This system will give a presentation of district policies and regulations, and will incorporate assessing the district’s composed safety and claims management techniques. The introduction may as well incorporate a tour of the facilities to familiarize the representative with the whole processing. The worker can additionally be informed regarding their job performance adequacy level.

Procedure: The working on-duty supervisor of the employee will furnish job particular security training, coating all parts of the security project as it identifies with every employee and their appointed duties. The relevant training can be commented on a “Safety Orientation” checklist. Both the employee and supervisor will attest, demonstrating that introduction was done effectively. The definitive sign-off sheet could be sent to the office for document position and supervisors will hold a duplicate for their bureau documents.

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

A. Purpose: If we observe the situation of any accident, we’ll be able to find that it was a due to a sequel of interconnected reasons, and there is also a sign of possibility that if we identify this series of consequential reasons, we could reduce accidents. Even if we try to vanish a single reason, we might be able to halt the whole event.

b. On account of a casualty, or depending on if one or more employees are hospitalized, the supervisor will urgently report the accident to the closest office of the Department of Labor and Industries, telephone number 1-800-423-7233 within a deadline of eight hours after the mishap has happened. The accomplished report ought to identify the conditions, the number of fatalities and the degree of any damages. Note: If there is some sort of gear included in an accident bringing about a prompt casualty is not to be moved until an agent of the Department of Labor and Industries researches the accident and authorizes its evacuation. In the event that, be that as it may, it is essential to move the gear to avert extra accidents or to evacuate the one who faced the situation, the gear may be moved as needed.

4. “Near Misses” – (likelihood of personal injury or property damage) to the maximum limit in real, every single “near-miss” mishaps should be researched by the administrator/supervisor or safety committee agent. Documentation can be made on the
Supervisor’s Report of Investigation form
. A “near-miss” mishap is characterized as an unplanned occasion where harm came, yet there was no private injury to workers, or where harm did not come about however the probability of private injury to the worker was extraordinary. In such event, the conditions that allowed the “near-miss” or “close-call” to exist are not halted, they can further press on to be an issue, which might bring about mishaps or alternately private injury to the employee(s) in coming period.

SAFETY AND HEALTH EDUCATION TRAINING

A. Purpose: In order to enhance the level of responsiveness or the workers and employees in relevance to the mishaps based on routine issues, the provision of currently running modules on safety and health awareness will be ensured.

INJURY AND ILLNESS PROCEDURES

Purpose: Under the principles of federal & state that have been accepted, notes about the work-related harms and medical issues are recorded. On yearly basis they’re dispatched so the employees and the workers could be notified about the various types of disorders and the harms that could occur at certain workplaces.

Procedure: A fractional exclusion has been provided to educational institutes in maintaining the accounts on necessity of controlling the job-relevant physical mishaps and medical issues. There might be a chance that the district is nominated to intrude in a feedback program based on statistics collection. In this scenario, US dept. of Labor will inform the district about the nomination of the previous year in relevance to the survey conducted for the purpose of acquiring the information.

Injury and Illness Reporting

Purpose: In order to provide every worker a chance to inform and record without any tension of indirect punishment, about any action that is not good for others or similar situations too.

Procedure: It is to inform that workers are required to provide information to the on-duty supervisor or directly to the safety committee. Information about any danger should be delivered in any form whether it is written or even verbal. On specific harms, it is the duty of the supervisor along their safety committee to analyze, check a then take relevant step to eliminate it. In case of battement for the harm, the originator will be reported about every step for that purpose. In the notes of meeting done by the safety committee, all those steps taken for eliminating any harm would be codified.

Injury and Illness COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM

Purpose: The reason to initiate a Program for District Hazard Communications is to ensure all the workers are reported about the harms that could be caused due to chemicals and relevant products that are utilized in the workplaces.

Procedure: It is must for the workers to get trained in their initial introductory training session under the District Hazard Communication Program that is to be conducted by a supervisor. Employees and workers would be reported frequently on the harms and dangers because of any contact with the products that are being utilized in the production process. In order to present the major hazards that can be dangerous medically, including the ailment provided by first aid, the necessary elements and tools required for personal precautionary measures and all those steps to control a mishap; a Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) would be utilized. A session of training would be delivered by the victims and specialized personnels whenever a new item is to be introduced in the workplace. In that specific workplace all data regarding the MSDS sheets would be stored and updated.

Hazard Communication Program (HAZCOM)

This district is dedicated to the avoidance of exposures that bring about harm or alternately sickness; and to follow all appropriate state health and safety standards. To verify that workers ponder informative data concerning the dangers of all risky chemicals utilized by the district, the accompanying dangerous chemical communication program has been made.

List of hazardous chemicals

A record of afflict unsafe chemicals is kept in the front of the MSDS folder at every destination. There must be enough informative content on the record to match every substance to its MSDS. The record is upgraded every year, and old records are continued record at the area office. Chronicled records for every destination could be documented by year or in other case, demonstrate dates of utilization of every substance. 30 years is the duration of storage for stored data.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

In case for each unsafe chemical during that time frame the chemical is gotten, an MSDS could be acquired. No chemical could be collected for storage or utilized without an MSDS.

Duplicates of MSDS for all risky chemicals in utilization could be kept in the locale MSDS manual and at the office of the district. Depending on if any vehicle customarily conveys a perilous chemical (for support, cleaning, and so forth.) an MSDS could be upheld in the vehicle for the perilous chemical conveyed. MSDS could be ready to all workers throughout every work movement.

The regional office will keep a duplicate of all MSDS for no less than thirty years. The aforementioned records are cushion of the presentation records. The records, which incorporate the chemical record by year, must portion the chemical, where it was utilized and when it was within utilization.

Container Labeling

There should be easily understandable tags and labels on the containers of the dangerous chemicals. Labels must have:

1. The name of the chemical or common name (adequate information for finding the MSDS) and

2. General information regarding the health and physical vulnerabilities of the chemical.

Whenever it would be probable, only the originally labeled container will be utilized. In a condition if it is not possible to read the original label, it would be changed and replaced.

Whenever an amount of material is moved into a non-labeled container for utilization, it ought to be just in an amount that could be utilized throughout the movement by the individual making the exchange. In the event that the chemical is kept in the compartment till the shift ends, it must be labeled.

Assuming that amounts of materials are to be utilized as a part of compartments other than the definitive labeled container they must be plainly labeled.

No containers can be kept without a name precisely portraying the elements.

Employee information and Training

It would be ensured by the supervisor that every worker and employee should show his or her presence in the introductory program of safety and health before they get to work, they should also be delivered the necessary information about every chemical that relevantly they might get exposed to at the location of work:

· An overview of the requirements contained in the Hazard Communication Standard;

· Hazardous chemicals present at his or her work places;

· Physical and health risks of the hazardous chemical; The symptoms of overexposure;

· How to determine the presence or release of hazardous chemicals in his or her work area;

· How to reduce or prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals through use of control procedures, work practices, and personal protective equipment;

· Steps the employer has taken to reduce or prevent exposure to hazardous chemicals;

· Procedures to follow if employees are overexposed to hazardous chemicals;

· How to read labels and review MSDS to obtain hazard information; and

· The location of the MSDS binder and written hazard communication program.

It would be ensured by the Supervisor that every employee should receive the updated training session in case of change in the usage of chemicals.

Safety Guidelines

1. Building Administrators and Supervisors

a. Maintain a list of hazardous chemicals used or stored in their work area.

b. Submit new material safety data sheets (MSDS) to the MSDS manager for database inclusion.

c. Obtain/maintain copies of (MSDS), as required, for each hazardous chemical used or stored I work areas and make the accessible to employees during each work shift.

d. Review MSDS received to make sure it is current and complete. If an MSDS appears to be outdated or incomplete, send a letter to the manufacturer requesting a current and complete MSDS.

e. Make this written Hazard Communication Program available, upon request, to all employees.

2. Supervisors

a. Ensure hazardous chemicals are properly labeled.

b. Ensure that all new chemicals introduced or used in work areas under their responsibility have MSDSs readily accessible and inform employees of these locations.

c. Ensure that employees under their supervision who work with hazardous chemicals and/or whose work area contains hazardous chemicals receive the general hazard communication training when hired, and receive work area specific training prior to their initial assignment of working with and/or being exposed to hazardous chemical(s) in work area. This includes any new chemical hazards introduced in the work area subsequent to initial training, those associated with non-routine tasks, and those introduced by non-District personnel (subcontractors, vendors, etc.).

d. Ensure that employees are training in use of any recommended PPE and they use it as instructed.

3. MSDS manager

a. Maintains a district-wide file of material safety data sheets (i.e., the master file) for all hazardous chemicals on each site (see also Subcontractors).

b. Maintains a list of all hazardous chemicals (i.e., the master list) used and stored on site in a central computer file (see also Subcontractors).

c. Provides a summary of this Hazard Communication Program to subcontractors who will perform work onsite. This may be accomplished by attachment to the contract or at pre-construction meetings.

d. Archives the chemical lists and MSDS from prior years, so that the district has records, which include the chemical list by year and which detail the chemical, where it was used and when it was in use.

4. Human Resources

a. Develops and presents general hazard communication training material.

b. Provides all new employees with general hazard communication training.

5. MSDS Manager, Building Administrators and Supervisors

a. Ensures containers of chemicals received, distributed, or transferred to other containers have the appropriate hazard communication labeling.

b. Forwards MSDSs received with shipments to MSDS manager for further distribution.

6. Subcontractors

a. Because the district uses and stores hazardous chemicals on-site in a way that the employees of other employer(s) may be exposed (for example, employees of a construction subcontractor working on-site), the program manager shall enclose a summary of this Hazard Communication Program in subcontracts involving work on site. Alternatively, this summary may be provided to subcontractors in pre- construction meetings.

b. Contractors performing work on-site shall include a copy of their hazard communication program in their site safety and health plan if they intend to bring any hazardous chemicals to the premises. MSDSs for these hazardous chemicals shall be maintained by the subcontractor and be made available to district staff upon request.

b. If applicable, science teachers will comply with the Laboratory Chemical Hygiene Plan.

8. All Employees.

a. All employees shall attend district Hazard Communication training and become familiar with the program and the location of the chemical list and material safety data sheets. Employees will become familiar with the hazards of chemicals they work with and will not use new chemicals until they have reviewed the MSDS and reviewed the hazards with their supervisor.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS

Purpose: In order to provide notification to all employees regarding the appropriate activities that should be done in case of crisis.

Procedure: Supervisors will accompany a training session in the beginning that will comprise a learning session on all the recommended activities required in a state of crisis. The policies that are developed for state of crisis will be delivered to employees in reference to every position in the workplace.

At the principal site or at the coordinator of office operations, all relevant plan programs that could assist in emergency in relevance to specific location, are found.

HAZARDOUS ENERGY CONTROL PROGRAM (lockout/tag out)

Purpose: The main reason to develop this module is check the all necessary things in case of exclusion or tag out of all resources that provide energy. In order to evaluate all the machineries and equipments, that they don’t emit energy that is dangerous and is also tagged out before they are brought in use by the workers, especially during maintenance procedure, in such scenario it is ensured machine might not emit the stored form of energy that could be dangerous, keeping in view such module is developed.

Procedure: In the training session to be delivered under the control of supervisor in the beginning, all the workers would be trained well about all practices regarding the lockout and tag out so they could be aware of its importance. This program is designed for every new or transferred employee who has to deal especially in that relevant machinery area, so would be informed and trained about the lockout and tag out practices.

Lockout/Tag out Program

Purpose

The main goal of enabling this program is to diminish or tag out those machineries that emit energy. Especially it will evaluate and guarantee that there is no dangerous quantum of energy emitting form any kind of tool of machine working around, and also would check that those machines and tools are locked or tag out before they are been repaired or tunes by the employees as that energy could be injurious at igniting point or from emitted from the storage even.

Responsibility

It is our duty to inform all the employees about the necessity of to be secure by lockout or any tag out practice. A training for the purpose of informing about the lockout or tag out program would be delivered to all employees that are new to this workspace whether they are recently hired or transferred including the current one also.

Preparation for Lockout or Tag out

In order to carry this program an analysis needs to be conducted that will spot and detect all those equipment, levers and valves that emit energy and that are need to be locked out or tagged out. In this process there might be more than one energy sources be involved as electrical, mechanical, etc.

Sequence of Lockout or Tag out Procedure

· Inform all the working employees about the usage and the linked motive about the lockout or tag out module. It is the ole duty of the authorized employees to recognize the category and quantum of energy that is emitted by a specific machinery or any equipment that is in use, so they could also be aware about its dangers.

· Such machine should be turned off in normal way, if it is found to be working. In such condition all the levers, valves or relevant equipment should be powered down so it remains disconnected from its power supply. Changing the position, blocking or bleeding is a safe methodology for stored energy in (springs, elevated machine members, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam or water pressure) so that they could be degenerated or halted.

· Individually locks and tags should be applied to Lockout or tag out, those devices that emit quantum of energy.

· A push button or any normal operating method should be deployed to check that the energy supply is turned off and so that the employees also not get exposed to such energy. CAUTION:

All operating controls should be neutralized to off side after the evaluation period.

· Now the energy is unable to reach the machinery.

Restoring Machines or Equipment to Normal Production

· After the fixing or tuning are done right and supplies are prepared for typical production practices, area around the machine should be evaluated in order to guarantee that no one is exposed to that.

· After all apparatuses have been evacuated from the machine or supplies, guards should be placed as per requirement and employees are free to move, eliminate all lockout/tag out mechanisms to again regulate the supply of energy to the machine or gears.

Procedure Involving More Than One Person

In the former steps, if more than one person is solicited for the purpose of lockout or tag-out the gears, every should spot and place their particular private lockout unit on the supply of energy that distinguishes for the device(s.) In case if a quantum of energy secluding apparatus can’t receive various locks or tags, a different lockout or tag-out gadget (hasp) may be utilized. Provided that lockout is utilized, only one lock might be utilized to lockout the machine or gear with the crux being set inside the lockout box or cabin that permits the utilization of many different bolts to secure it. Every employee will then use their particular bolt to provide security to the crate or the cabin. As every individual no longer should support their single lockout security, that individual will uproot their lock from the crate or the cabin.

Lost Key Procedure

In case of losing or forgetting the placement of the key that is designed for the lockout, the in charge officer should be informed instantly. There are two keys, one that would be with the machine and the other is the master one that is under the possession of the in charge officer. The key should be always with those employees who work in lock out service.

Removal of Lockout Tag out Equipment by Others

In case of neglecting done by the individual who locks out the apparatus in the beginning but forgets about the padlock before he leaves the workplace, following should be done:

· A complete assessment of the work area by the in-charge or the administration to protect the individuals who did introductory lock out/tag out techniques should be protected and uninjured.

· In the state of urgency, contact the representative’s habitation to verify their well-being and the area, and also verification should be done to check depending on if they did or did not finish the allotted undertaking or assuming that they unintentionally spurned to uproot the lock out signs and padlock.

· These two steps need to be finished when the in-charge officer accountable for the master key might uproot the lock out marks or padlock(s.)

· A record of this event ought to be kept and the lock out/tag out systems evaluated by the worker. Ongoing disciplinary activity ought to be taken if i seems to be necessary.

Basic Rules for Using Lockout or Tag out System

All supplies might be locked out or tagged out to ensure the possibility of any accident or coincidental injurious operation, when such operation might damage our personnel. DO NOT ATTEMPT to manage any lever, valve, or other power isolating equipment, when it is locked or tagged out.

Personnel Authorized to Lockout Tag out

All Facilities Maintenance personnel with Lockout/Tag out training

Training

· In the effective deployment of this complete module, all of the working employees should be taught in best practices.

· All the trained employees would be certified along a manifest with their names and date of training.

Periodic Review

These practices would be evaluated and audited after each year.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Purpose: In order to keep employees equipped with the protection toolkit, while they are working in such place that could be harmful physically.

Procedure: Under the control of on duty in charge officer, the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) will be given to all employees if required, while they are under the starter introductory lesson and the safety training. The lesson would include the issuing, necessity of utilizing, how to handle with care and finally tuning of PPE. In order to evaluate the necessity of PPE in the workplace a survey would be conducted and its results would be stored in a file.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) PROGRAM

It is the sole duty of the administrators to evaluate the dangers prevalent in each task and the required PPE for those dangers required on the job. A formal verbal certification should be narrated after the survey of dangers and required PPE for them, should contain the location and name of the site of work, authorized person assigning and he date of issue. Whenever any task is about to start or there is any variation in the terms or conditions, required tools or practices, this certification should be prepared. Hazard Assessment Certification form should be evaluated then and its duplicate will also be delivered to the relevant employee.

· Under the lesson given by the in charge officer, it is necessary to wear PPE so work could be done safely.

· There would be no expenses on the employee side of furnishing the PPE to them.

· Under the instruction provided by the vendor, it is the duty of the employees to tune and maintain the PPE, check them before any usage and on certain condition new equipment of PPE could be claimed.

· The availability of required PPE to the workers, they know how to handle and use that equipment with care and the PPE usage is must for them, is to be ensured by the in charge officer.

Hand Protection – (Glove Policy)

The most known form of PPE is Hand Gloves.

All employees are outfitted for single-use disposable nitrile or vinyl gloves on the off chance that they ought to be solicited to furnish emergency treatment or tidy up after damage.

Supervisory, service, and yard crews are outfitted suitable gloves to ensure the safety from materials they handle and for the security opposite chemicals and cleaning fuses which might harm employees “skin”.

Kitchen laborers are outfitted to use suitable gloves to be safe from cuts when utilizing blades and fire while cooking.

Service department employees who are deployed in or very near to the electric supplies (i.e. testing, troubleshooting), can be outfitted to wear electrical gloves and defenders. Employees are to accompany with the Electrical Safety Program.

Eye & Face Protection

Before the start of work here with a potential presentation to unsafe materials/chemicals, the closest eyewash might be distinguished and informed about that to all.

Protection glasses (ANSI Z87.1approved) could be worn whenever doing errands where particles might hit the eyes. Exceptional eye danger work ranges (such as welding, torch work, lasers etc.) ought to be known by the administration and proper eye protection should be ensured. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) affirmed that proper eye wear ought to be worn over prescribed glasses for access to task work zones until permanent protective eye-wear could be acquired.

Goggles ought to be worn if there’s possibility of fine particles or chemical based dangers. Guests entertained at our client dealing zones where eye insurance is needed, should be given verified goggles or glasses.

Face shields ought to be worn while grinding process and using acids, various dangerous industrial chemicals, or even in case of molten liquids/grease that might sprinkle.

Face shields could also be kept in use while doing cleansing of the slicks of blood or on those apparatus that might have risk of getting sprinkle on face.

FIRST AID

A.
Purpose: In order to ensure that every employee is made an immediate and right first aid treatment in case of an injury that is on duty.

B.
Procedure:

1. First Aid Training

It is necessary for all the supervisors and any individual who is directly leading others, should attain the training of First aid and its accreditation. In order to ensure the presence of an authorized employee who knows first aid is present around the site of working, a learning session would be delivered to adequate number of employees. The training session that is given to other relevant institutional employees is inclusive of:

It is the employee’s responsibility to attend first aid certification training if selected by the supervisor.

2. First Aid Kits

On every facilitation point, the kits that contain equipment for first aid will be conserved and the Safety Bulletin Board would show the notifications about these points, and while the introductory session would be going on these notifications would be shown to all employees. In order to signify the point were the first aid kit would be provided a board will be placed if their presence is not clearly seen by employees.

If we don’t mention the previously considered cases, where some other individual is assigned, the construction principal or the administrator of the site is assigned to check and verify that the first aid kits are legitimately retained and supplied.

The phone numbers required in situation of crisis and practical approach for emergency could be deliberately displayed, for example on the first aid kit, at telephones, on the safety bulletin board and at different zones where it is suitable.

WAC 296-800-150 First-aid kit guidance

SAMPLE: First-aid Kit Contents

(a) 1 absorbent compress, 4×8 inches

(b) 16 adhesive bandages, 1×3 inches

(d) 10 antiseptic single-use packages, 0.5g application

(e) 6 burn treatment single-use packages, 0.5g application

(f) 1 eye covering (for two eyes)

(g) 1 eye wash, 1 fluid ounce

(h) 4 sterile pads, 3×3 inches

(i) 2 pair of medical exam gloves

(j) 1 triangular bandage, 39x39x55 inches

(k) Disposable rubber (vinyl) gloves

(l) CPR Micro-shield (sterile, disposable)

Optional First-aid Kit Contents

(a) Bandage compresses, 2×2 inches, 3×3 inches and 5×5 inches

(b) Self-activating cold packs, 4×5 inches

(d) Mouth-to-mouth barrier for CPR

Note: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) or other consensus national standard kits will meet these requirements. Employers should consider the type of hazards at each work site (physical, chemical, biological, number of employees, and local emergency response providers to determine the quantities of first aid supplies.

In each kit that is used for first aid purpose, two additional items i.e. a CPR Micro-shield which should be antiseptic and made to dispose after single-use, and a pair of single-use gloves made from vinyl should be retained.

In order to defend the institutional employees from the fluids leaking from certain bodies like blood, urine, vomit, mucus, vaginal discharge, etc. , pair of gloves that are for single-use should be supplied to them.

The people who provide assistance the students in those locations where there is less probability of first aid kits presence like Play Ground in charges, crossing Guards, bus drivers, mentors & coaches, Club advisors, etc. In order to retain and evaluate the first kit, the safety provided by gloves should be utilized. If the situation is demanding the usage of additional tools that provide further safety like aprons and eye splash protector, should be arranged. (e.g., day care workers, bus drivers and handicapped student instructors and aides).

It is the duty of school supervisors that these tools are for the usage of employees only.

HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM

Purpose: In order to provide safety to employees at those levels where there noise is disturbing and dangerous for their hearing capability and to save them from permanent hearing loss. Under the prescription of OSHA and the Washington State Department of Industrial Safety and Health, this module is developed only to deliver safety to those employees who have to get job done in those regions where the level of noise is disturbing for them.

Procedure: In order to distinguish any zone or the task assigned that might enhance the Time Weighted Average (TWA) of 85db, the frequency level of noise more than 115db or any spontaneous or even the effect of the frequency that was determined to be more than 140db should be evaluated through an analysis of that district facilitation point and the task assigned, under the WAC 296-62 Part K.

Getting beyond the limit set by the standards by listening to a noise for a frequent time period could be dangerous for the sense of hearing. The distinguishing of points and regions where the frequency of noise increases and the monitoring of the regulations, is inclusive in our strategy, which also includes the reduction of the facing to these levels of sound through mechanical and managerial practices. The mechanical and managerial practices directly never reduce these level effectively, but the provision of PPE inclusive of tools that are for safety for the hearing can do this and would be subsequently delivered on necessity.

Job Hazard Assessment and Sound Level Surveys

It is the sole duty of the administrators to evaluate the dangers in the working sites and to pass solutions for them. A research analysis to document the results with the deployment of a sound level meter is recommended for those areas where the level of noise is disturbing for the employees ((where you would need to raise your voice to be heard at a 3 foot distance). On the basis of hearing Conservation Program and the audiometric testing, the employees working at these regions would be admitted in relevance to the analysis concluded from the survey.

It is must to inform the employees about the survey that is being conducted for them and for others to practically face that situation. After the consequences are developed from the survey, it would be delivered to the employees within 5 working days.

The area would be declared by displaying notice or employees would be delivered and enforced to wear the protective tools for hearing under TWA8, if the observation tells that the workspace has sound level continuously above than 85db, at 115db it would not be a rapid reaction but on 140db it could be. Those employees who got an impact of such sound would be admitted in the Hearing Conservation Program.

Employees

It is the sole duty of all the relevant employees to inform about the locations and tasks that are the cause of the production of loud noise frequency and as a safety they should wear PPE as prescribed by their in charge officer.

Preventing Hearing Loss

Frequent hearing to such noise can result in the loss of hearing ability, which could also be prohibited. If an adequate hearing conservation program is managed, could be beneficial in those scenarios where level and frequency of the sound is more than 85db.

Engineering Controls

Management control is deployed in scenarios when the employees have to work in situations where level of sound is more than 85db. It is inclusive of:

· Maintenance of machinery to reduce noise level.

· Modification of equipment.

· Substitution of equipment.

· Isolation from the noise source.

· Installation of acoustical material to absorb noise.

If the above given practices are unable to diminish the frequency of the sound, PPE and relevant practices can be deployed and utilized.

Administrative Controls

Management controls are deployed and utilized whenever the level and frequency of the sound is found more than 85db, which is inclusive of:

· Rotation of employees.

· Limitation of time for exposure to operation.

· Restricted area of work operation.

Types of Hearing Protection

There are several types of hearing protection available:

· Disposable ear plugs.

· Reusable ear plugs, custom fit.

· Ear canals.

· Ear muffs.

The goal behind the usage of these tools is not to eliminate the sound at all, it only prevents the ear to listen the disturbing level of frequency, in other words the sound that is not required to hear. If the cumulative frequency of the sound is reduced, the vocals and the precautionary signs could be easily perceived. With the assistance of environment of the workspace and the individual demands, the safety for hearing is devised. The equipment that is desired should be worn effectively and frequently in order to make hearing safe.

It is prescribed to carry two types of hearing protection devices when the employee has to get the task done on various sites or with different tools which have differentiating level of sound.

· Disposable foam ear plugs.

· Ear muffs.

It depends that the employee working should use foam plugs only or should wear the ear muffs, when the two levels of safety equipment for hearing are present, and if in such scenario the level of sound is very harsh both equipment can be utilized. This is useful as it delivers the employee a safety for hearing in variety of workspaces.

Hearing Protection Training and Record Keeping

The presence of those employees is necessary in the hearing conservation program and the learning session in relevance to safety for hearing, whose working in noisy environment of more than 85db is more than 8-hour time-weighted average (TWAB).

On the requisition of a presenter from the side of the employee to the Specialist of Worker’s Compensation the essential learning and training guide including the safety equipment from the noise level would be delivered. Inside the Human resources department the record of the audiogram and experience to the sound as a Performa of the employee, and this would be delivered to the representative or the employee himself on a request.

The data from observation about the sound levels and their evaluations, consequences of the research made on sound level, any extra ordinary practice involved and the deployment of mechanical controls would be recorded and will updated frequently.

Audiometric Testing and Oversight

It is the sole duty of the district to arrange a verified audiologist, otolaryngologist, or even any well-educated medical specialist for all the employees in the relevant hearing conservation program for the evaluation of the audiometric and to analyze the whole module. Only an authorized medical specialist or any engineer verified by the Council of Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC) to test all the audiograms along with a well-educated analyst.

CONFINED SPACE PROGRAM

Purpose: In order to develop the safety and the health of all institutional employees, this program is designed, and it also focuses on those who have to do tasks in restricted zones especially for maintenance, tune-ups and such relevant causes.

The Washington Administrative Code WAC 296-62 Part M administers the regulations for working at restricted zones, Its goal is to define some limits and standards that could be followed while entering the restricted zones and also become practice for the protection, task completion and leaving that zone.

These restricted zones are distinguished and signaled as “permit-required,” “controlled hazards only” or “non-permit-required” confined space.

Procedures: In order to administer, develop, going inside or being present in those restricted zones, it is the duty of the personnel in the district so that the employees would be given a learning session which would be inclusive in their assignment but more preferable than it.

It is the responsibility of the district to distinguish and signal the cautionary indications at all restricted zones within the premises of the institutions.

Included in this policy there is a list which distinguishes those regions that are defined as permit-required zones and their positions inside the district premises, and along with the dangers at each restricted region.

Definitions

A restricted zone is a region that is limited as:

· Is large enough for an employee to enter;

· Has limited or restricted means of entry or exit (for example, tanks, vaults, wells, Tunnels, pits, manholes, catch basins); and

· Is not designed for continuous human occupancy.

A permit-required confined space (PRCS) is a restricted space that:

· Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere;

· Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant;

· Has an inside configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls, or a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section;

· Contains any other recognized serious hazards.

The point from which an individual appointed passes through into a region that is restricted and required a license is known as an Entry.

An entry permit is the written or printed document that is provided to allow and control entry into a permit space.

Engulfment is the surrounding, capturing, or both, of an entrant by divided particulate matter or liquid.

A hazardous atmosphere is one that may expose employees to risk of death or incapacitation, injury or illness by reason of oxygen deficiency or enrichment (less than 1 9.5o/o or greater than 23o/o oxygen by volume), flammability, explosive, or toxicity.

The zone that has specifications that seems to be like of a restricted region but if any research is analyzed done on it narrates that it is not harmful to the environment, even it is not dangerous in physical terms, is known as a Non-Permit Confined Space.

All Supervisors and employees will follow these rules:

· Supervisors shall ensure that all employees who may enter or work around confined spaces have confined space awareness training

· Prior to any entry of a permit or non-permit confined space a hazards assessment will be made and the space classified.

· To conduct an evaluation of the space identify hazards, consider the scope of hazard exposure; magnitude of hazard; likelihood and consequences of hazard occurrence; changing conditions/activities; impact on the need for emergency response; testing will be conducted in the presence of entrants.

· Based on the evaluation of hazards, classify and list confined spaces as either permit-required or non-permit confined spaces.

· lf a permit is required; complete in detail the Confined Space Entry Permit.

· Expired and completed permits will be saved for 1 year and used to evaluate the confined space programs effectiveness.

Periodic Evaluation of Hazards

In relevance to the practical variations in the restricted region or any bodily or even any atmospheric situations that could impact the workspace heavily, a periodic re-evaluation would be done. In this case the information from the expired and finalized Confined Space Entry Permits would be utilized.

Marking of Confined Spaces

In order to make the employees working at restricted region fully aware, indications would be delivered or some other relevant cautionary signs would be utilized. “Danger. Permit-Required Confined Space. Do Not Enter” are the indicating narrations or stop signs or relevant means so that the non-verified personnel stay away from the permit required region.

Entry into Confined Spaces

EXCEPT UNDER APPROVED PERMIT, NO EMPLOYEE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER A PRCS.

In relevance to the Roadway and Traffic Design Standards and other Safety Standards an adequate control of the traffic, indicating signs and guards would be deployed so that they can be espoused in order to indicate those areas which are known as public passing regions.

If it is noticed by the Supervisor at Entry that the distinguished danger in the restricted zone is in relevance of environmental and air, and it can administer the dangers individually, in that scenario the passing into this region should be verified. In this scenario the practices prescribed by the other relevant safety should also be utilized.

Close enough to any open gutter, cable hose, sewerage, it should be tried to never bring any burning fire, torch or even lighted smoke equipment, in those regions especially, even is the analysis of that region clear that this region is not having any burnable gases, vapor or even fumes. Unless that region has been analyzed adequately with the detecting tools for the presence of volatile gases, oxygen deficiency and hydrogen sulfide, no employee should pass shortly from it.

Use of Safety Harness and Life Lines

It is necessary for all the workers who are assigned to enter the manholes, cable vaults, sewers or mines should wear some protection attachment or carry any life line. This life lie would be in connection to an adequate tool that could serve for the safety and also permits the retaining without any entry into that region. In those regions where the depth is more than four feet, a hard hat should always be worn. In order to release or call back the life line and to ensure the provision of support in state of crisis when entry is banned on requirement at any time when someone is working deep in the region, there should always be and expert outside.

These professionals who are in release or call back of the life line, should always keep effective communicating devices or even they should be able to communicate with those who are passing into it, even they should be able to get to them for providing them protection support or calling some assistance.

Introduction

SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY FOR XYZ COMPANY

XYZ COMPANY places a high value on the safety of its employees. XYZ COMPANY is committed to providing a safe workplace for all employees and has developed this program for injury prevention to involve management, supervisors, and employees in identifying and eliminating hazards that may develop during our work process.

It is the basic safety policy of this company that no task is so important that an employee must violate a safety rule or take a risk of injury or illness in order to get the job done. The time during which employees are participating in training and education activities shall be considered as hours worked for purposes of wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. The training and education shall be provided at no cost to the employees. Members of the Safety/Health Committee will be allowed reasonable time to exercise the rights of the committee without any loss of pay or benefits.

Employees are required to comply with all company safety rules and are encouraged to actively participate in identifying ways to make our company a safer place to work. Supervisors are responsible for the safety of their employees and as a part of their daily duties must check the workplace for unsafe conditions, watch employees for unsafe actions and take prompt action to eliminate any hazards.

Management will do its part by devoting the resources necessary to form a safety committee composed of management and elected employees. We will develop a system for identifying and correcting hazards. We will plan for foreseeable emergencies. We will provide initial and ongoing training for employees and supervisors. And, we will establish a disciplinary policy to insure that company safety policies are followed.

Letter From The President

The purpose of this policy is to create a high criterion of safety all the way through operations of XYZ Company, and to make certain that no employee is expected to work under any conditions, which are risky or unhygienic.

We know that each employee has the right to obtain personal satisfaction from their job and the prevention of occupational injury and illness is of such significance to this belief that it will be given top priority at all times.

It is our goal here at ZYX Company to begin and maintain complete accident prevention and safety training programs. Each distinct individual from upper management to the working person is accountable for the safety and health of those persons that are in charge and their coworkers around them, our employee’s.

Signed,

The Company President

• When a warning is issued by sirens or other means, seek inside shelter.

Consider the following:

– Small interior rooms on the lowest floor and without windows,

– Hallways on the lowest floor away from doors and windows, and

– Rooms constructed with reinforced concrete, brick, or block with no

windows.

• Stay away from outside walls and windows.

• Use arms to protect head and neck.

• Remain sheltered until the tornado threat is announced to be over.

Earthquake:

• Stay calm and await instructions from the Emergency Coordinator or the

designated official.

• Keep away from overhead fixtures, windows, filing cabinets, and electrical

power.

If outdoors:

• Climb to high ground and stay there.

• Avoid walking or driving through flood water.

• If car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to a higher ground.

Hurricane

:

• The nature of a hurricane provides for more warning than other natural

and weather disasters. A hurricane watch issued when a hurricane

becomes a threat to a coastal area. A hurricane warning is issued when

hurricane winds of 74 mph or higher, or a combination of dangerously high

water and rough seas, are expected in the area within 24 hours.

Once a hurricane watch has been issued:

• Stay calm and await instructions from the Emergency Coordinator or the
designated official.

• Moor any boats securely, or move to a safe place if time allows.

• Continue to monitor local TV and radio stations for instructions.

• Move early out of low-lying areas or from the coast, at the request of

officials.

• If you are on high ground, away from the coast and plan to stay, secure

the building, moving all loose items indoors and boarding up windows and

openings.

• Collect drinking water in appropriate containers.

Once a hurricane warning has been issued:

• Be ready to evacuate as directed by the Emergency Coordinator and/or
the designated official.

• Leave areas that might be affected by storm tide or stream flooding.

During a hurricane:

• Remain indoors and consider the following:

– Small interior rooms on the lowest floor and without windows,
– Hallways on the lowest floor away from doors and windows, and
– Rooms constructed with reinforced concrete, brick, or block with no
windows.

Blizzard:

If indoors:
• Stay calm and await instructions from the Emergency Coordinator or the
designated official.

• Stay indoors!

• If there is no heat:

– Close off unneeded rooms or areas.

– Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors.

– Cover windows at night.

• Eat and drink. Food provides the body with energy and heat. Fluids

prevent dehydration.

• Wear layers of loose-fitting, light-weight, warm clothing, if available.

If outdoors:

• Find a dry shelter. Cover all exposed parts of the body.

• If shelter is not available:

– Prepare a lean-to, wind break, or snow cave for protection from the

wind.

– Build a fire for heat and to attract attention. Place rocks around the

fire to absorb and reflect heat.

– Do not eat snow. It will lower your body temperature. Melt it first.

If stranded in a car or truck:

• Stay in the vehicle!

• Run the motor about ten minutes each hour. Open the windows a little for

fresh air to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Make

sure the exhaust pipe is not blocked.

• Make yourself visible to rescuers.

– Turn on the dome light at night when running the engine.

– Tie a colored cloth to your antenna or door.

– Raise the hood after the snow stops falling.

• Exercise to keep blood circulating and to keep warm.

CRITICAL OPERATIONS

During some emergency situations, it will be necessary for some specially

assigned personnel to remain at the work areas to perform critical operations.

Assignments:

Work Area Name Job Title Description of Assignment

1. A first time violation will be discussed orally between company supervision and the employee. This will be done as soon as possible.
1. A second time offense will be followed up in written form and a copy of this written documentation will be entered into the employee’s personnel folder.
1. A third time violation will result in time off or possible termination, depending on the seriousness of the violation.

Safety Awareness Program

Safety Committee

We believe that hard work and perseverance are required for the prevention of injuries, with an active safety committee being the key to a successful result. The committee is made up of management-designated representatives and employee-elected representatives. Employees in each division will elect a representative from among themselves to be on the committee. At no time will there be more management-designated representatives than employee-elected representatives.
A. Purpose: To assist in the detection and elimination of unsafe conditions and work procedures.
B. Procedures:
The following guidelines will be followed:
0. The committee will elect a chairperson by majority vote.
0. The attendance and subjects discussed shall be documented and maintained on file for one year.
0. Copies of the minutes should be made available to the employees by posting or other means.
