However, seemingly minor hazards can be just as capable of causing a serious injury when they are ignored. Small Hazards Can Have Serious Consequences Consider these examples: A small puddle of oil from a leaking forklift may not seem urgent, but it can cause a serious slip and fall.

Entering and Exiting Vehicles Safely Drivers and employees who frequently enter and exit trucks, vans, heavy equipment, farm equipment, and other large vehicles can suffer serious injuries from slips, trips, and falls. Sprains, strains, fractures, and back injuries often occur when employees jump from vehicles, miss a step, lose their grip, or rush while climbing in or out. Using the vehicle's steps and handholds correctly and maintaining three points of contact can significantly reduce these injuries. Before You Climb Before entering or exiting a vehicle: Inspect steps, running boards, and handholds for damage. Keep steps and grab handles free of mud, grease, oil, snow,...

On stairways alone, falls result in almost two million disabling injuries yearly. There are thousands more minor injuries caused by slips, trips, and falls each year. Most alarming of all is the fact that industrial falls cause over 1,000 deaths each year. Slips occur when there is too little friction between a person’s feet and the walking surface.

Floor Buffer Safety Floor buffers, burnishers, scrubbers, and other powered floor-maintenance machines can make cleaning and finishing hard-surface floors more efficient, but improper use can result in slips and falls, chemical exposure, electrical shock, struck-by injuries, and loss of machine control. Machines vary considerably, including electric corded buffers, battery-powered walk-behind units, propane-powered equipment, and ride-on machines. Employees must be trained on the specific equipment they operate and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Before Operating the Machine Before using a floor buffer or similar machine: Operate the equipment only if you have been trained and authorized.

General Housekeeping Rules Keep scrap lumber containing protruding nails separate from other debris until the nails have been removed or bent over. Remove waste and debris from work areas regularly. Do not allow materials to accumulate. Place waste in designated containers or...
