Y/N

Resolution

1.   Are you familiar with the MSDS requirements for the materials being used and the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

acids, flammable gases and solvents, heavy metals (lead, etc.), respirator, gloves, aprons, face shield, safety glasses, working with flammables

 

 

2.      Will you create dust, welding arcs, heat, excessive noise, ionizing/non-ionizing radiation, or chemical mixtures during the tasks?

welding grinding, painting, x-rays, respirator, gloves, RF, lasers, chemicals, epoxies

 

 

3.      Are there any fire or explosive hazards associated with the task or likely to develop because of the task?

painting, welding, grinding, brazing, mixing chemicals, battery charging

 

 

4.      Could the task create headaches, breathing problems, or dizziness from odors, etc.?

motor exhaust, painting, ozone, solvents, acids, bases, chemicals, portable heaters

 

 

5.      Is the task performed where there is limited space? Does this create additional hazards? Do other conditions such as limited entry, egress, or poor ventilation exist?

restricted workspace or inadequate work surfaces, confined space, manholes, pits, tanks

 

 

6.      Does the task require compressed, liquefied, or noxious gases?

cryogenics, nitrogen, helium, argon, carbon monoxide

 

 

7.      Does the task require work in areas or with materials subject to temperature extremes?

welding, soldering, brazing, cryogenics, resistive heating

 

 

8.      Does the task involve the use of fork trucks, hoists, or cranes?

manlifts, subcontractors, rentals, slings, rigging

 

 

9.      Does the task involve the use of powered hand tools or the use of sharp instruments?

drills, saws, PPE, GFCI, power activated tools, box cutters, wire strippers, or devices using X-acto blades

 

 

10.   Does the work involve the risk of electrical shock or other forms of hazardous energy?

LOTO, compressed gases, lasers, power supplies, pressure, cryogenics

 

 

11.   Does the task involve working above or below floor level?

ladders, scaffolds, ODH, fall protection, confined space

 

 

12.   Does the task involve lifting, pulling, pushing, or carrying heavy objects, or repetitive motion?

posture, back injury, twisting, fork lifts, cranes

 

 

13.   Does the task involve work with pressurized or vacuum vessels?

GFCI resistive heaters, pressure relief, tanks, containers

 

 

14.   Does the task require any permits?

RWP, FHWP, confined space, Energized Electrical Work Permit, Dig or Blind Penetration Permit

 

 

15.   Does the task require specialized training?

subcontractors, scaffold, manlift, confined space

 

 

16.   Will waste products require special handling or disposal requirements?

chemicals, by products, discharges to sewer or ground, HRSD

 

 

17.   Does the task involve the handling of materials with sharp edges?

unguarded sharp metal edges from machining, cutting, drilling, welding

 

 

18.   Do constraints on space make this task more difficult (work environment)?

confined space, restricted workspace

 

 

19.   Any other hazards we may have overlooked with this list?

 

 

 

This worksheet is intended as just a starting point. Having identified the hazards associated with this task, next review the associated guidance in the ESH&Q Manual and develop procedures and controls tailored to the work.
