Supervisor: \[SUPERVISOR NAME]
Task Overview
This pre-task plan outlines the safety procedures and risk assessments required to prevent accidents and ensure safe work practices before starting any task. It includes hazard identification, control measures, required PPE, emergency procedures, and other safety considerations.
Expected Duration: Variable, depending on the task
Number of Workers: All workers involved in the task
Required PPE and Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment
- Hard Hat: Provides head protection against impact, penetration, and electrical shock. Must meet ANSI Z89\.1 standards. Inspect before each use for cracks, dents, or damage. Replace if damaged or after any impact.
- Safety Glasses/Goggles: Protects eyes from dust, debris, chemical splashes, and other hazards. Select appropriate lens for the task (e.g., clear for general use, tinted for outdoor work). Ensure a snug fit and replace if scratched or damaged.
- Gloves: Protects hands from cuts, abrasions, chemical exposure, and temperature extremes. Select appropriate glove type for the task (e.g., leather for general work, nitrile for chemical handling). Inspect for tears or punctures before use.
- Safety Boots: Provides foot protection against impact, compression, and punctures. Must meet ASTM F2413 standards. Ensure a proper fit and inspect for damage before each use. Steel-toe boots are recommended for construction and heavy lifting.
- Ear Protection (Earplugs or Earmuffs): Protects against loud noises that can cause hearing damage. Use when noise levels exceed 85 decibels. Ensure a proper fit and replace if damaged or worn.
- Respirator: Provides respiratory protection against dust, fumes, and other airborne contaminants. Select the appropriate respirator type for the specific hazard and ensure a proper fit. Conduct fit testing and training before use.
Tools and Equipment
- Hand Tools: Used for various tasks such as cutting, hammering, and prying. Inspect for damage before use and ensure the handle is securely attached. Use the correct tool for the job and wear appropriate PPE (e.g., safety glasses, gloves).
- Power Tools: Used for tasks such as drilling, grinding, and sawing. Inspect for damage before use and ensure all safety guards are in place. Use the correct tool for the job and wear appropriate PPE (e.g., safety glasses, gloves, ear protection). Ensure proper grounding and avoid using in wet conditions unless the tool is specifically designed for it.
- Lifting Equipment (e.g., Cranes, Hoists): Used for lifting and moving heavy loads. Inspect for damage before use and ensure it is properly rated for the load. Use proper lifting techniques and wear appropriate PPE (e.g., safety boots, gloves).
- Ladders: Used for access to elevated work areas. Inspect for damage before use and ensure it is placed on a stable surface. Follow all safety guidelines for ladder use, including maintaining three points of contact and not exceeding the weight limit.
Hazard Analysis
Identified Hazards
| Hazard | Risk Level | Potential Consequences |
|---|---|---|
| Slips, trips, and falls due to wet or uneven surfaces, obstacles, or poor housekeeping. | Medium | Minor to severe injuries, including sprains, fractures, cuts, and head trauma. |
| Exposure to hazardous chemicals, such as cleaning agents, solvents, or pesticides. | Medium | Skin irritation, respiratory problems, chemical burns, or long-term health effects. |
| Musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive motions, awkward postures, or heavy lifting. | Medium | Strains, sprains, back injuries, and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). |
| Electrical hazards, such as contact with live wires, faulty equipment, or damaged cords. | High | Electric shock, burns, electrocution, and fires. |
| Working at heights without proper fall protection. | High | Serious injuries or fatalities from falls. |
| Exposure to biohazards, including raw sewage when working on sewage pipes or septic tank outlets, when laying new pipe in soil, or flood clean-up. [3] | Medium | Tetanus, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis A, B, or C, Bacteria such as E. coli, and parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidium. |
| Potential infection from bird or rodent droppings [3] | Low | histoplasmosis, psittacosis, hantavirus |
Control Measures
- Regularly inspect and clean work areas. Address spills immediately and ensure proper drainage. Provide training on slip, trip, and fall prevention.: Implement good housekeeping practices to keep work areas clean, dry, and free of clutter. Use slip-resistant footwear and provide adequate lighting.
- Review SDSs before using any chemical. Follow manufacturer's instructions for use and disposal. Provide spill cleanup kits and train workers on their use.: Provide training on the hazards of chemicals used in the workplace and proper handling procedures. Use appropriate PPE, such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation and proper storage of chemicals.
- Conduct ergonomic assessments of workstations and tasks. Provide adjustable equipment and tools. Encourage workers to report any discomfort or pain.: Use ergonomic principles to design workstations and tasks to minimize strain and awkward postures. Provide training on proper lifting techniques and encourage regular breaks.
- Ensure only qualified electricians perform electrical work. Provide training on electrical safety and lockout/tagout procedures.: Inspect electrical equipment and cords regularly for damage. Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in wet locations. Lockout and tagout electrical equipment before performing maintenance.
- Conduct a fall hazard assessment before starting work at heights. Inspect fall protection equipment before each use. Ensure anchor points are properly rated.: Use fall protection equipment, such as harnesses, lanyards, and guardrails, when working at heights above 6 feet. Ensure proper training on the use of fall protection equipment.
- Do not eat or drink while working in a potentially contaminated area. Wash your hands before meals. After working with raw sewage or soil, wash immediately with soap and water. Do not use solvents to wash your hands as the solvents can cause irritation that may lead to skin infections. Learn more about handwashing and the risk of infections.: Avoid exposure to sewage by wearing gloves, coveralls, rubber boots, eye protection, washing your hands, and decontaminating your equipment after use.

Human pathogens from soil and raw sewage can enter the body through the nose or mouth, particularly if a person drinks contaminated water or by touching contamination and then touching your mouth or nose. Exposure can also occur through open wounds or by inhaling (human pathogens in dust, for example). - Avoid exposure to sewage by wearing gloves, coveralls, rubber boots, eye protection, washing your hands, and decontaminating your equipment after use. - Do not eat or drink while working in a potentially contaminated area.

# What are examples of responsibilities of safety coordinators? (cont.) ## Why are safe work procedures established? (cont.) Compliance with health and safety rules should be considered a condition of employment. Rules must be explained to new workers when they start work or if they are transferred or retrained. After a suitable interval, these workers should be briefed to ensure they understand the rules applicable to their work. The employer must establish procedures for dealing with repeat rule violators. Supervisors are responsible for correcting unsafe acts, such as a breach of rules, and they must be supported in this duty. Points that should be considered in establishing procedures on this issue are: - Ensure that workers are aware of the rule. - Ensure that workers are not encouraged, coerced, or forced to disregard the rule by fellow workers. - All rules are to be followed. - All violations will be managed. Action is taken promptly. The role of discipline is that of education, not punishment. - While having guidelines for penalties for the first offence or infractions may be desirable, some flexibility is required when applying the guidelines since each case will vary in its circumstances. - Action is done confidentially, consistently, and recorded. ## How do you establish safe work procedures? Safe work procedures are the safest way of doing a job, job instruction, monitoring performance, and incident investigation. Job safety analysis (JSA), also known as "job hazard analysis", is the first step in developing the correct procedure. In this analysis, each task of a specific job is examined to identify hazards and to determine the safest way to do the job. Job safety analysis involves the following steps: 1. Select the job. 2. Break down the job into a sequence of steps. 3. Identify the hazards. 4. Define preventive measures. - The analysis should be conducted on all critical tasks or jobs as a first priority. Critical jobs include: - Th…
