  • OSHA Ladder Safety
    LADDER SAFETY INTRODUCTION Ladders are a necessary tool and every day millions of people use ladders at work and do so safely and without incident. But using a ladder requires a worker to be at height. A fall from what might seem to a short distance can be very serious and falls from ladders are one of the leading causes of occupational fatalities and injuries. Many ladders falls are preventable as the great majority of them are caused by improper use. A ladder is a simple tool and the number of ladder-related accidents could be significantly reduced if workers conscientiously followed the basics of ladder safety. To use ladders safely and effectively, one must know the rules of ladder safety and observe these rules at all times. Knowing how to properly and safely use ladders is of key importance in the workplace. Employers are required to train employees in the use of equipment such as ladders that have the potential to cause harm. However, it is the responsibility of the employee to retain and use this safety information. OSHA AND LADDER SAFETY The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is part of the US Department of Labor. OSHA establishes standards for workplace safety and establishes recommendations and requirements for the proper use of equipment. OSHA also requires employers to train employees in the proper and safe use of equipment. Regarding ladders, OSHA states that: “Employers must train all employees to recognize hazards related to ladders and stairways, and instruct them to minimize these hazards. Employers must retrain each cnaZone.com cnaZone.com cnaZone.com cnaZone.com cnaZone.com cnaZone.com 1 employee as necessary to maintain their understanding and knowledge on the safe use and construction of ladders and stairs.

  • Factsheet Series Is Funded in Part by a Grant from the USDA Forest Service
    CARING FOR NEW TREES Newly planted trees need care, especially in the first two to three years after planting Watering New trees need lots of water. Watering with a garden hose at low volume or utilizing a soaker hose is ideal since it allows water to slowly infiltrate the soil. Less frequent, but thorough watering is more beneficial to root development than frequent shallow watering. Tree roots need oxygen. Over-watering is just as problematic as under-watering. Test the soil moisture by using a trowel to dig two inches into the soil. Use your fingers to feel the soil in the small trench you created. If it is dry, it is time to water. You can use a hose at the base of the tree, with water on low or purchase watering bags that you fill for a slow soaking. It is hard to say exactly how much to water your tree, but 15 gallons once per week is a good starting place for trees that are approximately 1.5 Slow watering with a hose inches in caliper. If your tree is larger than that, or if the weather is hot and dry, increase the amount of water or water twice a week. Water your tree for the first two years after planting. Begin watering when the ground thaws and until the ground freezes. What about lawn sprinklers and rainfall? Lawn sprinklers do not provide the deep watering that trees need. Natural rainfall often isn’t enough. Tree Stabilization Tree stabilization may be necessary in windy areas or for trees without an adequate root system.

  • Safety Equipment & Protective Gear
    Safety Equipment & Protective Gear The Right Equipment Can Save Your Life! Properly protecting yourself from serious personal injuries This article is designed to inform every user of tools about the importance of using safety products for any project By Michael Panish, Construction Expert Witness As a construction expert witness, I am often asked about the importance of using safety equipment. I have many years of personal experiences with the proper observance of safety procedures and appropriate safety equipment requirements. In my professional life as a general building contractor, I have conducted regularly scheduled safety meetings, provided safety equipment to my employees, and trained my workmen on the proper ways to protect themselves while on the job. I have personally monitored my crews to verify that appropriate protective gear is worn and used at all times when needed. In my personal life, safety and appropriate protective equipment is equally as important. I own, maintain, and use just about every piece of job specific safety equipment that is available. It is my opinion that your home workshop, personal residence, and yard can become just as dangerous as a construction jobsite when work is being performed. Many homeowners think that work around the house is not the same as work on a construction jobsite. Do-it- yourself television programs make renovations seem simple and easy to accomplish. As a result of these numerous television shows, some homeowners attempt to tackle a renovation project completely unprepared, at least with regard to the usage of safety equipment. I have watched many television programs where the contractors, workmen, and homeowners operate noisy power tools without hearing protection.
