ToolBox Talks, on the job safety-Winterize Your Car

Driving in the winter means snow, sleet and ice that can lead to slower traffic, hazardous road conditions, hot tempers and unforeseen dangers. Weather At any temperature -- 20° Fahrenheit below zero or 90° Fahrenheit above -- weather affects road and driving conditions and can pose serious problems. It is important to monitor forecasts on the Web, radio, TV, cable weather channel, or in the daily papers. Necessary Equipment An emergency situation on the road can arise at any time and you must be prepared. In addition to making sure you have the tune-up, a full tank of gas, and fresh anti-freeze, you should carry the following items in your trunk: • Properly inflated spare tire, wheel wrench and tripod-type jack • Shovel • Jumper cables • Tow and tire chains • Bag of salt or cat litter • Tool kit Essential Supplies Be prepared with a "survival kit" that should always remain in the car. Replenish after use. Essential supplies include: • Working flashlight and extra batteries • Reflective triangles and brightly-colored cloth • Compass • First aid kit • Exterior windshield cleaner • Ice scraper and snow brush • Wooden stick matches in a waterproof container • Non-perishable, high-energy foods like unsalted canned nuts, dried fruits, and hard candy. In addition, if you are driving long distances under cold, snowy, and icy conditions, you should also carry supplies to keep you warm such as heavy woolen mittens, socks, a cap and blankets.

Tool Box Talks-Heating Devices

Tool Box Talks - Heating Devices
Temporary heating devices are essential equipment during the winter months of the year, when working on construction sites can get very uncomfortable and cold. You may use temporary heating devices like circulating and radiant room heaters, LP-Gas heaters, or other types of temporary heating devices to make the temperature more comfortable and acceptable to work in, making you more efficient and effective on the job site. However, the use of temporary heating devices comes with several hazards, including the hazards of fire, fumes from fuels, the consumption of oxygen, and burn/heat injury hazards.

On the Job Tool Box Safety Talks-Compressed Gas Cylinders – “In Storage”

• Gas cylinders must be secured at all times to prevent tipping.
• Use appropriate material, such as chain, plastic coated wire cable, commercial straps, etc., to secure cylinders.
• Cylinders must be segregated in hazard classes while in storage. Oxidizers (oxygen) must be separated from flammable gases, and empty cylinders must be isolated from filled cylinders.
• Store out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat and ignition; temperatures must not exceed 125 ºF. 
•  Acetylene cylinders must never be stored on their sides.
• Always place valve protectors on gas cylinders when the cylinders are not connected for use.
• Cylinders must be stored where they are protected from the ground to prevent rusting.
•  Storage areas must be well-ventilated, cool, dry, and free from corrosive materials
