🤕REAL SAFETY STORIES - EPISODE 13: LEAF CLEANUPS “I was 18 years old overseeing 4 guys doing leaf cleanups.
•
It was 7 pm everyone, was pi**ed and wanted to go home.
•
Those baggers on s**g tiger cats clog due to wet grass ect.
•
Mine was clogged so I shut the mower off removed shoot and reached in like I ALWAYS do, this time the belt still had tension on it, and when I removed the debris, the fan slipped and crushed my hand breaking 4 fingers.
•
The pictures you see are two surgery’s… all fingers healed great except the one you see, my middle finger was cut clean off, so they put pins in it, when they removed the pins, my bone shifted and broke a week later, now i have 2 plates and 8 screws in my hand and can never straighten it again.
•
I had 2 years experience at the time, shouldn’t have been rushing, I should have taken my time and used something to unclog the bagger.”

🛴MATERIAL HANDLING - DO NOT RIDE PALLET JACKS: Do NOT Ride on the Forks of a Pallet Jack OR allow others to be Carried - do NOT Stand on a Pallet Jack.
•
➰Pallet Jacks (OR PALLET TRUCKS) ARE used in MANY Industrial, Warehouse, Wholesale AND Big-Box Retail Facilities - most Incidents involve the Improper USE of Pallet Jacks due to Lack of Training.
•
👨‍🏫Do NOT Operate a Pallet Jack UNLESS you ARE Trained, AND Authorized.
•
🔎Inspect BEFORE each USE - Wheels, Forks, Fluid Leaks, Controls, Handles, Levers, and Horns.
•
🥾Wear your PPE - Gloves, Safety Boots/Shoes, Lumbar Support, etc.
•
⚖️Know the Maximum Load Limit of the Pallet Jack you ARE Operating - NEVER Overload a Pallet Jack.
•
📚Ensure Loads ARE Stacked evenly on the Forks BEFORE Moving the Pallet Jack.
•
🧐Inspect the Floors where the Pallet Jack will be Driven to ensure the path is clear.
•
⬇️Keep Loads as close to the Ground as possible for Transport.
•
⚠️Operate the Pallet Jack at a Safe Speed - Start Moving Slowly AND come to a Stop Slowly.
•
➖Do NOT Steer Pallet Jacks onto uneven surfaces AND avoid Steep inclines.
•
🦵🏼WHEN possible, Push Pallet Jacks during Transport - Pulling MAY Allow better Maneuverability BUT puts considerable Strain on the Back - Pushing uses stronger Leg Muscles AND keeps the Back straight.
•
🛑NEVER Try to Stop a Pallet Jack with Hands OR Feet, this COULD cause serious Injury, especially with a very Heavy Load.
•
🚶‍♂️WHEN NOT in USE, Pallet Jacks SHOULD be Rolled into an Area that does NOT have Pedestrian Traffic.
•
🧯Do NOT Store Pallet Jacks in ANY Area where they Block Fire Extinguishers, Emergency Equipment OR ANY Exits.
•
🚗Park unused Pallet Jacks on a level surface, with the forks lowered.

👀SITUATIONAL AWARENESS - BE ATTENTIVE: ALWAYS be Aware of your Surroundings - on AND off the Job!
•
🚶🏻‍♀️Watch where you ARE Walking, Sitting, & Standing.
•
🚘Watch where you are Driving.
•
📱ONLY use Phones when you ARE at a stand still OR the Job is stopped - Phones are a huge distraction in our Society today!
•
👥Conversations with others in the Work Area OR Red Zone ARE a Distraction.
•
🗄Every Job has inherent Dangers, from Heavy Machinery to Tripping Over Items in the Office.
•
💡Knowing your Surroundings is the best way to KEEP yourself Safe - the more familiar you ARE with your Tasks AND Workplace, the more Aware you WILL be of the potential Hazards.

•
🟫Use a Ladder ONLY on a Solid, Stable, Level Surface, UNLESS it has been secured (top or bottom) to prevent displacement.
•
📦Do NOT place a Ladder on Boxes, Barrels, Tables, Boards, OR other Unstable Bases to obtain additional height.
•
〰️Do NOT place a Ladder on Slippery, Wet OR Soft Surfaces.
•
🔝Do NOT use the Top Step/Rung of a Ladder as a Step/Rung UNLESS it was Designed for that purpose.

💠NEVER lean a Straight, Extension, OR an unopened Portable Ladder against a Window Pane OR other Unstable Surface.
•
4️⃣:1️⃣4 to 1 Ratio, for every 4 feet high the Ladder reaches up, set the Base of the Ladder 1 foot out from the wall. (This can be estimated by counting Rungs, which are about one foot apart).

✂️SCISSOR LIFT SAFETY - DO NOT STAND ON RAILS: It is NOT Permissible to allow Workers to Stand On Guardrails OR Handrails of ANY type of Scaffold OR Lift (Scissor Lift, Aerial Lift, etc.) in order to perform work - even IF they use a Personal Fall Arrest System!
•
❌The requirements of 29 CFR Part 1926 Subpart L (Scaffolds) applies to Scissor Lifts - there is NO single provision in the Scaffold standard that states that this practice is prohibited, BUT ALL of the requirements of the Scaffold standard COULD NOT be met while engaging in this practice.
•
🏋️‍♂️Each Scaffold AND Scaffold Component SHALL be capable of supporting, without failure, its own weight AND at least four times the maximum intended Load applied OR transmitted to it - 1926.451(a)(1).
•
📚Scaffolds SHALL be Loaded in accordance with its design - 1926.451(a)(6).
•
♒️Scaffold AND Scaffold Components SHALL NOT be Loaded in excess of the maximum intended loads OR rated capacities, whichever is less - 1926.451(f)(1).
•
📐To meet these requirements with Workers standing on the Guardrails, the Scaffold WOULD have to be Designed so that the Load imposed by Workers Climbing onto AND Standing on the Guardrails (eccentric loads included) WOULD be within the capacity of the Guardrail, ALL other Scaffold Components, AND Scaffold as a whole, with a safety factor of 4:1 - Scaffold Guardrails AND its Components ARE typically NOT Designed to handle such loads.
•
⛩IF a Worker were to Stand on the Guardrail, it WOULD be considered a Scaffold Platform, which is “a work surface, elevated above lower levels..” - the Guardrail WOULD THEN have to meet the Requirements in 1926.451(b) Scaffold Platform Construction.

📦MATERIAL HANDLING - NEVER CLIMB SHELVES OR PALLET RACKS: Shelves AND Racks ARE NOT Designed for Climbing - it is tempting for a Worker to Climb a Shelve OR a Rack to reach a higher Product to Pull Orders OR Adjust Materials, AND it is typically faster to Climb THAN it is to get a Rolling Ladder OR a Forklift - BUT it is DANGEROUS!
•
📐Shelves AND Racks ARE NOT Designed to be Climbed - the Lack of Hand AND Footholds welcomes a Fall AND the Side Load COULD cause the Shelf OR Rack to Tip Over OR Collapse.
•
🔩ALL Pallet Rack Columns SHOULD be Anchored OR Secured to the Floor with Baseplates AND Bolts to KEEP them in an Upright Position AND Prevent Racks from Collapsing due to Impact Forces caused by Forklift Collisions OR Seismic Forces from Earthquakes.
•
🔢Load Ratings MUST be Posted with the Maximum Permissible Unit Load AND/OR Maximum Uniformly distributed load per level, the average unit load, and maximum total load per bay.
•
🆘Actively discourage the Climbing by Posting DO NOT CLIMB OR NO
CLIMBING Signs.
•
🔒Secure Storage - Storage of Material SHALL NOT create a Hazard - Bags, Containers, Bundles, etc., Stored in Tiers SHALL be Stacked, Blocked, Interlocked AND Limited in Height so that they ARE Stable AND Secure against Sliding OR Collapse. CFR 1910.176(b).
•
🗑Housekeeping - Storage Areas SHALL be KEPT free from accumulation of Materials that constitute Hazards from Tripping, Fire, Explosion, OR Pest Harborage - Vegetation Control will be Exercised WHEN necessary. CFR 1910.176(c) & 1926.250(c).
•
➕Permanent Aisles AND Passageways SHALL be appropriately marked (Taped Off) - AND everyone MUST use them. 1910.176(a).
•
⬜️Aisles AND Passageways SHALL be Kept Clear to provide for the Free AND Safe Movement of Material Handling Equipment OR Employees - such Areas SHALL be Kept in Good Repair. 1926.250(a)(3).
•
🔎Material Handling Equipment MUST be Inspected, regularly AND as necessary, AND Maintained in a Safe Condition.

↖️LEANING TO THE LEFT
•
🈷️LADDER SAFETY - NEVER LEAN LADDERS AGAINST UNSTABLE SURFACES: NEVER Lean a Straight or Extension Ladder against a Window Pane OR other Unstable Surface.
•
🛠Carry Tools in a Tool Belt, Raise Tools up using a Hand Line, OR have Coworkers Hand up Tools/Equipment - NEVER Carry Tools/Equipment in your Hands while Climbing Up/Down a Ladder.
•
🖐When Ascending OR Descending the Ladder, ALWAYS face the Ladder AND maintain a firm Hand Hold - Do NOT Attempt to Carry other Objects in your Hand(s) while Climbing.
•
4️⃣:1️⃣4 to 1 Ratio, for every 4 feet high the Ladder reaches up, set the Base of the Ladder 1 foot out from the wall. (This can be estimated by counting Rungs, which are about one foot apart).
•
🦶ALWAYS ensure a Ladder is secure by either have a Helper (Spotter) support the Base while a Ladder is being used - OR - IF the Ladder CAN NOT be held by someone else, make sure it has an appropriate Foot to prevent it from Slipping.
•
➖Use a Ladder ONLY on a Solid, Stable, Level Surface, UNLESS it has been secured (top or bottom) to prevent displacement.
•
📦Do NOT place a Ladder on Boxes, Barrels, Tables, or other Unstable Bases to obtain additional height.
•
〰️Do NOT place a Ladder on Slippery, Wet OR Soft surfaces.
•
🔝Do NOT use the Top Step/Rung of a Ladder as a Step/Rung UNLESS it was Designed for that purpose.
•
⛔️Standing on the Top Rung or Step of the Ladder makes the Ladder very unstable AND prone to tip over.
•
1️⃣Person at a time is permitted on the Ladder - UNLESS - the Ladder is specifically designed for more than one Climber (e.g. Trestle Ladder).
