Safety & Health Committee The
implementation and maintenance of an effective safety & health program
should include the establishment of an Employee Safety & Health Committee. This committee is comprised of a small
percentage of employee’s from your labor force and your safety and health
administrator. This committee will
assist greatly in the maintenance of your safety & health program . It is the function of the committee to: 1. Conduct regular monthly or
quarterly meetings. 2. Review The Written Safety &
Health Program. 3. Express comments and concerns on
areas that may require modification or inclusion. 4. Maintain personal contact with
your employee’s regarding applicable safety issues. 5. Act as liaison to distribute
accurate information in the event of a serious accident or event. 6.
Review safety
procedures for new equipment and determine if additional training is required. 7.
Perform reviews following an accident investigation to determine causes and the appropriate
preventative measures. 8.
Assist in job estimation to determine unique aspects that may require
extreme or costly safety precautions or procedures. The single most important function of your committee is to
establish employee recognition so that the employee’s understand that they are
part of the occupational safety & health team. This will stimulate the free flow of ideas and energies that
will help support and strengthen your program. A well organized committee can also be used to encourage
teamwork in other areas of your business. Goal
oriented programs designed to improve operations will provide a vehicle for
teamwork. Consistent quality
efforts and the attitude of cooperation between the labor force and management
will yield many intangible benefits. It
should be understood that the best candidates for the committee will be obtained
from volunteers. A request for
volunteers should be made shortly after you have created your basic safety &
health program, policies and procedures. A
volunteer is more likely to become more dedicated and involved in company
affairs and has already received the respect of their fellow employee’s. If it is not possible to secure
individuals on a volunteer basis, a monetary incentive may induce cooperation. The
committee should be formed prior to distributing your new program to the labor
force, unless a third party consultant or administrator is retained for initial
implementation. RECORDING: 1.
Assign one of the committee members the task of accurately recording the
minutes of each meeting. A sample
agenda has been provided. 2.
Provide each member a copy of the last minutes well in advance of the
next scheduled meeting. 3.
Establish and maintain a binder to contain copies of all committee
meetings and associated actions. The
binder shall be kept under the control of the safety & health director or
some other designated member of management.
It should be available to any employee who wishes to review it. In the
event of an OSHA compliance inspection that identifies a violation, the
information contained in the binder will be considered during a review to help
in establishing your voluntary compliance and commitment to the safety &
health of your employees. This and
other information will be cumulative in nature and pursuant to a point system it
will provide for a reduction in any accessed fines of up to 95%. Quality Choice Construction, LLC Employee

Section Two Record
Keeping The
Occupational Safety And Health (OSHA) Act of 1970 required that employers
prepare and maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US
Department Of Labor is responsible for administering the record keeping system. This responsibility is under the
direction of the US Department Of Labor’s
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) It is
essential that the system for collecting this information and data from
employers be both uniform and consistent.
OSHA has created specific forms that provide for uniform reporting. It is
a regulation that you establish, maintain and review the following standard OSHA
Forms. 1. OSHA
Form 101 - Supplemental Record Of Occupational Injuries & Illnesses. This form is used to record information on each incident or
accident that occurs. This form can
be completed for information that is recorded on your Incident / Accident Investigation Report. 2. OSHA Form 200 - Log & Summary Of
Occupational Injuries & Illnesses. MUST BE POSTED February 1 through March 1 of each year. This form is completed directly from the information that is
recorded on the Form 101. You will
notice that an employee name section is shaded and has a dotted line on the
right of the shaded area. Copies
of this form that are to be posted at your main office and at each remote work
place from Jan. 1 - Mar. 1, of each year. The
names of the employees are to be removed. The copy that is maintained in the office, and if requested
(see below), forwarded to OSHA must be complete. It is
mandatory that the information contained in this report be reviewed annually and
actions be taken as required. EXAMPLE: You
identify from review that you experienced several eye injuries, a finger
laceration and a sprained ankle.
From this information, you should improve your policy on personal
protection (eye protection) to minimize or reduce the number of eye injuries you
experience. This form is intended
to make you more aware of the type and nature of injuries occurring in your work
place. Perspective
employees also have the right, when requested, to review your companies Form
200’s. This right is granted
without reserve to allow these individuals to determine if your company has an
inappropriate number of injuries or injuries that are too serious in nature for
them to risk employment. Very few
perspective employees are aware of this right and it is unlikely that you will
receive such a request, however you are required to comply with the request if
asked. 3. OSHA Form 200 S
- Annual Occupational Injuries & Illnesses Survey. NOT POSTED , But Is MANDATORY COMPLETION AND FORWARDED TO OSHA. This form is randomly mailed
to employers and is the survey from
which OSHA establishes their records. Please Note: In as much as OSHA considers this system
of maintaining records to be an accurate cross sectioned sample of the total
quantity and type of injuries occurring in the United States, they multiply the
random sampling survey by the total number of employees / employers and generate
an estimated total of all injuries and illnesses for the year. From this information, they plan their
activities for the following year. In as much as it is a totally random survey, they take it VERY SERIOUSLY. Do NOT fail to accurately complete this
survey and forward as indicated on the instructions that will accompany the
package you receive. For the most
part, this survey can be completed from the information you recorded on you OSHA
Form 200. Other information
pertaining to your company will also be requested.
Section Two Record
Keeping In
addition to The Occupational Safety And Health Administration ( OSHA) Form
previously described, they also require that you maintain records pursuant to
Code Of Federal Regulations (CFR) 29 Part 1900 - 1926 in the following areas: 1.
Medical Surveillance & Employee Medical Records. 2.
Exposure Monitoring To Toxic Or Hazardous Substances. 3.
Hazardous Communications Program - Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 4.
Equipment Inspections. 5.
Tool Inspections. 6.
Employee training. 7.
Work Place / Job-Site inspections. 8.
Safety & Health Committee meeting minutes (if applicable). It is also advisable that you maintain records
on the following: 1.
Distribution of safety & health related information, programs,
policies, procedures, etc. 2.
Enforcement actions such as failure to comply reprimands. 3.
Perspective employee testing such as vision, hearing, cardiovascular,
pulmonary function, substance abuse screening, range of motion, etc. The testing in this item are optional and serve as a
base line to verify the employees accurate health condition at the time of hire. This would limit your liability in the
event of an employee claim for damage or injury to only that which is different
than that of the condition tested at the time of hire.
. EXAMPLE: Mr. Jones hired Jan. 1, 1998 without base
line testing claims he has experienced loss of hearing due to working in close proximity to a work
related activity that occurred on February 20, 1998. Pursuant to a hearing test conducted
after the claim, he is found to have a 40%
deficiency in both ears. Potentially, your company could be liable for damages of the
hearing loss. It may have been a
factual claim of loss, or he could have experienced the loss prior to becoming
an employee. Without the base line
testing, you have little if any defense.
. Employee
Safety & Health Record Card. While
the amount of recording identified above may seem to be too volumes to actually
record and maintain, it can most easily be accomplished with a single form for
each employee. This form is called
the Employee Safety & Health Record Card. A sample of this card has been provided
at the end of this section. Whenever
uniform or company wide training is performed, the form may be loaded into the
copier and the recording of information can be entered on all employee cards
with minimum time. Individual
incidents are simply recorded as they occur. Check
Off boxes ( [ ] Yes [ ]No
[
]Issued etc. ) further stream line the entering of
repetitive information. An
employee’s record card should be maintained during their employment and for
several years thereafter. Quality Choice Construction, LLC Employee Safety & Health Record Card

Section Three Job
Site Posting Requirements OSHA requires that each job site have the
following informational signs posted in a conspicuous location that is common
and available to all employees. ·
OSHA US Dept. Of Labor Poster - (Yellow Background
& Black Border & Print.) ·
OSHA Form 200 - Log Of Injuries & Illnesses - (Feb. 1 thru
March 1 annually.) ·
Listing of all Emergency Phone Numbers ·
MSDS Locations ·
Hazard Preparedness Plan With Evacuation Routes.
Plan must be posted on all job-sites and be site specific. The Job-Site inspection, (covered in
Section 4) should include a review of these items. Perhaps the most efficient method of insuring these items are
posted would be to create a new job packet
for the project or job foreman. In addition to the above OSHA required
postings, it should be noted that various local, state and federal agencies
require the posting of employee informational
materials. Typically, these postings must be made in
a conspicuous location that is available to all employees. Failure to post these items will most
assuredly result in a violation and fine and often the OSHA Compliance Officer
will become more critical of the balance of the inspection. Remember this is the first contact
the compliance officer will have with your company. It establishes you level of commitment to your company’s
safety & health program.
Section
Four Job
Site Inspections Requirements: OSHA requires that each job site be
regularly inspected and records be maintained of these inspections. It is our position that this in itself
is significant reason to perform these inspections. HOWEVER, when
performed properly they will assist you in the administration of your program,
identifying potential hazards before they cause costly accidents or injury and
help in maintaining the maintenance of tools and equipment. Application: You must become familiar with your own
company manual and your policies and procedures. Areas that are of concern or items found to be out of
compliance must be addressed immediately. Following
a routine and a clear format will reduce the time required to make an effective
and thorough inspection. We have
provided a sample inspection form in this section for your direct use or
modification. Please note that the applicable OSHA
standard is referenced with each inspection item. This is to provide you with greater ease in locating the
standard for clarification or further information on the subject. This also provides you with a quick
reference to provide sub-contractors or other trades when their actions have
presented a hazard that may present the potential for injury to your
employee’s. Hazards
Created By Others: Potential hazards that may have been
created by sub-contractors or other represented trades should also be addressed
immediately. Allowing your
employees to work in an unsafe environment, even when the hazard is outside of
your immediate control, is a potential loss of an employee and a possible
violation and fine to your company as wells as the offending trade’s. Pursuant to proper notification, when a
violation or hazard remains un-abated, proper action calls for you to remove all
employees from the risk area or area of hazardous exposure. It is advisable to present them with the
facts clearly stated as well as the appropriate section applicable to the
violation or hazard. Many contracts provide for back-charging
sub-contractors or other trades for costs associated with such actions. Clearly this is a management decision
and when exercised must be accompanied by solid documentation. Section Four Job
Site Inspections The
Inspection: It would be impossible to detail every
aspect of a job-site inspection. Included
in this Section is a sample inspection check list. In general, this is structured for a
construction general contractor. Typically
all represented trades will have employee’s exposed to the various work
processes of all other represented trades and completion of the entire
inspection check list is warranted for a complete inspection. Feel free to customize or otherwise
modify this check list to best suit your company’s needs. It is strongly recommended that the
individual performing the inspections review each of the standards involved and
develop an understanding of how they apply to job-site safety. Following completion of a job-site
inspection, the information obtained must be carefully reviewed. Areas that fail to meet the applicable
standard or that are not in compliance must be addressed according to the nature
of the conditions and the extent of the risk involved. Example: During an inspection conducted by a project
manager, it was observed that employee’s were operating electrically powered
hand tools without GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupt) protected power. It was also determined that the
extension cord bringing power from the electrical contractors temporary power
service to the area had cuts in the exterior insulating cover. The inspector noted this problem and decided
that he would bring GFCI cords on the following weeks job meeting and
inspection. The project manager
then left the area and continued the inspection.
A few moments later, another trades employee rolled a steel wheeled
portable scaffold over the cord which caused a fault to ground through the
scaffold and the worker. He fell to
the ground due to electrocution and required emergency medical treatment. The subsequent OSHA accident review
found violations against the electrical contractor, the plumbing contractor (
employer of the injured employee) and the general contractor. In this example, OSHA Section 1926.405-b was
violated. An immediate risk to the
employee’s existed and should have been acted on immediately. In IDLH (immediately dangerous to life
and health) hazards the potential for violation and subsequent fines could be up
to $ 7,000. per employee and may be
multiplied by the total number of employees that could have been affected. $ 7,000.00 Fine X # employees= 7. Maximum potential fine= $ 49,000.00 If it was identified that an employee was
not observing proper lifting techniques while moving material, it would be
acceptable to point this out and make it a topic for a future Tool-Box Talk. (further discussed in Section Five) Section Four Job
Site Inspections Properly
Concluding An Inspection: Following the completion of an
inspection, the person performing it should discuss the results with you project
foreman or project superintendent. Appropriate
immediate actions or follow-up should be acted upon accordingly. Items that may involve other represented
trades should be discussed with their responsible employee on the site. A follow up letter regarding the matter,
the action taken and with whom,
should be forwarded to their office for filing.
A copy as well as other information should be contained with in the
inspection wrap-up report Samples, data, pictures or other evidence
that may be gathered on an inspection should be noted and included by
description in the inspection report. items
collected should be appropriately stored or filed with the inspection report. Inspection
Report: Often the inspection check list will
stand as an acceptable inspection report and is simply filed in the appropriate
job or project folder. Many times
it becomes necessary to attach a brief summation or report. This may include, but is not limited to
Samples, data, pictures or other evidence that may be gathered. A company memo indicating the areas of
concern and required corrections should be forwarded to your foreman or project superintendent. This memo should be reviewed, acted on
accordingly, signed when completed
and returned to the office for filing. Whenever there exists reason to notify
another employer of issues of concern, it is critical that you provide specific
information, identify the actions that you request they take to abate the hazard
and advise of your position regarding the actions you may be required to pursue
to protect the employee’s of your
company. this might also include
any anticipated associated costs. While
this is not an OSHA requirement, it will document you intention and clearly
establish your intent. These actions have been court and AIA
arbitration tested successfully
many times. Most contracts require all trades to
comply with local, state and federal employee safety & health requirements. Failing to do so and placing other
trades employee’s at risk can cost you if you fail to protect your company
properly. This is a system of action, reaction,
correction, and documentation once established and routine will take very little
effort to perform and maintain. Section Four Job

Training OSHA mandates that you provide your
employee’s with the necessary training required to establish and maintain a
risk free working environment. Several
general training areas are standard to nearly all industries and construction
sites. We will not attempt to
discuss or provide specific information on all potential sections of employee
training. This section will
directly address those areas which are common to all job-sites and the issues of
general employee training. We highly recommend that you seek
specific training in areas such as: 1.
Fall Arrest & Protection Devices. 2.
Confined Space Entry Permit Program; Policies, Procedures. 3.
Fork Lift /Truck Operator Licensing. 4.
Overhead Crane, Articulating Boom, Scissor Lifts & Elevated Work
Platforms. 5.
Rigging, Straps & Special Material Handling. 6.
Respiratory Protection. 7.
Working With, In Or Around Asbestos Materials. 8.
Any Specific Area That Requires Employee training In Excess Of That Which
Would Be Considered General Basic Safety & Health Education. Providing your employee’s with the
proper training will actually improve your production efficiency. Safety & Health training improves
confidence in the work place, stabilizes moral and promotes greater loyalty
among the workers. Employees enjoy
establishing a positive work ethic and building a career with a company that
demonstrates by action their genuine concern for the safety and welfare of their
employee’s. Training will essentially begin with the
issuance of your new employee Safety & Health Manuals. Make it a requirement that all
individuals review the contents prior to scheduling your first training session. Each employee package will contain
several pages for them to read and provide agreement or acknowledgment of by
signature and returning to the safety administrator. These pages must be logged on the
employee’s safety & health record card and placed in the permanent files. We organize the manuals with all sign-off
sheets placed in the front of each manual for easy removal, review and
completion. Each employee will
acknowledge by signature the following: 1.
Receipt Of Employee Safety & Health Manual. 2.
Agreement To Comply With The Company Safety & Health
Policies & Procedures. 3.
Agreement To Comply With The Substance Abuse Program. 4.
Acknowledgement Of Basic Safety & Health Training. 5.
Acknowledgement Of The Company Reprimand System For Safety
Issues.
