    BACK INJURY

    SAFETY AWARENESS No. 2

    Back injuries often occur when


    • An individual is lifting up an object
    • Using improper lifting techniques such as lifting
    with the back and not the legs
    • Lifting an object that is too heavy for the
    individual
    • Twisting while lifting or carrying objects
    • Repetitive lifting during a work task

    Back injury prevention:


    • Ensure you are lifting properly
    • Pay attention to your posture
    • Modify repetitive tasks for your safety
    • Stretch regularly
    USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
    SAFETY AWARENESS No. 3
    The P.A.S.S. Method of Using a Fire Extinguisher
    If you need to use a fire extinguisher, remember the P.A.S.S method for how
    to use it safely and effectively. Each letter represents one of the four steps to
    use the fire extinguisher:
    When you go through the PASS
    steps, hopefully this puts the fire
    out. But it needs to be pointed out
    that fire extinguishers have
    limitations. If the fire is larger than
    a trash can, don’t attempt to put it
    out with a small, standard fire
    extinguisher. Pull the fire alarm
    and evacuate the worksite.
    GASOLINE EXPOSURE
    SAFETY AWARENESS No. 4

    Gasoline is a toxic and extremely flammable liquid. It comprises compounds


    called hydrocarbons, which include alkanes, benzene, toluene, and xylenes.
    When even small quantities of hydrocarbons enter the bloodstream, it can
    reduce the functioning of the central nervous system and cause organ damage.
    Gasoline is not just toxic when people ingest it. A person can also sustain
    damage to the skin, eyes, and lungs when they come into contact with gasoline
    liquid or the fumes or vapors of gasoline.
    • Wearing gloves and protective clothing and respirator masks
    when handling gasoline
    • Washing the skin thoroughly as soon as any gasoline comes
    into contact with it
    • Not purposefully sniffing or huffing gasoline
    • practicing gasoline safety habits when handling or storing other
    products that contain hydrocarbons
    CLASSES OF FIRE
    SAFETY AWARENESS No. 4
    Fires are classified according to the types of fuel they burn. The four
    types are:
    •Class A Fire. Involves ordinary
    combustible materials such as wood,
    paper, cloth, rubber, plastic, etc.
    •Class B Fire. Involves flammable liquids
    such as gasoline, solvents, oil, paint,
    varnish and lacquer thinners, etc.
    •Class C Fire. Involves energized live
    electrical equipment, such as computers,
    electric stoves, electric flat irons, etc.
    •Class D Fire. This kind of fire involves
    combustible metals such as magnesium,
    potassium and other similar materials

    UNSAFE ACTS
    SAFETY AWARENESS No. 7
    Unsafe acts are responsible for the majority of
    workplace incidents that result in injuries or
    property loss
    Reasons for Unsafe Acts:
    • Taking shortcuts
    • Being complacent
    • Overconfidence
    • Ignoring rules or procedures
    • Poor attitude
    There is a magnitude of reasons behind why unsafe acts occur. Despite what the
    reason may be for the unsafe act, one thing is for sure- injuries will occur over time if
    they continue to take place. Unsafe acts are the root of the majority of injuries on the
    job and when paired with unsafe conditions it is likely someone will be injured. All too
    often it is the person who is responsible for the unsafe act that is injured. Even worse
    is when a bystander is injured due to the unsafe actions of another person.
