9 OSHA seeks comments on its Training Institute Education Centers Program WASHINGTON The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will host a Web forum Oct. 3-31, 2011, to solicit stakeholder input on how to enhance occupational safety and health training offered to private sector workers, supervisors, and employers through the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers Program. Input may include topics such as adding training sites, instituting a nationwide certificate and degree program, adding courses, or other services. Individuals can provide input by visiting l. 9
10 New educational materials on working safely during trenching operations The new information products, which are available on OSHA's Publications page, include: "Trenching and Excavation" fact sheet* an overview of the hazards that can occur while performing trenching operations and the safety measures required to protect workers; "Working Safely in Trenches" QuickCard* an easy-to-use guide to trenching hazards and safety measures with graphics; and "Do Not Enter an Unprotected Trench!" poster* a resource for construction workplaces informing workers what steps must be taken to ensure trench safety, along with the warning "An Unprotected Trench is an Early Grave." 10
11 New guidance document helps construction employers and workers prevent nail gun injuries WASHINGTON OSHA and NIOSH have developed new guidance, Nail Gun Safety A Guide for Construction Contractors*, to help construction employers and workers prevent work-related nail gun injuries. "Nail gun injuries are responsible for approximately 37,000 emergency room visits annually. In some cases, workers have died from their injuries," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "This document will help construction employers make necessary changes to improve nail gun safety and protect their workers from preventable injuries and death." 11

18 Ladders OSHA Office of Training & Education 18
19 Hazards Ladders cause many injuries and fatalities among construction workers About half the injuries caused by slips, trips and falls from ladders and stairways require time off the job Improper use of the top rung of a step ladder OSHA Office of Training & Education 19 19
20 Stairway or Ladder There must be a stairway or ladder at points of access where there is an elevation break of 19 inches or more. At least one point of access must be kept clear. Break in elevation 19 inches 20 OSHA Office of Training & Education 20
21 Ladders OSHA Office of Training & Education 21 21
22 Types and Ratings Type IA These ladders have a duty rating of 300 pounds. Type IA ladders are recommended for extra-heavy-duty industrial use. Type I These ladders have a duty rating of 250 pounds. Type I ladders are manufactured for heavy-duty use. Type II These ladders have a duty rating of 225 pounds. Type II ladders are approved for medium-duty use. Type III These ladders have a duty rating of 200 pounds. Type III ladders are rated for lightduty use. 22
23 Ladders Type IA and Type I ladders are the only acceptable ladders on a construction jobsite. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) requires that a duty rating sticker be placed on the side of every ladder so users can determine if they have the correct type ladder for each task/job. Be sure that metal steps and rungs are grooved or roughened to prevent slipping. 23
24 Ladders Use the proper size ladder for the job. The average worker will generally be most comfortable at shoulder level, which is about 5 feet above where they stand. Since the worker must stand at least 2 feet down from the top of a ladder, the maximum working height would be about 3 feet above the top of the ladder or 5 feet minus 2 feet. For example, a 5-foot stepladder would give an effective working height of 8 feet or 5 feet plus 3 feet. When using straight or extension ladders, the worker stands 3 feet down from the top, which gives an effective working height of 2 feet above the ladder top. 24
25 General Ladder Requirements Ladders must be kept in a safe condition -- DO Keep the area around the top and bottom of a ladder clear Ensure rungs, cleats, and steps are level and uniformly spaced Ensure rungs are spaced 10 to 14 inches apart Keep ladders free from slipping hazards OSHA Office of Training & Education 25 25
26 General Ladder Requirements Use ladders only for their designed purpose -- DON T Tie ladders together to make longer sections, unless designed for such use Use single rail ladders Load ladders beyond the maximum load for which they were built, nor beyond the manufacturer s rated capacity OSHA Office of Training & Education 26 26
27 OSHA Office of Training & Education 27 27

30 OSHA Office of Training & Education 30 30
31 Securing Ladders Secure ladders to prevent accidental movement due to workplace activity This ladder is not on a stable surface Only use ladders on stable and level surfaces, unless secured Do not use ladders on slippery surfaces unless secured or provided with slip-resistant feet OSHA Office of Training & Education 31 31
32 Portable Ladders Inspect before use for cracks, dents, and missing rungs Design or treat rungs to minimize slipping Side rails -- at least 11 1/2 inches apart Must support 4 times the maximum load Note: This employee SHOULD be wearing fall protection based on OSHA fall Office exposure of Training & Education to inside the building
33 Double - Cleated Ladder Use a double-cleated ladder ( with center rail) or 2 or more ladders: when ladders are the only way to enter or exit a working area with 25 or more employees when a ladder will serve simultaneous two-way traffic OSHA Office of Training & Education 33 33
34 This is the incorrect way to use extension ladders. Three ladders tied together creating unsafe condition 34
35 OSHA Office of Training & Education 35 35
36 Painting Wood Ladders Don t paint ladders Don t use an opaque covering (like varnish) on a wood ladder OSHA Office of Training & Education 36 36
37 Ladder Angle Non-self-supporting ladders: (which lean against a wall or other support) Position at an angle where the horizontal distance from the top support to the foot of the ladder is 1/4 the working length of the ladder OSHA Office of Training & Education 37 37
38 Ladders used to gain access to a roof or other area must extend at least 3 feet above the point of support 38 38
39 Tops of the ordinary types of stepladders shall not be used as steps Stepladders are not to be used as an access way to another level
40 Too steep and blocked 40 40
41 OSHA Office of Training & Education 41 41
42 Ladder Rail Extension When using a portable ladder for access to an upper landing surface, the side rails must extend at least 3 feet above the upper landing surface OSHA Office of Training & Education 42 42
43 Near Energized Electrical Equipment If using ladders where the employee or the ladder could contact exposed energized electrical equipment, they must have nonconductive siderails such as wood or fiberglass. This is an unsafe condition OSHA Office of Training & Education 43 43
44 Top Step Do not use the top or top step of a stepladder as a step OSHA Office of Training & Education 44 44
45 Crossbracing Don t use crossbracing on the rear of a stepladder for climbing - unless the ladder is designed for that On this ladder the back rungs are designed for use OSHA Office of Training & Education 45 45
46 Damaged or Defective A competent person must inspect ladders for visible defects, like broken or missing rungs Missing rung If a defective ladder is found, immediately mark it defective or tag it "Do Not Use Withdraw defective ladders from service until repaired OSHA Office of Training & Education 46 46
47 Climbing the Ladder Face the ladder when going up or down Use at least one hand to grab the ladder when going up or down Do not carry any object or load that could cause you to lose balance OSHA Office of Training & Education 47 47
48 Training A competent person must train each employee in the following areas, as applicable: The nature of fall hazards in the work area The correct procedures for erecting, maintaining, and disassembling the fall protection systems to be used The proper construction, use, placement, and care in handling of all stairways and ladders The maximum intended load-carrying capacities of ladders OSHA Office of Training & Education 48 48
49 Summary A competent person must inspect Use the correct ladder for the job Use the correct angle, supports, treads, cross braces and rails Don t overload Your employer must train you in proper use of a ladder OSHA Office of Training & Education 49 49
