# Option 2 ## Job Hazard Analysis Assessment for PPE: Instructions 1. - Conduct a walk through survey of your business. For each job/task step, note the presence of any of the following hazard types (see table below) their sources, and the body parts at risk. Fill out the left side of the hazard assessment form (for help, see samples on p.29-30). Gather all the information you can. • Look at all steps of a job and ask the employee if there are any variations in the job that are infrequently done and that might have missed during your observation. you • - For purposes of the assessment, assume that no PPE is being worn by the affected employees even though they may actually be wearing what they need to do the job safely. - Note all observed hazards. This list does not cover all possible hazards that employees may face or for which personal protective equipment may be required. Noisy environments or those which may require respirators must be evaluated with appropriate test equipment to quantify the exposure level when overexposure is suspected. <table><tr><th>Hazard Type</th><th>General Description of Hazard Type</th></tr><tr><td>Impact</td><td>Person can strike an object or be struck by a moving or flying or falling object.</td></tr><tr><td>Penetration</td><td>Person can strike, be struck by, or fall upon an object or tool that would break the skin.</td></tr><tr><td>Crush or pinch</td><td>An object(s) or machine may crush or pinch a body or body part.</td></tr><tr><td>Harmful Dust</td><td>Presence of dust that may cause irritation, or breathing or vision difficulty.

# What is a PPE hazard assessment? A personal protective equipment (PPE) hazard assessment is an evaluation of your workplace that helps you determine what hazards your employees are exposed to and what PPE they need to protect themselves. A hazard assessment should include: - The jobs (or tasks) your employees do - The hazards your employees are exposed to • Where the hazards are located - The likelihood those hazards could injure your employees - The severity of a potential injury • The types of PPE necessary to protect your employees from those hazards ## Why should you do a PPE hazard assessment? There are three reasons: 1. A hazard assessment will help you find hazards at your workplace. 2. A hazard assessment will help you determine what personal protective equipment your employees need for protection. 3. Oregon OSHA's rules require you do one. 2

# HYDROGEN SULFIDE IN CONSTRUCTION CAUTION H₁₂S Date Posted: 10/27/2023 Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Hazards in Construction Hydrogen sulfide is prevalent in natural gas and petroleum. As a result, Workers in gas plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, pulp mills, underground mines, sewers, wastewater treatment plants, and asphalt plants are at high risk of exposure. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, flammable, extremely hazardous gas with a "rotten egg" smell. Some common names for the gas include sewer gas, stink damp, swamp gas, and manure gas. It occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, and hot springs. In addition, hydrogen sulfide is produced by the bacterial breakdown of organic materials and human and animal wastes (e.g., sewage). ## HOW CAN YOU GET EXPOSED TO H2S IN THE WORKPLACE? Hydrogen sulfide is a mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritant. Immediate or delayed pulmonary edema occurs after exposure to high concentrations. Breathing high levels causes loss of consciousness after one or more breaths and death within a few more breaths. Lower concentrations can result in eye irritation, sore throat and cough, shortness of breath, and lung fluid. Symptoms of acute exposure include nausea, headaches, delirium, disturbed equilibrium, tremors, skin and eye irritation, and convulsions. Inhaling high concentrations can produce rapid unconsciousness and death. You can be exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas primarily by breathing it. However, you also can be exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas through skin and eye contact. According to WAC 296-841-[redacted postal code], the exposure limits of H2S are ten (10) parts per million (PPM) over an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) and 15 parts per million (PPM) over a 15-minute exposure period. ## HAZARDS OF H2S EXPOSURE Exposure above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) quickly results in loss of consciousness and potentially death. Long-term exposure to lower levels results in H2S passing the lungs an…

# HEAVY EQUIPMENT (cont.) ## SPOTTERS Worker visibility and visual and verbal communication are essential to keeping workers safe around moving construction equipment. Blind spots can be a significant hazard for workers on the ground where the operator is unable to see them. A spotter, using effective means of communication or hand signals, can help communicate between the operator, workers on the ground, and any pedestrians entering the work zone. Spotters must wear high-visibility clothing, stand clear of equipment, and always be visible to the equipment operator. ## GENERAL SAFETY WHEN OPERATING OR WORKING AROUND HEAVY EQUIPMENT • Develop a work zone traffic control plan. Indicate travel routes through the site to eliminate (as much as possible) the need for backing equipment or vehicles. • When vehicles or heavy equipment must operate in reverse, ensure they are equipped with an audible backup alarm. • Inspect equipment before operation to ensure all lights and audible alarms work correctly. • Set up the equipment in the work zone so that construction equipment and workers have adequate space to perform the planned tasks. • Use 3-point mounting and dismounting technique off heavy equipment - NEVER JUMP OFF HEAVY EQUIPMENT. • - Establish a "danger zone," the working area where contact could result in personal injury or damage during operations. • Wear high-visibility clothing when working around heavy mobile equipment. • Use predefined and understood hand signals or two-way radios to control movement within the work zone. • Maintain a clear line of sight between the operator and workers. • Use a spotter when heavy equipment is in motion. This requires communication between the operator and workers to maintain safe movement. • Workers - should keep a safe distance from all sides of the heavy equipment while it is in use. • Be aware of the swing radius on specific equipment and, if possible, cordon off the area with barriers or caution tape. • A…

# Evaluate your employees' exposures to each hazard identified in the baseline survey (cont.) ## Document your hazard assessment For each job assessed, documentation must include the following information: - A heading saying the document is a "certification" of the hazard assessment • The name of the workplace evaluated - The name of the person certifying the hazard assessment was completed PPE hazard assessment certification Workplace evaluated: Person certifying the evaluation: Hazard assessment date: • The date of each hazard assessment Use the PPE hazard assessment and certification form on our website to conduct your own hazard assessment. Construction industry and agricultural employers do not have to document their hazard assessments, but must tell each exposed employee about their PPE selection decisions and meet other rule requirements. ## Do regular workplace inspections Regular inspections tell you whether you have eliminated or controlled existing hazards, and help you identify new hazards. Quarterly inspections by employees trained in hazard recognition are a good way to get the job done. Look for new hazards whenever you change equipment, materials, or work processes. Determine what hazards could result from the changes and how to control them. If your business works at multiple sites, you may need to do a hazard assessment at each site. 6

# SAMPLE PPE POLICIES # Procedures ## A. Hazard Assessment for PPE (Safety Person or designated person), in conjunction with Supervisors, will conduct a walk-through survey of each work area to identify sources of work hazards. Each survey will be documented using the Hazard Assessment Certification Form, which identifies the work area surveyed, the person conducting the survey, findings of potential hazards, and date of the survey. (Safety Person or designated person) will keep the forms in the (Specify exact location, e.g., your company's business files). (Safety Person or designated person) will conduct, review, and update the hazard assessment for PPE whenever • a job changes • new equipment or process is installed • there has been an accident - whenever a supervisor or employee requests it • or at least every year Any new PPE requirements that are developed will be added into (Name of your business)'s written accident prevention program. ## B. Selection of PPE Once the hazards of a workplace have been identified, (Safety Person or designated person) will determine if the hazards can first be eliminated or reduced by methods other than PPE, i.e., methods that do not rely on employee behavior, such as engineering controls (refer to Appendix B - Controlling Hazards). If such methods are not adequate or feasible, then (Safety Person or designated person) will determine the suitability of the PPE presently available; and as necessary, will select new or additional equipment which ensures a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect our employees from the hazards (refer to Appendix C - Selection of PPE). Care will be taken to recognize the possibility of multiple and simultaneous exposure to a variety of hazards. Adequate protection against the highest level of each of the hazards will be recommended for purchase. All personal protective clothing and equipment will be of safe design and construction for the work to be performed an…

# SETTING UP A TAILGATE/TOOLBOX SAFETY MEETING (cont.) ## How to Run an Effective Meeting (cont.) 10. After the meeting, consider the following: • Did the topic fit the job site? • Did the crew participate? • Did someone demonstrate safety equipment or safety practices? 11. Afterwards, evaluate the impact of the tailgate meeting. Are employees now able to recognize and correct hazards? Ask questions, walk the job site, and observe. 12. Document/record the meeting topic, date, attendees, and any actions taken. ## How Often Should You Have Toolbox/Tailgate Meetings? Section 1509 (construction) requires them at least every 10 working days, and Section 8406 (tunneling) at least weekly. However, depending on the work conditions and safety culture of the job site, they should be held more frequently- even daily if necessary. ## Additional Tailgate Meetings Resources Title 8 California Code of Regulations (T8CCR) (www.dir.ca.gov/samples/search/query.htm) - 1509 - IIPP Construction Safety Orders • 3203 - IIPP General Industry Safety Orders • 8406 - IIPP Tunnel Safety Orders California FACE Program - Fall Prevention Tailgate Training Materials (www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/ DEODC/OHB/FACE/Pages/Tailgate.aspx) Electronic Library of Construction Occupational Safety and Health (eLCOSH) (www.elcosh.org/index.php) Cal/OSHA Publications (www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/puborder.asp) CAL/OSHA Pocket Guide for the Construction Industry • Tailgate Safety Meeting Topics Cal/OSHA Consultation Branch (www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/consultation.html) [redacted email] • Toll-free Number: 1-[redacted phone]

# What types of PPE may be necessary? Your hazard assessment should determine if your employees need any of the following types of PPE: - Eye and face protection ◆ Fall protection - Foot protection • Hand/general skin protection - Head protection • Hearing protection • Leg protection ● Personal floatation device • Respiratory protection • Torso/general body protection ## How to do a PPE hazard assessment ## Do a baseline survey to identify workplace hazards A baseline survey is a thorough evaluation of your entire workplace - including work processes, tasks, and equipment - that identifies safety and health hazards. A complete survey will tell you what the hazards are, where they are, and how severe a potential injury could be. ## Suggestions: Use safety data sheets (SDS) to identify chemical hazards. A safety data sheet has detailed information about a hazardous chemical's health effects, its physical and chemical characteristics, and safe handling practices. Review equipment owner and operator manuals to determine the manufacturer's safety warnings and recommended PPE. Conduct a job-hazard analysis (JHA) - a method of identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards associated with specific jobs. A JHA breaks down a job into tasks. You evaluate each task to determine if there is a safer way to do it. A job-hazard analysis works well for jobs with difficult-to-control hazards and jobs with histories of accidents or near misses. JHAS for complex jobs can take a considerable amount of time and expertise to develop. You may want to have a safety professional help you. Have an experienced safety professional survey your workplace with you. 4

STATE OF CALIFORNIA CAL OSHA DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health Publications Unit # SETTING UP A TAILGATE/TOOLBOX SAFETY MEETING January 2020 Job site tailgate and toolbox safety meetings are brief meetings, proven to prevent accidents, illnesses, and on-the- job injuries by improving the safety culture at your job site. Refer to the referenced Title 8, California Code of Regulations (T8CCR) sections for details on the requirements for these safety meetings. ## Why Have Tailgate/Toolbox Safety Meetings? They are required for the construction (T8CCR Section 1509) and tunneling (T8CCR Section 8406) industries. In addition, all California employers must have an Injury and Illness Prevention Program that includes employee training in safe work practices (T8CCR Section 3203). Tailgate/Toolbox meetings can help reinforce that training. ## What to Talk About? Work practices, machinery, tools, equipment, materials, attitudes, and anything else that may cause or contribute to a work-related accident or illness. Keep the topic relevant to the job or tasks that workers perform. Address existing job site problems by drawing on workers' real-life experiences. Review and discuss: • OSHA Log 300 records. • Findings from safety inspections and accident and near miss investigations, including corrective actions taken. Supervisors or foremen should remind all employees - especially newer ones - of the dangers of working with particular kinds of machinery, tools, equipment, and materials. You should also carefully observe your workplace and employees' work activities for potential safety hazards. For example, if you notice that spills are not being cleaned up promptly, discuss housekeeping policies. If an accident or near-accident occurred at your job site, share the details and corrective actions. Try to answer the following questions at the meeting: • What happened? • Where did …

Tailgate/Toolbox Topic STATE OF CALIFORNIA CAL OSHA DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Occupational Safety and Health Publications Unit # Lockout/Tag-out / Block-out Revised July 2019 Failure to lockout, tag-out, and block-out (LOTO) machinery before working on it is a major cause of serious injuries and deaths. Workers can be electrocuted, suffer severe crushing injuries, and lose fingers, hands, and arms because machinery is inadvertently turned on while it is being cleaned, repaired, serviced, set-up, adjusted, or unjammed. How to use this tailgate/toolbox topic: Red italics indicate where you must customize this tailgate meeting to cover the particular types of equipment and conditions that your employees will encounter. ## Hazardous Energy Control Procedures - Employers must develop hazardous energy control procedures for employees who clean, repair, service, set up, unjam, or adjust machinery or equipment. Separate step-by-step procedures are required for each type of equipment. • Only trained, authorized employees are allowed to conduct these procedures. Discuss where employees can access the detailed procedures. ## Cleaning, Servicing, and Adjusting Operations - Unless the equipment must be capable of movement to be cleaned, serviced, or adjusted, the power source must be de- energized or disengaged and the movable parts of the machine locked or blocked to prevent movement or release of stored energy. Discuss how this will be done for each piece of equipment and the actual power sources (e.g., electrical, mechanical, hydraulic) employees will encounter. ○ Electrical power must be de-energized at the circuit breaker, not just at the shut-off or emergency stop. - For equipment that must be capable of movement to be cleaned, serviced, or adjusted, describe how training and extension tools other methods will be used to minimize the hazards. • Discuss how accident - prevention signs …
