Mobile Machinery
- Only trained, authorized, and certified employees may operate mobile equipment.
- All qualified employees will operate mobile equipment to comply with Manufacturer’s Safety Requirements as well as plant rules.
- Horseplay is strictly prohibited.
Hazards
- In our industry, we operate and work around a variety of mobile equipment each and every day.
- This is done safely by making sure that operators perform the required pre-use inspections, operate safely, and pedestrians respect the mobile equipment.
- There is far too much potential for injury if we do not follow procedures.
Pedestrian Safety
- You should understand that you must give yourself time to…
- Look
- Listen
- Evaluate
- Make a decision
- Communicate
- Perform Safely
- How long does it take to do this?

GHS
- We all have the “Right to Know” about hazards of chemicals found within our workplace. These hazards are communicated through the Hazard Communication Program. This includes a chemical inventory, accurate SDSs, container labels and training.
- The intent of this standard is to provide you with information to help you make knowledgeable decisions about chemical hazards in the workplace.
Standard Requirements
Standard Requirements
- Written program for each location to cover issue of chemical safety and hazard communication.
- Labels to identify each chemical.
- SDSs to provide detailed information on each chemical.
- Safe work procedures/practices.
- Employees training on SDS information and on those safe chemical procedures and practices.

Routes of Occupational Exposure
Routes of Occupational Exposure
- Inhalation
- Nearly all materials that are airborne can be inhaled.
- Skin absorption
- Skin contact with a substance can result in possible reaction.
- Ingestion
- Most workers do not deliberately swallow materials they handle.
- Injection
- Normally associated with bloodborne pathogens.
Container Labeling
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
- Developed by chemical manufacturers & importers.
- An SDS must be on hand for every hazardous chemical used.
- SDSs include more detailed information than labels.
- Do you know where they are kept?
Controlling Exposures to Chemicals
REMEMBER…it is your responsibility to know and understand the chemicals you work with and what safety precautions must be taken to protect yourself from harmful exposures.

Importance of Drinking Fluids
Drink plenty of fluids.
If you are thirsty…it is too late!
- No caffeine
- No alcohol
- No large amounts of sugar
- Avoid very cold drinks
Simple Hydration Check
Understand Workload
- Workload determines the amount of heat generated by the body
- Light and moderate work = less heat
- Heavy work = more heat
Understand Workload
Clothing
- The more clothes worn, the longer it takes evaporation to cool the skin.
- Lightweight, light-colored clothing reflects heat and sunlight and helps body maintain normal temperatures.
- Wear loose-fitting clothes such as cotton.
- Wide brimmed hats block sun from head, neck, and shoulders.
