TO VIZWEAR

One of the biggest dangers in wet weather is posed by slips, trips and falls, with those working at height perhaps most at risk – 15% of all deaths from slips, trips and falls are from roofers alone. One of the simplest measures to prevent this kind of accident is to choose appropriate clothing. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) offers the following advice for those working in the cold and the rain: • During bad weather, avoid boots or shoes with smooth soles and heels, such as plastic and leather soles. Instead, wear shoes or boots that provide traction; boots made of nonslip rubber or neoprene with grooved soles are best.

• Wear a heavy, bulky coat that will cushion you if you should fall.

• Keep warm, but make sure you can hear what’s going on around you.

4

• If working outdoors during the day, wear sunglasses to help you see better and avoid hazards.

Even if an individual may often feel like dressing up warmly, one should ensure the clothing does not prevent one from clear seeing or block one from getting the traffic.

Dress in a bright colored scarf on the neck or head covering or shiny clothing, so one is easily noticeable from a distance. Never dress in clothes or jackets that have a dull color or not bright enough to be easily seen.

Another consideration is to adapt the working environment to make it safer during wet weather. Again, the HSE has some tips for keeping workers safe: • When fitting external paved areas ensure that the material used will be slip resistant

when wet.

• Discourage people from taking shortcuts over grass or dirt which are likely to become slippery when wet. Consider converting existing shortcuts into proper paths.

• On new sites, before laying paths, think about how pedestrians are likely to move around the site. Putting the path in the right place from the start may save you money in the long term.

• Many slip accidents happen at building entrances as people entering the building walk in rainwater. Fitting canopies of a good size over building entrances and in the right position can help to prevent this.

• If a canopy is not a possibility, consider installing large, absorbent mats or even changing the entrance flooring to one which is non-slip.

TO VIZWEAR

Every year, in the construction industry, workers are killed and many others injured as a result of head injuries. If you wear a safety helmet your chances of being seriously hurt are greatly reduced. Wearing one could save your life. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is always the last line of defence. Wherever possible, other measures should first be taken to reduce or control the risk, eg: provide brick guards and toe boards to stop objects falling from the scaffold; keep scaffolds free of loose materials; tie suspended loads securely.

The Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 require suitable head protection, normally safety helmets, to be provided and worn when there is a risk of injury. If you are in control of a site, eg as a principal contractor, you need to think about risks of head injury.

There may be risks from falling materials or of knocking into things such as low scaffolds.

Unless there is no foreseeable risk of injury you must provide 8

your employees with safety helmets and decide when, where, and how they should be worn. Safety hefmets must be worn in designated ‘hard hat’ areas.

A properly fitting safety helmet should have the right shell size for the wearer and an easily adjustable headband and chin strap. The range of size adjustments should be large enough to accommodate thermal liners used in cold weather.

Safety helmets should be

as comfortable as possible.

Comfort is improved by the following: a flexible headband of adequate width and contoured both vertically and horizontally to fit the forehead; an absorbent sweatband that is easy to clean or replace; textile cradle straps; chin straps (when fitted) which fit around the ears are fitted with smooth, quick-release buckles which don’t dig into the skin are made from non-irritant materials; - can be stowed on the helmet when not in use.

TO VIZWEAR

Choosing slip-resistant footwear from the whole host of products on the market can be difficult. Sole descriptions are varied, from ‘improving the grip performance’ to ‘excellent multi-directional slip-resistance’. Often, footwear is just described as ‘slip-resistant’ and the brochure does not describe the conditions for which the footwear is most suitable.

Footwear selection has to take account of a number of factors in addition to slip resistance, such as comfort, durability and any other safety features required, such as toe protection. The final choice may have to be a compromise.

Accidents are expensive – there are many hidden and uninsured costs. With footwear, like any product, you tend to get what you pay for. Ensure you buy footwear which will do the job – this will not necessarily be the cheapest.

12

Specify the main surfaces and contaminants which cause slip risks in your workplace, and seek your supplier’s advice on suitable footwear.

With some footwear the surface profiles do not provide the improvement in slip resistance that might be expected.

Consider asking your supplier to provide trial pairs to help you make the right choice.

‘Oil-resistant’ does not mean ‘slip-resistant’ – the former is just a statement that the soles will not be damaged by oil.

Footwear trials should involve a representative sample of the workforce and last long enough to produce meaningful results.

The sole tread pattern and sole compound are both important for slip resistance. Generally a softer sole and close-packed tread pattern work well with fluid contaminants and indoor environments. A more open pattern works better outdoors or with solid contaminants. The only sure way to tell is to trial footwear in your environment.

Have a system for checking and replacing footwear before it becomes worn and dangerous.

Where footwear has been tested, coefficient of friction (CoF) test values must be available. CoF data can be requested from the supplier.

Some suppliers now publish it in their catalogues. The higher the CoF, the better the slip resistance. Look for CoF results higher than the minimum requirements set out in annex A of EN ISO 20345/6/7: 2004 (A1:2007) - the standards for safety, protective and occupational footwear.

Footwear which has passed the EN test for slip resistance will be marked with one of the following codes, SRA, SRB or SRC
