Workplace Inspections - 3.5 General requirement Every employer must ensure that regular inspections are made of all workplaces, including buildings, structures, grounds, excavations, tools, equipment, machinery and work methods and practices, at intervals that will prevent the development of unsafe working conditions. Legal requirements WorkSafeBC OH&S Regulations. 3.8 Participation of the committee or representative An inspection required by section 3.5 and a major inspection required by section 3.7 must, where feasible, include the participation of members of the joint committee or the worker health and safety representative, as applicable, but (a) if there is no committee or worker health and safety representative the employer must designate an employer representative and the union must designate a worker representative, or (b) if there is no union the employer must invite the workers to designate one of their number. 3.5 General requirement Workplace Inspections 1. What are committee members attempting to identify when doing workplace inspections?. 2. How often should workplace inspections be conducted?. 3. When an unsafe condition is found during regular tour or inspection what steps should be followed? 4. Do committee members only do workplace inspections once a month? Legal requirements WorkSafeBC OH&S Regulations. 3.7 Special inspections A special inspection must be made when required by malfunction or accident. Legal requirements WorkSafeBC OH&S Regulations. 4.3 Safe machinery and equipment (1) The employer must ensure that each tool, machine and piece of equipment in the workplace is; (a) capable of safely performing the functions for which it is used, and (b) selected, used and operated in accordance with (i) the manufacturer's instructions, if available, (ii) safe work practices, and (iii) the requirements of this Regulation.

Legal requirements Workers Compensation Act. Duties and functions of joint committee 130 A joint committee has the following duties and functions in relation to its workplace: (a) to identify situations that may be unhealthy or unsafe for workers and advise on effective systems for responding to those situations; (h) to ensure that accident investigations and regular inspections are carried out as required by this Part and the regulations; (i) to participate in inspections, investigations and inquiries as provided in this Part and the regulations What Makes a Successful Health & Safety System? Successful safety and health systems have the following in place: • Managers committed to making the program work. • Employees involved in the program. • A system to identify and control hazards. • Compliance with OSHA regulations. • Training on safe work practices. • Mutual respect, caring and open communication in a climate conducive to safety. • Continuous improvement Conducting an Inspection During an inspection, identify unsafe conditions and activities that may cause injury or illness, so you can take corrective measures. Once you know the hazards, you can decide how to control them. • Prioritize the hazards you found • Make a plan for correcting the hazards • Correct the hazards • Evaluate the changes. Hierarchy of Control • The best way to protect workers is to remove or eliminate the hazard from the workplace. • Substitute dangerous chemicals, equipment or work methods with safer and less hazardous ones. • Engineering controls do not eliminate hazards, but rather isolate people from hazards. • Administrative controls are changes to the way people work. Types of Hazards • Chemical • Biological • Physical • Ergonomic • Psychosocial Inspection Tools How Do We Inspect Quality, not quantity It’s about being acutely aware of everything around you. Look up Look down Look all around Look at everything and everyone It’s not a race to get from point A to point B! Schedule the time to do the inspection properly. The moment you become focused on getting somewhere or distracted (such as running late for a meeting), you will start to look, but not see! What to Focus on Here are some examples of things to look for: • Uncorrected problems from the previous inspection report • Workers not following safe work procedures or procedures that aren’t correct • Improper storage of materials (for example, in front of emergency exits or electrical panels, or blocking aisles or stairs) • Accumulation of liquid or grease on floors • Failure to put a sign or barrier near wet floors • Lack of guarding on equipment • Poor maintenance of equipment Strategic Inspection There are four steps to setting up a good work place inspection program: 1.Planning the action to be taken. 2.Physical inspection of premises. 3.Writing reports. 4.Following up on recommendations. Housekeeping What exactly are we looking for? Tripping hazards, garbage and debris, improperly stored tools and equipment, cabs and enclosures clean and orderly. Stairways and landings are clear of debris. Slips, Trips and Falls What are examples of controls of slip, trip and fall hazards? 1. Eliminate 2. Substitute 3. Engineering 4. Administrative 5. PPE PPE (including contractors) What exactly are we looking for? Mandatory PPE throughout the site - steel toe boots with ankle support, safety eyewear and hardhat. Hearing protection must be used where required. Gloves must be used where required. Appropriate high-viz is required when exposed to the hazard of vehicles or mobile equipment. Confined Space What exactly are we looking for? Proper signage. All spaces have been identified and assessment complete. Emergency drill completed in the last year. Permit in place if required Air quality monitoring if required Ventilation if required Stand by person identified Rescue plan in place Fall Protection What exactly are we looking for? guardrails if a raised walkway is over 4 ft. above the adjacent floor or above a hazard. Equipment inspections completed prior to use. Annual inspection competed. Proper anchor points (engineered). Equipment properly set up. Lockout (includes proper use of latchout) What exactly are we looking for? All forms of energy and required equipment are de-energized/ isolated. Equipment is stopped before disconnects are disengaged. Disconnects are properly disengaged. Worker test starts and visually confirms equipment is in a zero energy state. Worker ensures stop button is pressed after test start is complete. Disconnect is properly re-energized. Gates in working order / shut What exactly are we looking for? Latches installed. Purpose of gate is clear. Gates or chains preventing entry must have signage. Access gates and chains are closed. Guarding What exactly are we looking for? Guarding as per OHS regulation. Can’t reach Around, Under, Through or Over (AUTO) If a guard (or gate used to prevent access to an unguarded area) can be removed without a tool then that area must be considered unguarded. Combustible Dust What exactly are we looking for? Unacceptable accumulations of combustible dust. Dust inspection records. Dust testing records. Dust inspection and testing records when conditions change (eg. 10 hr. shifts or species change). Unacceptable use of compressed air. Hotwork What exactly are we looking for? Permits being filled out correctly. Appropriate cleaning and wetting down prior to hotwork. Workers have been trained in hotwork. Firewatch monitors constantly for 1 hour after hotwork. Firewatch assigned and monitored hourly after hotwork completed. Fire protection What exactly are we looking for? Fire extinguishers have current tag and are inspected and available where identified. Smoking only in designated areas. Only service hoses used for fire watch. Fire extinguishers and hoses are accessible (not blocked). Fire drill completed within the last year. Management of change What exactly are we looking for? New equipment

  • Conifer Pruning EB1984
    EB1984 Donald P. Hanley, Ph.D. Stephen Reutebuch, M.S. Conifer Pruning Conifer pruning is the practice of removing the lower branches from live green conifer trees. Without pruning, the lower branches on conifers, such as Douglas-fir, western larch, and ponderosa pine, may persist for up to 80 years. The primary objective of pruning for wood quality improvement is to produce a small, uniform knotty core throughout the length of the pruned bole so that clear wood volume will be maximized. Achieving this objective may result in increased financial returns to the landowner when the trees are harvested. There are many other benefits from pruning, even if clear wood production or financial concerns are of secondary importance. These include: • Increased understory vegetation for wildlife. As young stands are thinned and the dominant and co-dominant trees are pruned, more light will reach the forest floor, resulting in increased grass, herb, and shrub vegetation over time. This new vegetation often attracts wildlife as forage, browse, and hiding cover. • Reduced fuel ladders. A “fuel-ladder” is the pathway that a fire can travel from the forest floor up to the tree canopy. Unpruned trees in unthinned stands have many low branches that can increase the probability of a fire getting into the tree crowns. Once the fire is in the crown, the likelihood of tree death is high and the probability of rapid fire spread increases. • Reduced incidence of disease. For some diseases, such as the introduced blister rust in white pine, pruning is a primary weapon in reducing the disease spread as blister rust fungi enters the tree through its needles near the ground.

Summer Camp 1948 ONE twenty-first, nineteen hundred forty-eight. This is the .) date. On this day the Kaniksu National Forest found it had one hundred and eight potential foresters eager to learn about the practices of forestry and the ways of the birds and bees. To orient ourselves we'll catch a glimpse of Priest River. The village of Priest River is located on U. S. highway 10 A and the main line of the Great Northern Railroad at the mouth of the Priest River Valley which extends north into Canada. It is the trading center for a large lumbering and agricultural area and is the gateway to beautiful Priest Lake. Industrial activities include 7 sawmills, 3 cedar pole yards, 4 shingle mills and large logging operations. One of the most important things we learn at camp is to enjoy the full benefits of good fellowship. Students and faculty are well known to each other, and thus form the basis for this communal attitude in the affairs of the school.
