Purpose: The General Duty Clause provides enforcement action where no specific OSHA regulations cover a particular hazard.

The General Duty Clause:

Fourteen thousand Americans die from on-the-job accidents every year

A worker is injured every 19 seconds

Most accidents occur within an employee’s first six months on a new job

EMERGENCY ACTIONS

Merrick SafetyPROGRAM

Emergency Preparedness & Response

29 CFR 1910.37-38, 157, 160

Know your evacuation route.

Know where the evacuation muster area is for your work area.

If you evacuate to the muster area, you must not leave until you are released by management. We must be able to account for all employees.

It is everyone’s responsibility to notify supervision of fires and other emergencies! Never assume someone else has made the call.

Escorts are responsible for visitors. Escorts must brief visitors concerning evacuation procedures.

Know the signal that indicates you should evacuate your work area.

Fire extinguishers are strategically located everywhere in the facility. Know where they are in your work area.

If you use an extinguisher always point the extinguishing stream at the base of the fire.

Never underestimate the travel speed of fire and the seriousness of open flames in an industrial environment.

Personal Protective Equipment

At Your Specific Job, You Will Learn:•When protection is needed

•What kind of protection

•How to use protection

•Limitations of protection

•How to maintain,care for and dispose of protection

Personal Protective Equipment29 CFR 1910.132

Safety glassesSafety glasses with side shields are required in the shop and other designated areas at all times.

In addition to safety glasses, face shieldssafety glasses, face shields must be worn when grinding metal.

Follow local job procedures concerning PPE selection, use and maintenance.

Safety shoesSafety shoes are not required when passing through the shop in the safety aisles, but are required when working in, or out of, the safety aisles. They may also be required in specially designated areas.

The OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard establishes uniform requirements to make sure that the respiratory hazards of all U.S. workplaces are evaluated, and that engineering and work practice controls are implemented.

Respiratory Protection29 CFR 1910.139

Merrick SafetyPROGRAM

•Respirator users must have medical exams and certified as being able to safely wear the respirator.

OSHA requires:

Regular program evaluations, with annual Audiograms.

Work area noise surveillance. Must be below 85 dBA.

Proper selection of noise exposure equipment.

Inspection, cleaning, maintenance and storage of equipment.

Hearing Conservation29 CFR 1910.95

Noise is Everywhere!

Merrick SafetyPROGRAM

Ergonomics29 CFR 1910

Merrick SafetyPROGRAM

Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker.

When there is a mismatch between the physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the worker, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) can result.

WMSDs now account for 34 % of all lost workday injuries and illnesses.

Ergonomics29 CFR 1910

Keys to Success

Reduce:repeated motion

forceful hand exertions

prolonged bending

Working above shoulder height

vibration

Rely on equipment - not backs - for heavy or repetitive lifting.

Provide “micro” breaks to allow muscles to recover.

Ergonomics29 CFR 1910

Safety Tips for Lifting•Don’t lift objects over your head.

•Don’t twist your body when lifting or setting an object down.

•Don’t reach over an obstacle to lift a load.

•Squat down, bending your knees - not your back.

•Use your legs to bring you to a standing position.

•Pace yourself to avoid fatigue when doing heavy work for a long period of time.
