Keeping In Shape ~ ACP Safety Meeting

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Staying in shape is one subject that is rarely discussed when safety is the topic. However, a person who stays in good physical condition is less likely to be involved in an accident. They are usually more alert, less subject to the adverse effects of weather and generally able to react more quickly to changing conditions on the job. That is why this is an important subject.

Guide for Discussion:

Staying in Shape Reduces Injuries by:

  • Reducing the effect that adverse weather has on your body.

  • Reducing the effect of minor injuries. A body in good condition will usually repair itself much

    faster.

  • Substantially reducing exposure to minor sprains, strains and muscle pulls. Most people in

    good shape rarely strain or pull muscles.

  • Cutting down the exposure to normal illnesses. The percentages of those people who are in

    good shape getting colds and the flu are lower. A person in good shape can better fight the

    germs causing the illnesses.

  • Being more alert to job site conditions.

    How To Stay In Shape:

    Exercise regularly.
    Eat right.
    Get plenty of rest.
    Avoid overindulging in sweets, alcohol or food.
    Diet when needed to maintain recommended body weight.
    Avoid smoking. Smoking cuts down circulation making cold colder, hot hotter, and injury
    recovery longer.

    • The importance of eating breakfast; having a snack around mid-morning to be alert. • Insert Company Policy on smoking on the job.

    Remember: Few people will dispute the fact that when you physically feel good, your attitude is also good. You are able to avoid illness and can react quicker to dangerous situations. It is far better on your body to stay in shape since it places less strain on your muscles and your heart. Keeping in good shape makes good sense, and good sense is the cornerstone to safety.

Safety Is Common Sense ~ ACP Safety Meeting

0 Comments

Read Now
 
According to safety professionals, four of five serious injuries are the result of workers not being sensible on the job and taking unnecessary chances. Common sense on the job is irreplaceable. Most of us have worked around people that are accident prone. They aren’t jinxed; they aren’t very common sense smart. Today we want to talk about using common sense to avoid accidents in the workplace.

Guide for Discussion

Common Sense “Smarts”

Always wear the proper personal protective equipment.
Don’t over exert yourself – get help with heavy tasks.
Don’t over extend yourself when on ladders – and risk losing your balance. Always use the proper tool for the job.
Concentrate on your work.
Look for unsafe acts or unsafe working conditions – and then report them. Watch out for others – remember you are part of a team.


Ask the following questions before you begin to work:

Are the conditions safe to do the work?
Are the methods we are going to use safe?
Does everyone know what to do?
Does everyone know how to do it?
Can I fall, get struck by, get caught between or under, or get electrocuted on this job?


Remember: By remembering and following common sense rules and by asking yourself about the conditions, methods, job site hazards and knowing what to do, you should be able to decrease your chances of being injured. Be “common sense smart” and prevent accidents, not cause them.

Accident/Incident Reporting ~ ACP Safety Meeting

1 Comment

Read Now
 
Before you start to talk, determine who the accident or incident information should be reported to (don’t forget the ACP Safety Committee) and who will fill out the Injury Report in the company office.

The following points should be covered in discussing the importance of reporting and investigating accidents, incidents or near miss accidents:

Guide for Discussion

Always report any accidents or near misses to Employer.

Any injuries needing first aid or medical attention should be reported to Employer.

What employees do in the case of an emergency (first aid and calling for an ambulance)?

Where is the nearest hospital? What is the nearest cross street? (Note: Discuss the information necessary to direct an ambulance to the worksite.)

Who are the first aid qualified people on the job site?
Anyone witnessing an accident should report what he or she saw to Employer.


All accidents involving medical treatment should have an investigation conducted to determine the cause.

Remember: Always report any unsafe condition or unsafe acts, no matter how minor, to your Employer. It’s far better to prevent accidents than it is to report, investigate, deal with the workers’ compensation carrier, and have the loss of a valuable employee.

Listening Safety ~ ACP Safety Meeting

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Nearly all construction sites are filled with various sounds and noises. Each sound we hear is the result of an action of a worker using a tool or a piece of equipment. In nearly every case, a tool or piece of equipment will signal its breakdown by a change in the normal operating sound. Everyone on site should condition himself or herself to be able to pick up these advance warning signals even when wearing ear plugs or earmuffs. Your individual safety could easily be dependent on your ability to hear approaching danger.

Guide for Discussion
Things Decreasing Listening Safety


Over concentration on work
Lack of sleep
Improper over eating habits
Use of alcohol or drugs (both legal and illegal) 

Poor work place ventilation
Loud radio’s; individual radio with ear plugs

How to Improve Listening Safety Habits

Become acquainted with the proper operational sounds of equipment and tools Listen closely to instructions. Ask questions if instructions are unclear or confusing Stay alert

Remember: Although it may be easier to see danger than it is to hear it, your ears are able to perceive warning signals from all around you. Your eyes are only good in the direction you are looking. Fine tune your ears and you can fine tune your exposure to danger and injury.
