Safety Culture Transformation by TheSafetyMaster™

Accidents and injuries do happen a lot of times in the industry. Indirect costs such as loss of worker life, productivity, poor quality of goods and services, and damage to customer relations and public image can be two to four times the direct costs.

The impact of accidents, injuries, reaches far beyond the physical safety of the workplace. Workplace injuries often require employees to take time off or result in restricted work duties or the need to transfer to less physically demanding positions. In addition, there is the cost to repair and replace damaged equipment and the cost of lost or limited production stemming from an unexpected disruption of operations, all of which decrease operational effectiveness and productivity.

Companies and Industries that are serious regarding protecting their employees should do far more than react after an injury or rely on awareness-based safety efforts and usually, this approach only delays the next injury. Safety is not just about responding to injuries but is about the ongoing identification of exposure, the implementation of control systems, and assuring these controls are used to neutralize the exposure. Nowadays it has become very important to implement a proper safety culture in an organization. TheSafetyMaster is a leading Process Safety Management Consultancy (PSM) and Process Safety Management Incidents India.

PPE’s Personal Protective Equipments Training by TheSafetyMaster™

Safety is a major issue for day laborers and skilled laborers. Each year, accidents happen frequently in the construction industry and often times it is due to the absence of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or failure to wear the provided PPE. PPE is equipment that will protect workers against health or safety risks on the job. The purpose is to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. These hazard risks can be anything from wet floors to falling debris and everything in between. PPE should only be considered as a last line of defence between a hazard and the worker.

Even where engineering controls and safe systems of work have been applied, some hazards might remain. These includes injuries to.

• The lungs, e.g. from breathing in contaminated air.
• The head and feet, e.g. from falling materials
• The eyes, e.g. from flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids
• The skin, e.g. from contact with corrosive materials
• The body, e.g. from extremes of heat or cold.

These injuries and illness may result from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions, procedures, training, and supervision to encourage people to work safely and responsibly.

Workplace safety should begin with a hazard assessment. Once the hazards and risks have been identified, a plan can be put forward to prioritize and reduce risk of injury. Useful systems and tools to perform hazard assessments include performing a Risk Assessment and a Job Safety Analysis.

Basic Types of PPE

A hazard assessment can help identify which specialized PPE will be required. However, the following basic types of PPE should be made available in every worksite.

  1. Head Protection

PPE includes hard hats and headgears and should be required for tasks than can cause any force or object falling to the head. When performing head protection safety checks, ensure that there are no dents or deformities on the shell and connections are tightened inside. Do not store in direct sunlight and always replace a hard hat if it was used for any kind of impact, even if damage is unnoticeable.

  2. Face and Eye Protection

PPE includes safety goggles and face shields and should be used for tasks that can cause loss of vision and an eye, burns, splashes, sprays of toxic liquids etc. When conducting equipment safety checks, ensure that there are no cracks or deformities on the lenses, ensure the strap is in good working order and is firmly sealed to the cheek and forehead.

  3. Foot Protection

PPE includes knee pads and safety boots and should be used for tasks that can cause serious foot and leg injuries from falling or rolling objects, hot substances, electrical hazards and slippery surfaces. Use boots with slip-resistant soles that protect against compression and impact.

  4. Hands Protection

PPE includes safety gloves and should be used for tasks that can cause hand and skin burns, absorption of harmful substances, cuts, fractures or amputations. When inspecting hand protection equipment, ensure that they fit perfectly with no spaces and are free from cuts, burns and chemical residue. Always replace them if any sign of contamination was observed.

  5. Body Protection

PPE includes safety vests and suits and should be used for tasks that can cause body injuries from extreme temperatures, flames and sparks, toxic chemicals, insect bites and radiation. Ensure that they are clean and free from cuts and burns. Always get a good fit to ensure full body protection.

  6. Hearing Protection

PPE includes ear muffs and plugs and should be used for tasks than can cause hearing problems and loss of hearing. When ensuring hearing safety, the equipment must fit the ear canal perfectly. Recommended types include formable earplugs to fit on different sizes of ear canals.

  7. Fall Protection

PPE includes safety harnesses and lanyards and should be strictly used for task that can cause falling from heights and serious injury or death. When inspecting equipment, ensure that the straps are free from tears, deformities and burn marks and buckles are connected securely and tightly. It is very important to dispose them if used after a falling incident.

  8. Respiratory Protection

PPE includes respirators and should be used for task that can cause inhalation of harmful materials to enter the body. When conducting respiratory protection safety, ensure that the equipment is fit-tested and the employee has undergone proper training before wearing one.

PPE Safety Checklists

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Safety Checklists are used by safety officials and supervisors to help identify tasks that require PPE, ensure staff is using the right equipment and reduce overall harm.

PSM Gap Assessment by TheSafetyMaster™

Process safety management is a management system of preventing hazards and risks from highly hazardous chemical or energy release while a process is any activity or combination of activities including any use, storage, manufacturing, handling or the on-site movement of highly hazardous chemicals.

In highly hazardous chemical production units wherein working with chemicals and other hazardous energies is commonplace; catastrophic hazards are pronounced and the risk of injury and health complications to the business and workers engaged in the production sector are substantially increased.

PSM Gap Assessment is one of the most important parts of the PSM system and includes identifying deficiencies related to PSM system, technical safety Infrastructure, planning, capability, following-up, and how is documenting the PSM system. A PSM Gap Assessment is a systematic series of assessment to identify gaps and problem areas associated with elements of Risk Based PSM programmer installed in operation, design and maintenance. The review allows proper identification of gaps at the beginning of a project and provides a detailed list of system/people/physical gaps that can pose catastrophic dangers that may be faced by the facility; based on this list, it is possible to ensure the monitoring and traceability of the implementation of measures that will help to avoid them. The elements under assessment are

·          Risk Based Thinking
