What do you know about Forklift Safety???
What should you do if you're driving a forklift and it starts to tip over? Is it safer to stay in the vehicle, or to jump out quickly?
If you said, "Jump out," you'd be dead wrong: a driver who did that would be putting his or her life in jeopardy. The safest way to survive a tip-over is to stay in the vehicle, seat belt always fastened, with a tight grip on the steering wheel and feet braced against the floor, leaning forward and away from the direction of the tip-over.
Because forklifts are everyday equipment in warehouses, factories and other businesses nationwide, many people may not realize they can be potentially dangerous. "Driving a forklift requires special skills and knowledge," said Benjamin Mangan, president and founder of MANCOMM, Davenport, Iowa. MANCOMM develops and provides Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance safety products and training for general industry and construction. "It scares me how little training some forklift operators receive. It's every company's responsibility to make sure their forklift operators are properly trained and certified before they ever get to run a forklift in the workplace."
The following accident examples from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reveal the three most common types of forklift injury: forklift overturns; workers struck, crushed or pinned by a forklift; and falls from a forklift.
Forklift Overturn: The president of a sign company was killed while using a forklift to unload steel tubing from a flatbed trailer. He turned the forklift behind the trailer, and the forklift began to tip over on its side. So he jumped from the operator's seat to the driveway. When the forklift overturned, his head and neck became pinned to the concrete driveway under the overhead guard. The forklift was not in proper working order and was not equipped with a seat belt.
Worker Struck by Forklift: A punch press operator at a computer components manufacturer was fatally injured while performing her usual duties. A forklift was traveling in reverse at high speed toward her work station. A witness observed the forklift strike a metal scrap bin, propelling it toward the punch press station. The bin hit the press and rebounded toward the forklift. There it was hit once again and shoved back against the corner of the press, striking and crushing the punch press operator.
Fall from Forklift: An electric-line technician was fatally injured after falling from and being run over by a forklift. While the operator was driving the forklift, the technician was riding on the forks. As the operator approached an intersection, he slowed down and turned his head to check for oncoming traffic. When he looked to the front again, he could not see the technician. He stopped the forklift, dismounted, and found the technician under the right side of the forklift.
A Forklift Safety Awareness Quiz
How familiar are you with forklifts and their safe operation? Take this quiz and find out. These questions are taken from the MANCOMM Forklift Video Series trainer's instruction manual:
1.) It is very easy to tip over on ramps and sloped surfaces whether the forklift is loaded or unloaded.
a.) True. b.) False.
2.) When driving on ramps with a grade of 10 percent or more with a loaded forklift, you must always keep the load uphill, even if it means driving in reverse down the ramp.
a.) True. b.) False.
3.) Because a forklift weighs more, it is much easier to brake to a stop than an automobile.
a.) True. b.) False.
4.) A forklift driver must always look:
a.) In the mirrors.
b.) Around his/her load.
c.) In the direction of travel.
d.) Forward.
5.) What should you do when you approach an intersection?
a.) Slow down and sound the horn.
b.) Check for hazards by leaning out of the cab.
c.) Turn slowly and smoothly.
d.) Get through as quickly as possible.
6.) To lift people using a forklift, the operator must:
a.) Lift people with bare forks.
b.) Use a pallet to provide a platform.
c.) Move a truck near a wall for fall protection.
d.) None of the above.
7.) When forward visibility is obstructed or blocked:
a.) Look around the load.
b.) Proceed forward slowly and with due caution.
c.) Drive in reverse.
d.) None of the above.
8.) Never enter a trailer or railroad car unless:
a.) The watchman is present.
b.) The forkliftís fuel tank and battery are fully charged.
c.) The trailer or railcar is locked in place with wheel chocks.
d.) There is a spotter inside the trailer or railroad car.
9.) A forklift operator's first concern should be:
a.) Increasing the speed of loading and unloading.
b.) Making sure the vehicle is in safe working condition.
c.) Checking shift changes for the load/unload schedule.
d.) Stabilizing the forks on all trucks used in a shift.
10.) Which of the following is a warning sign that the forklift may need to be taken out of service and repaired?
a.) Leaks for the fuel system.
b.) A brake pedal that feels spongy.
c.) Exhaust fumes that make you feel sick.
d.) All of the above.
How many wrong answers are permissible? In the workplace: zero. Whenever forklift drivers perform their duties incorrectly, such incidents open the door to accidents, injuries or death, which in turn can lead to workers' compensation expenses, lost productivity, raised insurance premiums, lowered employee morale, and penalties from OSHA. "When every forklift operator at your company has passed a training and certification program that observes OSHA regulations," said Mangan, "you've taken a major step toward fostering a safer workplace."

Basic First Aid
Basic First Aid
First aid experts stress that knowing what to do for an injured person until a doctor or trained person gets to an accident scene can save a life, especially in cases of stoppage of breath, severe bleeding, and shock.
People with special medical problems, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, or allergy, are also urged to wear some sort of emblem identifying it, as a safeguard against use of medication that might be injurious or fatal in an emergency.
Most accidents occur in homes. Figures show that home accidents exceed those in other locations, such as in cars, at work, or in public places.
In all cases, get medical assistance as soon as possible. ----
-Animal bite ---> Wound should be washed with soap under running water and animal should be caught alive for rabies test.
-Asphyxiation----> Start mouth-to-mouth resuscitation immediately after getting patient to fresh air.
-Bleeding Elevate----> the wound above the heart if possible. Press hard on wound with sterile compress until bleeding stops. Send for doctor if it is severe.
-Burn-----> If mild, with skin unbroken and no blisters, plunge into ice water until pain subsides. Apply a dry dressing if necessary. Send for physician if burn is severe. Apply sterile compresses and keep patient quiet and comfortably warm until doctor's arrival. Do not try to clean burn, or to break blisters.
-Chemical in eye---> With patient lying down, pour cupsful of water immediately into corner of eye, letting it run to other side to remove chemicals thoroughly. Cover with sterile compress. Get medical attention immediately.
-Choking---> Do not use back slaps to dislodge obstruction.
-Convulsions---> Place person on back on bed or rug. Loosen clothing. Turn head to side. Do not place a blunt object between the victim's teeth. If convulsions do not stop, get medical attention immediately.
-Cut (minor)--> Apply mild antiseptic and sterile compress after washing with soap under warm running water.
-Drowning (See Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation)---> Artificial breathing must be started at once, before victim is out of the water, if possible. If the victim's stomach is bloated with water, put victim on stomach, place hands under stomach, and lift. If no pulse is felt, begin cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. This should only be done by those professionally trained. If necessary, treat for shock.
-Electric shock---> If possible, turn off power. Don't touch victim until contact is broken; pull him from contact with electrical source using rope, wooden pole, or loop of dry cloth. Start mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if breathing has stopped.
-Foreign body in eye---> Touch object with moistened corner of handkerchief if it can be seen. If it cannot be seen or does not come out after a few attempts, take patient to doctor. Do not rub eye.
-Fainting--> If victim feels faint, lower head to knees. Lay him down with head turned to side if he becomes unconscious. Loosen clothing and open windows. Keep patient lying quietly for at least 15 minutes after he regains consciousness. Call doctor if faint lasts for more than a few minutes.
-Fall---> Send for physician if patient has continued pain. Cover wound with sterile dressing and stop any severe bleeding. Do not move patient unless absolutely necessary — as in case of fire — if broken bone is suspected. Keep patient warm and comfortable.
-Loss of Limb---> If a limb is severed, it is important to properly protect the limb so that it can possibly be reattached to the victim. After the victim is cared for, the limb should be placed in a clean plastic bag, garbage can, or other suitable container. Pack ice around the limb on the OUTSIDE of the bag to keep the limb cold. Call ahead to the hospital to alert them of the situation.
-Poisoning--> Call doctor. Use antidote listed on label if container is found. Call local Poison Control Center if possible. Except for lye, other caustics, and petroleum products, induce vomiting unless victim is unconscious. Give milk if poison or antidote is unknown.
-Shock (injury-related)---> Keep the victim lying down; if uncertain as to his injuries, keep him flat on his back. Maintain the victim's normal body temperature; if the weather is cold or damp, place blankets or extra clothing over and under the victim; if weather is hot, provide shade.
-Snakebite----> Immediately get victim to a hospital. If there is mild swelling or pain, apply a constricting band 2 to 4 inches above the bite.
-Sting from insect----> If possible, remove stinger and apply solution of ammonia and water, or paste of baking soda. Call physician immediately if body swells or patient collapses.
-Unconsciousness---> Send for doctor and place person on his back. Start resuscitation if he stops breathing. Never give food or liquids to an unconscious person.

Stressors At Work
by Bee Epstein, Career Specialist
Stress is a condition of modern life. Even if you live a healthy lifestyle and can deal with most stressful job situations, you will still have periods of frustration and stress. Listed below are specific workday situations that are among the top causes of stress for men and women.
Too Much to Do and Not Enough Time: Very few people spend enough time planning and scheduling. Proper planning eliminates many time wasters. Planning projects, scheduling your week and detailed planning of each day will give you control of your time at work. Another excellent technique is to make a list of all your projects and tasks and ask your supervisor to help you plan and set priorities. Often supervisors are unaware of how much you have to do.
Deadlines: Once again, planning and scheduling will help you track your work flow. When you have a long-range overview written down in a planner or calendar, you can schedule your work at a comfortable pace and thus avoid surprise deadlines. When you have last minute requests with deadlines from your boss, let her know what is already on your agenda and ask her to help you rearrange your schedule. Let your boss have ultimate responsibility for setting priorities and seeing that deadlines are met.
Interpersonal Conflicts: Conflicts arise out of differences in opinions, needs, values and expectations. Stress occurs because each person involved in the conflict wants things her way, and someone wants to keep her from getting what she wants. We usually think that if one person wins an argument, the other loses. This does not have to be the case. You can reduce the stress of conflict by looking for areas of agreement first. Focus on the task to be accomplished rather than the egos involved. Remember you want to solve a problem. It's not necessary to prove someone else wrong to do this.
Too Much Responsibility Without Authority: It is a good idea to ask for enough authority to carry out your responsibilities in a professional way. When you cannot get that authority, document what you have accomplished and send that memo to your boss. Your memo should include what you need to complete the project. This way you have covered yourself and have let your boss know that you require authority to match your responsibilities.
Speak Before a Group or Being in the Spotlight: Part of this stressor is fear of making a public mistake and looking foolish. Complete knowledge of your subject matter will give you some confidence. To hone your presentation skills, enroll in a good course on public speaking. That will give you more confidence. Practice speaking before non-threatening groups to reduce your stress.
Wage Inequality and Discrimination: Know your rights under the law. Some of the most stressful discrimination exists in subtle ways and can't be quantified. Know your worth and your rights. Ask for the treatment and the money you deserve, but don't be too sensitive and don't overdo it.
When you need to overcome stress, try the following after work:
· Surround yourself with people who nourish you, especially those with empathy and a sense of humor.
· Put plants or flowers on your desk. Plants are wonderful, but fresh flowers are special.
· Make a list of good things in your life.
· Read something inspirational.
· Go for prayers or meditate.
· Have a non-business lunch with a friend.
· Have refreshments in an outdoor café.
· Sit by the window.
· Go to the park.
· Go to a movie or concert.
· Buy yourself a gift or reward, and tell yourself you deserve it.
· Pamper yourself with a beauty salon, have a hairdo, facial, manicure etc.
· Watch a baby play.
An attitude of gratefulness and goodwill toward others eliminates hostility, resentment, jealousy, anger, depression and many of the other negative feelings that influence the behaviour of a person under stress. Peace of mind comes from being at peace with others and the environment.
