To provide high quality, accessible safety and process education to Haskell employees and our sub-contractors; to promote individual development and improve the overall safety of the crafts persons on our projects. Employees who are educated in the basic process of the facilities we work in can be extra eyes and ears for our customers.
Learning the functions of some of high risk operations on our projects such as Crane Rigging and Signaling, will give our projects more people looking out for potential unsafe conditions or unsafe acts.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to inform employees upon their first entering into employment, and at least annually thereafter, of:
Aerial lifts have replaced ladders and scaffolding on many job sites due to their mobility and flexibility. They may be made of metal, fiberglass reinforced plastic, or other materials. They may be powered or manually operated, and are considered to be aerial lifts whether or not they can rotate around a primarily vertical axis. Many workers are injured or killed on aerial lifts each year.
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide builds up in your bloodstream. When too much carbon monoxide is in the air, your body replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to serious tissue damage, or even death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gasoline, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Improperly ventilated appliances and engines, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate to dangerous levels.
If you think you or someone you're with may have carbon monoxide poisoning, get into fresh air and seek emergency medical care.
This Forklift Operator Training program, while designed for the construction industry, is based on OHSA's 29CFR 1910.178 found in the general industry regulations. OSHA references this standard for Powered Industrial Trucks in the 29CFR 1926 construction industry regulations. During the training video you will see information on certain forklifts which are used in construction, warehouse and manufacturing settings. This is necessary to cover the standard appropriately.
This is required training for all new employees working at the Haskell Bellingham facility fabrication shops.
This is the basic safety training for Managers at Haskell Corporation. Haskell Managers are often in the field at construction sites and can encounter the same hazards as those directly engaged in project work tasks. The lessons included in the Haskell Manager Safety course provide the basics for awareness level training.
It is important that everyone understand what a SWPPP is. Everyone's understanding is vital to staying in compliance with our storm-water permit. We discuss what it stands for, what it is, and why our facility needs one.
A healthy body temperature is maintained by the nervous system. As the body temperature increases, the body tries to maintain its normal temperature by transferring heat. Sweating and blood flow to the skin (thermoregulation) help us keep our bodies cool. A heat-related illness occurs when our bodies can no longer transfer enough heat to keep us cool.
The basics of line breaking.
This course covers lockout tagout procedures and safety rules for operating and working around the Peddinghaus Avenger machine in the Haskell Corporation structural fabrication shop.
This is a historic video produced in the 1950's by Shell Oil that clearly and simply explains how crude oil is transformed in the refining process. Keep in mind that oil refineries use many and varied process today that aren't covered in this video. This course is designed to give construction workers a basic understanding of the complex facilities they often work in. It will hopefully help you to recognize potential upsets in the processes and give you a tool in helping to keep them safe.
