Description
This CLS: Safety Awareness—Hazardous Energy course trains workers on how to use the OODA Loop to protect themselves and their coworkers against potential hazards when working with various forms of energy on construction job sites. As they become more familiar with the four steps of the OODA Loop, workers will learn to **Observe** the work area for signs of hazardous energy, **Orient** to hazards and ask themselves how they can mitigate them, **Decide** on the safest course of action, and **Act** to eliminate any risk. Topics include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal energy, as well as gravity-related hazards, and Lockout/Tagout procedures. At the end of the course, workers will put their learning to the test by entering our OODA Loop simulator, where they will go through each step of the OODA Loop to find and mitigate hazards in a 3D construction environment.
Objectives
- Use the OODA Loop to recognize and mitigate hazards related to energy sources
- Describe safe practices when working with electrical tools, excavating near underground utilities, or using equipment near overhead power lines
- Discuss how to protect themselves from the moving parts of tools and equipment
- Explain how hydraulic fluid can injure workers
- Explain the importance of inspections and using whip checks or cable chokers when working with pneumatic tools and equipment
- Describe some of the basic protections available for dealing with chemical hazards
