Think outside the box
• This program will use a different approach
in providing this training. We will include
some case histories of accidents.
– what happened,
– why did it happen,
– how we can prevent it from happening
again.

Has OSHA helped save lives?
• Before the founding of OSHA in 1970, workplace deaths
in the United States averaged around 14,000 per year.
• As our population grows, the number of workers
increases.
• Also the number of hours worked increases
• OSHA's mission is to send every worker
home whole and healthy every day..

Contractor Fatality
Report
On September 23, 2002, a worker was fatally injured
while operating a backhoe attachment on a Bobcat
Loader. It appears that during operation, the
backhoe attachment rotated backward pinning the
upper chest of the operator between a handrail on
the backhoe frame and the cab surrounding the
normal operating position of the loader.
