Things that make you go hmmmm. Alright my professional trades personnel I have a question. I have been coached that gas powered equipment has to have fire protection (fire extinguisher) within a certain distance. I am of the opinion the fire prevention provided as per fire safety plans are not to be used for general scopes of work. Do you agree or do you think crews should be able to identify site provided fire protection as a control measure for the equipment they are using? Example a gas powered generator is being used with no provided fire extinguisher but there is an emergency box within 20 feet of the workarea. #construction #constructionindustry #safetyleadership #safetyleader #prevention

Being aware of the dangers involved in Aerial fire ladder apparatus deployment for Fire Ground - structural fire fighting & rescue operations Today’s tip is directed at fire service personnel. I want to discuss the dangers of aerial ladder operations. And I’m not talking about being afraid of heights, which plenty of firefighters are. I’m talking about the very real hazards that firefighters face when operating on aerial ladders. Whether you’re training or operating on an emergency incident, dangers exist.  The dangers of operating on or around an aerial ladder are varied. Some are due to a lack of situational awareness. Others are because of an equipment failure. Whatever the source, the consequences are high. At best, a close call and a learning opportunity. At worst, injury or even death.   Let’s face it. Whenever you’re operating at any height, gravity poses a real threat. It doesn’t care if you’re on the training ground or outside a burning building, you’ve got to be aware of your situation. Now think about wearing a 30-pound SCBA on your back while climbing. What about carrying a pike pole and a chain saw? How about climbing alongside a midrise building on fire to perform ventilation or a rescue? You can see how each of these circumstances makes you more likely to fall from the aerial ladder.   Another thing you’ve got to watch out for are obstructions. An obstruction might be as benign as a tree limb that the ladder operator didn’t visualize before setting up your climb. Or the obstruction might be as potentially deadly as a high-voltage line. Either way, an obstruction can be a real problem.  An equipment failure is something over which you have less control, but it can kill you, nevertheless. Proper maintenance and routine use are your best friends in trying to identify and prevent these failures before you put a firefighter on the aerial ladder in any circumstance.   Fortunately, by being aware of and planning for the dangers of aerial ladder use, you can help ensure safer operations. Remember to use a ladder belt, when appropriate. Help the driver spot the turntable and the tip of the ladder. Never climb while the ladder is extending or raising. Visualize obstructions. Train. And pay attention to what you are doing when operating on an aerial ladder!   Courtesy: Lexipol, USA - Mr. Gordan Graham.Lexipol is a leading consultant providing comprehensive risk management solution for public safety & local government in USA. # Lexipol
