SAFETY & HEALTH PROGRAM FOR
CAMPEON ROOFING & WATERPROOFING,
INC.
CAMPEON ROOFING &
WATERPROOFING, INC. realizes that safety and health is a vital part of all
of our operations and is an integral part of every employees’ daily duties.
Your personal safety and health, as well as that of your co-workers, is of
primary importance to us here at CAMPEON
ROOFING & WATERPROOFING, INC. and will take precedence over production
whenever necessary. For our program to
be THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY, you must view it as YOUR program.
Our objectives here at CAMPEON
ROOFING & WATERPROOFING, INC. will be to eliminate or minimize
exposures to conditions which may result in an injury and/or illness to you and
foster a cooperative effort to have the program grow. Your input to the program
will be vital to our combined efforts.
A good program must eliminate all ACCIDENTS. Keep in mind that "accidents" are defined as unplanned
occurrences. This means that, even if an injury/illness does not occur, we need
to know about it so that corrective action may take place. This will prevent
another "accident" which could result in an injury or illness.
Our program will, at a minimum, include:
> Providing mechanical and physical safeguards.
> Conducting pre-job audits to identify/eliminate conditions and
practices which could
cause injury or loss and
comply with all federal, state, and
local codes.
> Conducting follow-up audits.
> Providing training relative to your exposure(s).
> Developing, with your input, our own rules and policies.
> Providing personal as well as other protective equipment.
> Enforcing all safety policies as a condition of employment.
> Immediately investigating ALL ACCIDENTS.
> Providing work incentives for an EXCELLENT program.
> Expecting your input for better/safer ways to do the task.
> Planning our work to recognize/eliminate potential exposures.
> Providing for continuing updates.
We, here at CAMPEON ROOFING &
WATERPROOFING, INC., recognize that safety and health is EVERYBODY'S
business. Your safety and health is our future. You and your co-workers are our resources.
In the following pages you will find our overall program. Items which are specific to your worksite will be furnished to you both prior to commencing work and during changes.

ON SITE PROCEDURES
_____________________
GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PROGRAM
a. The program, which includes REQUIRED activities,
processes, and policies,
will be strictly adhered to as it is basic
and essential. While local conditions
may require certain variations, the
principles remain the same and are the
foundation of your program.
b. All contractors
are to agree to and follow the program.
WORKSITE CONTROLS
a. Audits of the
project operations and conditions existing will be on-going.
Any sources of accidents, injury, or
illness will be identified, corrected, and
reported as they occur.
b. Orderly and
clean housekeeping conditions are to be maintained at all times.
c. Audits for
compliance with federal, state, and local codes will be on-going
in order to minimize loss on site.
d. Weekly/daily
reports on findings will be prepared and corrective actions taken.
TRAILER/OFFICE AREA SETUP
a. The site
trailer/office is the hub of all activity. Whether it be OSHA, state, or other
officials, or visitors, they first go there. Although OSHA normally inspects
larger worksites, ONE complaint may
bring them to YOUR door. The information and materials to be there are, at a
minimum:
1. First aid
supplies
2. Potable water
with individual disposable cups
3. Steps to area
with standard handrails
4. Emergency fire
and medical information
5. Bulletin board
with safety information ( crane signals, rigging, hazardous
chemical classifications, etc. )
6. Bulletin board
for all job notices ( OSHA poster, Fair Labor standards, Ohio
Utilities Protection, etc. )
7. Fire
extinguisher of correct type for hazards
8. Records of
maintenance, accidents, injuries/illnesses
9. Records of
safety audits/meetings
10. Name and
location of nearest emergency squad
11. Hazard warning
signs prominently posted ( HARD HAT AREA, NO
TRESPASSING, NO SMOKING, HIGH VOLTAGE,
ETC. )
12. Hazard
Communication program and material safety data sheets ( MSDS )
13. Copy of codes:
OSHA, State, etc.
14. Documentation
on smaller employers being checked out for safety programs
If you are
inspected by OSHA or the State of Ohio, call the main office and notify them.
Be cordial, courteous, polite, and take notes of the tour. If, by policy, you
are to request that they wait for the safety director, do so and continue with
the opening conference.
MULTI-EMPLOYER ISSUES
a. OSHA
enforcement policies now address multi-employer sites. OSHA will look closely at the CONTROLLING
employer in order to eliminate workplace hazards. Citations will be issued to:
> The employer who actually creates
the hazard
> The employer responsible ( by
contract or practice )
> The employer responsible to correct
it
It is very important that you work closely with other contractors in
order to remove the hazards on site, whether or not you have exposed employees.
If we are aware of hazards, we must take steps to eliminate them. Although one party may have created the
hazard and/or failed to correct it, OSHA will cite all other parties working
around or near the hazard.
SUBCONTRACTOR ISSUES
a. Each contractor
on the project should be contractually obligated to comply with our program and
with federal, state, and local codes. They may have their own program, but it
must, at a minimum, be at least as effective as this program.
b. Each contractor
shall designate a "contact" person or competent supervisor to
coordinate and implement the program.
c. Records of
audits, accidents, injuries, and illnesses shall be available for review and
ALL serious injuries or fatalities shall be reported IMMEDIATELY.
d. Each contractor
is to participate in audits of the job as it relates to their work area and
cooperate fully during any investigations which take place. They are to make
personnel available for interviews and records for review.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTING
All accidents are to be investigated and reported to us. By definition,
accidents are UNPLANNED OCCURRENCES which could result in personal injury or
property loss. Ten major human factors involved are:
> NEGLIGENCE
> ANGER/TEMPER
> HASTY
DECISION
> NOT CARING
> DISTRACTION
> CURIOSITY
> INADEQUATE
TRAINING
> WORK HABIT
> OVER
CONFIDENCE
> NO PRE-PLANNING
If an accident occurs, the following steps should be taken.
a. Determine the
severity of the accident and investigate it .
b. If necessary, account
for all personnel.
c. Immediately
determine if there is injury/illness and call the emergency
squad.
If in doubt, CALL.
d. Report the
accident to the main office.
e. Secure the area
and take photos since things can change.
f. Hold equipment/property
for inspection.
g. Obtain names of
all involved parties and witnesses.

speculate/discuss accident with persons not involved.

accident investigation form and submit it to the main office.
