Fall
For
Pretty
Danny
A

Force - extertion, push/pull, lifting, concentrated on small parts of the body etc.
Frequency - the amount of times an action is repeated in a time frame (e.g. lift 3 boxes every 30 seconds)
Posture - amount of deviation from the neutral position
Duration - the period of time spent on the task (e.g. lift boxes for 3 hours0

others: local contact stress (mechanical compression causing pressure to soft tissues), vibration, temperature, reaction forces (i.e. kickback from tools)

20
Q

Behaviour Based Safety (BBS)

Behaviour is….

A

An action - refers to acts/actions by individuals that can be observed and measured by others

21
Q

BBS

Incentive is…

A

A promise- a stimulus perceived future positive consequence that promises recognition and reward

22
Q

BBS

Recognition is…

Is the fulfilling the promise - the act of recognizing/expressing appreciation for past behaviour or performance

Examples: complying with safety rules, reporting harzards/injuries, making safety suggestions, involvement in safety committee etc.

23
Q

What is an emergency?

A

An event or imminent event, outside the scope of normal operations that needs to be addressed promptly to protect health safety, welfare of people or limit damage to property and environment

24
Q

What is emergency preparedness?

A

activities, programs and systems for response, recovery and mitigation in anticipated emergencies

25
Q

what is emergency response plan (ERP)?

A

a document developed to ensure quick access to the information necessary for effectively responding to an emergency (i.e. evacuation procedures, instructions, etc.)

purpose of plan is to make provisions for measures to be put in place before, during or after emergency

26
Q

What is the Fire Triangle?
Free
Orders of
Hotdogs

A

Fire is a very rapid chemical reaction between 3 elements:

  1. Oxygen to sustain combustion
  2. Heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature
  3. Fuel or combustible material
27
Q

How do firefighters extinguish fires?

A

By fighting all sides of the triangle

  • extinguisher (powder/foam) to take out the oxygen
  • water to eliminate the heat/source of ignition
  • axes/maneuvers to remove fuel (breaking walls, taking out combustible materials, etc)
28
Q

What is knowledge-based learning?

A

learning designed to enable the learner to process factors, information, processes and other knowledge from short term to long-term memory

downside: alot of knowledge-based training falls short due to poor engagement as learner is focused on FINISHING and not necessarily absorbing content

29
Q

What is skill-based learning

A

learning that attempts to concentrate on developing and applying specific skills and behaviours. Learners spend most of time engaged in learning, developing and practicing through hands on application.

downside: will fall short if insufficient time dedicated to apply skills and behaviours during the training (need to be able not only to acquire skill but apply to job)

30
Q

Workplace wellness initiatives - health promotion programs

A

combo of diagnostic, educational, and behavioural modification activities designed to support positive health (i.e. EAP, lifestyle programming, stress management)

31
Q

Workplace wellness initiatives - family friendly programs

A

Examples include flex work, family care benefits, personal leaves etc

32
Q

Measuring safety - Lagging indicators

A

Outcome indicators - measurements that tell us how well we have performed in the past, things that have already occurred and typically follows and undesired/unplanned event (cannot be directly managed)

33
Q

Measuring safety - Leading indicators

A

Positive performance indicators - measures of the present, they give insight into how well we are integrating safety into our daily activities (can be directly managed)
 Simple, closely connected to the outcome/results
 Objectively and reliably measurable
 Interpreted by different groups in the same way
 Easily and accurately communicated
