Unit 7 Lab 1 New Building Safety Plan

In my safety plan the first things that I’m going to cover are the PPE for working on a construction site where a new building is being placed. First you’re going to need a hard hat so that when anything falls from above, it keeps your brains where they belong like in your head. Second steel toed shoes or boots, preferably boot for a little extra ankle support. But the steel toes to protect your feet from anything being dropped or lowered in case your foot gets in the way. Safety goggles, pretty self-explanatory on this one, just need to keep things out of your eyes! Long pants (blue jeans) protect your legs from different object that could hurt your skin but with pants on you might just get a bruise. Next on the list gloves are always a good idea to wear so that you don’t rip your hands up while you’re working! A water cooler is a must in this situation because it’s going to be hot out and hydration is key to survival! There will also be no running on the job site. Hurry to quickly can cause more accidents than any amount of production you’re getting for running that thirty foot. Only work on the parts of the job that you know, if someone ask for help go ahead and give them a hand but if you’re a plumber then just let the electrician handle his own job. Back to PPE for a sec a back brace would be a good idea to wear also. Once you have a back injury it will be a problem for the rest of your life in most cases. In case of an emergency call 911 immediately, have someone notify the foreman and try to assist if you have any sort of training in first aid. If there is a fire move to the designated area away from all the equipment and other building, again call 911 and wait for help to arrive!
If this where a regulated paper then I would include all of the state and government laws and regulations that apply to this job description. You can purchase them from OSHA and get copies of the other laws and guide lines from the city office related to public safety.
