Safety Management Current Issues Spring 2007 SUSTAINABILITY • Components – Economic growth – Environmental integrity and performance – Social equity ISO: International Standards Organization DJSI: Dow Jones Sustainability Index Global Reporting Initiative http://www.globalreporting.org/Home SUSTAINABILITY • Environmental Performance (Eco-efficiency) and Environmental Reporting – Total GHG emissions (CO2) • Other GHG (CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC, SF6) – Total water use – Total energy consumption – Total waste generation (www.theclimateregistry.org) SUSTAINABILITY • Economic Indicators (DJSI) – Codes of Conduct / Compliance / Corruption & Bribery – Corporate Governance – Risk and Crisis Management SUSTAINABILITY • Social Indicators (concept is evolving – no current standard definition under ISO) “How does an organization establish internal procedures that create wealth and improve society?” – Corporate Citizenship / Philanthropy – Labor Practices (Health and Safety) – Human Capital Development – Talent Attraction & Retention Rutgers Sustainability Activities • University Sustainability Committee • Recyclemania • Sustainable Design criteria • Alternative Fuel Vehicles – Natural Gas – Biodiesel (B-20) • Sustainable Purchasing Program – – – – Recycled paper Green cleaning chemicals Computers (EPEAT standard) Furniture RFP Pandemic Flu Planning • Pandemic Sheltering Group – Formed under EOC (includes Housing, Dining, Res. Life, etc) – Estimate need for food, shelter, quarantine, or medical isolation – Define current maximum surge capacity – Selection of suitable locations – Plan for provision with expectation of 40% absenteeism – Ensure needed supplies – Sheltering plan as prototype for other situations “Chance favors the prepared mind.” Louis Pasteur EPA Self Audit Program • Systematic audit of environmental requirements • Disclose violations • Correct all violations • Prevent recurrence of future violations – Universal waste (storage & labeling) – Stormwater (grounds maintenance) – SPCC inspections Oil Spill – Busch Campus Oil Spill – Busch Campus Oil Spill – Busch Campus Unit Safety Committees • Promote employee involvement • Performance measures – “Leading” indicators (predictors of performance) – Different from traditional institutional performance indicators – List in handouts • Assessing incidents for “Preventability” Assessing Incidents-Preventability Scale • Should this have been prevented or avoided? • Rate incidents - Scale of 1 – 5 – 1 Unit / employee are not at fault – 2 Cause was hard to detect – 3 Foreseeable with diligence – 4 Recognizable by a reasonable individual – 5 Obvious hazard or safety procedure ignored Accident Preventability Chart No Fault Preventable - Not Clearly Recognized Hazard Preventable by trained employee (3) Preventable by any reasonable person Clearly Preventable (5) Pursuit of suspect slipped on ice (RUPD) Instructor struck by student (DDDC) Cut finger while cutting meat (Dining) Struck tree stump while driving cart (Golf Course) Struck in head by bucket while moving scissor lift (FOS) Stopped in traffic, another vehicle struck rear of van (FOS) Automatic door struck employee while entering building (Life Sci.) Employee strained back while moving stove (Housing) Employee cut finger with a glass smoke tube (REHS) Debris in eye while working overhead (all depts) (1) IAQ STANDARD - REQUIREMENTS • Designate a person responsible for compliance – Must be familiar w/ req. • Establish PM program – Meeting manufacturer's recommendations or by following accepted practice • Compliance Program – Check HVAC when temp/CO2 exceed specified parameters – Install controls if maintenance activities (or other sources) create condition above PEL – Relocate inlets/exhaust if contamination of OA identified • Employee Complaints – Investigate promptly • Written Plan – Must describe how compliance will be achieved – Annual review of program • Control of Microbial Growth – Visual inspections of HVAC and other systems – Prompt repair or continue assessment until repair is completed – Clean up/drying/removal of wet materials within 48 hours IAQ STANDARD - REQUIREMENTS • Recordkeeping – Required for any work to HVAC or bldg systems – Must include date of service and name person or company performing work – Maintain records for 3 years – Must be provided to employee upon written request within 10 working days • PEOSH Complaints – Respond to complaint within 15 working days – Provide other documents, per request (such as as-built, testing/balancing reports, manuals, etc. • Renovation Work – Prevent infiltration of contaminants – Review MSDSs prior to determination of products used & nature of controls – Work area shall be cleaned and ventilated, as necessary, prior to reoccupancy – 24 hour notice to employees if work may introduce contaminants into occupied area • Smoking – Section removed Electrical Standard – 1910 Subpart S • OSHA promulgated revised electrical standards (subpart S) – Effective date 8/13/07 – PEOSH must adopt within 6 months (2/13/07) – Used NFPA 70E 2002 as guide – Utilities operation exempt (comply with power distribution std) • Work Practices vs. Installation – Predominantly, will affect how we do electrical work • Installations – Generally, we are compliant • State DCA Codes • Standard states NJ meets 1999 NEC codes – Must update installation if overhaul to equipment (similar to code upgrades for renovation projects) – Prohibition on using ground terminals/devices for any other purpose – Must label equipment • Magnitude, approach distance and hazard information Requirements for Work Practices (Subpart S) • For any work on equipment w/ exposed live parts – Lo/To will eliminate need • Must assess task for hazard and need for PPE – How is up to employer – Shock and flash hazard analysis • PPE – Equipment – Based on assessment – Gloves, eye/face protection, hearing protection, head protection, etc • PPE – Clothing – May need to change uniform • Current clothing not adequate for all work performed • Provide rated shirts, pants, coveralls, jackets, etc. • GFCI required for all maintenance work • No 3/2 prong adapters “To achieve excellence, you must first prepare to excel and then, commit to excel.”
