TRANSPORTATION NEWS:
ADOT District Engineer – Dallas
Hammit Accepts State Level Post
The Prescott District staff has mixed emotions about Dallas Hammit’s promotion. They are very proud of his career advancement but will miss his management style and leadership skills. The Chamber Transportation Committee has
similar feelings. Hammit took on the Prescott duties in July 2005, replacing
longtime District Engineer Tom Foster, who retired earlier that year. Since
then, Hammit has overseen tens of millions of dollars worth of local projects on
state highways, including the interim Wickenburg By-Pass and the center turnlane project on south Highway 60. As deputy state engineer, his new position will
have Hammit overseeing ADOT’s eight rural districts, including Wickenburg.
His continued involvement in rural districts will help to ensure continuity on the
projects that currently underway. “Tip of the Stetson” to Dallas!

State Compensation Fund Tips-Keep
jobsite clean to avoid slip, trip, fall hazards
Slips trips and falls are the No.1 cause
of workplace injuries and are among the
most avoidable. Simple steps, such as
watching where you walk, are all that is
needed to curb these incidents. “Clean
up messes, and keep your jobsite tidy,”
says Claudia Baker, loss control manager
at SCF Arizona. “Too often people leave
empty boxes or extension cords lying
around creating a trip hazard for anyone
who may not be looking where they are
going.”
Keeping the workplace clean is an easy
way to avoid accidents. To further guard
against slips and trips, follow advice given
by the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration:
•
Wear appropriate shoes for the
job or task, including non-slip shoes
•
Avoid wearing sandals or open-
toe shoes, they do not provide protection
•
Wipe up spills immediately
•
Pick up spilled food and any other
items from floors as soon as possible
•
Keep walkways free from clutter
Falls from ladders can be fatal or cause
permanent disabilities. Many types of ladders are available and each has its own
requirements. OSHA’s suggestions for
ladder safety include:
•
Keep ladders free of oil, grease
and other slip hazards
•
Do not load ladders beyond their
maximum load or manufacturer’s rated
capacity
•
Use ladders only on stable, level
surfaces, unless secured
•
Do not use ladders on slippery
surfaces, unless secured, or they have
slip-resistant feet
•
Secure ladders placed in passageways, doorways or driveways
•
Use a barricade to keep traffic or
activity away from the ladder
•
Keep areas clear around the top
and bottom of ladders
•
Do not move, shift or extend ladders while in use
•
Make sure ladder is equipped
with nonconductive side rails if working
around electrical equipment
•
Face the ladder when moving up
or down
•
Use at least one hand to grasp
the ladder while climbing
•
Do not carry objects or loads that
could cause a loss of balance
For more information on avoiding
slips, trips and falls, including further
ladder safety, contact an SCF Arizona
