General safety rules

General safety rules are the final part of the motor fleet employee safety training program. These are general topics that should be familiar to every employee and manager. Remember  

If these general areas are covered, then attention can be focused on making the safety program a success. However, keep in mind that a complete motor fleet employee safety program starts with commitment and effort from everyone in the organization. 

You must understand that these work rules are generic and need to be expanded or condensed based on your site-specific needs. These categories can be further divided into specific terms that are more specific to your operation. For example  

Report any defective tools or equipment to your supervisor. Properly maintain and be responsible for all personal protective equipment. 

Safety rules are most effective when they are written, posted, and discussed with all affected employees. Many employers emphasize the link between safety rules and the consequences of breaking them by reviewing the rules with their employees. They then ask the employees to sign a statement I have read and understand the safety rules, and I have received an explanation of the consequences of breaking them. The employer and the employee both keep a copy of this signed statement [2]. 

One of the major keys to developing safety is employee participation, as discussed in Chapter 7. When employees play a role in formulating the rules, they are more likely to understand and follow them [3]. 

Safety rules may also apply to specific jobs or tasks and may involve specific procedures for accomplishing a particular job or task— for example, development of job hazard analyses as described in Chapter 15. Safe work practices are generally derived from job hazard analyses. From a detailed job hazard analysis, you may determine that safe work practices must be changed or that a training program must be conducted. 

The earliest plants for nitroglycerine manufacture were installed in buildings of very light construction made of planks and sui rounded by a high mound of earth (Fig. 61).

There is now a tendency to revert from underground buildings to less expensive lightly constructed surface ones, as for example the buildings for the modem Biazzi plant shown in Fig. 64. 

The floor inside each building should be lined with sheet-lead, turned up at the edges close to the walls and door in order to form a border about 10 cm high, intended to contain any nitroglycerine that may be spilt. 

Nitroglycerine that escapes onto the floor or onto parts of the machinery, etc. should be removed by means of a sponge from which it is then extracted and rinsed under a stream of water into a special vessel for nitroglycerine waste. The spillage area should then be washed with water, by means of another sponge. If acid escapes the area should be covered with siliceous earth or with fine sand, and the whole removed by means of a shovel and drowned in a large amount of water. A copper or aluminium shovel is necessary in case nitroglycerine is present in the acid.
