Title: Industrial Safety Supplies and the OSHA 300 Log
1INDUSTRIAL SAFETY SUPPLIES AND THE OSHA 300 LOG
2Industrial Safety Supplies
- Safety leaders are a step closer to identifying
the correct Industrial Safety Supplies that are
needed to provide the correct PPE protection to
employees at your facility. What's next? - Well, before spending a penny on industrial
safety supplies we need to take a few more steps
to identify what the correct solution is. - If you have completed an "initial safety walk
through" , then a good next step is to find the
OSHA 300 Injury Log.OSHA 300 Injury Log.
3OSHA 300 LOG ANALYSIS
- The OSHA 300 is a required document that is to be
maintained by employers as required by OSHA
regulation 29 CFR 1904. Employers are required to
prepare and maintain a record of serious
occupational injuries and illnesses and note them
appropriately on the Facility OSHA 300 log in a
timely manner.
4OSHA 300 LOG COLUMN B
- Begin with Column B, Job Title. Ok, what are the
Job titles of the employees that have sustained a
Reportable Job Injury? A few minutes of review
you and you may notice that there is a
predominant amount of injuries happening with one
Job Title, may be two. If you facility has 3 of
the personnel working in the Receiving
Department, yet the Receiving Department has 25
of the Injuries,you have to ask yourself what's
going on here? A Bit of focused effort in the
right areas may results in huge injury prevention
reductions.
5IDENTIFYING INJURY TRENDS
- If you do see work area trends, this does not
mean the employees are more careless in these
work areas, but maybe it does. More investigation
is needed. Perhaps the supervisor does not make
workplace safety a priority and ensure that all
employees are wearing the appropriate Industrial
safety supplies that they are supposed to be
while on duty.
6OSHA 300 LOG COLUMN D
- Move on to Column D of the OSHA 300 log, the Date
of the Injury. Again, breaking down workplace
injuries further and working towards injury
prevention, let's take a look at Column D to see
what we can find out with a bit of a fact finding
mission. What is the Date of the Injury, and what
is the Day of the week of the Injury. Then with a
quick review of a Calendar, Safety Managers can
plot what days of the week have a Higher injury
occurrence.
7OSHA 300 LOG COLUMN E
- Column E of the OSHA 300 log, where did the event
occur? This is important, really important. In
injury analysis in the workplace the first
priority is to always get the person the
appropriate medical treatment. Get that handled
first, but then it's time for some investigation
and fact finding to prevent future injuries. The
first step if the person is able, is let's return
to the accident scene. What happened. A bit of
"Joe Friday" action here, "just the facts Ma'am."
8OSHA 300 LOG COLUMN F
- Next Column, Row F on the OSHA 300 log. Describe
the Injury or illness or Parts of the Body
affected. Obviously, there is room for only three
to four words on the OSHA 300 log. But a review
if completed properly can give the Big Picture
Reviewer of what happened when the injury took
place.When you add up the cost for one injury
which OSHA stats reports is approaching 20,000
for any injury, how much did you really save by
not providing the proper hand protection? - There are no short cuts in anything.
9INDUSTRIAL SAFETY SUPPLIES, THE IMPACT OF OSHA
300 LOG
- Industrial safety supplies and having the right
product for the job or task will always be one
piece of the plan, but not the entire solution
for In an injury prevention plan.Safety Managers
must look at the injuries on the OSHA 300 Log and
analyze what products are needed to prevent
injuries. It 's possible that your employees are
using a plain cotton glove because you are
attempting to keep costs in line. -
