• CCM- A crew was attempting to remove a seized rear frame of the stationary crusher. The crane was over limits and bent hooks and frame of the crusher.
Safety Share- Chainsaw Shenanigans- Chris LePera
• Review of chainsaw safety videos • There was no guard on the chainsaw in the first video. • Person cutting down tree was not wearing safety harness. • What if that person who got away with an unsafe situation carried that culture to the workplace?
02-Chainsaw Safety.pdf
• You require a license to operate a chainsaw on a project on surface. • A license is not required for use underground. • Use appropriate PPE: safety chaps, Kevlar gloves, double hearing protection. • Do not drop start a chainsaw. • A dull chainsaw is the most dangerous.
Safety Stats- Chris LePera
• Review of safety stats
PMO-Safety Stats.pdf
• The MOL will be conducting “Point in time” inspections at Copper Cliff Mine in early March. They
may also be looking at Contractor sites as well. • Mike: Lost Time Injury frequency is up this year. We only had 4 in 2015. • The Ni Refinery and Stobie are on a Safety Pause. • Job security is on everyone’s mind recently. • Mike: PMO has a lot of work coming and our Contractors do great work. • Keep up on the Stop and Correct Reporting. • Keep Safety in mind. • Screen in muck piles: a safety concern was identified around sorting screen from muck piles by
hand and with a scoop. PMO will follow up.
High Potential Hazards – Mike Mascioli
• Risk Management Share on mobile equipment door latches. • Conduct an audit on your equipment doors. • Remind your Operators to wear their seat belts. • We have been tracking the high potentials and it clearly indicates why there are still fatalities in the
work place. • The PMO Department can also communicate with the plant on safety issues, if required. • HPI Notification • Environmental PMO- Excavator was digging into frozen muck and a piece of frozen muck
bounced up and went through windshield of excavator. The Operator suffered contusions to his hands.
• Copper Cliff Mine: Scoop Operator encountered void in floor while mucking sand fill. There were no test holes drilled into the floor, only into the back.
• It would be beneficial to have Operators participate in PHRs. They may have important information to add.

Related Critical Activity Requirement (CAR): Lifting of Loads
SAF079 No: IM #56192
At approximately 17:15 at No.2 Oxygen Plant Cold Box demolition site a lift of N74 upper vessel was attempted per engineered lift plan. When crane reached the safe limit of the rigging load capacity the vessel didn’t lift.
Rotate was moved area on left to where it sits
What Happened In our operations we are constantly moving heavy objects such as ore, ladles of hot metal, ingots, tanks, motors, etc. from one place to another. Heavy material handling is made possible through the use of cranes, forklifts, and other equipment.
SAP IM Occurrence No: IM #1762756
The rotate was moved to the work station with the 25 ton crane. A part needed to be moved over 2 feet, this could not be done with the 25 ton crane due to limits. The part was moved over with the 5 ton crane without knowing the weight of the part. The part was 3 tons over the capacity of the 5 ton crane.
What Can We Do
In order to work within boundaries you must first know what the boundaries are. When working with ‘Lifting of loads’ we must know the rated capacities and the limitations of the components being used, as well as the actual weight of the object being lifted. This means knowing the limit of the lifting device i.e. crane, the slings or attachments, knowing how they are de-rated depending on the rigging arrangement, and the rated capacity of the structure that you will be putting the object down on (including the floor when appropriate).
Many of our forklifts have built in scales which enable the operator to measure the weight of the object being lifted. This ensures that the load is within the capacity of the forklift and serves as an opportunity to tag the object with its actual weight so that others can confirm the weight at a later time.
If you don’t know the weight of something that you need to move, check for a stamp or tag, reference drawings, check the work instructions, or ask your supervisor for help.
Upper portion being held in place
Incident Causes
In both of these incidents the weight of the object being lifted exceeded the lifting capacity of the crane by more than 1.5 times the rated design. The actual weight in these instances was unknown at the time of the lift.
A safe way to prepare yourself for operating a chain saw is to read the operator's manual and obtain training from someone who is experienced with chain saws. It is very important to become familiar with the recommended safe operational procedures before attempting to work with a chain saw.
3 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Prepare Yourself
Be sure that you’re in top physical and mental condition when operating dangerous machinery. Medications, alcohol, and similar influencing factors can cause you to be a hazard to yourself and others when working with chainsaws. Your chances of injury become much less when you are alert, well-rested, and healthy
4 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
PPE
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a must when using a chainsaw.
The intended purpose of PPE is not to allow you to work dangerously; it is to mitigate the seriousness of an injury if you are involved in an incident.
The average injury with a chainsaw requires
110 stitches.
36% of injuries are to the legs and knees.
5 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
PPE
Chaps
Safety chaps protect the legs from accidental cuts. Providing protection from the waist to the ankles in the front of the wearer, many of the chainsaw safety chaps have been tested to provide complete protection against chain cuts when a saw moving at 2,500 feet per minute comes into contact with the chaps
(Long sleeves must be worn at Vale)
6 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
PPE
Visors
Due to flying particles and wood chips when operating a chainsaw, eye protection must be worn.
A chainsaw safety visor is preferred over safety goggles since a visor provides more overall coverage of your facial area.
At Vale, donning any type of flip-up style visor doesn’t eliminate the need to wear approved eye protection underneath.
7 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
PPE
The average sound pressure level when operating a gasoline powered chainsaw varies from 103 dBA and up which means that double hearing protection must be worn.
8 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Starting Method Manufacturer Instructions Provided by Stihl
9 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Starting Method
The chain brake must be applied before starting your chainsaw. Push the chain brake forwards for this purpose
10 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
To start the chainsaw, it must be placed on a level surface. The bar and chain must not touch the ground, otherwise the chain would be blunted as it starts and you would expose yourself to unnecessary risk.
Starting Method
11 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Hold the chainsaw on the ground with both hands. Your left hand is on the front handle, your right hand on the starter rope. Put the tip of your right foot through the rear handle to stabilize the machine.
Starting Method
12 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Slowly pull the starter rope with your right hand until you encounter a resistance. Then briskly pull the starter rope several times until the engine briefly starts (pull straight upwards if possible, without the rope rubbing against the fan housing). Don't drop start!
Starting Method
13 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Pull the starter rope again until the engine starts.
Starting Method
14 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Slowly lift the chainsaw off the ground, taking care not to touch the throttle trigger.
Starting Method
15 May Business Session – 06/23/2011
Starting Method
Unacceptable Method of Starting
Air Drop Starting: This method has injured many operators over the years and is against the law in some areas. Holding the handle bar with one hand with the ignition turned on, the choke open and the bar/chain unsupported, the chain saw is moved in a downward motion while the starter rope is pulled. As the bar is completely unsupported it can go anywhere.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD
The hand gripping the bar is near the center of the saw acting as a fulcrum.
the bar and chain tips down and in toward the leg area.
As this hand goes up,
