SCISSOR LIFT SAFETY TIPS

We believe that the successful control of lifting operations and safe use of lift equipment requires a high level of management pledge, professional competence, and adequate resources. Essential to the success of any Lifting Operation is the fact that it must be accepted by managers, those responsible for lifting operations and employees prior to the start. These stakeholders must do all that is reasonably practicable to achieve compliance with statutory duties arising from health and safety legislation, Local state guidance and advice.

Communication is playing a vital role in lifting activity. Failures in communications are often root causes of lifting incidents and can also be the most difficult to detect. Good training and obedience to correct procedures are vital but checking the actual situation at the worksite is of utmost importance. For example:-

TRENCHES & EXCAVATIONS SAFETY

• Are the employees concerned all from the same company?

• Do they all understand a common language?

• If not is there an established system of signals in strict use that they all know and understand?

• Warning signage is displayed where the employees are able to see it?

• What different methods of communication are able to be used?

• What communication is required between the worksite and the source of any technical assistance elsewhere?

Two way of communication is important, both the employees should understand & acknowledge the communication shared. Communication also extends to warning employees of the lifting activity and keeping the lift area clear of employees not involved in the lifting operation.

PASS METHOD OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER USAGE

All members of the lifting team must be sure of their individual tasks and their team members' roles in order to fully and easily communicate with one another. Nominated signallers shall be clearly and separately identifiable, by use of reflective jackets or other conspicuous clothing or marking. Good quality of communications is essential especially when any part of the lift is not clearly visible to any of the team members. If a signal is not clear to a member of the lift team operating any lifting equipment, then the operation shall cease to progress.

Never start any lifting operation until all concerned have been briefed in a Pre-Start Meeting/Pep Talk, Tool Box Talk(TBT), ensuring that they understand their role and responsibilities and that they have signed onto the Permit-to-Work(PTW)/Work Permit or record of attendance at the Pre-Start Meeting.

Scaffold : Over Head Hazard

Reactivity/Instability Hazard - YELLOW| NFPA Hazard Diamond | Identification Diagram

 

This hazard diamond is from the National Fire Protection Association-NFPA Code. The first number relates to Health (Blue) Hazards, the second number relates to Fire/Flammability (Red), and the third to Reactivity (Yellow). The Health Hazard having the number from 0 to 4.

 

Reactivity/Instability Hazard (YELLOW)

 

Hazard Rating 4 – High hazard, Materials that in themselves are readily accomplished of detonation or of explosive decomposition or explosive reaction at normal temperatures and pressures. Comprises materials that are sensitive to mechanical or localized thermal shock. If a chemical with this hazard rating is in an advanced or massive fire, the area should be evacuated.

 

BENCH GRINDER SAFETY

Hazard Rating 3 - Materials that in themselves are capable of detonation or of explosive decomposition or of explosive reaction but which require a strong initiating source or which must be heated under confinement before initiation. Includes materials which are delicate to thermal or mechanical shock at elevated temperatures and pressures or which react explosively with water without requiring heat or confinement. Ensure Fire fighting should done from an explosion-resistant location.

 

Hazard Rating 2 - Materials that in themselves are normally unstable and readily undergo violent chemical change but do not detonate. Includes materials which can undergo chemical change with rapid release of energy at normal temperatures and pressures or which can undergo violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures. Also includes those materials which may react violently with water or which may form potentially explosive mixtures with water. In advanced or massive fires, ensure fire fighting should done from a protected location.

 

SCISSOR LIFT SAFETY TIPS

Hazard Rating 1 - Materials that in themselves are normally stable but which may become unstable at raised temperatures and pressures or which may react with water with some release of energy but not violently. Required caution must be used in approaching the fires and applying water.

 

Hazard Rating 0 - Materials that are normally stable even under fire exposure conditions and which are not reactive with water. Normal fire fighting procedures may be used with the required precautions.

FIRE / Flammability Hazard - RED | NFPA Hazard Diamond | Identification Diagram

 

This hazard diamond is from the National Fire Protection Association-NFPA Code. The first number relates to Health (Blue) Hazards, the second number relates to Fire/Flammability (Red), and the third to Reactivity (Yellow). The Health Hazard having the number from 0 to 4.

 

FIRE / Flammability Hazard (RED)

 

Hazard Rating 4 - Highly flammable gases, very volatile flammable liquids, and materials that in the form of dusts or mists readily form explosive mixtures when dispersed in air. Shut off flow of gas or liquid and keep cooling water streams on exposed tanks or containers. Use water spray carefully in the vicinity of dusts so as not to create dust clouds.

 

Hazard Rating 3 - Liquids that can be ignited under almost all regular temperature conditions. Water may be ineffective on these liquids because of their low flash points. Solids which form coarse dusts, solids in shredded or fibrous form that create flash fires, solids that burn rapidly, usually because they contain their own oxygen, and any materials that ignite instinctively at normal temperatures in air.

 

WORKING SAFELY WITH CRANE

Hazard Rating 2 - Liquids that must be moderately heated before ignition will occur and solids that

readily give off flammable vapors. Water spray may be used to extinguish the fire because the material can be cooled to below its flash point.

 

Hazard Rating 1 - Materials that must be preheated before ignition can occur. Water may cause frothing of liquids with this flammability rating number if it gets below the surface of the liquid and turns to steam. However, water spray gently applied to the surface will cause a frothing which will extinguish the fire. Most combustible solids have a flammability rating of 1.

 

Hazard Rating 0 - Materials that will not burn.

This hazard diamond is from the National Fire Protection Association-NFPA Code. The first number relates to Health (Blue) Hazards, the second number relates to Flammability (Red), and the third to Reactivity (Yellow). The Health Hazard having the number from 0 to 4.

 

Health Hazard (BLUE)

 

Hazard Rating 4 - A few smells of the gas or vapor could cause death or the gas, vapor, or liquid could be fatal on powerful the fire fighter's normal full protective clothing that is designed for resistance to heat. For most chemicals having a Health hazard rating of 4, the normal full protective clothing available to the average fire department will not provide adequate protection against skin contact with these materials. Only special protective clothing designed to protect against the specific hazard should be worn.

 

Hazard Rating 3 - Materials extremely hazardous to health, but areas may be entered with extreme care. Full protective clothing, including self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA), rubber gloves, gumboots and bands around legs, arms and waist should be provided. No skin surface should be exposed.

 

Confined Space Entry Safety Procedure

Hazard Rating 2 - Materials hazardous to health, but areas may be entered freely with self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA).

 

Hazard Rating 1 - Materials only slightly hazardous to health. It may be desirable to wear self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA).

 

Hazard Rating 0 - Materials, which on exposure under fire conditions, would offer no health hazard beyond that of ordinary combustible material.
