In construction sites, falls from openings can be a significant hazard due to the presence of unprotected floor openings, uncovered holes or trenches, incomplete or missing guardrails. Remember, construction sites require extra vigilance to prevent falls from openings. By identifying potential hazards and implementing robust safety measures, we can reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safer working environment. #safetyfirst

This week for #SafetyFriday, we're looking at a common fall hazard both on the construction site and at home: falls from ladders. Whether at home or the job site, there are correct and safe ways to use ladders. Here are some basic ladder safety tips: 🪜Always inspect the ladder before use to ensure it is in good condition, with no cracks or loose parts, or broken rungs or rails 🪜When using an extension ladder, inspect the pulleys, ropes, and locks for excessive wear or fatigue 🪜Make sure that all footings and pads still provide a non-slip surface 🪜Check that all factory stickers are clear and legible; these include inspection and OSHA requirement stickers. Unmarked ladders should be removed from service 🪜Make sure that you're using the correct type of ladder for the job 🪜When setting up a ladder, make sure that it is on level, sturdy ground and fully opened with all locks engaged 🪜Use the 4-to-1 rule, which means for every 4 feet of height, the ladder should be 1 foot away from the wall or other support 🪜Do not use other objects to raise the height of the ladder. If the ladder is not tall enough, get a taller one 🪜Always face the ladder when ascending or descending and use both hands to grasp it securely 🪜If you need tools, carry them on a toolbelt or pull them up with a hoist after you have reached your destination 🪜Don't over-reach. Keep your body between the ladder's side rails to reduce the risk of the ladder tipping over and/or falling off 🪜Never stand on the top two rungs of a ladder #LadderSafety #WorkplaceSafety #HomeSafety #FallPrevention #SafetyFirst #KennedyBroadband #FullCirlceFamily

Heads Up! Staying Safe When Working at Heights in Industrial Construction ️ Working high up poses a serious risk. Falls from scaffolding, roofs, ladders, and platforms are all too common. But don't worry, we've got your back (literally!) with these safety tips: Harness Up: Whenever you're 6 feet or higher, wear a full-body harness with a lanyard and shock absorber connected to a secure anchor point. Guard & Net: Install guardrails and safety nets around elevated areas to prevent falls and catch them if they happen. Ladder Up Right: Choose the right ladder for the job and ensure it's secure before climbing. Scaffolding Safety: Regularly inspect and ensure it's properly assembled and secure. By prioritizing these safety measures, we can prevent accidents and keep everyone safe on the job. Let's all work together to make industrial construction safer for everyone! https://lnkd.in/gFHX7Uzh #safety #IndustrialConstruction #geraldconsulting

Building Tip: Always use proper safety gear such as hard hats, safety goggles, and gloves when working on a construction site. Protect yourself and others from potential hazards. #BuildingSafety Building Tip: Save time and money by carefully planning out your construction project. This includes creating a detailed timeline, budget and a list of necessary materials. #ConstructionPlanning Building Tip: Don't forget to regularly inspect and maintain your construction equipment to ensure safe and efficient operation. This will also help prevent costly breakdowns. #EquipmentMaintenance Building Tip: When pouring concrete, make sure to properly level and smooth it with a float to ensure a sturdy and even surface. This will also help prevent cracks and water damage. #ConcreteTips Building Tip: Properly secure your ladders and scaffolding to avoid accidents. Always have someone hold the base of the ladder and use safety harnesses when working at heights. #SafeConstruction Building Tip: When working with power tools, always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid accidents. Wear ear and eye protection and use tools with a grounded power source. #PowerToolSafety Building Tip: Keep your construction site clean and organized to prevent tripping hazards and make navigation easier for workers. Dispose of debris properly and store tools in designated areas. #ConstructionSiteSafety Building Tip: Don't cut corners when it comes to structural integrity. Make sure to follow building codes and use proper techniques for a safe and long-lasting structure. #StructuralIntegrity Building Tip: Communicate openly and effectively with your construction team to ensure that everyone is on the same page. This will help prevent mistakes and delays. #EffectiveCommunication Building Tip: Prioritize safety and quality over speed. Rushing a construction project can lead to mistakes and accidents, which can ultimately cost more time and money. #ConstructionBestPractices

To prevent falls from ladders, make sure your teams have the following controls in place: • Use only ladders that are in good condition and designed to handle the climbing job that needs to be done. • Train employees on proper ladder use. • Make proper ladder use a performance requirement for the job. • Require employees to complete a ladder inspection before each use. • Make sure step ladders are fully open and locked before climbing them. • Place the ladder on a flat, secure surface. • Lean the ladder against a secure surface, not boxes or barrels. • Do not place a ladder in front of a door. • Position the base of the ladder one foot away for every four feet of height from where it rests (1:4 ratio). • Ladder rails should extend at least three feet above the top landing. • Check your shoes to ensure they are free of grease or mud. • Mount the ladder from the center, not from the side. • Face the ladder when ascending or descending, and hold on with both hands. • Carry any tools in your pockets, in a belt-attached bag, or by raising and lowering a rope. • Don’t climb higher than the third rung from the top. • Work facing the ladder. • Do not overreach. Always keep your torso between the ladder rails. • When using a ladder in high places, securely lash or fasten the ladder to prevent slipping. • Avoid outdoor ladder use on windy days. • Avoid aluminum ladders if work must be done around electrical wires or power lines. Ladders may look simple, but they can also become incredibly dangerous when not used properly. Use them carefully. Safety always comes first.

🏗️ Construction Site Safety: Preventing Struck-By Incidents 🏗️ Construction sites are bustling environments filled with potential hazards, and one of the most significant risks is struck-by incidents. In 2023 alone, over 18,000 construction workers were injured, and 168 lost their lives due to these preventable accidents, according to OSHA. 🚧 Common Hazards: Heavy equipment and vehicles Falling or flying objects Masonry or concrete walls under construction To help prevent these injuries, OSHA provides several essential safety tips: 🚙 Vehicle Operation: Always wear a seat belt when operating equipment. Drive slowly and adhere to safe operating procedures. If backing up, ensure you have a clear view and a reverse alarm in place. 🔍 Equipment Inspection: Inspect all vehicles and equipment before starting work. Ensure brakes are in good condition and chock wheels when parked on inclines. 🦺 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear proper PPE, including high-visibility vests. 🛑 Falling Objects: Employ protective measures like toeboards and debris nets. Secure all items when working at height and never work beneath suspended loads. 🛠️ Tools and Materials: Use tools with secure handles and ensure you’re trained on safe operation. Wear hard hats and appropriate eye and face protection. 🏢 Constructing Walls Safely: Only place loads on concrete structures deemed safe by a qualified person. Shore or brace structures until permanent support elements are in place. Limit the work zone to those actively engaged in construction. At High Mountain Safety, we understand the importance of creating a safe working environment. We can help audit your procedures, provide recommendations, and assist you in developing comprehensive policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to keep your team safe on the job.
