Checklist “What to wear”:
• Wear safety glasses or face shields, whichever fits best, to protect your eyes from harmful exposures such as dust, chemicals, flying particles, smoke, and other things, especially if your job involves welding, cutting, polishing, nailing, concreting. and chemicals. plays.
• Wear proper, insulated, waterproof, and slip-resistant boots, whichever protects you best. Proper footwear protects you from skidding, crushing your feet, and electrocuting yourself.
• Gloves are essential for safely handling sharp objects and toxic substances. Put on the ones that fit well: welding gloves for welding, heavy-duty rubber gloves for concrete work, and insulating gloves and sleeves in case the job exposes you to electrical hazards.
• Head injuries are one of the most dangerous deaths and a proper helmet must be worn to avoid them. Check regularly for dents or deterioration and replace as soon as you find any.
Scaffolding Checklist:
• Do a daily check of scaffolds to make sure they are firm and solid with a high weight capacity. Inform the elderly and have it corrected if it is damaged or weakened in any way.
• Never use uneven surfaces and unstable objects (loose bricks, barrels, or concrete boxes) as a base for scaffolds.
• Avoid using scaffolding in bad weather: rain, snow or hail.
Electrical Safety Checklist:
• Check all electrical tools and equipment regularly for defects and wear. Replace any that are defective in any way.
• Only qualified and designated operators should have access to electrical equipment.
• Keep building materials, workers, and equipment at least 10 feet away from power lines.
• Use double insulated electrical equipment. Ground them if they are not. Chorus by the use of multiple plug adapters; it is dangerous!
Dangerous communication:
• Workers should be notified of hazardous areas and materials by marking them as such: post signs, signs and barricades as necessary. Heavy electrical equipment, suspended loads, toxic chemicals, wet and slippery patches, etc. Few hazards need to be flagged.
Crane, Hoist and Rigging Equipment Safety Checklist:
• Barricades / turning areas within the turning radius of the crane.
• Make sure the load and speed limit is never exceeded.
• Perform daily safety and maintenance inspections of crane machinery and other rigging equipment before they are put into use.
• Only properly trained and qualified operators should have access to cranes, lifting equipment, and rigging.
• Keep these machines away from electrical equipment and power lines.
There is another checklist that I have saved for the last one: verify that every participant on the site, worker or visitor, carries a valid CSCS card. This is a great way to reduce deaths, especially those that result from lack of knowledge or care. Do you have workers without the proper CSCS cards?
