that FEMA managers, supervisors, or designated management representatives

do not determine the eligibility of FECA benefits. All eligibility determinations and decisions regarding

compensation benefits are made by Office of Workers' Compensation Programs. FEMA is responsible only for

reviewing the facts of each case and providing information and recommendations to OWCP for its decision-

making.

Occupational Injury/Illness Reporting Forms

FECA has prescribed the following forms for reporting occupational injuries or illnesses sustained in the

workplace:

Form CA-1 Federal Employee's Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of

Pay/Compensation

Form CA-16 Authorization for Examination and Treatment

Form CA-2 Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation

Keep in mind that whenever an employee requests Workers Compensation, you are required to complete the

agency portion of the appropriate form and sign the form. Your signature does not indicate agreement with

the employees version of events or approval of the claim. Your signature merely verifies that the employee

spoke with you about the incident.

Form CA-1 Federal Employee's Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of

Pay/Compensation

Form CA-1, Federal Employee's Notice of Traumatic Injury and Claim for Continuation of

Pay/Compensation, is used to report a traumatic injury sustained on the job. A traumatic injury is an

injury or wound to the body caused by an external force, such as a fall from height or being struck by a

falling or moving object. This form:

Should be returned to the supervisor no later than 30 days from the date of injury

Expires after 45 calendar days from the date of injury

Form CA-16 Authorization for Examination and Treatment

Form CA-16,Authorization for Examination and Treatment, is used to authorize medical treatment for anemployee who has been injured on the job. Some important notes about this form:

The supervisor must send, by fax or hand delivery, the completed and signed CA-16 to the medical

facility within 4 hours of the medical treatment.

The injured employee can be treated for up to 60 days from the date of the signed authorizations

issuance.

This form should never be issued for occupational illness claims.

A blank CA-16 form may never be provided to the injured or ill employee to complete and/or sign.

Form CA-2 Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation

Form CA-2, Notice of Occupational Disease and Claim for Compensation, is used to report an occupational

illness, which is a condition produced in the work environment over a period longer than one workday or

shift. Keep in mind that:

For submitting this form, claimants have up to three years from the date they became aware of the

occupational illness, their last exposure to the cause of the illness, or the date when the employer

first had knowledge of the occupational illness

The supervisor MUST submit the completed Form CA-2 within 3 working days of receipt from the

employee.

Manager, Supervisor or Designated Management Representatives Role inReporting Occupational Injury/Illness


17/20

The manager, supervisor or designated management representatives role in the process of reporting an

employees injury is listed below:

1. Review Form CA-1 or CA-2 for completeness and assist employee, if necessary, in completing it

2. Complete and sign back of Form CA-1 or CA-2.

a. If you are in doubt as to whether employees condition is related to employment, note it on the form.

b. Submit Form CA-1 or CA-2 to your local designated OWCP liaison, who will work with you t o submit it

to FEMAs Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) or contractor of record.

c. The local FEMA OWCP officer of record will process the completed forms and submit them to OWCP.

d. A manager, supervisor, or designated management representative MUST submit Form CA-1 to OWCP

within 3working days of the recorded date of injury.

3. Authorize medical care if needed by completing Form CA-16 within four hours of request.

4. Advise employee of the right to elect Contin uation of Pay (COP), rather than to use leave.

5. Advise employee of her/his responsibility to submit medical evidence of disability with in 10 calendar days

or risk termination/denial of COP.

Manager, Supervisor or Designated Management Representatives Role inReporting Fatalities and Catastrophic Accidents (FatCat Incidents)

OSHA regulations require special reporting for catastrophic accidents that result in:

the death of any employee from a work-related incident or

the in-patient hospitalization of three or more employees as a result of a work-related incident

This requirement specified in 29 CFR 1904 E Reporting Fatality, Injury and Illness Information to the

Government states that OSHA must be notified within eight (8) hours following such an incident.

As a FEMA manager, supervisor or designated management representative, YOU must orally report any

fatality or a multiple hospitalization incident immediately upon learning of the incident to your designated

Safety Official.

OSHA Recordkeeping Requirements

FEMA site/location managers, in coordination with the sites designated safety official are required underOSHA regulations to prepare and maintain OSHA 300 logs of work-related personal injuries and illnesses.

These logs provide a basis for a statistical program which produces data that OSHA can measure and use to

direct their prevention efforts enable you and your employees to identify the factors which cause injuries

and illnesses in your workplace and aid you and your employees to take action to improve workplace safety.

The decision tree shown outlines the process for determining if an injury or illness is work-related and meets

OSHAs definition of a recordable injury.

Examples of Recordable vs. Non-recordable Injuries

As we already learned, employers must record injuries and illness that are:

1. Work-related and,

2. Meet certain criteria defined by OSHA.

It is important to understand that ALL accidents, injuries and illnesses must be brought to your attention.

Whether an injury or illness is OSHA recordable is a determination made by the designated safety official

following an investigation of the incident.

As a supervisor, manager or designated management representative, your input into the incident

investigation will assist the designated safety representative official in determining if the injury or illness is

recordable.

The table below lists some examples of recordable and non-recordable injuries. It is not intended to be a

complete list.


18/20

Recordable I nju ry Examples Non -Recordable I nju ry Exam ples

An accident caused by contractor operations that

does not result in injury to FEMA personnel

Any other occupational injury requiring treatment

beyond first aid and/or resulting in lost work time

An injury that is effectively treated by applying first-

aid and doesnt result in any lost work time

OSHA Recordkeeping Forms

OSHAs Recordkeeping and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses rule (29 CFR 1904.7) requires

that employers maintain a log of injuries and illness that have occurred in the workplace, and that employees

are informed of those injuries and illness. OSHA has prescribed two forms that are used to record and report

injuries and illnesses in the workplace:

OSHA Form 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

Click on each link to learn more about each form.

As a manager, supervisor, or designated management representative, it is your responsibility to ensure that

the Safety Official is provided with complete information to ensure that accurate records of significant events

recordable are documented.

OSHA Form 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

OSHA Form 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses is used to record every recordable

occupational injury or illness within six working days after the employer learns of the occurrence. It also

provides the mechanism for reporting the required annual summary of occupational illnesses and

injuries.

OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses

OSHA Form 300A Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses provides an annual summary of

work-related injuries in a workplace.

Processing and Posting OSHA Recordkeeping Forms

The OSHA recordkeeping forms need to be processed and posted each year. Click on each link below to learn

more about what you, as a manager, supervisor or designated management representative, need to do to

ensure that the forms are completed within the timeframes and dates listed below.

Quarterly (on the 15th of the month)

November 1 January 31

February 1


19/20

April 30

For disaster response operations

Quarterly (on the 15th of the month)

The site safety representative (DSO or CDSO) is required to submit the OSHA 300 log to Headquarters on

a quarterly basis, by the 15th of January, April, July and October.

November 1 January 31

Review the OSHA 300 Log to verify that entries are complete and accurate. Then create and certify an

annual summary of injuries and illnesses recorded on OSHA Form 300A. The site safety representative(DSO) will provide the summary to the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), who must certify the

summary as accurate by signing the summary as the Company Executive. If the DSO was relieved by

the FCO and another injury or illness needs to be recorded and/or the 300 Log certified it is the

responsibility of the FCO to complete the forms and submit them to the appropriate Regional safety

official.

Once the OSHA 300A is completed, copies must be sent to the Recordkeeping Subject Matter Expert

within SHMR upon completion.

February 1

The certified copy of the OSHA Form 300A summary must be posted where notices are customarily

posted by February 1.

April 30

After April 30, the OSHA Form 300A can be taken down.

For disaster response operations

The disaster Safety Officer must send the OSHA 300 log, for all closing disaster response operations, to

the regional safety official so that the completed log may be posted within the appropriate regional office.
