![Page 4: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Develop a Contractor’s Safety Program?• A safety program is a legal
requirement• OSHA requires contractors to
develop specific safety programs– Construction Standard, Section 1926.20
requires all employers in the construction industry to regularly inspect sites for hazards, provide PPE and train workers on hazards they may encounter
![Page 5: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Safety Program• A safety program should include the
following core elements:– Management leadership and employee
participation– Hazard identification and assessment– Information and training– Evaluation of program effectiveness
(enforcement)
![Page 6: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Benefits of a Safety Program• Lower accident
rates• Reduced job
disruption from minor accidents and injuries
• Reduced worker compensation premiums
• More Productive workers
![Page 7: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Steps to Create a Safety Program
• Use SSPC Guide 17, Guide to Developing a Corporate Safety Program for Industrial Painting and Coating Contractors as a template– In current version of SSPC Volume 2 –
Systems and Specifications
![Page 8: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Steps to Take to Create a Safety Program• Step 1: Make a Management
Commitment• Step 2: Designate a Safety
Coordinator• Step 3: Develop the Basics• Step 4: Develop the Specifics• Step 5: Develop a Code of Safe
Practices• Step 6: Put it All Together
![Page 9: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Step 1• Make a management commitment and:
– Get a copy of the applicable regulations• Federal and state
– Create a signed written policy statement endorsed by executive management
– Review any programs the company already has in place
– Review the firm’s accident history• Look for any patterns • Look for connections between type of injury
and type of work
![Page 10: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Step 1• Federal standards from OSHA are
compiled in chapter 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations
• www.osha.gov• State OSHA plans may have
additional requirements (they must be “at least as effective as” the Federal standards)
![Page 11: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Step 2• Designate one individual to have the
primary responsibility of acting as safety coordinator
![Page 12: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 2• Some requirements for an effective
safety coordinator are:– Good communication skills– Knowledge of the business– Basic background in science and chemistry– High reading and comprehension skills– Good organizational skills– Perseverance
![Page 13: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step 2• The safety coordinator should assign
responsibilities for preparing specific components of the program using a checklist
![Page 14: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Safety Program Checklist• The safety program must:
– Contain a management commitment statement
– Designate safety responsibilities– Define discipline for safety policy
violations– Provide recognition for superior safety
efforts– Define training and employee
communication
![Page 15: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Safety Program Checklist (continued)
• The safety program must:– Provide for task-specific hazard analysis– Provide for jobsite safety inspections– Provide a procedure for correction of
unsafe conditions– Provide compliance verification– Define accident and illness reporting– Define accident investigation– Define record keeping
![Page 16: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Management Statement• The management statement states
that the program has the full support and authority of company management
![Page 17: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Management Statement• An example of a signed written
policy statement is:– Our company is committed to provide
facilities, equipment and management to assure a safe working environment for employees and to achieve the lowest possible personal and financial loss due to accidents and injuries
![Page 18: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Designate Safety Responsibilities• Who is responsible for safety at:
– The management level– The project management level– The field operations level– The supervisors level– The contractor level
![Page 19: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Define Discipline for Policy Safety Violations• Describe how violations of the safety
program will be handled• Discipline should be defined as:
– Progressive– Consistent – Fair
![Page 20: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Recognition for Superior Safety Effort• Workers who demonstrate superior
safety attitudes, effort and thought should be rewarded
![Page 21: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Training and Employee Communication• Explain how safety procedures and
policies should be communicated to the workers in the field
• Encourage employee feedback • Define who will act on employee
suggestions and complaints
![Page 22: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Work Place Hazard Analysis• Tasks, equipment, procedures and
work sites must be analyzed to identify hazards or potential hazards
• Checklists for these may be helpful:– Job (task) Hazard Analysis (JHAs)– Jobsite inspections– Equipment inspections (manlift, forklift,
scaffold, vehicles, major equipment)
![Page 23: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Correction of Unsafe Conditions
• Correct unsafe conditions by providing:(Generally in this order…)
• Revised work practices• Changes in equipment• Training• Protective equipment
![Page 24: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Compliance Verification• Determine how you will verify that
identified unsafe practices, procedures, equipment or conditions have been corrected
![Page 25: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Accident and Illness• Develop a process for how accidents
are to be reported to management and determine:– Who must make the report– Who receives the report– What action will be required
![Page 26: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Accident Investigation• All accidents should be investigated
and the safety program should define:– Who will conduct the investigation– What format will be followed– Who will receive the reports and what
action will be taken
![Page 27: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Record Keeping• The safety program should explain:
– What general safety records must be kept
– Who will maintain the records– What summary reports will be prepared– Special retention times, where
applicable • (30 years for medical records)
![Page 28: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Record Keeping• The following checklist may be
useful for record keeping:– Are all occupational injuries and
illnesses, except for minor injuries requiring only first aid, being recorded as required in the OSHA 300 log?
– Are employee medical records and records of exposure to hazardous substances up-to-date with current OSHA requirements?
![Page 29: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Record Keeping• Have the required OSHA training records
been kept current and are they easily accessible for review?
• Have arrangements been made to maintain records for the term of employment plus required retention? (30 years for medical)
• Are inspection tags, operating permits and other records up-to-date for such items as firefighting equipment, elevators, air pressure tanks, etc.?
![Page 30: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Step 3• Form a safety committee
– Many states actually require or encourage a joint safety committee of employees and supervisors as part of their OSHA or worker compensation regulations
![Page 31: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 3• The safety coordinator should set a
reasonable timetable for the development of a safety program and define individual responsibilities such as:– When will you have a listing of all the specific
training and procedures necessary– Who will complete them– When will they be completed– Who will inventory the hazardous materials
and develop the Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) program
![Page 32: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Step 3• The safety coordinator should set
intermediate milestones requiring progress reports to be submitted at least once a month
![Page 33: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Step 3• Once all the material has been
submitted from the safety committee, the safety coordinator drafts the master safety program using the checklist provided earlier in the presentation
![Page 34: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Step 4• Use the draft program procedures to
analyze the hazards and ask:– Do workers ever use or encounter
materials containing toxic products?– Do workers enter tanks or pits?– Do workers work with lead based
paints?– Do worker work in high noise
operations?
![Page 35: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Step 4• Do workers ever use or encounter
materials containing toxic products?– If YES, then develop a HAZCOM program
• List all hazardous materials within the organization
• Make sure all MSDSs are on hand and learn how to interrupt them
• Set up a master file and method of getting the information and copies of the MSDSs to the field
![Page 36: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Step 4• Do workers ever spray materials
containing toxic products?• If Yes, then develop a respiratory protection
program– Cover respiratory fitness clearance (evaluation by
LHCP)– Training in proper selection, use and maintenance
of respirators– Cover fit testing– Provide for
periodic re-evaluation
![Page 37: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Step 4• Do workers enter tanks or pits?– If YES, then the company needs a permit-
required confined space program
![Page 38: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Step 4• Do workers work with lead based paints?– If YES, then the company should have a
comprehensive lead safety program
![Page 39: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Step 4• Do worker work in high noise operations?
• If YES, then indicate the need for a hearing conservation program
![Page 40: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Step 4• The following hazards require OSHA training and
may require a Competent or Qualified Person:– Blood Borne Pathogens– Confined Spaces, Permit Required– Fall Protection– First Aid– Hazard Communication Standard– Hearing Protectors– Ladders– Lead Paint Hazard
![Page 41: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Step 4• Continued:
– Lockout and Tagging Circuits– Portable Fire Extinguishers– Powered Industrial Truck Operator Training– Respiratory Protection– Scaffolding– Power Operated Hand Tools– Personal Protective Equipment– Access to Employee Exposure and Medical
Records
![Page 42: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Step 5• A code of safe practice should be
developed for each identified risk such as:– Fire (Materials, Storage, Use,
Emergency Response)– Health (Toxic exposures)– Physical (Falls, Struck by, Pinch-points,
Heat/Cold stressors)
![Page 43: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Step 5• A code of safe practice is a listing of
brief standard work practices or procedures that are designed to improve safety and reduce risk
• The code summarizes general safety rules that do not fit into a specific program such as HAZCOM or Confined Space
![Page 44: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Step 5• Weekly safety meetings should be
given by supervisors at all work sites– Include requirement and attendance at
these meetings in the code of safe practice
– Provide supervisors (or whoever instructs) with training on appropriate topics and effective safety meetings
– Relate to actual jobsite safety issues
![Page 45: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Step 6• How will this information reach the
people who need to use it?– Provide training, which may include:
• Written materials• Video presentations• Verbal instructions from a supervisor
– Consider how you will document that training is effective
![Page 46: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Step 6• The safety training must include
information on:– The nature of hazards and how to
recognize them – What is being done to control hazards– The protective measures the employee
must follow to prevent or minimize exposure to the hazard
– The employee’s rights and employer’s responsibilities included in OSHA or other standards relating to the hazard
![Page 47: Presented by: Robert Ikenberry, California Engineering Contractors](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/5681440a550346895db0a08d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Summary• With a management commitment to
safety, a dedicated safety coordinator, and some effort, a painting contractor, whether small or large, can prepare an effective safety program and reap the benefits of reduced accidents, lower insurance premiums, improved worker morale and productivity, and freedom from government citations and fines
