1. Safety Orientation Don Ebert- Risk Manager (509) 789-3517 riskmanager@esd101.net

2. Safety Statistics Fourteen thousand Americans die from on- the-job accidents every year A worker is injured every 18 seconds Most accidents occur within an employee’s first six months on a new job

3. What is the impact after a serious injury?

4. If an Incident Happens

5. To Whom Do I Go? Your Supervisor

7. Supervisor also adds comments.

8. Filing a Claim Seek first aid or medical attention if needed. Inform your supervisor immediately. Fill-out and submit an Incident Investigation Form. Do not file an L&I State Fund Claim Form. Contact NEWSD 101 Claims Administrator @ 509-789-3516 or 1-800-531-4290 to obtain a claim number. They will help you through the entire process.

9. FIRE SAFETY Know location of fire alarm pull stations. Location of fire extinguishers and the type. Know at least two evacuation routes. Close doors during evacuation process.

10. Fire Triangle 3 Elements are needed for fire to occur: Fuel – such as combustibles, grease, Heat – ignition source Oxygen – fire will not start or will starve if not enough. - Remove any of the three and the fire will be put out. - Removing fuel is very difficult to accomplish.

11. When to use a fire extinguisher If you have been trained and can do so safely. When fire is Small, contained and not spreading If you have a clear evacuation route

12. Using a fire extinguisher

13. Building Evacuation Procedures Move away from building at least 100 feet. Do not block access for emergency responders. Do not re-enter the building until cleared by authorized person.

14. 2012 Chemical Hazard Communication Standard Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals Initial training required for all Employees that use chemicals

15. Purpose You have both a need and a right to know the hazards and identities of the chemicals they are exposed to when working – right to understand Most chemicals we work with are covered by the rule

16. WHY?? – Chemical exposure may cause or contribute to many serious health effects.

17. WHY?? Chemicals may also be safety hazards and have the potential to cause fires and explosions and other serious accidents

18. WHY?? The Hazard Communications Program is always in the top 5 programs most cited for non-compliance and will remain a high-interest inspection item for years to come. No matter what else compliance officers investigate/inspect; you can be certain that they will also want to see the Haz Com program while they are at your site.

19. Where are chemicals found in schools? Custodial- cleaning chemicals Maintenance- lubricants, oils, paints Office areas- inks, glues, toners Science classrooms- lab chemicals Vocational Education- paints, varnishes Bus garage- oils, solvents Fine arts classrooms- photo, paints Grounds/Landscaping- fertilizers, pesticides Classrooms – items in teacher’s desks and under the sinks

20. What is a “hazardous chemical”? A hazardous chemical is any chemical that can do harm to your body. Most industrial chemicals can harm you at some level. It depends how much gets into your body.

21. How do hazardous chemicals affect the body? The effect a certain chemical has on the body depends on several factors: The physical form of the chemical How the chemical enters the body The amount of chemical that actually enters the body - the dose How toxic (poisonous) the chemical is

22. How Chemicals Enter the Body There Are Three Routes of Entry: Ingestion – swallowing the chemical Inhalation – breathing in the chemical Absorption – the chemical soaks through the skin

23. Chemical Toxicity Chronic Toxicity and Acute Toxicity Some chemicals will only make you sick if you get an ‘acute” or high dose all at once. Example - ammonia Some chemicals are mainly known for their chronic or long-term effects. Example - asbestos Most chemicals have both acute and chronic effects. Example – carbon monoxide

24. The “Old” Haz Com Standard Material safety data sheets and labels were: – Inconsistent – Incomplete – Difficult to read

25. Hazard Communication Program Haz Com Program Elements – Employee Right to Know chemical hazards – Hazard chemical locations and conditions – Chemical inventory – updated at least annually – Safety Data Sheets – available during work shift – GHS Labeling – Written Haz Com program – NEWESD 101 Accident Prevention Program, appendix G.

26. Labels must have five things : 1.Product Identifier – what is this chemical 2.Signal words – to tell us about the danger level 3.Hazard Statement – what kind of harm could the chemical cause 4.Pictograms – a symbol that tells us about the hazards 5.Precautionary Statement – what do we need to do to be safe around this chemical. What’s on the Label?

27. Product Identifier

28. Hazard Statement Describes what kind of hazards this chemical has, such as: – Highly flammable liquid. – Causes serious eye irritation – May cause drowsiness and dizziness.

29. Precautionary Statements

30. Signal Words – Danger or Warning Used to discriminate between levels of hazard

31. GHS Pictograms

32. Health Hazard Could cause cancer Can impact breathing and may cause asthma. May cause reproductive problems and birth defects. May be toxic to organs and damage lungs Mutagenicity.

33. Flammables Solids, liquids and gases May react with other substances to cause a fire. Could burn on its own simply by coming in contact with air.

34. Oxidizers Flame over the letter “O” Oxidizers can cause organic materials to combust. Oxygen is most common.

35. Irritant Indicates Irritants or Skin Sensitizers. Can cause problems with skin, eyes and respiratory system. Generally short-term (acute) irritations or rashes upon contact. May cause dizziness.

36. Gases Under Pressure May be flammable, oxidizing or reactive compressed gasses. Accidental release causes cylinder to rocket. Liquid contents may cause skin to freeze.

37. Explosives Explosive materials. Self-reactive or self- heating. Pyrophoric – burns if it contacts air. Organic peroxide – burns or explodes.

38. Corrosives Can cause skin burns. Will damage eyes. Can damage metals or other materials.

39. Environmental Toxicity Harms plants or animals. Impacts air or water quality. Could contaminate soil.

40. Acute Toxicity Severe hazard Can be fatal Extremely toxic

41. Chemical hazards that are not packaged such welding fumes or carbon monoxide areas must have signage posted to warn of the potential hazard. Additional labeling requirements

42. Safety Data Sheets (formerly known as MSDS’s) 42 Standardized format to make finding information easier

43. Role of Safety Data Sheets in GHS  The SDS should provide comprehensive information about a chemical substance or mixture.  Employers and workers use the SDS as a source of information about hazards and to obtain advice on safety precautions.

44. SDS Format: 16 headings 1.Identification 2.Hazard(s) identification 3.Composition/information on ingredients 4.First-aid measures 5.Fire-fighting measures 6.Accidental release measures 7.Handling and storage 8.Exposure control/personal protec tion

45. Format: 16 headings (cont.) 9. Physical and chemical properties 10. Stability and reactivity 11. Toxicological information 12. Ecological information 13. Disposal considerations 14. Transport information 15. Regulatory information 16. Other information

46. Common Container Violations Unlabeled Secondary Container Not sealed Using food or beverage container for chemical storage

47. Take great care not to overload extension cords, power strips or outlets and do not connect multiple extension cords together. Electrical Safety

48. Cord damage A cord may be damaged by door or window edges, by staples and fastenings, by abrasion from adjacent materials, or simply by aging. If the electrical conductors become exposed, there is a danger of shocks, burns, or fire. Strain Straining a cord can cause the strands of one conductor to loosen from under terminal screws and touch another conductor. Ground pin Removing the ground pin from a plug to fit an ungrounded outlet Fun fact: OSHA prohibits using tape to repair damaged electrical cords

49. fun with electrical cords

50. How we hurt our backs Lifting heavy items. Pushing or pulling heavy items. Taking objects from shelves. Picking items off of floor or ground. Repetitive motions such as vacuuming, wiping, scanning, or key boarding. Twisting or turning while lifting or carrying objects. 80% of workers will have a back injury

51. Back Statistics 80% of Americans will have a back injury that requires medical attention Back injuries are the second most common cause of lost work time, next to the common cold Back injuries occur more often at home than they do at work Injured backs are often subject to re-injury In addition to missed work, there may be a lifetime of pain

52. Safe Lifting Hold Load Close to Body “Hug the Load” Hold Load Close to Body “Hug the Load” Break Loads Down to Manageable Size Break Loads Down to Manageable Size The body should never be turned or twisted while under the stress of heavy weight The body should never be turned or twisted while under the stress of heavy weight Do the actual lifting with your legs only Do the actual lifting with your legs only Get Help!!! Get Help!!!

56. Slips, trips and falls About 50% of reported slips in NEWESD 101 Schools are from snow or ice. These frequently happen when getting out of vehicle or walking across the parking lot. Biggest factors include: unaware of ice, footwear without adequate traction, and walking too fast.

57. Reducing injuries Wear appropriate footwear for conditions. Wear traction cleats if ice is anticipated. Walk slowly and deliberately – don’t rush! Keep hands free for balance and to catch yourself. Use the door frame or steering wheel when exiting or entering vehicles. Report unsafe conditions immediately!

58. Things we trip on Stairs Boxes Holes in ground Uneven pavement Rugs and mats Table legs/chair legs Power Cords Other: people on floor, pens, fruit Most trips are avoidable with situational awareness and good housekeeping.

59. Things we fall from Ladders Chairs Stairs Desks Stage

60. Ladders If you need something out of reach, never stand on a chair, desk or window sill. Ask the custodian or maintenance for a ladder. Be cautious about having a student climb to obtain something overhead.

61. Preventing Fall Injuries Use an appropriate ladder- never use a chair or a desk instead of a ladder. Stay within the frame of the ladder – “belt buckle rule.” If you routinely use a ladder you must be trained annually. Do not rush going up or down stairs.

62. Stair Safety The number one cause of stair accidents is distraction. Always use handrails. Take one step at a time. No congregating on stairs. Watch where you are going.

63. Potential hazards may be anywhere Report them!
