d. carrying an object that blocks line of vision. <br />e. work boots not laced or buckled. <br />f. working off a scaffold without safety rails. <br />g. using ladders that have oil and grease on the rungs. <br />h. not using a handrail on steps. <br />i. messy work areas with debris strewn about. <br />j. not paying attention to what one is doing. <br />This list can go on and on, but all the above are easily preventable by <br />adherence to common safety procedures, common sense, and awareness <br />of potential hazards on the job site. <br />DRUGS AND ALCOHOL <br />With the exception of over the counter drugs such as aspirin or drugs <br />prescribed by a physician, there shall be no drugs or alcohol on any job <br />site. Alcohol and drug abuse cause an unacceptable level of safety hazard <br />not only for the offending employee, but for others in the vicinity. Those <br />found to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol will be immediately <br />removed from the job site by the competent person and further disciplinary <br />action will be taken by the Safety Director. <br />Employees taking prescription medication that reduces motor skills should <br />report this to their supervisor for appropriate work assignment. <br />Chemical dependency is a devastating problem for not only the employee, <br />but also the employee's family and co-workers. For obvious safety <br />reasons, it cannot be tolerated in the workplace. Those with such a problem <br />should seek professional help. The Safety Director will assist any employee <br />in finding appropriate treatment should they voluntarily come forward. <br />SMOKING <br />There shall be no smoking except in designated smoking areas. Under no <br />circumstances will there be smoking during refueling of vehicles or within <br />50 feet of flammable materials. <br />ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION <br />The purpose of Accident Investigation is to prevent the same type of <br />accident from reoccurring. An accident investigation will begin immediately <br />after the medical crisis is resolved. The competent person/supervisor on <br />the job site will complete an Accident Investigation Form as soon as <br />feasible. The five questions that must be answered are: Who? What? <br />When? Where? and most importantly, Why did the accident happen? <br />12 john ward concrete, inc SECTION I <br />© 2011 U.S. Compliance Systems, Inc. (888) 475-5353.
