This video answers the questions...*What safety programs are needed at a water or wastewater treatment facility? *What are the health and safety concerns that are unique to the water/wastewater industry? *Which safe work practices should be used in the water/wastewater industry? *Which plant safety programs should be implemented?It's designed for the individual who might ask,Where do I start? Step-by-step, hands-on advice: *Safe Work Practices *Safety Programs *Safety EquipmentWater/Wastewater treatment ranks high on the national listings of industrial occupations where on-the-job injuries are frequent. Since operators are expected to be diverse, multitalented, extremely capable individuals who can do whatever is required to maintain smooth plant operation, several safety considerations come into play during a normal plant shift. It logically follows that diverse job functions expose the worker to myriad hazards. The bottom line is quite simple: Water/wastewater workers are exposed to just about every type of occupational hazard except nuclear radiation. With almost unlimited exposure to most hazards, safety in the water/wastewater treatment industry is a critical issue.
Industries that adopt and abide by safe work practices have fewer on-the-job injuries. Designed to provide information covering OSHA's required safety programs, this video covers eleven individual safety programs required at most water/wastewater treatment plants. The information functions both as a basic reference to safe work practices, and as safety training for workers.
