    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

  • 8/8/2019 Shamrock Valley Ent Ltd Orientation

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
