A GUIDE TO SCAFFOLD USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION

INDUSTRY SEMINAR
30 MEI 2018 | NIOSH BANDAR BARU BANGI

The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA 1994), which is based on the concept of self regulation
places the responsibility to ensure Safety and Health of workers on those who create the risk. As such, it is important
that both employer and employees undertake the responsibility to provide a safe and healthy workplace.

Scaffolding hazards continue to rank high on the list of the most frequently cited standards in the construction
industry. All employees should be competent and well known for the type of scaffolding work they are undertaking
and should have received appropriate training relevant to the type and form of scaffolding they are working on.
Employers must provide appropriate levels of supervision taking into account the complexity of the work and the
levels of training and competence of the scaffolders involved.

This 1day seminar is designed to train employees to recognize the hazards associated with scaffold that is being
used at the work and to understand the procedures to control / minimize those hazards. The content in this seminar
is designed to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements. Which will benefit employers and employees
in a long run.

Do you feel tense and anxious at work? Is your personal life less than blissful? If so, you have
got stress. Stress is internal, which explains why it can wreak havoc on your health. It feels awful
and it is the sense that you are not in control.

The easiest way to mitigate its effect is to take charge of the one and only thing you have the
power to control...YOU, and let go of what you can't control. The beauty of this recipe is that by
taking control of your life, external or outside things will change in response to your internal
changes.

Here are 10 steps to destress for your present and future:

1
Heal yourself - Dr. Bruce McEwen, who wrote The End of Stress As We Know It suggests
that eliminating stress comes right from your grandmother's journal. He says the most
effective steps you can take are the simplest: exercise, a healthy diet, regular sleep, moderate
to minimal alcohol intake, and no smoking. This, he notes, is the most sophisticated, up to the
minute, cutting edge science available!.

2
Get organised - Physical clutter reminds us of things that need to be
done and that is stressful. Remove your physical clutter and you will
eradicate your mental clutter, plus you will feel energised. The recipe for
eliminating clutter is the same regardless of the room or space you
working on. In short, begin by defining the purpose of your room, then
identify the major categories to be kept in your space, sort all your
belongings into those categories, edit each category, and finally, put your
possessions in a pleasing and practical place.

3 Set boundaries - Boundaries act as a filter to keep you safe from the hurtful behavior of others
while allowing in the love, support and nurturing actions we all need. Set your boundaries by
determining what others cannot do to you or in your presence; and sharing this information
respectfully with anyone who is stepping over one of your boundaries.

4
Take time for yourself - Put together a list of all the things you love to do but haven't
regularly made time to do. Put your list in priority order and enter the top five to seven
items into your daily calendar. Your list may include things as simple as journaling,
reading a great book, taking a bubble bath, yoga, etc. You will be more successful getting
to these activities when you give them a time and place on your calendar.

5 Be positive - William James, the father of modern psychology said: "The greatest discovery of
my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind." In other words,
what you say and what you tell yourself impact the present and create your future. Love yourself
and use the power of positive words, pleasing thoughts and affirming beliefs to live the life you
want.

6
Work in a career you love - If you are like most people, you spend the majority of your
waking hours at work. You will know you are in the right profession when you wake up
anxious to go to work, you want to do your best daily, and you know your work is
important.

7 Surround yourself with a supportive community - You are who you spend time with. Hang
out with people who love and accept you just as you are, interested in you (not what you can do
for them), lift you up (not wear you down), solve problems quickly, don't gossip or complain, and
know how to have fun. Anything is possible with the right support.

8 Learn to say, "No" - We have all been influenced by people in our life who tell us we
should do this and do that. As a result, we may end up living a life that others have
decided for us versus living the life we want. So, the next time you think of something
you ought to do, or someone else suggests you should do, take a breath and ask
yourself if it's something you want to do. If not, just say, "no" or "no thank you."

9
Zap tolerations - A toleration is something that irritates you and drains your energy because it
needs to be done, fixed, removed, or changed. If you are like most people you may be tolerating
100 or more things. Put together a list of all the things that bug you, e.g. a dripping faucet,
money concerns, your weight, shopping and running errands, not enough time, computer files
out of control, your hair, a room that needs to be painted, etc. When your list is complete, group
like items and see if one solution will eliminate multiple tolerations.

Get your needs met - A "need" is not an option, it is something you must have to
10 function fully. It is differentiated from a "want" in that a want is optional. Unmet needs
can drive you to distraction and worse. Determine what needs you have that aren't
being met. If any, and then take the appropriate action to get them fulfilled. When you
acknowledge and satisfy your needs, you will be free to focus on other areas of your
life.

The average cost of a worker fall is $12,470, increasing to over $26,000 when lost
production and other costs are factored in. At a profit margin of 10%, more than
$250,000 of revenue needs to be generated to cover a single slip/fall loss. Costs
are higher for falls sustained by the public.

Slip and Fall Prevention: A Practical Handbook responds by providing safety

engineers and claims professionals with a one-stop guide to preventing and
responding to slip and falls. This overview provides specific guidelines for facility
design, effective management control programs, and test methods for pedestrian
safety and slip resistance. In addition to exposure analysis of high-risk
businesses, situations, and locations, the handbook also describes procedures for
reporting, investigating, and mitigating incidents.

Equipped with the information in this reference, businesses will be prepared to

identify and manage factors contributing to slip and falls, reducing exposure to
these frequent and costly losses
