This is called a freezing current, or "can't let go range." OSHA uses the Focus Four concept as a means of outreach to workers and employers to educate them on the extent of the dangers these hazards pose.

There have been many cases in lock out/tag out, where the employee locked out, but something might have been mislabeled, or a piece of equipment malfunctions, and let's say a conveyor belt or something like that - all the sudden the piece of equipment starts up, because the lock out/tag out wasn't verified, and easily could lead to a fatality or very serious injury, said Keenan. Keenan said to only use ANSI-approved ladders, and never use metal ladders where there is potential for contact with electricity. overturned. between parts of an object. Construction workers may have exposure to _____ hazards if they operate unguarded saws. Workers may be buried and crushed by walls that collapse during demolition. 0000144747 00000 n Workers who are working underneath large scaffolds may also be buried if the scaffolds collapse. When power tools are not properly guarded, workers can get their clothing, gloves, or parts of their body caught in the rotating parts of the tools. You can be pinned between equipment and a solid object, such as a wall or another piece of equipment; between materials being stacked or stored and a solid object, such as a wall or another piece of equipment; or between shoring and construction materials in a trench. The most prevalent cause of death in the construction industry is death due to falls, which may account for more than 30% of construction industry deaths within a given year (e.g. The worker crawled under the operating truck. 0000016286 00000 n You can be pinned between equipment and a solid object, such as a wall or another piece of equipment; between materials being stacked or stored and a solid object, such as a wall or 7*}]Q>zZm7C5W2*j0bbw=&K0Y7818 "mk28M0d 3~@ endstream endobj 69 0 obj <> endobj 70 0 obj <> endobj 71 0 obj <>/ColorSpace<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB]/ExtGState<>>> endobj 72 0 obj <> endobj 73 0 obj <> endobj 74 0 obj <> endobj 75 0 obj <>stream Contractor was operating a backhoe when an employee attempted to walk between the swinging superstructure of the backhoe and a concrete wall. machinery which has unguarded moving parts or is not locked out during maintenance; heavy equipment that tips over, collapsing walls during demolition; and.
