The New JSA Forms

There has been some confusion on the sign in/sign out, so let’s see if we can clarify the issue in the

next few slides…

04/20/23 4

On every JSA you will see a spot such as this to sign in and sign out.

04/20/23 5

At the beginning of the shift you acknowledge you have reviewed the JSA, believe it is accurate and agree to mitigate the hazards identified. To do so, you sign in for the day here

04/20/23 6

There is a spot to say check if you are an Employee (E), a contractor (C), or a visitor (V). Only one needs to be checked per signature. Note that Temp employees are contractors.

04/20/23 7

At the END of the shift or task you need to sign out and indicate if you were injured or not. This box shall not be filled out until you are ready to leave. We have noted that some are filling this box out at the beginning of the shift. That is not correct.

04/20/23 8

If you suffered an injury (no matter how minor) you need to check this box with a “Y” and report the injury to your supervisor immediately.

Note that all injuries must be reported to your supervisor, Healthforce must be contacted and a report sent to EHS.

The most hazardous of energies… Human Energy

04/20/23 10

An Installer was installing 30’ pipe.  The pipe was egg shaped and he was having a hard time connecting the two joints together.  Another Installer came to assist,  grabbing the other end of pipe and lifting it up to try and position it. The two employees were not communicating what they were doing, and in the process caught a left pinky finger in-between pipes causing a laceration to his finger.  The bone was broken between the knuckle and base of the finger, and one nerve was lacerated.

Remember to always stay clear of Pinch Points!

What happens when your teammate pushes on the pipe?

Remember to always stay clear of Pinch Points!

This type of incident is not isolated to just one.

A crew was installing 10" pipe on a water transfer job.  As the Installer was placing the pipe into position, a crew member pushed the pipe before the Installer was ready causing his finger to get caught between the pipe.  The Installer was taken to the local hospital and received stitches for the laceration.

Group Discussion…Where might else we have these types of incidents?How do we avoid these

injuries?04/20/23 20

We can cause our own injuries.

What happens when the energy we put into the system comes to a stop unexpectedly?

PIPE CAUGHT ON TRAILER

EMPLOYEE STRIKES CHIN

Another example of where lack of focus and Human energy goes poorly.

An Installer was carrying a 12” x 8” vic steel reducer in each hand to load on the deck of a F550, as he was placing one of the reducers on the truck, his right ring finger was pinched. Due to the extent of the injury an ambulance was called and the team member was transport to a local emergency room.  Due to the extent of the injuries, a specialist had been called to determine treatment.
