ACTIONS & METHODSAfter identifying a hazard, workers and managers need to understand its severity,

especially for biological and chemical hazardous agents.

Chemical Hazards

Chemical hazards are non-living hazards that result from substances, including

solids, liquids or vapors, which could potentially interact. Some chemicals candamage the human body if people inhale, ingest or absorb them. The severity of aparticular agent is often measured through exposure limits, explosive limits, orIDLH (immediately dangerous to life and health) values. Hazard severity is notedon the material safety data sheet of each hazardous material, and a chemicalhazards severity is based on 5 major factors:

THINKTHINK

How toxic it is or how much it can harm body tissues

How quickly it burns or evaporates

How it reacts with other chemicals

How much exists at a work site

How long a worker is exposed to it


44/102

It is not just Chemicals we work in

Alberta Biological Hazards

Biological hazards are those that pertain to life or living organisms, they include viruses and toxic materials thatliving things produce. When identifying hazards, workers, supervisors, and managers should understand the morecommon or severe biological hazards in our industry. These may include the following:

Bears

Bears can be a hazard at many worksites throughout the industry. During bear season, workers should beproactive in deterring bears from entering the worksite by keeping as little food or trash as possible on theworksite and covering food stores & trash cans.

Bird and Bat Droppings

Given that the majority of our work is in wooded areas, bird and bat droppings are likely to be present. Bird andbat droppings support the growth of a fungus that causes an infection called histoplasmosis; this fungus grows insoils and decaying matter such as rotten wood. The infection is caused by inhaling fungus spores that are capable

of remaining airborne for a long period of time. Signs of infection are coughing, fever, and tiredness. Some formsof infection are fatal. Signs and symptoms usually present themselves between 5 and 18 days after being exposedto the spores.


45/102

Prevent the Actions

Hand Washing Prevents a lot of

problems


46/102

Deer and Moose

Deer, moose and other wildlife present hazards on the road especially at dusk & dawn. Workers should ensurethat their windshield and headlights are clean at all times, driving slower during these will also reduce thepossibility of a collision.

Drinking Water

Drinking unsafe water can cause people to be sick, have diarrhea, vomit, or feel nausea. To prevent sickness,Layton Bros provides bottled water at worksites, and workers are encouraged not to drink water supplied by localwaterworks systems. Workers should never drink water from firewater systems.

Rodents

Rodents are a common source for a fatal virus known as the Hantavirus, workers are encouraged to avoid anycontact with rodents, and are asked to report any situation where rodent infestations may pose a threat to a

worksite.

Physical Hazards

Physical hazards are those that are neither biological nor chemical, but that exist around us, or because of thingswe do. They include such things as air quality, noise, pressure, and physical activity.

Noise

Exposure to noise in industrial settings can cause hearing loss. Hearing protection shall be worn for all types ofwork where the noise level is in excess of 85dBA. The following chart has been provided to be used as a guidelinefor noise levels.


47/102

Always be prepared for the weather,

dress properly and take a heads up!


48/102

Training

General

Training is one of the most important elements of any Injury and Illness PreventionProgram. This training is designed to enable employees to perform their jobsproperly, bring new ideas to the workplace, reinforce existing safety policies andput the Injury and Loss Prevention Program into action.

The success of Shamrock Valley Enterprises, Injury and Loss Prevention Programdepends on the actions of individual employees as well as a commitment by thecompany.

Overloaded Outlets: Overloading electrical circuits and extension cords canresult in a fire

Unsafe/Non-Approved Equipment: Look for UL Listed Label

Defective,frayed or improperly installed cords: Exposed wires can lead to electricalshock.always inspect before use

Improper Placement ofCords: Never pull or drag over sharp objects that may cause cuts inthe insulation. Never place on radiators, steam pipes, walls, or through windows

ElectricalCords acrossWalkways andWork Areas: Presents tripping hazarduse tape or acord runner instead

Live PartsUnguarded: Ensure wall receptacles have covers

Workers must use proper lifting methods to protectthemselves from injury and make the job easier. When

equipment is available and conditions make it practical,they must use mechanical equipment for lifting andcarrying. Cranes, hoists, forklifts, and other units are madefor that purpose.

Proper lifting methods are especially important when liftingobjects from a position below arms length. Workers should

avoid manually lifting anything over 50 lbs without helpavoid manually lifting anything over 50 lbs without help.

Rule # 2 Not Dialing and Driving

Pull Over take the call in safetyCellular Phones

Recent technological advances have provided drivers / operators with many newsafety features, including cell phones. Cell phone communications can offertraveling employees quick access to emergency services when stranded. It can alsoallow them to help others, call for assistance at a crash / incident site, or alert

authorities of unsafe drivers.

However, due to the distraction that cell phone use presents while driving/operating, it can result in severe injury or loss of life. This distraction is causedonly moderately by the use of a driver / operators hands, its primarily caused bythe mental involvement required to engage in conversation.

While driving company vehicles, personal vehicle for company purposes, oroperating equipment, the following guidelines for cell phone use will apply.

faster (>5 km/h faster than surrounding traffic) in a companyvehicle is prohibited. An employee driving unduly fast may place thesafety of co-workers or members of the public, his or her jobperformance, or the safe and efficient operation of the companyvehicle at risk.

The Right to Refuse Unsafe

Work

Hand Tool Power Tools do a job now


90/102

Hand Tool Power Tools do a job now

do yours Portable power tools pose a special danger to employees because they are

deceptively small and light, yet they can do great bodily harm if used improperly orare poorly maintained. These rules apply to all power tools, but especiallyimportant when handling portable saws, drills and power screw drivers.

Check you equipment before you use it. All grinders, saws and similar equipmentshould be equipped with appropriate safety guards. Power tools should not beused without the correct shield, guard, or attachment recommended by themanufacturer.

Portable circular saws must be equipped with guards above and below the baseshoe. Circular saw guards should be checked periodically and before each use toassure they are not wedged up, thus leaving the lower portion of the bladeunguarded.


91/102

Ensure

All rotating or moving parts of equipment should be guarded to preventphysical contact. All cord-connected, electrically operated tools andequipment should be effectively grounded or must be the doubleinsulated type.

Power tools are either battery operated, wired, air or gas powered. If

battery operated, don't under estimate their power. A small electric drillor power screwdriver can cause a severe injury if it lands in the wrongplace. While not usually a shock hazard, the battery pack contains toxicchemicals and does emit a low voltage electric current. Don't drop orincinerate the battery pack, or a tool with a self-contained power source.

Hard-wired equipment can be portable or fixed. Typically used withextension cords, the more powerful hard-wired equipment presents adouble safety problem: the actual equipment plus its electrical powersource.
