Determine causes: Ask who (training, experience, condition, etc.), where (scene details), when (day, hour, shift, etc.), what (specific tasks before and during accident including tools/equipment and result), how (combine facts to recreate event), why (controllable causes; usually several)? Determine and implement correction: Counsel, enforce, train, change procedure, change equipment, etc. HAZARD CORRECTION: When unsafe or unhealthy work conditions, practice or procedures are observed or discovered they shall be corrected in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazards. When an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately abated without endangering employees, we shall remove all exposed workers from the area except those necessary to correct the existing condition. Workers necessary to correct the hazardous conditions shall be provided with the necessary protection. TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION: All workers are trained and instructed in general and jobspecific safety and health practices as follows: When the IIPP is first established. To all new workers. To workers given new job assignments for which they were not previously trained. Whenever new substances, processes, procedures or equipment are introduced and represent a new hazard. Whenever we are made aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard. For supervisors to familiarize them with the safety and health hazards to which workers under their immediate direction and control may be exposed. 3
EMERGENCY ACTION: To prepare for emergencies (such as serious injury or illness, fire, earthquakes, power failure, etc.) in the workplace we have adopted the following procedures: Duties: All employees are responsible for warning anyone in danger and reporting emergency situations to a manger or supervisor immediately. All employees shall follow the specific emergency instruction of managers and supervisors. The managers or supervisors shall instruct employees in specific emergency situations, contact emergency agencies and sound the evacuation alarm as required. Supervisors shall make certain all employees have evacuated the building before leaving and shall take roll at the meeting place to ensure complete evacuation. No employee shall re-enter the building until it is deemed safe by the facility manager and instructed by the supervisor. Employees may utilize fire extinguishers only for fires in the initial stages after ensuring all other personnel are safe. Escape procedures: If Building evacuation is required a loud verbal alarm or continuous horn will sound. Employees shall walk through the nearest exit and proceed to the designated gathering place for roll call. In the event of earthquake employees shall not evacuate unless there is danger of building collapse: They shall cover their heads, move away from overhead objects which may fall, and seek cover under solid objects (such as desks or tables), doorways or against interior walls. If outside during an emergency situation such as an earthquake, stay away from buildings, trees, gas lines, and power lines. Employee training: All employees shall be trained in the content and operation of these procedures, particularly their individual duties. Training shall include location and use of first aid supplies and fire extinguishers. Supervisors shall be trained in responses to specific emergencies to enable appropriate instructions to employees. This training shall be documented and occur when procedures are initially implemented, employees are newly hired, and when procedures change. These procedures shall be maintained in the workplace and available for employee review. FIRE PREVENTION: To help prevent accidental fires in this facility we have adopted these procedures: Hazard identification: The primary combustible materials and ignition sources in this facility are listed in the appendix. Procedures for handling accidental fires are addressed in Emergency Action procedures. Housekeeping: An orderly and clean working environment free of unnecessary hazards including the accumulation of combustible and flammable materials shall be maintained.
