Fall Protection
Copyright 2005 USC 35
Falls are the leading cause of deaths in the construction industry.
Most fatalities occur when employees fall from open-sided floors and through floor openings.
Falls from as little as 4 to 6 feet can cause serious lost-time accidents and sometimes death.
Open-sided floors and platforms 6 feet or more in height must be guarded.
Falls in Construction
Copyright 2005 USC 36
This presentation will discuss:
•The working conditions that prompt use of fall protection
•Options that are available to protect workers from falls
Fall Protection

Scaffolds
Copyright 2005 USC 39
What Is A Scaffold?
An elevated, temporary work platform
Three basic types: Supported scaffolds -- platforms
supported by rigid, load bearing members, such as poles, legs, frames, & outriggers
Suspended scaffolds -- platforms suspended by ropes or other non-rigid, overhead support
Aerial Lifts -- such as “cherry pickers” or “boom trucks”
Copyright 2005 USC 40
Hazards
• Falls from elevation – caused by slipping, unsafe access, and the lack of fall protection• Struck by falling tools / debris • Electrocution – from overhead power lines• Scaffold collapse - caused by instability or overloading • Bad planking giving way
Employees working on scaffolds are exposed to these hazards:

Excavations
Copyright 2005 USC 43
Excavation Hazards
Cave-ins are the greatest risk
Other hazards include: Asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen Inhalation of toxic materials Fire Moving machinery near the edge of the
excavation can cause a collapse Accidental severing of underground
utility lines

CranesCranes
Copyright 2005 USC 46
Major Causes of Crane Accidents
• Contact with power lines
• Overturns
• Falls
• Mechanical failures
Copyright 2005 USC 47
• Instability – unsecured load, load capacity exceeded, or ground not level or too soft
• Lack of communication - the point of operation is a distance from the crane operator or not in full view of the operator
• Lack of training
• Inadequate maintenance or inspection

Tools – Hand and Power
Copyright 2005 USC 50
Hazards• Workers using hand
and power tools may be exposed to these hazards:
objects that fall, fly, are abrasive, or splash
harmful dusts, fumes, mists, vapors, and gases
frayed or damaged electrical cords, hazardous connections and improper grounding
Copyright 2005 USC 51
Basic Tool Safety Rules
• Maintain regularly• Use right tool for the job• Inspect before use• Operate according to
manufacturers’ instructions • Use the right personal
protective equipment (PPE)• Use guards

Electrical Safety - Construction
Copyright 2005 USC 54
Electricity - The Dangers
• About 5 workers are electrocuted every week
• Causes 12% of young worker workplace deaths
• Takes very little electricity to cause harm
• Significant risk of causing fires
Copyright 2005 USC 55
Electricity – How it Works
• Electricity is the flow of energy from one place to another
• Requires a source of power: usually a generating station
• A flow of electrons (current) travels through a conductor
• Travels in a closed circuit
Copyright 2005 USC 56
Copyright 2005 USC 57
Materials Handling, Storage, Use, and Disposal
Copyright 2005 USC 58
Overview -- Handling and Storing Materials
•Involves diverse operations:
•Manual material handling Carrying bags or materials Unpacking materials
•Material handling via machine Forklift Crane Rigging
•Stacking or storing drums, barrels, kegs, lumber, • loose bricks or other materials
Copyright 2005 USC 59
Injuries
Lifting objects is a major cause of back injuries in the work place
Improper storing and handling of material and equipment can cause struck by and crushed by injuries
Copyright 2005 USC 60
Hazards•Improper manual lifting or carrying loads that are too large or heavy
•Being struck by materials or being caught in pinch points
•Crushed by machines, falling materials or improperly stored materials
•Incorrectly cutting ties or securing devices

Personal Protective Equipment
Copyright 2005 USC 63
Protecting Employees from Workplace Hazards
• Employers must protect employees from hazards such as falling objects, harmful substances, and noise exposures that can cause injury
• Employers must:– Use all feasible engineering and work practice
controls to eliminate and reduce hazards – Use personal protective equipment (PPE) if the
controls don’t eliminate the hazards.
• PPE is the last level of control!

Copyright 2005 USC 65
Stairways and Ladders
Copyright 2005 USC 66
• Stairways and ladders cause many injuries and fatalities among construction workers
• About half the injuries caused by slips, trips and falls from ladders and stairways require time off the job
Hazards
Improper use of the top rung of a step ladder
