Very recently I wrote a piece on this exact topic. While Bryan Haywood correctly highlights that the model was developed in the 1920 and from this perspective, it might look progressive, we should not forget that this period (and even later) was dominated by "scientific management" - which was not much science nor management. We should also look at the model as explicative at best, but this is not a predictive model and as such useless in preventing injuries. Here is my long take on the value of the safety pyramid: https://lnkd.in/gviG4ttw

Safety pros, what are some of the things you recommend having in your safety vest? Of course this items add weight, but it’s nice to have some of these safety nerd items handy. Here are some things I’ve carried in the past: 1. Three pens 2. Highlighter 3. Red pen 4. Leather man 5. Seat belt cutter 6. Flashlight 7. Tape measure 8. Mini note pad 9. Small screw driver 10. Safety knife 11. Anemometer 12. Thick black marker #safetyprovestaupplies

Without in depth knowledge of every risk assessment, the individuals, and corresponding PPE specifics you're risking end user's lives & limbs, HSE interventions, and hefty fines. NO JOKE! ⏰ Don't waste time trying to learn what's taken me two solid years. 💰 Avoid mistakes, throwing money and relationships down the pan. 🏥 Stop causing long term musculoskeletal damage, wellbeing, and infection-risk skin lacerations to your women employees whilst you task people with big hearts but not-the-foggiest-idea about PPE to do the work your professionals should have got right A LONG TIME AGO. ✅ Start getting it right, right now, with the knowledge, the confidence, and the connections to protect your people with the equity in safety they deserve! 💡 Because you need your non-average sized, non-religious, non-cisgender, non-male, non-short back and sides employees to stay in your workforce and not go to your competitors [who've already tapped me up]! You need their input! Their view point! 📈 Their lens! Because their POVs mixed with the POVs of your over represented group is where your industry leading innovative solutions are formed. 😜 From my totally unbiased, independent 1 hour webinar you'll get to know: • what is meant by "inclusive PPE", • PPE know-how that benefits your entire workforce, • Get to grips with the supply chain for your ESG knowledge, • The sources of wonderfully fitting, wide ranging, inclusive pieces for your employees of under-represented groups. All for 💰 £750 when you book in June (can be for a future date), usually £900 💁🏻‍♀️ From my on-site ½ day training you'll get: • The above in even more detail, • With me and my PPE rails of many brands, gloves, boots, hard hats, glasses to try on. • If you have specifics I'll even get them sourced for the day. Starting at 💰£1200 when booked in June (can be for a future date), usually starting at £1400. Boost that up to a full day and I'll help you write your PPE policy and PPE checklists too! #boldasbrass #pperevolution #inclusiveppe #ppetraining #WomensSafetyIsHealthAndSafety

Cite or not cite? Fall protection OSHA 1926.451(g), employees using more than 10 feet above a lower level must be protected from falling. These employees are at 30 feet high with no personal fall protection equipment and no PPE.

Are your responses precise? Do you know the reason behind the questions? Does your safety culture proactively support OSHA Regs based on the work your employees perform? Do your leaders understand?

Creating an Incident Action Plan (IAP) is a critical step in Hazmat Emergency Operations. An effective IAP is the key for succesfully managing the scene, treating victims, and preventing secondary incidents that could affect both property and emergency responders. The following is a section of the Incident Action Plan concerning how to manage the scene

💥MANY things wrong here Jason Brozen💥 1) Insufficient Training - Electricity only kills ElectriCIANS, right⁉NOPE! Electricity doesn't care about your title! One of the biggest mistakes I see made by Employers and Safety "Professionals", they pay attention to the TITLE instead of addressing the TASK and the HAZARD. The hazard here is electricity and the tech doesn't have electrical PPE and I bet their employer hasn't given him proper or sufficient electrical safety training. He needs to be a Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW). This looks like an air handler, so assuming it is in fact an air handler, I bet they have no idea that they are required to have ElectriCAL safety training and ElectriCAL PPE. AND, AND,.... HVAC/Mechanical Tech or NOT!, they are exposed to over 50Vac, it's a 3-phase system where arc flash hazards exist AND he's using a multimeter. Drop the title, he needs to be a QEW. HEY❗guess what though⁉------- HVAC technicians don't get injured or killed by electrical hazards because they're not electriCIANS! Only us electriCIANS get injured or killed by electriCAL hazards. RIGHT??? 🤔 2)🔥Possible Arc Flash Hazard present - That's 3-phase, there lies a potential arc flash hazard, protection MAY be required and that is determined by an IEA, that I didn't see on the cover, or by referring to the NFPA 70E tables.🔥 3)⚡Electric Shock Hazard present - Those are 600V rated fuses, he's crossing the 12" Restricted Approach Boundary and he has no Electric Shock PPE. Namely, Rubber Insulating Gloves (RI6s). From what I see, he's not a QEW so technically, he shouldn't even be in there!⚡ 4)💥Not using his DMM correctly - That is a 3-phase/600V rated fused disconnect so that makes it a CAT III exposure. His DMM is CAT III, but his leads are in a CAT II state. He is using his DMM improperly.💥 5)☠No L-D-L - His DMM may have failed. That may be the problem!☠ To use a DMM, ONE (not an electriCIAN, ONE!) who uses a DMM is required to be qualified. The employer must deem this worker qualified to perform electrical testing, troubleshooting and diagnostics on energized equipment. #ElectricalSafety #ESIPAC #NFPA70E #ElectricShock #ArcFlashTraining #ElectricityOnlyKillsElectricians????? #LiveSafe

🚧 Understanding Fall Protection: Arrest vs. Restraint Systems 🚧 In workplace safety, particularly in industries where working at heights is commonplace, understanding the distinction between Fall Arrest Systems and Fall Restraint Systems is not just important—it's potentially life-saving. What’s the Difference? Fall Arrest Systems are designed to stop a fall that's already occurring. They’re your safety net, featuring components like body harnesses, lanyards, anchor points, and deceleration devices that activate in the event of a fall, safely stopping the worker before they hit the ground. Fall Restraint Systems, on the other hand, prevent falls from happening. These systems involve tying a worker to a secure anchor point with equipment such as a tether or body belt that physically prevents them from reaching a point where they could fall. Why Does It Matter? The key to choosing between a fall arrest and fall restraint system lies in understanding the specific task and environment: - Fall Restraint is ideal where the risk can be completely controlled, and the worker can be prevented from reaching the fall hazard. - Fall Arrest is necessary where exposure to a fall cannot be prevented, making it crucial to have a system that can safely stop a fall after it begins. Both systems are critical in protecting workers, but the application of each depends on a thorough risk assessment and understanding of the environment. Implementing the correct system complies with safety regulations like OSHA and significantly reduces the risk of fatal accidents.

If you think this is the proper way to use Fall Protection, you might need to go back to class. #safety #training #fallprotection
