SAFETY DATA ACQUISITION/ANALYSIS

DESCRIPTION OF ELEMENT

Understanding safety data is an important step toward allocating important (and often scarce)resources to implement safety program elements. Safety data relative to transit provideroperations can be used to determine safety trends in system operation. The data include

information gathered from within the system on safety-related events such as passenger injuriesor claims, employee injuries, accidents, incidents, and preventability. Driver reports (sometimescalled logs) can be an important source of safety problems, such as dangerous stop locations, problems with vehicle equipment, safety problems with the route, and other issues. The data isuseful in a formal hazard identification and resolution process to help identify hazards beforethey cause accidents. The data may also help improve system performance, not only in respectto safety, but also in overall delivery of service to the riding public. In addition, trend analysesof safety data can help determine the effectiveness of safety initiatives that have beenimplemented.

A. One of the most important services the safety unit provides for the transit organization isthe collection, maintenance, and distribution of safety data relative to system operation.

Includes information gathered from within the system on various operating eventsrelative to safety.

B. Analysis of this system specific data can be used to determine trends and patterns insystem operation.

C. Used as part of the Hazard Resolution Process, data collection and analysis can be used toidentify hazards before they cause accidents.

This is done by techniques such as trend analysis and thus become a vital componentof efforts to improve system performance, not only in respect to safety but also inoverall delivery of service to the riding public.

D. The responsibilities for providing, receiving, processing and analyzing data should be

listed here and can be general or specific, based on the needs of the transit system.

SAFETY PLAN PURPOSE

A System Safety Plan has many beneficial purposes for your employees and passengers. A plan provides:

A documented approach to accomplishing a system safety program.

A means of providing safety policies and procedures to drivers, vehicle maintenance,office and facility personnel.

A way to reduce accidents and injuries through preventative measures.

SAFETY OBJECTIVES

In the transit environment, when properly applied, system safety:

1. Ensures safety is addressed during system planning, design and construction

2. Provide analysis tools and methodologies to promote safe system operation through theidentification of safety hazards and the implementation of technology, procedures, training,

and safety devices to resolve these hazards

TRANSIT SYSTEM SAFETY PHILOSOPHY NCDOT Safety Philosophy Statements

Supervisors of each department are charged with the responsibilities of quality and quantity of production within the department, and therefore are responsible for the work conduct of same.

Supervisors should be afforded the necessary tools and knowledge to carry out their duties with

efficiency and safety.

Supervisors should:

Have a thorough knowledge of System Safety Policy.

Provide instruction and training to workers so that they conduct their job in a safe manner.

[(See section on Training New Employees)]

Make daily inspections of the department to ensure that no unsafe conditions or unsafe practices exist.

Initiate immediate corrective action where unsafe conditions or practices are found. When acapital expenditure is required to make necessary corrections, a written report shall besubmitted to the Agency Administrator/County Manager and the Safety Coordinator.

Properly complete accident reports and investigate all accidents to determine what must bedone to prevent recurrence of a similar accident.

Be familiar with procedures that must be followed in case of an emergency.

Enforce safety rules and regulations of the organization.

Set a good example for safety by working in a safe manner and encouraging others to do so.

Employees

To assist the employee in developing keen “safety awareness” the following responsibilities are

assigned: To abide by the safety rules and regulations of the organization.

8/38

R ELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYSTEM SAFETY AND SYSTEM OPERATIONS

Management of Unsafe Conditions

Eliminate hazards by removing the machines, tool, method, material, or structure that iscausing the hazard through appropriate means. Contacting officials of OSHA, or EPA,may be necessary for proper disposal.

Control the hazard by enclosing or guarding the point of hazard at the source.

Train personnel on steps to take when confronted by a hazardous condition and provide procedures to safely avoid the hazard.

Provide and ensure the use of personal protective equipment to shield employees fromthe hazard.

At no time should protective devices or safety practices be set aside to get the job done faster andcheaper. The price paid for such indiscretion may greatly exceed the anticipated gain from theaction.

Designated Safety Official – Ryan Dunn, Transit Operations Supervisor

The Transit Operations Supervisor is the individual who is directly responsible for implementingthe System Safety Program. It is the basic responsibility of the supervisor to plan and conductsafe operations. It is also the duty and responsibility of each supervisor to fully orient andinstruct all employees in safe practices and procedures. He or she is expected to be a memberof the safety and Accident Review Committee and be in charge of collecting and disseminatingsafety data. The supervisor or Lead Safety Officer is specifically charged with the followingresponsibilities for the System Safety Program:

Have full knowledge of all standard and emergency operating procedures;

Perform safety audits of operations;

Ensure that employees make safety a primary concern when on the job; Actively investigate all incidents and accidents;

Prohibit unsafe conduct and conditions;

Conduct safety meetings which are a vital part of safety atmosphere;

Listen and act upon any safety concerns raised by employees; and

Report to management any safety concerns or possible hazards.

EmployeesIt is the responsibility of each employee of the Transit System to abide by all rules andregulations and to comply with all laws pertaining to safety and health in the workplace. It is

the responsibility of each supervisor of the Transit System to provide explicit instructionaland procedural safety training for each employee. Safety becomes a shared responsibility between management and the employee, and working safely is a condition of employment.

Employees are required to identify, report and correct unsafe conduct and conditions. Under(OSHA) 29 CFR part 1910; employees have the right to report any unsafe working conditionswithout being subjected to any retaliation whatsoever. Each employee must be an integral partof the SYSTEM SAFETY PROGRAM.


9/38

All transit employees are required to attend safety meetings. Safety meetings involve employeesin the Safety Program and are very useful ways of training employees. Safety meetings andcommittees are used to present information, discuss problems and new ideas and discuss recentaccidents and injuries. Safety meetings and commitment shall include, but shall not be limitedto, the following:

1. Wearing the prescribed uniform as required.

2. Reporting promptly and in writing, to your supervisor, all injuries and illnesses associatedwith the jobs.

3. Reporting, no matter how slight, all fires, accidental damage to property, hazardousmaterial spills and other emergency occurrences to your supervisor.

4. Disposing of all hazardous materials in an acceptable and lawful manner.

5. Working under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs is specifically forbidden. Use of prescription drugs, which may affect your alertness or work abilities, shall be reported to

your supervisor (49 CFR parts 40, 653, and 654).

6. Taking care not to abuse tools and equipment, so these items will be in usable conditionfor as long as possible, as well as ensure they are in the best possible condition while being used.


10/38

COMPUTER DATA ENTRY SAFETY PROCEDURES

The following actions can help to reduce muscle fatigue and tension while enabling maximum performance:

Adjust seat height and backrest angle to fit the user in a seated position. Adjust footrest for

proper height and angle. Screens should have adjustable height and tilt; screens should be arranged so that they are

never higher than eye level for the users.

Position documents roughly perpendicular to the line of sight using a document holder.

Adjust keyboard to fit the operator. Keyboards should be detached in order to allow for positioning.

Always use anti-glare screens.

Users should maintain correct hand and wrist posture when entering data. Repetitive motionillness develops over an extended period of time. Learn work habits that reduce risks and be

aware of early symptoms of the illness.

A footstool may be used as a footrest for petite operators.

Frequent work breaks should be taken after continuous work periods requiring more thanfive hours of screen viewing time, constant rapid muscular action, fixed positions on jobsthat are highly repetitive.


11/38

OFFICE SAFETY PROCEDURES

The following suggestions can help to make your office environment a safe one:

Don't place computers, calculators, or adding machines too close to the edge of the desk orother surfaces.

Machines that tend to move during operation should be fastened down or secured with rubberfeet or mats.

Electric office machines should be equipped with three-prong electrical cords.

Avoid stretching cords between desks or across aisles.

Never store combustible office materials in HVAC closets or electrical rooms.

Do not permit floor coverings to become tripping hazards.

Keep floors clean. Clean up all spills on floors immediately. Pick up papers, pencils, clipsand any objects that will cause tripping hazards.

Place wastebaskets where they will not present a tripping hazard.

Never stack anything so high as to obstruct vision. Make sure that stacks are not within 18inches of ceiling sprinkler heads.

Electrical cords and phone lines should be secured to prevent tripping hazards.

Know where building emergency exits are located. These areas should not be used forstorage.

File drawers should be closed immediately after use so no one can run into or trip over them.Only one drawer should be opened at a time to prevent the cabinet from falling forward.

Entryway steps should be marked with contrasting colors.

Be sure all electrical equipment is grounded and the cord is in good condition. If a machine isshocking or smoking, unplug it and immediately report the defect.

The use of portable electric, gas or other heating devices is prohibited.

Be cautious as you approach doors that open in your direction.

Slow your pace when approaching a blind corner in a hallway.

Do not run in corridors.

Office tables, chairs, and desks must be maintained in good condition and remain free from

sharp corners, projecting edges wobbly legs, etc.

Never use chairs, desks or other furniture as a makeshift ladder. Use a stepladder forclimbing but do not use the top two steps.

Do not lean forward in a roller chair to pick up an object.

Keep the blades of paper cutters closed when not in use.

Never run power cords under carpet or chair pads.


12/38

SAFE LIFTING PROCEDURES

Preserve your back health by using the following lifting strategies:

Before lifting a load, think of other means of moving it using a device that can help you to pull, push or roll the load.

Have firm footing and make sure the standing surface that you are on is not slippery.

Determine the best way to hold the load using handles, gripping areas or special lifting tools.Get a firm grip on the load.

Keep your back straight by tucking your chin in.

Tighten your stomach muscles and lift with your legs.

Lift the load slowly.

Hold the load as close to the body as possible; be sure you position the load close to the body before lifting.

Do not twist during your lift or when moving the load. Turn with your feet rather than your back.

Set the load down gently, using your legs and keeping your back as straight as possible.

Be sure your fingers are out of the way when putting the load down and when moving theload through tight spaces.

Ask for help if you need it and use lifting tools and devices whenever they are available.


13/38

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY

Hazard Assessment Matrix

One way to conduct hazard assessments is to use a “Hazard Assessment Matrix”. The Matrixcondenses “hazard assessment” into a chart and prioritizes those hazards that are evaluated. Twohazard severity categories are used to designate the magnitude of the “worst case” potential

effects of the hazard are as follows:

Category I – Critical Hazard can result in severe injuries or death to passengers, employees, or others whoencounter the Transportation System and/or cause major property damage.

Category II – Marginal Hazard can result in minor injury or negligible property damage.

After hazards are assessed for their potential severity, they can be examined to determine the probability that they may lead to an accident. As an increase in knowledge about safety is

established through the course of the System Safety Program, prior accident information will befactored into the probability analysis if it is appropriate to do so.

A Frequent The hazard is likely to cause an accident on a recurrent basis.

B Remote An accident is unlikely but possible during the life of the hazard.

FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM

(Ref: 1910.39)


30/38

09/22/15 Section 3 - Safety Data Acquisition & Analysis 30

FIRE PREVENTION PLAN

I. PolicyIt is the policy of Macon County Transit to provide to employees the safest practical workplace

free from areas where potential fire hazards exist. The primary goal of this fire protection program

is to reduce or eliminate fire in the workplace by heightening the fire safety awareness of allemployees. Another goal of this plan is to provide all employees with the information necessary torecognize hazardous conditions and take appropriate action before such conditions result in a fireemergency.

This fire prevention plan complies with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.39.

This plan details the basic steps necessary to minimize the potential for fire occurring in theworkplace. Prevention of fires in the workplace is the responsibility of everyone employed by thecompany but must be monitored by each supervisor overseeing any work activity that involves amajor fire hazard. Every effort will be made by the company to identify those hazards that mightcause fires and establish a means for controlling them.

The fire prevention plan will be administered by the Transit Operations Supervisor, in coordinationwith the Macon County Fire Marshal, who will compile a list of all major workplace fire hazards,the names or job titles of personnel responsible for fire control and prevention equipmentmaintenance, names or job titles of personnel responsible for control of fuel source hazards andlocations of all fire extinguishers in the workplace. The plan administrator, or safety officer, mustalso be familiar with the behavior of employees that may create fire hazards as well as periods ofthe day, month, and year in which the workplace could be more vulnerable to fire.

This fire prevention plan will be reviewed annually and updated as needed to maintain compliancewith applicable regulations and standards and remain up-to-date with the state of the art in fire

protection. Workplace inspection reports and fire incident reports will be maintained and used to provide corrections and improvements to the plan.

This plan will be available for employee review at any time during all normal working hours.

II. CLASSIFICATION

Fire is a chemical reaction involving the rapid oxidation or burning of a fuel. It needs four elementsto occur as illustrated below in the tetrahedron. This is described by the following illustration:


31/38


Heat

Oxygen Fuel

Chemical Reaction

The first component of the tetrahedron is fuel. Fuel can be any combustible material such as: solid(such as wood, paper, or cloth), liquid (such as gasoline) or gas (such as acetylene or propane).Solids and liquids generally convert to gases or vapors before they will burn.

Another component of the tetrahedron is oxygen. Fire only needs an atmosphere with at least 16%oxygen.

Heat is also a component of the tetrahedron. Heat is the energy necessary to increase thetemperature of the fuel source to a point in which sufficient vapors are emitted for ignition to occur.

The final side of the tetrahedron represents a chemical chain. When these components are broughttogether in the proper conditions and preparations, fire will develop. Take away any one of theseelements, and the fire cannot exist or will be extinguished if it was already burning.

Fires are classified into four groups according to sources of fuel: Class A, B, C, and D based on thetype of fuel source. Table 1 below describes the classifications of fire which can be used in makinghazard assessment.

Class A Ordinary combustible materials such as paper, wood, cloth and some rubber and plastic materials.

Class B Flammable or combustible liquids, flammable gases, greases and similar materials, andsome rubber and plastic materials

.Class C Energized electrical equipment and power supply circuits and related materials.

Class D Combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium, lithium and potassium.

III. DETERMINING FIRE HAZARDS

This section consists of two steps: first, identifying the existing fire hazards in the workplace and,second, taking action to resolve them. The inspection checklist, in Appendix A, provides a guide for precise fire-safe practices that must be followed. Appendix B is a listing of the personnelresponsible for the maintenance of the equipment and systems installed to prevent or control fires.


32/38


Material hazards shall be identified, as evident on the specific Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS),and labeled on containers as soon as they arrive in the workplace. The identification system shallalso include incorporation into the company’s hazard communication program.

OXYGEN-ENERGIZED ATMOSPHERES

Oxygen-enriched atmospheres involve operating rooms and anesthesia machines, oxygen tents asused by ambulances, fire and police or rescue squads; hospitals and laboratory supply systems;cutting and welding. If practical, nonflammable anesthetic agents will be used. To preventdangerous adiabatic heating of flammable anesthetic gases, the cylinder valves will be opened veryslowly to allow the gradual introduction of the high pressure gas downstream from the cylindervalve. This will permit a slow buildup of pressure and hence temperature. An aid to theidentification of hazards associated with medical agents and gases in NFPA 704, Standard Systemsfor the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials.

IV. STORAGE AND HANDLING PROCEDURES

The storage of material shall be arranged such that adequate clearance is maintained away fromheating surfaces, air ducts, heaters, flue pipes, and lighting fixtures. All storage containers or areasshall prominently display signs to identify the material stored within. Storage of chemicals shall beseparated from other materials in storage, from handling operations, and from incompatiblematerials. All individual containers shall be identified as to their contents.

ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES

Piles of combustible materials shall be stored away from buildings and located apartfrom each other sufficiently to allow fire fighting efforts to control an existing fire.

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

Flammable liquids shall be stored away from sources that can produce sparks.

Flammable liquids shall only be used in areas having adequate and, if feasible, positiveventilation. If the liquid is highly hazardous, the liquid shall only be used in areas with alocal exhaust ventilation.

Flammable liquids shall never be transferred from one container to another by applyingair pressure to the original container. Pressurizing such containers may cause them torupture, creating a serious flammable liquid spill.


33/38


V. POTENTIAL IGINITION SOURCES

Ensure that utility lights always have some type of wire guard over them.

Don’t misuse fuses. Never install a fuse rated higher than specified for the circuit.

Investigate any appliance or equipment that smells strange. Space heaters,

microwave ovens, hot plates, coffee makers and other small appliances shall berigidly regulated and closely monitored.

The use of extension cords to connect heating devices to electric outlets shall be

prohibited.

If a hot or under inflated tire is discovered, the driver shall notify Dispatch as soon as possible. If a vehicle is left with a hot tire, the tire might burst into flames anddestroy the vehicle and load.

HOUSEKEEPING PREVENTIVE TECHNIQUES

The following are housekeeping techniques and procedures to prevent occurrences of fire.

Keep storage and working areas free of trash.

Do not use gasoline or other flammable solvent or finish to clean floors.

Dispose of materials in noncombustible containers that are emptied daily.

Follow proper storage and handling procedures.

Ensure combustible materials are present only in areas in quantities required for the workoperation.

Clean up any spill of flammable liquids immediately.

Ensure that if a worker’s clothing becomes contaminated with flammable liquids, these

individuals change their clothing before continuing to work.

Report any hazardous condition, such as old wiring, worn insulation and broken electrical

equipment, to the supervisor.

Don’t overload electrical outlets.

Ensure all equipment is turned off at the end of the work day.


34/38


Maintain the right type of fire extinguisher available for use.

Use the safest cleaning solvents (nonflammable and nontoxic) when cleaning electricalequipment.

Ensure that all passageways and fire doors are unobstructed.

Repile immediately any pile of material which falls into an aisle or clear space.

VI. FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT

Every building will be equipped with an electrically managed, manually operated fire alarm system.When activated, the system will sound alarms that can be heard above the ambient noise levelsthroughout the workplace. The fire alarm will also be automatically transmitted to the firedepartment. Any fire suppression or fire detection system will automatically actuate the buildingalarm system.

Portable fire extinguishers are placed in a building. Fire extinguishers must be kept fully chargedand in their designated places. The extinguishers will not be obstructed or obscured from view.

A map indicating the locations of all fire extinguishers for this company is located in Appendix C.The fire extinguishers will also be inspected by the Operations Supervisor (Ryan Dunn), at leastmonthly, to make sure that they are in their designated places, have not been tampered with oractuated, and are not corroded or otherwise impaired.

VII. TRAINING

All employees shall be instructed on the locations and proper use of fire extinguishers in their workareas. Employees shall also be instructed as to how to operate the building’s fire alarm system, and be familiar with evacuation routes. The training of all employees shall include the locations andtypes of materials and/or processes which pose potential fire hazards. The training program shallalso emphasize the following:

1. Use and disposal of smoking materials2. The importance of electrical safety3. Proper use of electrical appliances and equipment4. Unplugging heat-producing equipment and appliances at the end of each work day

5.

Correct storage of combustible and flammable materials6. Safe handling of compressed gases and flammable liquids (where appropriate)
