PUBLIC AWARENESS SEMINAR SERIES 2016 Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 28 JAN 2016 | NIOSH BANDAR BARU BANGI SAFETY CULTURE IMPROVEMENT WITH BEHAVIORAL SAFETY During the last decades companies have invested a lot of time and effort reducing risks for injuries by developing technical solutions and implementing safety management systems. As a result, the number of incidents has been reduced significantly. However, often the incident rate remains on a stubborn plateau and companies look for additional measures to further improve their safety performance based on internal or external requirements. Factors for occupational accidents can be technical, organizational or behavioral. The latter one is paving the way for many pre-existing factors to come together and by this is the final common pathway for almost all accidents. Although many incidents are attributed to people’s carelessness or poor safety attitude, most of these are triggered by underlying barriers for safe behavior or supported by the culture of an organization. A Behavioral Safety approach addresses at-risk behaviors and identifies underlying barriers. Although Behavioral Safety usually focuses on workshop employee level, an active role and contribution of all employees is required. Essential in Behavioral Safety is to show leadership and activate employees to identify and remove barriers for safe behavior and how to motivate people to strive towards and sustain an injury-free culture. The 1-Day seminar is designed to provide the participants with deeper background information about Safety Culture Improvement based on Behavioral Safety. It will introduce effective tools to improve safe behavior for all levels of employees. The seminar is based on the trainer’s practical experience of successfully implementing safety culture improvement programs in many different countries and includes theoretical. Objectives: At the end of this seminar, participants should be able to: • define an injury-free culture • understand motivation for behavior and how to change behavior • know details of the 4 elements of a BehaviorBased Safety (BBS) program • be aware of potential pitfalls and success factors of Behavioral Safety Target Audience: •OHS professionals • Plant manager, heads of organizations • Line manager in production, construction, maintenance, warehousing, laboratory etc. in all industries • Project manager 2 PUBLIC AWARENESS SEMINAR SERIES 2016 Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 28 JAN 2016 | NIOSH BANDAR BARU BANGI SAFETY CULTURE IMPROVEMENT WITH BEHAVIORAL SAFETY N O.

An example is the interior of a storage tank, which may be occasionally entered by workers for maintenance but is otherwise not a habitable space. Hazards in a confined space often include harmful dust or gases, asphyxiation, submersion in liquids or free-flowing granular solids (for example, grain bins), electrocution, or entrapment. Confined space accidents are of particular concern in occupational safety and health due to the hazards that they pose to the victim and subsequently to a rescue team. Confined space training outlines the skills and protocols for safe entry to confined spaces, and includes precautions such as locking and tagging out connecting piping, testing of breathable air quality, forced ventilation, observation of workers in the space, and a predetermined rescue plan with appropriate safety harnesses and other rescue equipment standing by. Description Although the definition of a confined space varies between jurisdictions, it is generally recognized as a space that: • has limited or restricted means of entry or exit; • is large enough for a person to enter to perform tasks; • is not designed or configured for continuous occupancy; and • has the potential for a significant hazard to be present. 4 Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 A utility tunnel, the inside of a boiler (only accessible when the boiler is off), the inside of a fluid storage tank, a septic tank that has contained sewage, and a small underground electrical vault are all examples of confined spaces. Ships and other vessels commonly have confined spaces due to the need for compartmentalized watertight construction. The exact definition of a confined space varies depending on the type of industry. That is, confined spaces on a construction site are defined differently than confined spaces in a paper mill. Confined spaces that present special hazards to workers, including risks of toxic or asphyxiant gas accumulation, fires, falls, flooding, and entrapment may be classified as permit-required confined spaces depending on the nature and severity of the hazard. Even normally habitable parts of a building such as corridors or offices may take on the characteristics of a confined space, during operations that alter normal ventilation and access. For example, a room may be wrapped in plastic sheeting for painting and any vapour emitted in the room may not be dispersed by blocked ventilation ducts. In the U.S., entry into permit-required confined spaces must comply with regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). These regulations include developing a written program, issuing entry permits, assigning attendant(s), designating entrants, and ensuring a means of rescue. According to the OSHA, a permit-required confined space (permit space) has the three characteristics listed above (which define a confined space) and one or more of the following: 1. Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere 2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing the entrant 3. Has an internal configuration that might cause an entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section 4. Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazards. In addition to the hazards posed by the design of the space, work activities can also pose serious safety hazards (heat, noise, vapors, etc.) that must be taken into account when identifying safety measures that must be taken. 5 Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 . Atmospheric hazards Entry certification The most common hazard seen in confined spaces is that of atmospheric hazards. These affect air quality and present immediate hazards to health or life. Acceptable atmospheric conditions must be verified before entry, and must be monitored continuously while the space is occupied. The oxygen concentration, the presence of toxic gases, and flammable material are the three conditions that must be monitored. In many situations, certification of non-hazardous atmosphere by a trained or competent person is required before personnel may enter a confined space without the use of a respirator. In the United States Navy, that person is the designated shipboard gas-free engineer. Certification in civilian settings can be performed by an Entry Supervisor who, under OSHA regulations, is designated by the employer and ensures that the space is safe to enter and all hazards are controlled. Oxygen concentration is considered safe if it is between 19.5% and 23.5% of the total atmosphere. To protect against toxic gases, contaminants have permissible exposure limits (PELs), which are set by OSHA. Work also cannot continue if the concentration of a material reaches or exceeds 10% of its lower explosive limit. In the United States, agricultural and construction operations are exempted from regulations governing permit-required confined spaces (which is specific to general industry), but they are still required to identify and control confined space hazards. Injuries and fatalities Even if a tank or similar vessel initially is tested and found to contain breathable air, a hazard can develop during operations inside the tank if residues inside the tank can release toxic gas or vapor when disturbed or if accidentally ignited. Steel water tanks may have dangerously low oxygen concentration when the interior rusts. Injuries and fatalities involving confined spaces are frequent and often involve successive fatalities when would-be rescuers succumb to the same problem as the initial victim. Approximately 60% of fatalities involve would-be rescuers and more than 30% of fatalities occur in a space that has been tested and found to be safe to enter. One example was in 2006 at the decommissioned Sullivan Mine in British Columbia, Canada when one initial victim and then three rescuers all died. Accidents in confined spaces present unique challenges and are often catastrophic, such as the Xcel Energy Cabin Creek Fire in 2007. 6 Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 . In 1999, North West OHS released a study of confined space fatalities based on reports from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Institute of Occupational Safety Health (NIOSH) and the Mines Safety and Health Administration (MHSA) with a breakdown of their causes. Researchers believe that the following numbers are only a fraction of the fatal confined space accidents that actually occurred as many locations are not initially identified as confined space s, OSHA reports did not include non-hazardous confined space fatalities in their studies prior to 1982, NIOSH still do not include non-hazardous confined space fatalities in their studies and many American states do not note the presence of confined spaces in fatality reports submitted to OSHA. • Fire and Explosion (OSHA 1982a): 50 confined space incidents from 1974 to 1979 with 76 fatalities. The majority of incidents were caused by worker error or faulty equipment. • Lockout-tagout (OSHA 1982b): 83 confined space incidents from 1974 to 1980 with 83 fatalities. This category covers conveyor belts and machinery on the factory floor etc. that are not generally considered confined spaces, but which satisfy the criteria for a confined space. • Grain Handling (OSHA 1983): 105 confined space incidents from 1977 to 1981 with 126 fatalities. • Toxic and Asphyxiating Atmospheres (OSHA 1985): 122 confined space incidents from 1974 to 1982 with 173 fatalities. • Welding and Cutting (OSHA 1988): 217 incidents from 1974 to 1985 with 262 fatalities. OSHA reports of welding and cutting deaths do not record whether or not an incident has occurred in a confined space, it is estimated that 22% of the incidents were in a confined space. • Shipbuilding & Repair (OSHA 1990): 151 incidents from 1974 to 1984 with 176 fatalities. OSHA reports of shipbuilding deaths do not record whether or not an incident has occurred in a confined space, it is estimated that 36% of the incidents were in a confined space. • Mining (MSHA Report 1988): 38 confined space incidents from 1980 to 1986 with 44 fatalities. According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries program, fatal injuries in confined spaces fluctuated from a low of 81 in 1998 to a high of 100 in 2000 during the f iveyear period, averaging 92 fatalities per year. Rescue Where a system of entry permits is in place, a rescue plan is required. It will list the personnel and equipment required to be at the worksite before entry is allowed. Special equipment such as tripod hoists, harnesses, and others may be required to extricate a worker from a toxic environment, without unduly endangering rescue personnel.

Wilson(Editor), Sarah Sharples Written by experts with real-world experience in applying ergonomics methodology in a range of contexts, Evaluation of Human Work, Fourth Edition explores ergonomics and human factors from a "doing it" perspective. More than a cookbook of ergonomics methods, the book encourages students to think about which methods they should apply, when, and why. Now in its fourth edition, the editors have again brought together a team of worldrenowned experts and created a forum for them to discuss and debate their most valued approaches. See What’s New in the Fourth Edition: • Significant change of authorship and content in each chapter • Five new chapters covering inclusive design, situation awareness, neuroergonomics, ergonomics and quality, and standards in ergonomics design and evaluation • Discussion of the idea of reflective practice and Ergonomics/Human Factors • Examination of the systems perspective now prevalent in the field • Coverage of new tools and the relationship between these physiologically measured parameters and theoretical concepts such as workload, fatigue, stress, or effort In addition to being a foundational text, the book is an authoritative reference for practising ergonomists. Completely revised and updated, this fourth edition retains the features that have made the book a perennial favourite. After reading each chapter you will feel as though you understand the context of how to practise ergonomics and what aspects of method selection and implementation you should consider. The book provides a guide to the benefits ergonomics and human factors can offer industry, business, or human service professionals. 8 Continue… Issue 24, Volume 8, 2015 by John R. Wilson(Editor), Sarah Sharples Editorial Reviews Review "From the first edition, this text was a ‘must have’; it still is. Ergonomics/human factors (E, HF) addresses real problems in the real world and its broad arsenal of methods and tools is one of the strengths of the field. …This fourth edition continues the same overall concept as the first, but has added a number of new chapters and updated all existing ones. As always, the chapter authors are experts in their area. The emphasis on being up-to-date and authoritative makes the book an essential source for anyone interested in the human – system design and interaction." ―Professor Ann Williamson, University of New South Wales, Australia "… great book. If you liked the previous editions of the book, then you will like this new fourth edition even better. The late john Wilson and his colleague Sarah Sharples have done an amazing job in pulling a group of international experts that cover the range of human factors and ergonomics domains." ―Pascale Carayon, University of Wisconsin-Madison About the Author John R Wilson was Professor of Human Factors at the University of Nottingham and also worked for many years part time as a human factors specialist within Network Rail, the UK rail infrastructure provider.
