Workplace Safety Briefing · Rules, hazards and habits that keep everyone going home whole A training briefing for all staff · Hard Hat · Eye Protection · Gloves · Safety Boots
Slide 2 Why it matters
The stakes · U.S. workers killed on the job in 2024 — that is nearly 14 every working day. · 2.5M · nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private-industry employers in 2024 · Most incidents trace back to the same handful of hazards — which means most are preventable. · Safety is not paperwork: it is the difference between a normal shift and a tragedy. · Prevention starts here
Slide 3 OSHA's most-cited violations, FY 2024
What gets people hurt · Source: OSHA most frequently cited standards, FY 2024 — fall protection has topped the list 14 years running · Workplace safety briefing 03
Slide 4 The hierarchy of controls
Fix the hazard, not the person · Most effective · Least effective · Elimination · Remove the hazard entirely · Substitution · Swap it for something safer · Engineering controls
Slide 5 Know your hazards
Spot it before it strikes · 5/ 10Hazard identification · Physical · Noise, vibration, machinery, working at height, extreme temperatures. · Chemical · Dusts, fumes, solvents, gases — read the label and the safety data sheet. · Ergonomic · Repetitive motion, awkward posture, manual lifting.
Slide 6 PPE — Wear it right
Last line of defense · Head · Hard hat where there is falling or fixed-object risk. · Eyes & face · Safety glasses or goggles for cutting, grinding, chemicals. · Hearing · Plugs or muffs above 85 dB. · Hands
Slide 7 Slips, trips and falls
The everyday killers · Falls are the leading cause of death in construction — and fall protection is OSHA's most-cited standard. · Years running at the top of OSHA's citation list · Housekeeping rules · Clean spills immediately · Post a wet-floor sign until the surface is dry. · Keep walkways clear · Cables, hoses and boxes are trip hazards.
Slide 8 When it goes wrong: emergency basics
Red zone — know this cold · Before you need it · Know your alarm sound, your exits and your assembly point — before the emergency, not during it. · Fire · Raise the alarm first. Use an extinguisher only if the fire is small and your exit stays clear. · Injury · Call for help, do not move a seriously injured person, and get the first-aider. · Never re-enter
Slide 9 See something, say something
Speak up — it works · Reporting is about fixing conditions, not blaming people · Report every near miss · A near miss is tomorrow's injury, seen in time. · Stop work when unsafe · You have the right and the duty to stop work when something looks unsafe. · Fixed for everyone · A hazard reported once is a hazard fixed for everyone.
Slide 10 Safety is
Everyone's Job · Know the hazards of your task before you start · Fix the hazard before reaching for PPE · Keep your area clean and your PPE in condition · Report near misses and stop unsafe work · Safety is everyone's job · Every shift. Every task. Every person.
