HFHI Expectations

• We expect everyone to go home at the end of each day.

OSHA

• Occupational Safety & Health Admin. Formed in 1970.

• Code of Federal Regulations Known as CFR. • CFR 1910 for ReStore.

OSHA 10 Hour Training

• This is the bare minimum in getting started with your HFH safety program.

• It will be offered around the country at various locations or can be offered near your location with enough participants.

• At your request, specialized training can be tailored to meet your needs.

Legally Speaking

• You are required to provide a safe & healthful place of employment for your employees.

• You are required to keep an OSHA 300 Log if you have 11 employees or greater.

• You are required to report a death of an employee to the nearest OSHA office within 8 hours.

• If you have an event that hospitalizes 3 or more employees for overnight stay, you must call your local OSHA office.

• You must meet or exceed your OSHA requirements; remember 27 states have their own OSHA and therefore exceed Federal rules.

• See: www.OSHA.gov to determine if your state is one of the 27 states.

Key Elements of a Safety Program;“But Not a Complete List”

• Hazardous Communications Program.• Create & maintain a listing of all Chemicals that are

available for use on all work sites.• Train workers of hazards & how to eliminate the hazards

associated with these chemicals. • Properly document this training and keep for 30 + years.

• You will see;

• Under the “Knowledge Center” a sub-tab for Construction.

• Under the “Knowledge Center” a sub-tab for ReStore.

• Soon you will see under both sub-tabs;

• A “Safety” sub-tab.

From the Safety sub-tab you will be able to find any and all of your safety information including training links, PPTS, pre-recorded Webinars, Podcast, Policies, Manuals, OSHA Standards, etc.

Our Moral Obligation• “Legally” we are responsible by OSHA to

provide a safe workplace for our Employees.• “Morally” we are responsible by OSHA,

Court of Law, Family Members, Jury, to provide a safe workplace for our Volunteers.

• Some Affiliates ask “are we legally responsible for our volunteers?” “Does OSHA apply to us?”

Why?They don’t get it?

Web Links for Safetyhttp://osha.gov/doc/jobsite/index.html This link will take you to OSHA’s website and show you a partnership created “Jobsite Safety Handbook”, it’s not bad but I feel it is missing a point or two. Until I have the time to create a better version, I would suggest downloading and keeping a copy for use. http://www.elcosh.org/en/document/495/d000486/built-construction-workers-guide.html This link takes you to some great information, and it’s actually in the form of a book. Just click the topic and it will take you to where you need to go. http://osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.athruz?pType=Types&pID=6 From OSHA’s website, these “quick cards” are alphabetically in order by topic, so search and locate your topic of choice for quick notes on the subject. Just remember, these are not to be used as the gospel word in training, but instead as main points to review. http://osha.gov/pls/publications/publication.AthruZ?pType=Industry Here is another version of OSHA’s “quick cards” but it is offered in the area of “Industry”. I actually like this link over the previous link. This link seems to have been detailed information that can be used as mini training classes. For example, you mentioned heat stroke, and this link has that topic but the above link does not.

Web Links for Safetyhttp://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/safetyhealth/index.html This tool is also from OSHA. This is a great tool for anyone that is an E. D. who wants to be informed of “what really needs to be taking place” regarding safety. However, the best usage of this tool is for the upcoming “safety manager” of your operations. This is good stuff! But it’s also not for the short reader, due to its intensiveness of information. http://www.toolboxtopics.com/Construction/index.htm If you need “Tool Box Safety Talks” then check out this site. It’s in Spanish & English covering Construction and General Industry (your office and restores). On the home page you will see a small red tool box in the lower left corner, click on it and it will open into other safety items for your review. http://www.osha.gov/doc/outreachtraining/htmlfiles/osha2254.html Here is another OSHA link for the E. D. and Safety Person. OSHA requires training before the worker is allowed to begin work activity. This spells out all of the areas which require training! http://osha.gov/SLTC/etools/evacuation/experts.html All businesses are required to develop their own specific Emergence Action Plan (EAP). This can be a bit tough if you’ve never done it before. This is an OSHA eTool that does if for you when answering a few questions.

Web Links for Safety PPTShttp://www.labsafety.com/refinfo/ezfacts/default.htm On this link just scroll down and find the topic you want and click it. http://osha.gov/doc/jobsite/index.html This is from OSHA’s website. It’s a booklet that was put together during a partnership agreement. It’s not bad and it can be broken down into training segments by topics. http://www.freeoshainfo.com/ppt.html Just another source that provides free ppt training. This site also has other materials available so check out the freeoshainfo.com site too. http://www.oshainfo.gatech.edu/powerpoint.html From Georgia Tech, this is a line-up of ppt programs that’s available to me as an outreach training for OSHA. http://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/osha/educate/training/pages/materials.html This might be from the state of Origin, but it’s still safety! Scroll down through the long list and you will see fairly intensive training programs that include instructors guides too. Many topic will be valuable to you as well, so do take the time to look at each one.

Web Links for Safety PPTShttp://www.toolboxtopics.com/Beyond%20Safety%20Meetings/Power%20Points/Power%20Points.htm Many ppt programs to review on this site. I will also send other information from this site too but listed below. http://www.toolboxtopics.com/Beyond%20Safety%20Meetings/Photo%20contents.htm Same site as above but with pictures and most are just stupid but funny, some are graphic too. http://www.toolboxtopics.com/Construction/index.htm One more time with the site above. This has “tool box safety talks” in English and Spanish. http://www.osha.gov/doc/outreachtraining/htmlfiles/osha2254.html Directly from OSHA, this information will show you what training is required. http://osha.gov/dsg/topics/safetyhealth/index.html Not sure, but I thought I would include it. Maybe you could break it into sections for training topics. http://hfhaffiliateinsurance.com/Login.asp Saving the best for last! Lockton Risk Services is our insurance agency which has put together a great training opportunity for all of our affiliates and volunteers alike. Click the link and use the Password LOCKTON to enter into the members window. Once inside scroll down to the training sections and follow the link information. This training is automatically tracked to your affiliate for recordkeeping. It will also provide you with how many of your volunteer and employees have taken the free online training.
