Fall protection
Download as pptx, pdf1 like161 views
Falls are the leading cause of fatalities in construction, often due to unstable work surfaces, improper use of fall protection equipment, and human error. Studies show guardrails, fall arrest systems, safety nets, covers, and restraint systems can prevent many deaths and injuries from falls by providing safer elevated work surfaces, protecting workers near floor and roof edges, covering floor holes, and using safety nets or harnesses.

Cranes safety
Cranes safetyYAWAR HASSAN
油
This document outlines safety precautions for crane operation to prevent injuries. It notes that injuries often occur when workers are struck by overhead loads or caught in the crane's swing radius. It lists steps like inspecting equipment for damage, knowing load weights, ensuring loads don't exceed capacity, checking rigging, fully extending outriggers, and maintaining clearance from power lines. Following these procedures can help avoid significant injuries from improper crane use.Scaffolding safety
Scaffolding safetyYAWAR HASSAN
油
This document outlines safety guidelines for erecting and using scaffolds. It states that scaffolds must be properly erected and supported to hold at least 4 times their intended load without movement. Scaffolds must have guardrails and toeboards installed, and damaged scaffold parts must be replaced. A competent person must inspect scaffolds at designated intervals to ensure safety compliance.Electrical safety
Electrical safetyYAWAR HASSAN
油
Electrical safety guidelines require that all power be shut off and grounds attached before working on energized circuits. An effective lockout/tagout system must also be in place. Frayed, damaged, or worn electrical cords or cables should be promptly replaced. Extension cords must have grounding prongs, and flexible cords and cables should be protected from damage by avoiding sharp corners and projections. Electrical tools and equipment must be properly maintained and checked regularly for defects, with defective items taken out of service. Protective systems and devices should not be bypassed, and overhead power lines must be properly identified and maintained at a safe distance.Protecting yourself in the sun

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight causes premature aging of the skin and increases risk of skin cancer. The amount of damage depends on strength, length of exposure, and skin protection. Skin cancers often appear as changing spots on the skin. To protect skin, cover up with clothing, use sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater, wear a hat, sunglasses, and limit time in the sun between 10am and 4pm. See a doctor immediately if any unusual skin changes appear.Forklifts safety

Ladders safetyYAWAR HASSAN
油
Ladders and stairways are a major cause of injuries for construction workers, with OSHA estimating 24,882 injuries and 36 deaths per year due to falls. Proper ladder safety is important to prevent accidents - ladders should be visually inspected for defects before each use, the right ladder should be chosen for the task, and ladders should not be overloaded beyond their weight rating. Damaged ladders should be marked as unsafe and destroyed.Tool box talks

Falls are a leading cause of worker deaths in construction. The document discusses fall hazards and prevention techniques. It emphasizes using passive fall protection like guardrails before fall arrest equipment. Fall arrest systems require anchorage strength of 5,000 lbs, harnesses with arrest forces below 1,800 lbs, and lanyards often with energy absorption. Proper planning, training, inspections and rescue planning are essential to reduce falls in construction.Fall Protection in Constuction

Falls are a leading cause of worker deaths in construction. Proper fall protection includes guardrails, covers, fall arrest systems, and planning to eliminate hazards. Fall arrest systems must include an anchorage rated for 5,000 lbs, a body harness limiting the arresting force to 1,800 lbs, and an energy absorbing lanyard. Elimination of fall hazards through design changes is the best approach according to the hierarchy of fall protection. Covers must support twice their weight and free fall must be less than 24 inches for work positioning.Ppt Workplace Fall Protection

Fall protection is important for workers at height. Every year, falls cause deaths and injuries for construction workers, roofers, and others. While it would be safest to eliminate fall risks, working at heights is necessary for many jobs. Employers must conduct risk assessments, develop fall protection plans, train workers, and ensure prompt rescue if a fall occurs to help prevent injuries from suspension trauma. Proper use of guardrails, fall restraint, fall arrest, safety nets, harnesses and lanyards can help minimize fall risks.Construction Fall Protection

Falls from heights are a leading cause of workplace fatalities in the construction industry. There are three major components to preventing fall accidents: fall arrest systems, ladder safety, and scaffold safety. All employees working at heights of six feet or more must be protected by an approved fall protection system. Common causes of fall accidents include failure to recognize hazards, messy work areas, lack of fall protection equipment, and untrained workers. Proper fall protection equipment includes guardrails, fall arrest systems, covers, and warning lines. Fall arrest systems limit free falls to six feet or less using lanyards, harnesses, and anchorage points attached above the worker. Equipment and workers must be properly trained to use fall protection safely andOsha 3 step fall protection
