3 SAFETY AT HEIGHTS OVERVIEW

5 AWARENESS IS KEY

6 RISK AWARENESS DROPPED OBJECTS» Defining Dropped Objects» Any object/item that falls from its previous position.» Considers workers {themselves} as separate category (fall protection).» Can be large or small:» Tools» PPE» Equipment» Structure» Other loose items

7 RISK AWARENESS DROPPED OBJECTS» Dropped Object Causes» Elements:» Environmental (wind, rain, snow, sea motion)» Corrosion or other deterioration» Vibration» Body effects (sweaty or numb hands, fatigue)» Worker or Equipment Generated:» Tripping or colliding» Poor housekeeping» Not following procedures» Miscalculations and poor design» Missed or inadequate inspections» Homemade tools and equipment

8 RISK AWARENESS HOUSEKEEPING» Poor housekeeping» Unorganized // unclean workplace» Unnecessary movement and time at height» Cords laying across walkways, platforms, etc.» Foreign material concerns

9 RISK AWARENESS EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTATION» Improper equipment transport» Not maintaining 3 points of contact» Overloading a climber» Physical toll on body» Exceeding fall protection capacity» Overflowing containers» Using improper rated containers

10 COSTS OF NOT TAKING ACTION: INJURY OR FATILITY DAMAGE LOST PRODUCTIVITY

11 » Dropped Objects» Struck by falling object (worker or bystander)» Falls from height COSTS INJURY OR FATALITY» Gut reaction trying to catch falling object» Tool pulling worker down with it if tethered improperly» Poor housekeeping and transport» Slips, trips and falls (same level or from height)» Sprains and strains» Struck by falling objects

15 » Dropped objects can cause damage to» The Dropped Item Itself» An Object Below» The Structure Being Worked On» Equipment From Foreign Objects» The Environment COSTS DAMAGE

16 COSTS LOST PRODUCTIVITY» Lost productivity can result from» Work stoppage to investigate a near miss.» Descending back down and climbing back up.

17 REGULATION & STANDARDS

18 » United States: OSHA» Scaffolds: (h) falling object protection» Fall Protection: (c) "Protection from falling objects"» Steel Erection: (a) Securing loose items aloft» General Duty Clause» Washington: WAC » (2) Fall Protection Work Plan REGULATIONS DROPPED OBJECTS» (iv) Describe the proper procedures for the handling, storage, and securing of tools and materials;» (v) Describe the method of providing overhead protection for workers who may be in, or pass through the area below the worksite; *USA Department of Labor OSHA 1926: *Washington State Legislature:

19 » United States: OSHA REGULATIONS EQUIPMENT TRANSPORTATION» Ladders : requirements state the following:» (11) Each employee faces the ladder when climbing up or down it;» (12) Each employee uses at least one hand to grasp the ladder when climbing up and down it; and» (13) No employee carries any object or load that could cause the employee to lose balance and fall while climbing up or down the ladder. Final Rule to Update General Industry Walking-Working Surfaces and Fall Protection Standards; OSHA - U.S. Department of Labor

20 EQUIPMENT STANDARDS» ANSI/ISEA 121» Standard for Dropped Objects Prevention Solutions» Includes active controls» Tool attachments» Tool lanyards» Containers (buckets, pouches)» Does not include Passive Controls (toeboards) or PPE (hard hats, etc.)

21 CONTROLS & BEST PRACTICE

22 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS

23 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT {PPE}» Definition» Secondary Protection Solutions» Protects/covers the worker or deflects an object after it has fallen» Examples:» Hard Hats, Steel Toe Boots, Eyewear, Hand Protection

24 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS

25 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS» Definition» Changing behavior» Awareness & Communication» Signs, Stickers, Barricade Tape» Tool Box Talks» Training, Training, Training!» Policies & Procedures» Checklists (Pre, During, Post Job)» Red Areas or Drop Zones» Hoisting vs Carrying Procedures

26 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS AWARENESS & EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS

37 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS

38 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS ENGINEERING CONTROLS» Passive Engineering Controls» Toe Boards, Netting, Guarding, Barricading, Secondary Retention

39 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS ENGINEERING CONTROLS» Active Engineering Controls» Attachments, Lanyards, Topped Containers

40 ENGINEERING CONTROLS ACTIVE SOLUTIONS: THE 3 T s OF O@H SAFETY» Trapped» Creates an attachment point on tools that do not have one built in.» Tethered» Prevents object from falling by securing to a worker or other anchor point.» Topped» Cover buckets, pouches, and other containers to avoid spilling their contents.

41 // TRAPPED

42 THE SOLUTION A COMPLETE TETHERING SYSTEM

43 // TETHERED

44 TETHERED» Tool Lanyards» Know the type of lanyard needed to do the job.

45 // TOPPED

46 TOPPED» Carrying» Pouches & Bags» Avoid spilling contents when bending, twisting, or reaching

47 TOPPED» Hoisting» Buckets & bags» Secure contents if container tips over or catches while in transit 5653T 5760T 5843
