Safety Specialist At Chevron Phillips Chemical Company Lp

My current place of work provides policies and procedures about the use of protective equipment and how/when you must use them as PPE is essential when working within hazardous activities such as disposing of hazardous waste, preparing/handling meals, cleaning etc.

There are many other jobs that need to ensure Health and Safety is important and some of these are: landlords, contractors, emergency services, trade union representatives and consultants. They have to make sure Health and Safety is an important role whilst doing their job as they don’t just have to think about themselves and the people who work for them, they also have to consider the people who are putting their trust in them to help them.

| Describe their responsibilities under current legislation and official guidance whilst working:–   in the workplace, in confined spaces, below ground level, at height, with tools and equipment, with materials and substances, with movement/storage of materials and by manual handling and mechanical lifting.

What are your responsibilities under current health and safety legislation, standards and guidance, eg the Health & Safety at Work Act (and any other relevant legislation).

I ensure staff are kept safe within their day to day work by ensuring that they work to Health and Safety Law and Legislation and that this is kept up to date. I ensure risk assessments are in place and reviewed regularly for any changes or updates. I ensure staff are all treated equally and are given the same choices.

To ensure you are safe and that the work environment is a safe place to work in and to inform contractors and operatives of any changes on site and also prevents accidents.

Employers have an obligation to provide safe working conditions. Workplace safety and risk management specialists from the HR area manage compliance with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations through maintaining accurate work logs and records, and developing programs that reduce the number of workplace injuries and fatalities. Workplace safety specialists also engage employees in promoting awareness and safe handling of dangerous equipment and hazardous chemicals.

1.2 Identify the lines of responsibility and reporting for health and safety in the work setting

Safety on the job should always be the main priority for this company, complying with laws regarding safety can save the company lots of money. Training our employee that safety is our top priority can be the difference between major success or failure. At Jones Feed and Seed we need to makes sure as we are hiring a supervisor that they are tediously trained all safety issues

The superintendent is often in the middle of most arguments that arise regarding materials that are approved and rejected. The superintendent’s role is not only to schedule the trades and inspections; they are responsible for setting the safety standards on the construction site. The superintendent and junior superintendent both enforce OSHA safety standards, many by example, via weekly safety meetings, and written warnings. When a superintendent does not follow the OSHA and companies’ safety rules, neither will the subcontractors on the project. For example, hard hats and steel toed shoes are standard safety requirements, when the superintendent does not wear his hard hat, no one else on the jobs site will believe it is required to wear their hard hats until the superintendents comply and enforce the rule. This is one way of leading by example and is a common practice in the construction industry and at Whiting-Turner.

Our employees have the benefit of a safety first oriented work environment and will not experience retaliation when bringing any safety concerns

Everyone in my company must comply with the health and safety procedure. We have to go on mandatory training to complete our health and safety certificate. This includes manual handling and fire safety. We must make sure our work environment is a safe as we can make it. If any accidents do occur i have to report them to my office or to the out of hours office, I must also record all accidents in the communication book so that other carers know what has happened this includes the nature of the accident, treatment received and where and when it happened. If any health and safety rules or procedures are breached then this may become a disciplinary for care staff. My line manager will always advise all care staff on and health and safety concerns that we may have.

Under the Health & Safety at work Act I have many responsibilities as an employee. These responsibilities must be obeyed in order to maintain a safe working area and minimize any potential hazards or risks to yourself or others. Some of my responsibilities as an employee are as followed:

Contractor Safety provided support during OSHA’s investigation of a contractor who fell from a scaffold inside the Unit 3 boiler at Comanche by ensuring the safety of the compliance officers while at the site and that proper protocols were followed. OSHA spent several days investigating the incident which included worker interviews, documenting incident scene, and air sampling.

According to a poll taken by Time Magazine (2016), construction workers have the twelfth uppermost dangerous jobs in America. (Johnson, 2016). Construction workers come to their job, with the assumption that they are safe and can perform their job with ease. They do not anticipate getting hurt on the job, but often are subject to injuries or even fatalities. The Occupational Safety and Health act states that employees have the right to a safe work environment, and must ensure that safety measures are provided for these employees. (OSHA.gov, 2016).
