Safety climbs

Equipment that can be reached for inspection, repair, or monitoring from permanent platforms is more likely to be inspected, calibrated, and replaced than equipment that requires climbing with a safety harness or scaffold. 

Levels, tapes, thermometers, hydrometers, light meters, smoke detectors, audio-sensors. Features such as cradle rails, safety eyes and climbing irons should be incorporated into the design of the building. 

Twin-bed DI often ceases to be economical when TDS levels begin to climb, and it can be subject to bacterial infection and resin fouling. Also, there are cost and safety issues associated with chemical regenerant storage, consumption, and discharge. As a technology, however, DI provides the widest possible versatility. 

The glass sash of the hood is a safety shield. The sash will fall automatically to the appropriate height for efficient operation and should not be raised above this level, except to move equipment in and out of the hood. Keep the sash between your body and the inside of the hood. If the height of the automatic stop is too high to protect your face and body, lower the sash below this point. Do not stick your head inside a hood or climb inside a hood. 

I was ready to install the culvert dams. The outflow of the northern culvert was not easily accessible—it exits on a steep, unstable grade—so I first drilled a hole in the top of the culvert near the lip. Here, I used a %-inch bolt to secure a fitting to the top to which I was able to attaeh a elip of my tower-climbing belt. This safety harness enabled me to work hands free while installing the culvert dam. I tested the fit of the plate and drilled the holes for the barrel bolts in the eulvert s wall. With each culvert dam in place, I joined the diversion (culvert dam-to-barrel) pipes without glue to eaeh eulvert dam through the appropriate adapter. I then slid back the barrel bolts and tested the extent to which I could shift, lift, turn, or remove the culvert dam assemblies for periodic cleanout (or replacement) and safely re-install them. 

Many of the workers on the eighth floor were able to squeeze through the doorway and found refuge either on the street or, after that passageway had been cut off, on the roof. Others crowded into the two elevators which ferried dangerously heavy loads to safety. Those who climbed on to the fire escape, however, found that the narrow, flimsy structure was blocked by an open shutter locked into place. As more and more women piled on to it the structure buckled from the heat and collapsed, sending dozens of workers to their death eight stories below. Most of those on the tenth floor were able to escape either to the roof or by one of the elevators, which made its first stop for the executives. It...

Rather than have each location manager draft a safety program, one was provided them containing the basics with the understanding that they were to flesh it out to suit their particular operation and needs. Rather soon, facilities improved their safety program efforts to the extent that audit scores continued to climb while workplace injuries continued to decline. The higher audit scores provided a friendly competition among facilities to excel. 

Audit scores continued to climb, reflecting continued improvement in safety management. Results became so good that it was decided to have some locations quality for OSHA s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). For that program, superior results must be demonstrated and the location must meet the requirements of a thorough safety management audit. 

While the project was constructed without major incident, some considered that the construction of the reefs was a hazardous operation and, due to the high accretion, they now pose a public safety issue. The construction operations were particularly hazardous as they involved marine plant working close to rock structures in the surf zone. The accretion behind the reef and subsequent public access means that health and safety issues will be a problem for the whole design life. The environment used to consist of a naturally sloping sandy beach but now includes an accessible rock reef which is hazardous to climb and with deep water existing on the seaward side of the structure. 

Must be able to hook/unhook various commercial vehicle combinations, manually lower and raise landing gear, operate the fifth wheel release lever, lock and release pintle-hooks, attach and release safety chains, open and close cargo doors, climb into and out of vehicles, fuel vehicles, and check engine oil and coolant levels. 

An acronym for Days Away, Restricted work activity, and/or job Transfer (DART) Case Incidence Rate and is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as the rate of recordable injuries and illness cases per 100 full-time employees resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity, and/or job transfer that a site has experienced in a given time frame. Restricted cases are defined as any occupational injury or illness that results in the limitation of employees ability to do their job (i.e., no lifting, climbing, etc.) or being transferred to another job (restricted days). The annual DART rate is calculated according to the following formula ...

Paul put on Salvador s harness, which was too big, even when adjusted to its smallest size. Salvador wrapped the lanyard around the overhead beam. Just as Paul climbed over the guardrail, Greg, the safety coordinator, walked up.
