Question

Scenario 1 (9 Points total, 3 points each subsection of the question) As the ES&H manager for a nationwide franchise of handymen, you have set up a system of job safety analyses (also known as job hazard analyses; JSA or JHA) for your crews. Using the Table below, create a JSA for a handyman to clean residential roof gutters on one- and two-story residences. As you are aware, roof gutters collect rainwater from the roof and direct the water to down spouts. Leaves and other debris often collect in gutters, blocking the run off path, and the water overflows, dripping or cascading onto walkways and plants below. This can lead to structural damage. To clean gutters, a person must climb a ladder and scoop or pick the debris out of the gutter and into a bucket. When the gutter is fairly clean, a hose is used to wash the remaining debris from the gutter down the downspout. Doing so also dislodges and clears the downspouts so the collected gutter water can flow freely. Create additional rows in this table, as needed. List the individual tasks involved in this job. List their associated hazards. List possible controls. Job Safety Analysis for Date Created: JHA Prepared by: ES&H Manager Task Step Description Task Hazards Task Controls 1. 2. Scenario 2 (9 Points total, 3 points each subsection of the question) A grounds-keeping worker was found dead on a riding mower that had plowed into a horizontal pipe that was about 4 feet off the ground. The worker was pinned to the mower seat by the pipe that had crushed him. The ground was sloped and had well heads and other obstructions that required careful steering to drive around. The worker was experienced in operating mowing equipment, but it was his first day on the job with this employer and his new supervisor had told him not to get started until he (the supervisor) returned from an errand he had to run. The fatally injured worker was discovered by another worker who immediately called the emergency response team. The body was removed by ambulance. The scene was preserved to the extent possible and barrier tape was posted to keep everyone out. Because you are on the safety committee, you have been asked to serve on the accident investigation team to determine the causal factors and root cause(s) of this fatality. The company management is providing full support for this investigation. As you think about working on this investigation, list three questions that you would want to find answers to and describe how each question will help the team determine possible causes, or rule out possible causes. For each of your questions, discuss two specific ways that the team might get the information needed to answer the question (i,e., who you would interview, what documents you would review, what measurements you would take, etc.) Your team will have access to the accident scene and to all documents that might be needed, interviews will be arranged, and experts can be brought in. At this point, you don’t know what happened, beyond the scenario described above. Scenario 3 (6 points total, 2 points per subsection) You are a member of the safety committee of a large private security force whose 5-year contract with a major government installation, covering dozens of square miles and over 100 buildings, will come up for re-bid in three years. The scope of work includes 24/7 security guard coverage, badge processing, intelligence gathering, emergency planning and response, etc. The officers must maintain high levels of physical fitness and proficiency in weapons and tactical force and they have onsite facilities for this training. Looking ahead and seeing lots of competition for this contract, management decides to improve its safety culture in order to reduce lost work time, worker injuries, and property damage. The safety committee is asked to make an assessment of steps that should be taken to achieve this goal. The committee will examine management commitment and employee involvement, hazard recognition, hazard control, and training. As a safety committee member, you agreed to identify and analyze management commitment and employee involvement and report to the committee. You report will consist of: Identify and briefly discuss three actions management can take to help build/improve safety culture. Describe how two of the selected actions can be measured over time to show improvement or effectiveness. (hint: think about more or fewer, or less time to… In other words, how can we measure the effectiveness of these changes?) Briefly discuss two ways that employees can be involved in the safety program and describe how this enhanced involvement could be measured to show improvement.

Explanation / Answer

Assemble all the people involved in the task and then prepare a job safety analyis worksheet. Make a list of all the tasks done step by step. Then after that identify the risk involved in doing the task like it can by injury to the person doing task or injury to the person nearby. For each risk involved identify the measures to minimize or control its possiblity. Write the name of the person which is involved in implementing the control measures and lastly make sure all the activities are being supervised.

Work description: a person climbs the ladder to reach the roof, remove the debris out of the gutter and put it into a bucket, clean remaining debris from the gutter and downspouts by the hose

Hazard: the person while climbing on the ladder to the roof can fall

Hazard control: make sure the ladder is strong and be able to support the person, check any flaws if present in the ladder like loose screws etc. Also the person can also fall due to wet or slippery surface, so the person should wear those footwear which provides firm grip.
