It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance- based training in this presentation, or to train employees how to operate the equipment depicted. The intent is more to address hazard awareness in the construction industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards present in many construction workplaces. It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations contained herein constitute a thorough review of the applicable standards, nor should discussion of “issues” or “concerns” be construed as a prioritization of hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (“best practices”) have been expressed, it is important to remember that safety issues in general and construction jobsites specifically will require a great deal of site- or hazard-specificity – a “one size fits all” approach is not recommended, nor will it likely be very effective.

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 7 Why Is Training Needed? OSHA investigated two fatal accidents in 2005 in southern Colorado involving the rollover of pneumatic rubber-tired roller/compactors

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 8 Accident #1 May 2005 Employee was fatally injured while operating a pneumatic rubber-tired roller

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 9 Accident #1 Roller ran off the road and traveled down a 22-degree embankment Rolled over 1½ times, stopped on its top Operator was thrown from the machine –Fatally crushed between the machine and ground

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 10 Accident #1 Roller was originally equipped with a ROPS and a seatbelt –Both had been removed prior to the accident

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 13 Summary of Accidents In both cases, –If the machine had been equipped with a ROPS system, and –If the operator had been wearing a seatbelt, The operator’s survival would have increased significantly

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 14 Additional Accidents Between 2000 and 2006 OSHA investigated over 50 rollover incidents

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 16 Roller Compactor Safety Always be aware that a rollover hazard exists ROPS and seatbelts ALWAYS reduce the risk of a fatality Highest hazard locations were roadway or embankment edges

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 17 Roller Compactor Safety When operating on uneven surfaces, chances of a rollover increase Another hazard was runaway machines, typically down slopes Evaluate roadways and work surfaces for dangerous inclines/declines

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 18 ROPS A ROPS is a protective frame mounted on the machine and extends above the operator’s seat ROPS bear the weight of the machine during a rollover event ROPS minimize the likelihood that the machine will overturn completely

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 19 ROPS A principle in ROPS design is to restrict the overturn to 90 degrees ROPS must to be used in combination with a seatbelt A ROPS only provides protection if the operator remains in the seat

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 20 Roller Compactor Safety A number of hazards associated with rollovers were pointed out, including: –Working near road edge or embankment was the most hazardous –The second most hazardous were steep slopes and roadway curves –Problems with gear-shifting and brakes resulted in runaways Source: Compactor Overturns and Rollover Protective Structures

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 21 Roller Compactor Safety Compacting soil appeared to be more hazardous than other operations Hazards included the soil edges and soft soil pockets that could drop under the weight of the unit.

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 26 Compactor Roller Safety Loading and unloading machines onto trailers posed a potential overturn hazard Hazards were caused by –skidding on the ramps, –using wood blocks or planks as ramps, –or a machine that was too narrow to span both sides of the ramp

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 31 Need for ROPS Studies show that if the machines involved are equipped with ROPS, and if the operators are wearing seatbelts, the operator’s survival increases significantly

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 32 Regulations OSHA does not have a standard requiring the use ROPS or seatbelts OSHA’s position is that the hazard of equipment rollover is a “recognized hazard” within the meaning of the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 33 General Duty Clause (a) Each employer -- (1) shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees; (2) shall comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under this Act

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 38 Compactor Roller Safety For example, operators need to understand that: –Soft edges can cause one side of the equipment to sink and therefore may pose a risk of rollover; –Turning away from a slope with articulated steering can destabilize the compactor;

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 39 Compactor Roller Safety Improperly inflated tires can destabilize roller/compactors; and Rain or wet conditions can pose a hazard during unloading and loading and can increase the possibility of rollovers near embankments as soil conditions become unstable

Developed under an OSHA Susan B. Harwood Grant, #SH-19499-09-60-F-48, by the Associated Builders and Contractors-Central Texas Chapter 40 Roller Compactor Safety Leaving a compactor vibrator engaged while stationary has led to the settling of soil on one side of the unit, allowing it to overturn Articulation of a mobile unit with the jackknife pointed toward an edge presents a substantial overturn hazard
