Every year, on April 28, workers, families, employers, and others come together at events held around the province to remember those who have lost their lives on the job, and to renew our commitment to creating safer workplaces. I have worked in many sectors both public and private for many years.   What have I learned? That as employers, supervisors, managers we should never let our guard down, be committed to orientations and on the job training, review company policies/procedures to ensure their current and working, listen to your workforce, perform risk assessment, perform incident investigations thoroughly coming up with corrective action that will drive change, safe lives, and injuries.   As employee(s)/trainer(s) take company orientations and on the job training seriously, follow company policies, procedures, keep your eyes and mind on the task, never work impaired, and always stop work if you or your co-workers feel the work is unsafe or an individual you are working with is impaired. Work with your company to ensure that the jobsite is safe so that we all go home to our loved ones at the end of every workday. #forestry #logging #mining #Exploration #Lng #oilandgas #CICC #safety

As we venture into pool season, let's take a moment to discuss how we can walk into negligence quickly without knowing it. I pulled this video off of a group on facebook and of course, it is in use here for fair-use as education. For those who misinterpret my direct nature as condescending, you know where the exit door is. Moving on: ----- The post: "Walked in this morning we found a 600 gallon tank empty." -- Interestingly, aquatics is the most frugal when it comes to expenses. Liquid chlorine at $4/gallon in bulk or $2400 is pretty hefty. The problem in aquatics is that, "nobody died yet." "No hazmat call yet." , "Nobody was injured yet.", "No Lawsuit yet." - Aquatics operators seem to hedge bets like a carfully orchestrated game of roulette. ------------------------------------------- What else could go wrong here? Why do we have 3 chemical injection ports going into a pipe with a dead end? - Isn't this the perfect place where an employee could accidently turn the valve on the left to OFF and then allow chlorine and acid to mix into a volitile mess? Absolutely. ------- What if the tank is on the left, and we have three seperate bodies of water? Then, we are potentially cross-contaminating seperate pools. ------- If an adverse event would occur, there are several "big issues" that could present in a personal injury case. ------- There is zero support or securement for the PVC pipe. How easy it would be to step on that and crack open a much larger pipe. -------- Where is the spill contaminment? Okay, the connector broke due to lack of care; but, why isn't there an area for this to run into so that it does not contaminate the area? -------------------- In my experience there is a varying degree of concern across facilities. Lack of awarness of the catastrophic potential outcomes is not the first issue though. The first issue is the lack of barrier of entry into aquatics. Anybody can clean a pool, take care of pool, and "because i've done it this way for 51 years, it is what it is." Is obvious nomenclature. It however, does not make it correct. ---------------------- Many states require certification of pool operators, but this training is often conducted at the lowest cost, online, or otherwise without practical application. Many students have not even touched a swimming pool during their certification classes. They are given a "general list" of things to do and sent on their way. ----------------------- We need to step up our awareness in the aquatics industry past the idea of staffing, lifeguarding, and maintenence guys. We need to have regular reviews of facilities to review ongoing safety. -- There are great aquatics consultants out there, and then there are profit hungary ones. I promise you, I'm out for money. I also promise that with the cost of insurance as a public pool contractor I'm in it for safety. - I hope that you are too!

A Health and Safety Executive inspector, Peter Lennon, has written movingly on the Morecambe Bay cockling disaster, which took place just over 20 years ago. On 5 February 2004, a group of more than 30 workers were cut off by rising tides in the bay, with at least 21 tragically losing their lives. It's an awful anniversary, with the original event combining elements of illegal immigration, gang working, non-existent health and safety measures, and - it's thought - a mistake about the timing of that day's tides. Peter Lennon explains how the HSE established a team to help in the investigation and work out how to prevent anything similar from happening again. That's the basis of much of the HSE's work, and indeed it's something that's incumbent on all health and safety professionals. Whenever there's an accident, incident or near miss, we're bound to ask what happened, find out why, and set about making sure it can never be allowed to happen again. https://lnkd.in/ekmpvbBQ

In a review of the draft National Levee Safety Guidelines, this report offers transformational revisions to make the document actionable and accessible, as well as streamline the implementation of the content from guidelines to standards. The report recommends refining six sections to establish guidelines, revising additional content into nine technical specification appendices and one collection of best practices, and removing five sections where external resources can be referenced. Excerpt from text: “To be applied nationally, the guidelines must be revised to ensure all communities are supported with equal requirements from levee analysis to social equity and implementation. Examples such as allowing a reduced level of effort and quality of analysis for the inventory of current and forecast of future conditions limit the effectiveness of the guidelines. Revisions such as including the average lifecycle that levees in the United States are currently performing, integrating levee removal, and including how land cover impacts flood risk are necessary components that will strengthen the application of the guidelines.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gn5XDMHg
