Section B2 - Fall Protection Practices
-
Fall protection systems is used to eliminate fall hazards of 4 feet or greater.
-
Anchorage points are capable of supporting 5000 pounds per individual.<br>
-
Workers are tied-off while working from any aerial lift (boom or scissors type). <br>
-
Worker is tie-off above their head or as high as possible above your waist to minimize the distance of any potential fall.<br>
-
Worker has not secured his/her lanyard back to itself unless you have a lanyard designated for that purpose.<br>
-
Worker does not secure lanyard hook to hook to create one long lanyard.<br>
-
Workers are tied off to elevated work platform at the manufacturer designated anchor points.<br>
-
Temporary handrail systems and components are installed and erected to include the following: 1. Support a lateral or downward force of 200 pounds. 2. Top rail at 42” (plus or minus 3 inches) above walking/working level, 3. Mid-rail midway between top rail and walking/working level, 4. 4” Toe boards when material & tools can fall to a lower level onto coworkers.<br>
-
Roof work - Warning lines are erected around all sides of roof work areas.<br>
-
Roof Works - The warning line are erected in from all edges of the roof the following distance (low sloped roofs only): 1. Six (6’) for all roof work, 2. Ten (10’) if mechanical equipment is used for roofing work, 3. Fifteen (15’) for all other work and the warning lines are flagged at six (6’) intervals with a high visibility material.<br>Line shall hold between 34” – 39” high with sag.<br>
-
Employees using fall protection that is in good condition.
-
Employees properly using fall protection (full body harness, shock absorbing lanyard, engineered anchored points) when working above ground and in aerial lifts.
-
Trucks drivers use fall protection/prevention systems for truck drivers un-tarping, loading, and tarping trucks.
Section C - Hazardous Energy Control (LOTO)
Section C1 - Electrical Critical Practices
-
Employees following lockout/tagout procedures.
-
Equipment or system(s) being worked are locked or tagged out and each employee working on the piece of equipment has install their own personal lock and/or tag.<br>
-
Lockout locks equipped with indentification tag or information on the lock to identify the workers name and company.
-
Zero energy has been teasted & verified to prevent accident energization or equipment movement. Workers have relieved all stored energy; e.g. bleed off residual hydraulic pressure).
-
Worker(s) have blocked or pinned equipment to prevent equipment movement.<br>
-
Workers have individually secure the energy isolation point(s) with their personal lock(s) and have removed the key(s).<br>
Section C2 - Electrical Safety
-
When possible - electrical cords and welding leads are suspended 7 feet in the air with non conductive material to prevent tripping hazards and damaged cords.<br>
-
Electrical cords and welding leads are free of damage (i.e., ground plug present, cord insulation is free of cuts and damage, welding stinger holder is fully protected by insulator).
-
Worker has disconnect tools from energy sources when jammed, not in use, before servicing and cleaning them, and when changing accessories (such as blades, bits, and cutters).<br>
-
Employees following confined space procedures.
Section D - Confined Space
-
Workers have reviewed Oswego Works Confined Space Datasheet for the space to be entered prior to entering a permit required confined space.
-
Atmospheric conditions have been checked with an air monitor and documented on the entry permit for the permit required confined space and on Reclassification papaerwork when it applies.
-
When a permit required confined space is entered by entrants, an attendant is stationed at the entry location to monitor and secure the work site.
-
When a permit required confined space is entered the permit is posted at the entry point of the confined space.
-
Observations of the permit required confined space entry permit has revealed all dates, times, air monitoring readings, name of entry supervisor, name of LOTO coordinator, names of entrant(s) & attendants are noted on the permit and kept updated.
Section E - Machine Guarding
-
Employees operating equipment with machine guarding secured inplace.
-
Machine guard devices have not been removed, defeated or bypassed.
-
Equipment with pulleys & belts, and chains & sprockets are guarded.<br>
Section F - Crane Operation & Rigging and Lifting Equipment
-
Employees operating cranes that have a pre-shift inspection.
-
Crane operator(s) sound horn prior to moving.
-
Only one person signals the crane operator.
-
Personnel are not walking or working under suspended loads.
-
The crane opeator operates the crane so that there is no side-pulling taking place.
-
Crane operator does not shock load the crane (sudden jerking lifts) or side pull on the crane.
-
Rigging equipment has capacity load rating marked on it.
-
Latch kits are in good operational condition on crane and lifting hooks.
-
A variance has been completed when an aerial lift and/or mobile crane is operating a a crane bay that cannot be locked out or rail stops installed on crane rails.
Section G - Mobile Equipment & Pedestrain Safety
-
Operator wearing seatbelt while operating mobile equipment (fork truck, scooters).
-
Operator traveling with forks 4-6 inches off the ground.
-
Operators are obeying traffic signs.
-

-
Operators are slowing down at corners and intersections.
-
Operator has completed a pre-operation inspection of the equipment.
-
Pedestrians using designated walkways.
-
All safety features are operable; e.g. lights, audible/visual warning devices, brakes, parking brakes, steering, etc.<br>
-
Before pedestrain approach a piece of mobile equipment, the fork lift operator puts the equipment in neutral, lowers the load (fork truck forks), sets the parking brake and turns off the engine.<br>
-
Pedestrians are acknowleding their presense and await command from the fork lift operator before approaching an operating piece of mobile equipment when they are within 25-feet of the mobile equipment.
-
If the load obstructs the view of the intended direction of travel, the fork lift driver is driving with the load trailing, or is guided by a spotter(s).<br>
