In most industries it is as simple as turning off the power and installing a lock to prevent the power from being turned back on. In the solid waste industry the purpose is the same, protecting employees, but the energy sources we need to control aren't usually controlled by just a circuit breaker. This program takes a detailed look about how to properly lock and block trash hauling vehicles during maintenance and clean out operations.
The trucks and equipment your company operates are great pieces of equipment. They're versatile. They're powerful. And, they have to be inspected. A proper inspection protects workers and those working around them by ensuring that the equipment they are using is mechanically safe. And that's what this video is all about how???to perform a thorough, consistent and accurate pre-shift inspection.

Identifying and eliminating hazards are part of each drivers responsibilities. The purpose of this program is to help drivers analyze hazards and report them immediately to ensure their safety, the safety of their equipment and the safety of others working the same route in the future.

A postdoc was badly scalded by water while removing items from the top autoclave of a tower-style autoclave. To autoclave her own materials, the doctor began to remove a load that belonged to another laboratory while standing on a low step-stool. The load in the autoclave consisted of a Nalgene tub that contained liter bottles of media with water around them. The water in the tub was near boiling temperature, and as the doctor attempted to remove it, the contents spilled down her torso and thighs.
A laboratory was seriously damaged when the rotor of an ultracentrifuge failed while in use. Flying metal fragments damaged walls, the ceiling and other equipment. The shock wave blew out the laboratory's windows and shook down shelves.
Few experiences may be as frightening as when a crane becomes unbalanced while a load is being lifted or when the crane collapses under the weight of an excessive load. An unbalanced load or crane collapse can cause death to the operator, other construction workers, can cause damage to property or equipment.
Rotating parts, moving belts, points of operation, and other similar machine hazards must be guarded to protect workers from injury, amputation, and death.
Remind workers of ways to prevent these types of injuries and deaths: Service equipment following manufacturer’s instructions. Only use equipment when manufacturer’s guards or an adequate replacement guard is in place and operational. Inspect all safety guards before operating equipment. Never remove machine guards while equipment is energized or can potentially become energized. Never alter machine guards without manufacturer’s approval. De-energize and lock-out equipment’s energy before removing guard to service equipment and always replace guards after servicing equipment. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry and keep hair tight.
Struck-by incidents contributed to almost 1,000 construction worker fatalities in the last 5 years according to a new report from the Center for Construction Research and Training.
