Job Safety Analysis – JSA

Part 3 - Construction Safety Pictorial Guidelines

PPE - Safety Signages for Workplace Awareness

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a simple but complete means to control the hazards involved as well as potentially unsafe actions most likely to occur in a given activity or job. JSA used to reduce hazards and to train employees in safe procedures. A JSA is important to any effective safety plan. It should be one of the first steps you take when there is a possibility of employee get affected. The best way to perform a job can efficiently and safely be determined only by carefully studying each steps involved in its activity.

When considering a JSA, first analyze the tasks with the worst accident experience or the greatest potential to cause injury to the worker and then the tasks with lesser risks. By establishing priorities, you can use the JSA as a focal point of the accident-prevention program.

CONFINED SPACE STANDBY PERSON RESPONSIBILITIES

A JSA provides a systematic means of reviewing a employees previous experience and knowledge to establish safe work procedures, and it promotes employee involvement in establishing safety awareness while developing safe work practices.

To accomplish the JSA objectives:

• Understand the objectives and means of analyzing jobs steps by steps;

• Develop a plan for analyzing job steps on a regular basis;

• Analyze statistical data, incident experience, and management and employee experience to develop the sequence of job steps;

• Develop an action plan to control hazards identified with a timeline for implementing the action plan;

• Job supervisors review the results of all JSAs for which they have supervision;

Safe Guidelines for Scaffold Erection

• Provide supervisors with a copy of all approved safe job procedures developed as a

result of a JSA;

• Train employees in accordance with the conclusions of the JSA both initially and each time the task is analyzed;

• Safe Work Practices(SWP) Have supervisors regularly observe the employees and ensure they follow safe work practices;

• Authority - Give supervisors the authority and responsibility to enforce adherence to safe work habits.

Basics of Behavior Based Safety

1. Ensure all scaffolding materials must be constructed and maintained in accordance with standards.

2. The Scaffold frames must be of approved tubular steel construction.

3. Provide Hand rails and toe boards on all scaffolds and it should be in good quality.

4. Ensure the Scaffold planks must be at least 50 millimetres thick, and a maximum of 2 metres in length. Scaffold planks must extend past the frame support by 30 centimetres, and boards must be tied down, or otherwise secured to prevent movement.

5. Provide an access ladder, separate from the scaffold frame and it must be used & secured to all scaffolds.

Safety Net Fall Protection Construction

6. No more than 1.5 metres, is allowed between horizontal bracing (transoms), or ledgers.

7. Provide diagonal supports are also on every other scaffold section.

8. Rolling scaffolds may not exceed 3 times higher than the narrowest scaffold width.

9. Provide wheels on the scaffolds and all scaffold wheels must be equipped with working brakes, and brakes must be set while work is done on the scaffold.

10. Aware all Employees, NOT allow to ride on rolling scaffolds while being moved.

11. Tubular scaffold which exceed 10 meters in height by 6 metres in width must be secured to the structure at 5 metres intervals. And if not possible provide Buttresses of approved design.

Health Hazard – Blue | NFPA Hazard Diamond

12. All scaffolds to be inspected by the competent person, Only GREEN tagged scaffold can be used, no one is allowed on RED, YELLOW or without scaffolding tag.

13. Do not erect, alter, or dismantle any part of scaffolds; this is the scaffolding competent team scope. If it is required to modify a scaffold contact area scaffolding foreman or chargehand to do it.

14. Only approved scaffold, erected by competent persons must be used-barrels, boxes, bricks, paint cans, and any other make shift platforms should not be used.

15. No loose tools or material should be left on scaffolds or work platforms, especially in the edge of the scaffold/platforms.

16. Train all the employees - No material should be dropped or thrown from scaffold at any height.

17. Always barricade your area at the time of Erecting or Dismantling of the scaffolding.

Personal Protective Equipment

 Requirement for Rigging Activity

Confined Space Safety Training Pictorial Guidelines

Horseplay - A Safety Concern

Rigging operation activity are critical and the riggers have to wear the PPE like helmets, gloves, eye protection, face masks and respirators and safety shoe to protect themselves from any injury.

It is the responsibility of every riggers to wear and use the Personal Protective Equipment properly and where and when necessary.

Safety Helmets

Safety helmets with chin straps must be worn wherever there is a risk of objects falling from above and on any work site where the safety helmet signage is displayed.

Helmets should comply with Industrial safety helmets standard.

Gloves

Riggers should wear close fitting gloves to protect their hands from:

• heat and abrasion

• molten metal

• sharp edges.

Special purpose gloves like protection against chemical may be required against acids, alkalis, solvents, fats and oils.

HOT WORK RESPONSIBILITIES

Eye Protection

Wear eye protection for industrial applications if you are likely to be exposed to:

• physical damage caused by – flying particles, dust, molten metal

• chemical damage caused by – toxic liquids, gases and vapours dusts

• radiation damage caused by – sunlight, visible light, infra red, laser.

Respiratory Protection

Riggers should wear a face mask for Respiratory protective devices if you are likely to be exposed to:

• toxic gases and vapours

• irritating dusts, such as silica.

Breathing of some chemical vapours and gases can cause death or a wide range of disagreeable symptoms including narcosis and headaches.

Common dusts such as silica can cause lung disease later in life and is found wherever there is construction activities like excavation, ie building sites, road works, tunnelling and mining.

Safe Guidelines for Scaffold Erection

Hearing Protection

Hearing damage is likely if you are exposed to long periods of industrial noise above 85 decibels. This is the noise level of a large truck or loader.

A chainsaw for example has a noise level of about 92 decibels.

If you think it is likely that you are being exposed to dangerous noise levels, wear Hearing protectors.

Safety Shoe

Riggers should be careful to choose the safety shoe which are comfortable, gives maximum grip and provides protection from pinching, jamming and crushing.

Sun Protection

Riggers spend a great amount of time exposed to direct sunlight as the many activities will be carried out in open area. To prevent permanent damage caused by ultra violet rays always wear a safety helmet, long sleeves, long trousers and use UV cream when working open area.

TRENCHES & EXCAVATIONS SAFETY

Storage as per the manufactures guidelines and SDS is very important for all types of gases. Employee Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) used while handling.

Flammable Gas – This type of gases burns or explodes if it is mixed with air, oxygen or other oxidant, in the presence of a source of ignition.

Oxidant Gas – This type of gases are non flammable but supports combustion. Materials that burn in air, burn more vigorously and/or explosively in oxygen and other oxidants. - Sources of ignition must be eliminated while handling oxidants. - Oxidants must not be stored with combustible materials. - Oil, grease or other combustible substances must not be brought into contact with oxidants. Safe distance to be maintained as per the manufacturer recommendations.

Corrosive Gas – The types of gases can corrode materials with which they come in contact. - Some gases, which are non corrosive in their anhydrous form become corrosive in presence of moisture. - Corrosivity of a gas must be taken into consideration while selecting components and piping for handling the gas. The storage area must be free from moisture.

MOBILE ELEVATING WORK PLATFORMS SAFETY

Irritant Gas – These types of gases causes inflammatory reactions after immediate, prolonged or repeated contact. – Personal Protective clothing must be used to minimize exposure to corrosive or irritant gases.

Pyrophoric Gas – These types of gases burns spontaneously upon exposure to air. Storage & handling critical.

Inert/Asphyxiant Gas – These types of gases does not react with other materials under normal temperature and pressure. - If released in a confined area, these gases may displace oxygen of the air below the level necessary to sustain life. Danger to humans as its displaces the breathing oxygen.
