Safety Planning

Your design and development plans may also need to be subdivided into plans for special aspects of the design, such as reliability plans, safety plans, electromagnetic compatibility plans, configuration management plans.

DDESB policies, philosophy, and safety criteria are reflected in published chemical ammunition standards which were published in the Federal Register (41 FR 20686) and in DoD Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards (1 ). These standards are used to review the site plans, safety submissions, and in conducting worldwide safety surveys of activities that store or handle DoD chemical ammunition. The surveys, however, are not conducted just to evaluate compliance with chemical ammunition and explosives safety standards. The surveys are a means whereby the DDESB Secretariat can keep informed on the military departments safety posture, determine the need for new standards or change to existing ones, and detect hazardous conditions.

Safety professionals should be aware that COBRA is administered by several federal agencies. The U.S. Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service-Treasury Department have jurisdiction over private sector group health plans, and the Department of Health and Human Services governs public sector health plans. Safety professionals should be aware that the U.S. Department of Labor provides the regulations and interpretations addressing disclosure and notification requirements. 

The result is the confirmation that the planned safety devices exist and that their operabihty is guaranteed. Hence, the approval for commissioning of the plant can be given.

The basic idea of a ISO is simple It is a special effort to see how employees do their jobs. Planned safety observation involves more effort than an occasional or incidental observation of job procedures. This chapter describes various ways of determining unsafe practices and violations of safety rules. This accident prevention method emphasizes the importance of a proper supervisor-employee relationship. Becoming more interested in the employee through observations will lead to greater cooperation in the safety and health program. 

In a planned observation, the supervisor selects the employee and the job to observe. The supervisor also decides the most suitable time. Some supervisors may want to make assignments for planned job safety observations. The basic tool for making a planned observation is job safety/hazard analysis (JSA/JHA). (If a JSA/JHA is not used, the supervisor must be completely familiar with the job steps, job hazards, and safe job procedures.) The supervisor should observe the employee doing a complete job cycle, paying attention to safe or unsafe procedures and conditions. A Planned Job Safety Observation Form should be used (see Table 14.1). All safe practices noted should result in a sincere compliment to the employee involved while any unsafe actions call for appropriate corrective measures. In either instance, the supervisor should make an observation record. A planned safety observation is a valuable loss prevention tool. 

To conduct a planned safety observation, a method must be established to select jobs to observe. The same selection method used in job safety analysis can be used in the job observation selection. These selections are divided into four areas listed below. 

Supervisors may have reasons for observing certain employees. For example, repeat offenses or observed unsafe behavior are examples of an area where a job would be selected because of individual needs. The supervisor should select the repeat offender for regular planned safety observations. Such planned observations can show reasons why some employees have more accidents than others. Another area selected for observation includes chronically unsafe employees. These may be workers who take unnecessary chances, violate safety rules, and develop improper work methods. Workers suspected of being physically or mentally incapable of safe work may also fit into the area of individual needs. 

Many accidents involve experienced employees, and planned safety observations can detect the reasons. Some workers who have been doing a job for many years will often develop short-cuts and effort-saving practices that are hazardous. Because accidents have not happened before, they will insist that the short-cuts are safe. 

Inexperienced workers reqnire lireqnent planned safety observations to establish exactly what they know and do not know about doing their work safely. Further instruction and guidance are nsnaUy the required procedures after observations show the need for additional safety training. 

A planned safety observation gives snpervisors a positive means of determining the effectiveness of safety instructions. It also serves as a learning tool for the supervisor. The supervisor learns more abont each job, each worker, and areas requiring closer supervision. The supervisor will learn to be more perceptive in all areas of responsibility that will result in the best distribution of supervisory time. The supervisor... 

Because supervising workers means observing, the supervisor is the most qualified to make job safety observations. He or she knows the workers and the training they have received, and knows the jobs and how these jobs should be done. With proper preparation, the supervisor can conduct a thorough observation. Other management personnel may take part in the planned safety observation but the supervisor must ultimately be responsible for observation. 

With this in mind, there is another consideration in preparing for the planned safety observation. Should you inform the employee in advance about the observation Under certain conditions, the employee should have advance notice. 

If the employee is new, or one who has relatively little experience, tell him or her in advance. This is also true for an employee who may have experience but has never been checked using a planned safety observation. 

Although safety talks are short, these types of talks should not become just a routine part of the workday. Thus, to be effective, they must cover current concerns or information, be relevant to the job, and have value to the workers. Plan safety talks carefully in order to effectively convey a specific message and a real accident prevention technique. Select topics applicable to the existing work environment plan the presentation and focus on one issue at a time. Use materials to reinforce the presentation and clarify the expected outcomes. Some guidelines to follow ... 

An organization will have an insurance premium calculated annually for the coverage of its employees however, with the assistance of the organization s accountant, the premium may be divided between departments. Departmental workers compensation costs may then be offset against the allocated premium each month. This method will allow departments to recognize their costs and plan safety management in a pro-active fashion, to reduce the loss from injury experience. For example, the total workers compensation premiums for company XYZ may be 100 000 currency units (e.g. euro).
