Combating Fatigue

Avoid substances and medicines that may affect your performance

Do not over-extend to performing additional work

If workload is high ask your supervisor for assistance

19

Combined Critical Behaviors

Surrounding conditions and situational awareness Nearly every task attempted has associated risks or hazards ABS employees in-the-field should be cognizant of unsafe staging or

means of access

Identify the steps needed to complete a task

Pinpoint possible hazards for each step and take steps to mitigate risks

20

Patrolling & Walk Arounds

Be aware of your surroundings Unsafe staging or means of access, including ladders Unprotected openings Tripping or electrical hazards Poor housekeeping Improper confined space entry Other workers carrying out jobs Be aware of falling objects

21

Critical Behavior #1: Line of Fire

Exposure to energy sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.)

Distracted driving is also a hazard related to this critical behavior

22

Avoiding Electrical Injuries

Verify appropriate Lock-out/Tag-out

Use fiberglass ladders instead of metal ladders

Beware of power lines when you work with ladders and scaffolding

Mark entrances to restricted locations with visible warning signs

23

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Must be maintained, compliant and readily accessible Head protection – hard hats Hearing protection – ear plugs Face and eye protection – safety glasses Hand protection – gloves Foot protection – steel toe safety boots Leg protection – knee pads and shin guards

Other Equipment and Tools Flashlight and torch (intrinsically safe) Multi-gas meter

24

25

Critical Behavior #2: Eyes on Task

It is important to pay attention to the task at hand

When you are not looking at what you are doing, you lose the ability to react to events, as they occur, which is your best defense against injury

To reduce risk for accidents, stay focused on the task at hand, do one thing at a time and try to ignore distractions

26

Personnel Transfer to Vessels

Complete a risk assessment briefing prior to the transfer activity

Have lifesaving appliances ready for immediate use

Know emergency recovery methods

Have a crewmember present to assist

Clear areas for embarking and/or disembarking

Back to Behaviors

27

Critical Behavior #3: Eyes on Path

Keep your vision unobstructed when in motion and always be on the lookout for hazards in the path below, above or to the sides of you

To avoid slips, trips and falls, look before you walk and make sure that your pathway is clear

28

Avoid Slips, Trips & Falls

Maintain good housekeeping

Cleanup spills immediately

Stow away tools or other equipment after use

Discard and clear scraps and debris

Coil-up any lines when not in use

Report tripping hazards immediately

29

Keep Paths Clear

Evacuation routes should be kept clear on worksites and at the office

Emergency exits should never be blocked

Lifesaving equipment should be readily accessible

Equipment should not be stowed in aisles, hallways or stairwells

Back to Behaviors

30

Critical Behavior #4: Pinch-Points

Pinch-points can occur anywhere a part of the body can get caught between two objects

Never perform a task without proper training, by taking shortcuts, or bypassing procedures – the consequences could be serious

31

Aerial Lift Precautions

Mobile Elevated Work Platforms Routinely maintain vehicles Lift controls need to be tested prior to starting

any task Operators must be trained and qualified Work within basket – do not sit or climb on the rails Safety belt or harness must be used as a proper

means of restraint

Back to Behaviors

32

Critical Behavior #5: 3-Point Contact

The three-point contact system entails keeping three-points of contact

Two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand at all times – on ladders, stairs or unstable and/or wet surfaces

Wear proper footwear with good traction
