Give the Toolbox Safety Talk Loading equipment onto trailers can cause serious injuries if the equipment slips or falls. Often, the equipment will be just as wide as the trailer and there will be little room for error. No matter what type of ...

Describe the hazards of the work as they relate to your project. Explain or show the SAFE way of doing the job.  3. Give the Toolbox Safety Talk Among the most common causes of serious work, injuries are accidents involving falling objects. You are at risk from falling objects when you are adjacent to cranes, scaffolds, etc., or where overhead work is being performed. Injuries can range from minor abrasions to concussions, blindness, or death. Take these precautions to prevent injury: Wear a hard hat when operations are being conducted adjacent to and overhead of your work area, or wherever the potential exists for injuries due to falling...

Give the Tool Box Safety Talk Failure to follow safe work practices when using scaffolds is a major cause of scaffolding related accidents. To ensure safety, learn to recognize hazards, and always use these safe work practices: Inspect scaffolds before each work shift and after any incident that could affect the structural integrity of the scaffold. Take any questionable scaffold out of service, tag it and report damage or defects immediately.  * Do not load scaffolds beyond their capacity. Keep only the tools and materials you need...

Describe the hazards of the work as they relate to your project. Explain or show the Safe way of doing the job.  3. Give the Tool Box Safety Talk Suspended scaffolds are platforms suspended by ropes, or other non-rigid means, from an overhead structure. Suspended scaffolds include swing stage, multipoint scaffolds, and catenary scaffolds. Suspended scaffolds can pose serious risks if there is a failure in integrity of the structure or the ropes. In addition, workers at heights risk serious injury or death from falls if fall-protection systems are not in place. Follow these tips to help ensure safety: Suspended scaffolds must be designed ...

Give the Tool Box Safety Talk Workers on scaffolds risk injury from overhead hazards such as falling tools, equipment, and materials and energized overhead power lines. To protect employees from falling objects and electrical shock, take these precautions: * Install overhead protection when there is risk of exposure to falling objects. Types of overhead protection include toe-boards at edges of platforms, screens, guardrails, debris nets, catch platforms, canopy structures.  * Designate a fall zone under scaffolding with barricades or dange...

Describe the hazards of the work as they relate to your project. Explain or show the Safe way of doing the job.  3. Give the Tool Box Safety Talk Many scaffolding accidents occur during the erecting and dismantling and missing tie-ins or bracing. Always follow OSHA guidelines for erecting and/or dismantling scaffolds and use these safe work practices: * Erect, move, dismantle, or alter scaffolds only if you are trained and under the supervision of a competent person qualified in such activities. * Wear fall protection whenever feasible. A qualified person must determine where fall protection is feasible and does not create a greater hazard. * If using a personal ...

 Safety Factor In applying Equation 10-1, a safety factor or factor of safety is often introduced. A factor of safety makes an allowance for many unknowns related to materials, assembly, or use. Unknowns may be inaccurate estimates of real loads or differences between actual materials and those tested in laboratories. They may be changes in area resulting from corrosion, wear, manufacturing, assembly, or use. They may be irregularities or nonhomogeneity in materials. The unknowns may include suddenly applied, dynamic loads. Technically, a safety factor (SF) refers to the ratio of a failure-producing load to the maximum safe stress a material may carry. The maximum safe stress is often called the allowable stress. Failure may not be by rupture or fracture. A failure could be a change in area or properties of the material that affect the load-carrying capacity and its safety. For structural steel, the allowable stress is derived at the yield point in a stress-strain (load per unit ar...

Forces, Distribution, and Materials MECHANICS AND STRUCTURES  The magnitude of a force acting on a body is obviously important. As a rule, large forces are more likely to cause failure or damage than small ones. How a force acts on a body is also important. The direction of a force, its location or point of application, and the area over which it acts are also important in safety. A 50-lb force applied to the edge of a sheet of glass and parallel to it may not break it. If a hammer strikes the center of the sheet with the same force, the glass will probably break. A wood panel of the same size undergoing the same force will not break. When evaluating the strength of a material, it is essential to evaluate the distribution or concentration of forces as they act on bodies. Figure 10-1 gives some examples of distributed and concentrated loads. Experience tells us that different materials have different strength properties. Striking a glass panel will cause it to shatter, whereas strik...

                                              MECHANICS AND STRUCTURES April 27, 1978: In West Virginia, 51 construction workers fell 170 feet to their deaths as the scaffold and form work system peeled from the top of a cooling tower under construction. The lack of some required bolts connecting the scaffold to the tower and inadequately cured, insufficient strength concrete contributed to the accident. May 30, 1979: A DC-10 crashed in Chicago, killing 271 people. A 3 /8-inch diameter bolt supporting the engine pylon failed, causing the engine to break away from the wing. As it broke away, it ripped through three redundant hydraulic flight control lines. May 12, 1982: A report to Congress stated that more than 212,000 of the nation’s 525,600 highway bridges (40.5%) were structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. A structurally deficient bridge is one that has a reduc...
