Your initiative is very good, but I'm sorry to say that Google Documents are not accessible in our office as they fall under the banned category. However, I will download the same from outside. I kindly request you to post those videos directly into the forum as we did earlier. If the file is larger than 10mb, please split it and upload. Anyone can easily join the clips together using another software. Please assess the feasibility and proceed accordingly.

Hi Dipil,
Do you remember when we used to get frustrated/annoyed because no one was adding any comments, replies, or posts on the topics? I think people used to wonder, "Why should I share my assets with others?" But I believe that with the addition of more and more participants, this mindset has changed.
What I feel now is that we are all enthusiastic about contributing more and more to the site so that everyone benefits, and they too feel inclined to share their knowledge with all of us. I also feel happy and request all of you to continue with this spirit of sharing.
All the best. Let's promise this new year that we will share and do whatever we feel will benefit all of us in implementing a safety culture and protecting people from accidents, hazards, etc. Because we all share a common platform of Safety professionals, and all problems and challenges are more or less the same.
So let's join hands and solve each other's problems.

Nowadays, there has been a significant increase, especially in the morning and evening, with more than 21000 members online. I hope that at least 15% (3150) of our EHS guys participate and benefit daily, but only a few members actively participate in our forum (we can count them on our fingers). Please come forward as beneficiaries and contributors, at least by writing your comments or sharing your thoughts, as it helps engage our members actively.

How do we measure the wealth of knowledge? Is it by the quantity or the quality?
Everyone who uses this thread and link is rewarded - some by sharing, others by reading and sharing with their fellow workers, and others by the key element of what this program is designed around: NOT GETTING INJURED on the job or causing an incident.
Also, no two people learn or absorb information the same way. For some, it is a simple video, and that is their key; for others, it is a PowerPoint presentation and a class presentation on a defined subject.
And for some like me, it is seeing the diverse training field of safety around the world. Although all my materials are written and produced by me, I get huge results and deep satisfaction just knowing that my materials, written in Canada, are helping someone somewhere else in the world. They get to go home safely to their families and sleep in a comfortable home with people who want them, again and tomorrow, and always.
Safety is not a pay stub or an optional subject; it's about people protecting people - friends, neighbors, family.

PS: Here is one I did as a reminder on lifting and hoisting materials:
Always lift right and always remember to look up where the power lines are.

One of our members needed a little humor in their program, although I don't usually laugh at people's incidents, there is sometimes a need for humor to lighten the load of others or drive a message home. I hope these help out (a word of caution: there is a fine line between humor and hurting someone's feelings).
But beyond the general "feel-good", morale-boosting humor factor, I believe there are several ways humor in the workplace can create a safer work environment:
Humor is an effective stress buster.
Stress is totally in the eye of the beholder – it's the events themselves that create stress; it is our interpretation of events that causes us stress. And since humor is an effective way of changing how we look at things, tapping into our sense of humor can reframe day-to-day challenges and help us see problems in a more grounded, realistic light. Humor, in other words, helps us keep molehills as molehills long before they threaten to erupt into mountains.
We also need to remind ourselves that when a stressful situation happens, we have 100% control over how we react to that situation. Humor helps us gain a sense of control over our emotions by allowing us to choose a more positive reaction.
So what does all this have to do with safety? A lot, I'd suggest.
Stressed-out people don't think clearly, tend to make more mistakes, and often do things in a hurry - all of which can lead to more accidents in the workplace.
Simply put: stress can blind us to hazards around us; whereas humor can enlighten us by helping us keep cool, calm, and collected.

We have a whole lot of followers and people who read our small ramblings on safety. There is only one part of the recipe we have left out of our daily conversations (although variety is always nice, it's like fresh fruit and vegetables in season). We should ask our readers what ten things are the key incident causes in their workplace. What ten things have they seen like ladders, slips, trips and falls, scaffolds, or just humor versus lecture materials to get our point across.
We too, must do a risk assessment in our educational materials so we can better serve those who read from these pages. Hence, once that is done, we can offer the best of the best worldwide. No reader will have the same, and we always try to answer the questions with the best materials known so it doesn't have to be taught over and over again.
I'm sure once people say what they need, our list of educational materials will be the next and only training page for their companies to look at or for training. The ten worst or injury-related training items, ten things that cost the company the most amount of money in downtime or incidents, like driver awareness or risk assessment, proper PPE, or risk associated with wearing or not inspecting them properly, or not getting proper PPE, paperwork or forms, or formats to use and make it easier to report and assess incidents, emergency response or planning, chemical hazards, fires, or damage including storage or environmental issues like dykes, chemical properties and mixtures, or long-lasting health issues to workers, even simple items like patella femoral pain syndrome (pizza knee) for cement workers and the risks.
These are only examples; there are thousands, but once you weed them down, sort them out, they will be a small list to solve and educate others. I'm willing to bet that out of a thousand items in safety that could be asked or reviewed, you could tap root or drill down your training and solve a thousand issues with less than 15 items associated with training.
Any thoughts, gentlemen!

Shortcuts will not help you beat life; they will only endanger it.
Everyone takes a shortcut at one time or another. You may cross the street between intersections instead of using the crosswalk or jump a fence instead of using the gate. But in many cases, a shortcut can be dangerous.
If you are instructed to go to a specific work area, your employer expects you to take the safe route, not the shorter, hazardous one. If there is no safe way to reach your destination, inform your supervisor. Your supervisor will ensure that you are provided with a safe means of access. It is your responsibility to avoid dangerous shortcuts and to report anyone else you see taking them.
Even if a task will only take a few minutes, it is not worth risking your safety and health for those few moments. Wear personal protective equipment to safeguard your body. Use proper, well-maintained equipment. Do not improvise to save time. Ladders, steps, and walkways are designed to ensure your safety, as well as for your convenience. Utilize them. Do not climb columns or slide down ropes to move between elevations. The safest route may not always be the shortest one, but it is the most reliable.
Ask yourself, "Where is the lift plan?"
Lift devices are just as crucial as what you are lifting.
Moreover, where did the dog go? Never mind why the area was not secured.
Horseplay has no place in safety protocols, not to mention the lack of personal protective equipment, spotters, or simply leaving the site.
Do it right the first time, every time.
Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs for better readability.

Further to the PDF I sent on Isolation and Lockout Tagout, here is a reminder to all teams: it is not just about electricity.
Isolation lockout can involve moving equipment, etc. The key is to always have in mind where the energy is and whether it is shut down. Even the key that turns on the motor vehicle needs to be locked out and tagged out.
Key Energy Control Terminology:
A review of some key definitions from the OHS standard can be helpful in understanding the elements of an effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) program:
- An authorized employee locks or tags machines or equipment to perform servicing or maintenance.
- An affected employee is required to use machines or equipment on which servicing is performed under the Lockout/Tagout standard or whose job requires them to work in the area where such servicing and maintenance is performed.
- An energy-isolating device prevents the transmission or release of energy, such as a manually operated electrical circuit breaker, a disconnect switch, a line valve, or any device used to block or isolate energy. An energy-isolating device is considered capable of being locked out if it is designed with a hasp or other means of attachment to which a lock can be affixed; has a locking mechanism built into it; or can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy-isolating device or permanently altering its energy control capability.
Lockout is the placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating device, following an established procedure, ensuring that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is removed.
A lockout device uses positive means, such as a lock, blank flanges, and bolted slip blinds, to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position, thereby preventing the energizing of machinery or equipment.
Tagout is the placement of a tagout device on an energy-isolating device, following an established procedure, to indicate that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.
A tagout device is any prominent warning device, such as a tag and a means of attachment, which can be securely fastened to an energy-isolating device to indicate that the machine or equipment to which it is attached may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.
Simple LOTO indicates a single source of energy. Complex LOTO signifies that there are multiple sources of energy. Group LOTO means that multiple crews are involved in the lockout/tagout procedures.
Core Components of Machine Safety and Lockout/Tagout Programs:
The basic components of machine safety and lockout/tagout are documented procedures, employee training and retraining, and periodic review. A formal, written Lockout/Tagout Program should be developed and implemented if employees are required to perform hazardous maintenance or repair of machines and equipment. The program should include machine-specific procedures for shutdown and re-energizing equipment and training for affected employees. Procedures will vary depending on the industry and types of machinery and equipment, but all employees should be trained to recognize a locked and tagged electrical source and to understand how the LOTO process affects their specific work areas and the company’s overall operations. Periodic review of all procedures is essential to ensure compliance and to allow for necessary changes.
An effective Lockout/Tagout Program should include these basic steps for safely de-energizing equipment:
1. Notify all affected employees that the equipment will be shut down.
2. Shut down the equipment by normal stopping procedures.
3. Isolate all the equipment's energy sources.
4. Lockout and tagout the energy isolating devices with assigned, individual locks.
5. Verify absence of energy source.
6. Release or restrain any stored energy by grounding, blocking, bleeding down, etc.
7. Assure that no personnel are exposed, and then test the equipment to assure that it will not operate.
To restore the equipment to service:
1. Assure that all employees have been safely positioned or removed from the area.
2. Verify that equipment controls are in neutral.
3. Remove lockout devices and/or tags and re-energize the machine or equipment.
4. Notify affected employees that servicing is complete and the equipment is ready for use.
Important Steps for Implementation of a Lockout/Tagout Program:
The following are some important actions to consider for your company’s Lockout/Tagout Program:
- Initiate immediate awareness and policies for working on de-energized equipment.
- Look closely at company operations and learn what your workers are actually doing.
- Document all sources of electricity by studying the original building plan and "as-built" drawings, if available. If plans and drawings are not available, walk through the entire facility to trace energy sources, track conduit, and identify potential exposure to live parts.
- Use interim hazard warning labels on electrical equipment.
- Work on improving and enhancing safe work practices, procedures, and training, incorporating knowledge gained from field inspections and NFPA 70E recommendations.
- Review existing LOTO procedures to ensure they include all control panels.
- Review previous employee LOTO training, keep logs, and assess whether any personnel require retraining.
- Train all electrical workers and any related personnel in Arc-flash hazard awareness.
- Perform audits on tools, equipment, and employee training.
- Conduct tool audits to ensure all employees have safe tools for the job and determine if new tools are needed.
- Conduct arc-flash hazard analysis to determine flash protection boundary on switchboards, panel boards, industrial control panels, motor control centers, and other related equipment.
- Assess PPE requirements based on the boundary results from arc-flash hazard analysis. Require appropriate clothing and apparel for electrical workers and provide necessary PPE.

Isolation lockout can involve moving equipment, etc. The key is to always have in mind where the energy is and whether it is shut down. Even the key that turns on the motor vehicle needs to be locked out and tagged out.
Key Energy Control Terminology:
A review of some key definitions from the OHS standard can be helpful in understanding the elements of an effective lockout/tagout (LOTO) program:
- An authorized employee locks or tags machines or equipment to perform servicing or maintenance.
- An affected employee is required to use machines or equipment on which servicing is performed under the Lockout/Tagout standard or whose job requires them to work in the area where such servicing and maintenance is performed.
- An energy-isolating device prevents the transmission or release of energy, such as a manually operated electrical circuit breaker, a disconnect switch, a line valve, or any device used to block or isolate energy. An energy-isolating device is considered capable of being locked out if it is designed with a hasp or other means of attachment to which a lock can be affixed; has a locking mechanism built into it; or can be locked without dismantling, rebuilding, or replacing the energy-isolating device or permanently altering its energy control capability.
Lockout is the placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating device, following an established procedure, ensuring that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is removed.
A lockout device uses positive means, such as a lock, blank flanges, and bolted slip blinds, to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position, thereby preventing the energizing of machinery or equipment.
Tagout is the placement of a tagout device on an energy-isolating device, following an established procedure, to indicate that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.
A tagout device is any prominent warning device, such as a tag and a means of attachment, which can be securely fastened to an energy-isolating device to indicate that the machine or equipment to which it is attached may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

Learning from others when bad things happen, BP Petroleum is no different. Government investigation into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill looks at specific factors such as how deep a cement plug was set and whether additional barriers should have been installed. But the root causes of the incident that killed 11 workers focus on common subjects for workplace safety: management, communication, previous near-misses, safety culture, and government regulation.
The commission appointed by President Obama will present its full report on Jan. 11. But it released one chapter of the report a few days earlier.
The report says the incident on April 20, 2010, was avoidable and that most of the mistakes at the Macondo well can be traced back to "a single overarching failure — a failure of management. Better management by BP, Halliburton, and Transocean would almost certainly have prevented the blowout."
Among the highlights from this chapter of the report:
Three things could have prevented the blowout. "But mistakes and failure to appreciate risk compromised each of those potential barriers."
"BP's management process did not adequately identify or address risks created by late changes to well design and procedures." Changes in plans at Macondo "appear to have been made by the BP Macondo team in an ad hoc fashion without any formal risk analysis or internal expert review."
"BP, Transocean, and Halliburton failed to communicate adequately. Information appears to have been excessively compartmentalized ... BP did not share important information with its contractors, or sometimes internally even with members of its own team."
"Transocean failed to adequately communicate lessons from an earlier near-miss to its crew ... from an eerily similar near-miss on one of its rigs in the North Sea four months prior to the Macondo blowout."
"Decision-making processes at Macondo did not adequately ensure that personnel fully considered the risks created by time- and money-saving decisions."
This chapter also notes that in the full report, BP's corporate safety culture will be addressed. "It is also critical that companies implement and maintain a pervasive top-down safety culture that rewards employees and contractors who take action when there is a safety concern even though such action costs the company time and money."
The government doesn't get a pass in this report:
"Government also failed to provide the oversight necessary to prevent these lapses in judgment and management by private industry."
"The root cause can be better found by considering how efforts to expand regulatory oversight, tighten safety requirements, and provide funding to equip regulators with the resources, personnel, and training needed to be effective were either overtly resisted or not supported by industry, members of Congress, and several administrations."
Government "lacked personnel with the kinds of expertise and training needed to enforce regulations effectively."

Outside workers and exercise don't stretch your body after the key is before. Why, you ask? Think of the risks.
Manual tasks always warm up and do those stretches before your body stretches.
Manual tasks are more than just lifting or carrying an object. They also include:
• lifting
• lowering
• pushing
• pulling
• carrying
• moving, and
• holding or restraining any object, animal, or person.
Manual tasks can include a wide range of activities, such as pulling a lever, restraining an animal, or holding and operating a power tool.
Research has identified five 'direct' risk factors related to manual tasks that can cause or contribute to musculoskeletal disorders. These are:
• forceful exertions
• working postures – awkward and static
• repetition
• duration, and
• vibration.
One of these risk factors must be identified in the task for a risk of injury to exist. However, the more risk factors identified, the greater the risk.
Forceful exertions put high levels of stress on muscles and body tissues. This includes force exerted by the body or force impacting on the body. Examples include lifting a very heavy or awkward load from the ground (e.g. lifting a person or a 40-kilogram cement bag), or force to the lower limbs resulting from jumping out of a vehicle.
Working postures
Awkward postures are postures where joints are at or near the extreme of their movement, (e.g. your head bent to the side so your ear is by your shoulder). Exposure to awkward postures can cause damage to the muscles and other tissues when they occur in combination with forceful exertion, another awkward posture (e.g. back bent and twisted), repetitive action, or if held for a prolonged period.
Static or fixed postures such as prolonged sitting or standing can sometimes be more fatiguing than tasks that require moderate movement. Your body has to work hard to hold the posture (leading to quicker muscle fatigue), putting greater stress on other tissue and giving your body less flexibility to deal with unexpected changes. Awkward postures are often caused by poorly designed work areas, tools, equipment, or work practices.
Repetition and duration involve making the same type of movement over and over (e.g. frequent lifting or working on a production line) or holding a position for a long time. There are even greater risks when repetition is combined with awkward postures, forceful exertions, fast movement, and/or cold conditions.
The work cycle is the time taken to perform the task once without interruption. Tasks involving short cycle times of less than 30 seconds and performed for more than one hour are considered to be a risk because the same muscles and other soft tissues are being used continuously.
Duration is the amount of time a person is exposed to a risk factor (e.g. vibration, awkward postures) without a break. Long periods of activity increase the strain and wear and tear on the body. Duration may be considered a significant risk factor when a task is performed continuously for one hour or longer.
Vibration
Exposure to continuous or high-intensity vibration is a concern as it increases the strain and wear and tear on the body.
There are two sources of vibration exposure according to the contact points between the body and the vibrating equipment:
• Hand/arm vibration can be caused by vibrating hand tools such as grinders, drills, and circular saws, particularly if they are not properly maintained or not appropriate for the task. It can result in fatigue, pain, numbness, tingling, decreased sensation in the fingers, hand, and arm.
• Whole-body vibration commonly results from sitting or standing on work surfaces that vibrate such as trucks, forklifts, tractors, or platforms. It is associated with general discomfort and lower back pain.
Preventing manual task injuries
Workers' compensation statistics show that one-third of all occupational injuries in Australia occur during manual tasks. This injury rate has not been reduced by traditional approaches, which concentrated on correct lifting techniques and saw the weight of an object as the only source of danger. The most successful approach is a systematic one, which aims to 'design out' the whole range of possible causes of injury during manual tasks.
Common causes of manual task injuries include:
• lifting gates
• pulling taut liners curtains
• handling freight (including overuse injuries that develop over time), and
• restraining loads (use of 'dogs' and chains).
Common manual task injuries include:
• strains and sprains
• hernias
• disc herniations, and
• aggravation of degenerative conditions.
Checklist for the prevention of slips, trips, and falls.
If any of these hazards are ticked, action needs to be taken.
Floors
• Can water be walked onto smooth floors (e.g. foyers) on rainy days?
• Are there any hard, smooth floors in wet or oily areas?
• Are there any leaks of fluids onto the floor from processes or machines?
• Is poor drainage causing pooling of fluids?
• Are there any floor surface transitions not easily noticed (any ridge that is as high as a footwear sole or higher)?
• Is there any ice or water on cold room floors?
• Is the floor slippery when wet?
• Are any anti-slip paint, coating profiles, or tapes worn smooth or damaged?
• Are there any isolated low steps (commonly at doorways)?
• Are there any trip hazards due to equipment and other objects left on the floor?
• Are there any raised carpet edges or holes worn in carpets?
• Are there any tiles becoming unstuck or curling at the edges?
• Are there any holes or unevenness in the floor surface?
Stairs and ramps
• Is the lighting insufficient for ramps or steps to be seen clearly and without glare?
• Do any steps have too small a rise, tread, or an excessive nosing?
• Are any step edges (nosings) slippery or hard to see?
• Are the steps uneven, or are there excessive variations in step dimensions?
• Are handrails inadequate on stairs?
• Are ramps too steep, or too slippery?
Lighting
• Is there insufficient lighting in passageways and at flooring transitions, ramps, or stairs?
• Does the lighting throw distracting shadows or produce excessive glare?
Outdoor areas
• Is there a build-up of moss or other vegetation on pathways?
• Are there any surface transitions not easily noticed (any ridge that is as high as a footwear sole or higher)?
• Are there potholes in footpaths or walkways?
Housekeeping
• Is there a build-up of polish on floors?
• Is there an excessive residue of detergent?
• Do workers have to walk on floors wet from washing?
• Are wet floor signs not available or not used correctly?
