🦺👉🤔When to Delegate in Safety. Delegation is a win-win when done appropriately. However, that does not mean that you can delegate just anything. To determine when delegation is most appropriate there are five key questions you need to ask yourself: Is there someone else who has (or can be given) the necessary information or expertise to complete the task? Essentially is this a task that someone else can do, or is it critical that you do it yourself? Does the task provide an opportunity to grow and develop another person's skills? Is this a task that will recur, in a similar form, in the future? Do you have enough time to delegate the job effectively? Time must be available for adequate training, for questions and answers, for opportunities to check progress, and for rework if necessary. Is this a task that I should delegate? Tasks critical for long-term success (for example, recruiting the right people for your team) genuinely do need your attention.

I’m sure in safety you have these dates marked down in safety 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇲🇽👮‍♀️ CVSA's Operation Safe Driver (OSD) Week is coming up next month, July 7-13. Make sure you order your OSD Week postcards, which we're offering at no cost to industry and enforcement members, before the deadline - this Friday, June 21. Throughout Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement personnel in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. will be on the lookout for commercial motor vehicle drivers and passenger vehicle drivers engaging in unsafe driving behaviors, such as speeding, distracted driving, following too closely, drunk or drugged driving, etc. Drivers engaging in such behaviors will be pulled over by law enforcement and may be issued a warning or citation. Operation Safe Driver Week aims to improve the safety of our roadways through proactive driver safety outreach and education, and by addressing unsafe driving behaviors through responsive traffic enforcement when drivers are identified engaging in dangerous driving behaviors on our roadway The focus area for this year’s Operation Safe Driver Week is reckless, careless or dangerous driving. Any person who drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is driving recklessly. Careless/dangerous driving is defined as operating a vehicle without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for other motorists or people on the road.

In safety did you cover, do they understand in safety 🦺Nail gun safety starts with understanding the various trigger mechanisms. Here is what you need to know: How triggers differ All nailers rely on two basic controls: a finger trigger and a contact safety tip located on the nose of the gun. Trigger mechanisms can vary based on: 1) the order in which the controls are activated, and 2) whether the trigger can be held in the squeezed position to discharge multiple nails OR if it must be released and then squeezed again for each individual nail. Combining these variations gives four kinds of triggers. Some nail guns have a selective trigger switch which allows the user to choose among two or more trigger systems. Each trigger type is described below along with a summary of how the controls are activated. Full Sequential trigger This is the safest type of nail gun trigger. This trigger will only fire a nail when the controls are activated in a certain order. First, the safety contact tip must be pushed into the work piece, then the user squeezes the trigger to discharge a nail. Both the safety contact tip and the trigger must be released and activated again to fire a second nail. Nails cannot be bump fired. Also known as single- shot trigger, restrictive trigger, or trigger fire mode. Single nail: Push safety contact, then squeeze trigger Multiple nails: Release both safety contact and trigger and repeat process Contact trigger Fires a nail when the safety contact and trigger are activated in any order. You can push the safety contact tip first and then squeeze the trigger, or you can squeeze the trigger first and then push the safety contact tip. If the trigger is kept squeezed, a nail will be driven each time the safety contact is pushed in. All nails can be bump fired. Also known as bump trigger, multi-shot trigger, successive trigger, dual-action, touch trip, contact trip, and bottom fire. Single nail: Push safety contact, then squeeze trigger, or squeeze trigger, then push safety contact Multiple nails: Squeeze and hold trigger, then push safety contact to fire one nail, move and push safety contact again to fire additional nails Single Sequential trigger Like the full sequential trigger, this trigger will only fire a nail when the con- trols are activated in a certain order. First, the safety contact tip must be pushed into the work piece. Then, the user squeezes the trigger to discharge a nail. To fire a second nail, only the trigger must be released. The safety contact tip can stay pressed into the work piece. Nails cannot be bump fired. Single nail: Push safety contact, then squeeze trigger Multiple nails: Release trigger, move tool, and squeeze trigger to fire additional nail Single Actuation trigger Like the contact trigger, this trigger will fire a single nail . The first nail can be bump fired with a single actuation trigger but not with a true single sequential trigger. Single nail: Push safety contact, squeeze trigger,

Mail gun risks at work have you covered safety 🦺 Always shoot nail guns away from your body and away from co-workers. Always disconnect the compressed air when: – Leaving a nailer unattended; – Travelling up and down a ladder or stairs; – Passing the nail gun to a co-worker; – Clearing jammed nails; – Performing any other maintenance on the nail gun. Nail gun safety🫵🫵🫵 Follow all manufacturer's instructions when using a nail gun. Ensure the tool meets all applicable OHS guarding standards. Wear safety glasses that provide a side shield. Never attempt to modify or circumvent a safety feature. Keep your fingers away from the trigger when not driving nails.
