CHAPTER 1INTRO TO SAFETY
Responsibility for Safety: Employer
• Your Employer must:–Select safe equipment
– Identify and control hazards
–Establish safety rules and procedures
Responsibility for Safety:
Employee• You are responsible for:
– Arriving at work in good physical condition
– Completing your tasks as trained
– Following the safety rules and procedures
– Using your brain, not just your back
Some Terms
• Accident – an unexpected event resulting in injury, illness, or property damage.
• Hazard- a condition that could cause an injury.
New Employee Orientation
• Tour of the work area• Location of medical care• Method of reporting injuries• Location of fire and emergency
equipment• Required personal protective equipment• Incentive and awards programs• Housekeeping requirements • Required department inspections• Plant safety rules
Bulletin Boards/Communication
• Required federal/state safety posters
• Additional safety posters on a wide variety of subjects
• Method of obtaining emergency care
• Plant safety rules• Plant emergency plan and map• List and location of all chemicals
used in each department
Training
• Required training for the job being assigned
• Use of powered industrial equipment• Safe handling of chemicals on the job• Proper lifting and carrying techniques• First aid and CPR procedures• Emergency evacuation, weather
emergencies, fire safety procedures• Information covered by signs and tags
Additional Training
• Use of forklifts and cranes• Machine safety• Lockout/tagout procedures• Use of respirators and other
personal protective equipment• Radiation, fumes, mists, gases, etc.• Welding and cutting procedures• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Incentive Programs
• Some companies use incentive programs to encourage safe work habits– The incentives could include
extra time off with pay, bonuses, social events, dinners, etc.
Food For Thought
• Safety experts agree that a hazardous condition usually causes many close calls before it causes a major accident.
• On average a person may have 300 unsafe acts/close calls before a major accident occurs. • You are not guaranteed 300 unsafe acts/close calls
before you are horribly injured and scarred for life (if lucky)
• Safety committees are developed to allow employees and supervisors to meet and discuss safety issues.

Examples
• Not wearing required PPE• Engaging in horseplay, distractions, or
teasing• Operating any equipment without being
trained properly• Operating equipment outside its intended
operating range• Failing to secure or store objects properly• Failing to warn or give information or
signals to others
Examples Continued
• Working on moving equipment• Carrying, lifting, or loading in
unsafe ways• Making safety devices
inoperative• Using unsafe or dangerous
equipment or machinery• Failing to call attention to the
unsafe acts of others.
Unsafe Conditions
• Defective tools, equipment, or machinery• Dangerous work surfaces, work areas,
and elevations• Inadequate ventilation, illumination, or
work station design• Inadequate or improper warning
procedures and alarm systems• Unsafe clothing or protection devices• Slippery walking surfaces (floors, aisles,
steps)

Inspection
• Before you can eliminate unsafe conditions, someone must first identify them!
• When you see an unsafe condition do something about it!
• Safety begins with you, not ‘someone else’

Recognizing Hazards
• Hazard- a condition with the potential to cause injury
• Electrical Hazards
• Chemical Hazards
• Mechanical Hazards
• Environmental Hazards
Health Hazards
• Toxic substances
• Routes of entry to the body– Inhalation 90%– Absorption second most likely– Ingestion watch what you eat!

Other Hazards
• Noise
• Radiation
• Repetitive motion
• Back strain
• Failure to listen to your gut

Hazard Help
• PPE –Personal protective equipment– Sometimes the only way to
reduce hazards– It only works if you use it
PROPERLY!• Engineering controls
– Proper ventilation or a fume capture device
– Proper barriers , etc.
Type of Accidents
• Caught-between accident• Caught-in accident• Caught-on accident• Fall from above accident• Fall same level accident• Struck-by accident• Struck-against accident• Contacted-by accident• Exposure accident• Strain/overexertion accident

Handling Emergencies
• First and foremost STAY CALM!
• Fire• Natural emergencies• Chemical spills• First aid and CPR
Safety Off the Job
• The moment you leave the plant your chances of being injured or killed TRIPLE! The most dangerous place to be is in an automobile.
• Wear your seat belt• Stay calm driving• Make sure you are machine
ready• Try not to give others reason to
target you
Safety in the Home
• Second most dangerous place next to your vehicle
• If it would be a safety requirement at work, make it a requirement at home.
• Just because it is a home environment, don’t be cheap.
• The person responsible for your safety is YOU not the manufacturer!
