2 LIFESAVERS for managers KB 12-2e LIFESAVER 1: Know the facts avoid danger to life! It is my responsibility to make my employees particularly aware of accident hazards posing a high risk potential. I ensure that company specifications are followed and work is accomplished safely. 9 percent of all fatal work accidents were caused through only five accident types (see figure). In twelve years, these five accident types alone have cost 27 human lives. Explosion/ flash fire Falling/ tipping/ flying objects Fatal work accidents in the BG RCI from 4 to 1 14 % % Other % Fall 1 % % Machines/ plants Vehicle/ transport means 31 % LIFESAVER 2: Risks: Identify. Manage. Preserve life! I am responsible that hazards are systematically determined for all activities, the necessary protective measures are specified and that the risks are managed. 1/3 With every third fatal work accident there was either no or only an insufficient risk assessment. 2/3 LIFESAVER 3: Act as a role model! Look! Act! I am aware of my function as a role model. My actions are consistent and predictable and I immediately intervene with unsafe methods. 33 % Carelessness was involved with two out of three fatal work accidents. The hazard was so apparent that the managers and the person suffering the accident should have known it. 66 % LIFESAVER 4: Routine. Experience. Can be fatal! I especially observe the work behavior of the experienced employees. I encourage all employees to always give safety the highest priority and in case of doubt to say STOP. Fatal work accidents in the BG RCI from 4 to 1 (according to age) 7 Old hands carry the greatest risk of suffering a fatal accident. More than every third person suffering an accident belongs to the age-set of the 4 to 4 year-olds with particularly long experience bis ab 6 Age 2

3 LIFESAVER : Safe work: Specify! Instruct! Check! For all activities, I specify how work has to be performed safely. I ensure that the instructions are given comprehensively and understandably. I personally make sure that my employees have understood and follow the specifications. In one out of three fatal work accidents, the safe mode of work was either not or only insufficiently specified, or the instruction was deficient. Therefore, those suffering the accident did not have the necessary understanding for working safely. LIFESAVER 6: Safety devices. PPE. Essential for life! I ensure that the necessary company safety devices and the personal protective equipment (PPE) are available and always used. I am a good role model and immediately address incorrect behavior. Although the necessary safety devices or the personal protective equipment (e.g. safety belt in vehicle, fall protection, locking device) were in place and functional, they were not used with every fifth fatal work accident. Vehicles. Earthmoving machines. Forklift trucks. Danger to life! It is my responsibility to minimize the risks with the use of our vehicles through suitable measures. This includes a traffic concept, secure traffic routes, deficiency-free vehicles and a considerate behavior of all traffic participants. In one out of three fatal work accidents, vehicles (e.g. wheel loaders, trucks, dump trucks, forklift trucks, cars) were involved. Hereby individuals, including nearly pedestrians were killed. Malfunctions. Cleaning. Maintenance. Greatest danger! I am responsible for the planning and monitoring of safe working procedures with fault clearance, repair and cleaning work on machines and plants. I make sure that the specifications are observed. In this area, 6 people were killed due to lacking or ignored working instructions. 3

4 KB 12-2e LIFESAVERS for managers LIFESAVER 9: Functioning safety devices? Save lives! I ensure that the effectiveness of all safety devices is regularly verified and that deficiencies are resolved. In addition, I make sure that the safety devices are used as intended. individuals were killed during work on machines and plants because the safety devices (e.g. safety light barriers, safety switches, locking devices) had been dismounted or had been manipulated. The managers had either not noticed this or had even tolerated it. LIFESAVER : Falls kill! Prevent it from happening! I make sure that working at heights is performed safely through technical measures and that the necessary personal protective equipment is consistently used. As far as possible, we avoid performing works on ladders. 47 individuals were killed through falling from high working levels. The lowest fall height was less than one meter. Working on ladders and flat roofs (breaking through) can have a fatal outcome. LIFESAVER 11: Falling. Tipping. Collapsing. Danger to life! I instruct my employees to stay out of areas wherever possible where a hazard through tipping parts or falling objects cannot be completely excluded. I ensure that the storage and transport is performed in ways that nothing can fall or tip over. 4 individuals were struck dead by tipping parts or falling objects. Often the steadfastness was not given or loads were not secured against falling. LIFESAVER 12: Explosion hazards! Take measures! I carefully assess whether there are explosion or fire hazards in my area of responsibility and take the necessary measures. I make sure that the employees only perform works in hazardous areas after approval and exclusively with suitable tools. 32 individuals were killed through explosions and their consequences. 4
