# Accident Prevention Policy

It is the policy of the Sacramento County Airport System to protect our employees from occupational injuries and illnesses while on the job. To carry out this policy, employees are expected to follow the Code of Safe Practices adopted by the Sacramento County Airport System. A copy of the Code of Safe Practices is to be posted on the Safety Bulletin Board at each worksite. Safety is a cooperative undertaking requiring an ever-present safety and health awareness on the part of every employee. Prevention of workplace injuries and illnesses is our goal. Therefore, all operations must be carried out in a safe and healthy manner. If an employee sustains an occupational injury or illness, positive and prompt action must be taken to see that the employee receives adequate treatment and any unsafe condition is reported through the chain of command.- 4 - 

# SCAS Code of Safe Practices

1. Report all accidents, injuries, illnesses, or unsafe conditions, immediately to your supervisor. The supervisor is responsible for reporting this information through the chain of command and to the Safety Officer. 2. Aisles, hallways and stairways, shall be kept clear of obstructions at all times. 3. Fire extinguishers shall be inspected regularly and access shall be kept clear of obstructions at all times. 4. Exits shall be kept clear and well lighted. 5. Employees shall not store excessive combustibles (paper products, flammable oils, paint etc.) near heat generating equipment. 6. Work areas shall be maintained in a neat, orderly manner. Trash and refuse are to be disposed of in proper waste containers. 7. Files and supplies shall be stored in such a manner as to preclude damage to the supplies or injury to personnel when they are moved. Heaviest items shall be stored closest to the floor and lightweight items stored above. 8. Material shall not be stacked precariously on top of file cabinets or other high places. 9. Lower desk or cabinet drawers shall not be left open so as to present a tripping hazard. Use care when opening and closing drawers to avoid pinching fingers. 10. Do not open more than one upper drawer at a time; particularly the top two drawers on tall file cabinets. 11. Always use the proper lifting technique. Never attempt to lift or push an object which is too heavy. Use appropriate material handling equipment and/or ask for help. 12. When carrying material, caution shall be exercised in watching for and avoiding obstructions, loose material, etc. 13. Equipment such as scissors, staples, etc. shall be used for their intended purposes only and shall not be misused as hammers, pry bars, screwdrivers etc. Misuse can cause damage to the equipment and possible injury to the user. 14. Liquid spills shall be wiped up promptly. Chemical spills shall be addressed using appropriate hazardous material handling procedures. 15. Appliances such as coffee pots and microwaves shall be kept in good working order and inspected for signs of wearing, heating or fraying of cords.- 5 - 

# SCAS Code of Safe Practices

16. Cleaning solvents and flammable liquids shall be stored in appropriate containers. 17. Extension cords and multiplugs are never permitted. Plugging several power strips together is not permitted. 18. Food waste shall not be disposed of in office waste receptacles. Food waste shall be disposed of in waste receptacles in the kitchen. 19. Smoking is not permitted inside or within 20 feet of any County leased or owned facility. 20.

Employees must not use a chair or table in place of a ladder or step stool to reach high objects. 22. All coffee pots, coffee cups heaters, radios or other personal electronic devices must be turned off or unplugged after office hours and must meet minimum safety requirements. 23. Computers, typewriters, calculators and copy machines shall be turned off after normal hours. Overheating of electrical equipment create a fire hazard. 24. Safety precautions regarding hand tools, machines and mechanical devices shall be adhered to and training on proper utilization shall be provided.- 6 - 

# Employee Compliance

All employees are required to comply with the provisions of this policy and perform their job responsibilities in a safe and healthy manner, in accordance with the health and safetytraining they are provided. Employee safety and health depends upon doing so. Noncompliance to safe and healthful work practices could cause potential harm and injury to coworkers or the public. SCAS staff may conduct unannounced inspections to determine the degree of compliance with the policy, or any safety-related rule or practice. Any employee who knowingly violates any provision of this policy may be subject to disciplinary action.- 7 - 

# Safety Communication System

It is SCAS policy to maintain open communication between management and line staff on matters pertaining to safety and health. SCAS will provide safety and health information through safety meetings, memorandums, information posted on the safety bulletin board and the Human Resource intranet site. Suggestions regarding safety and health are considered important, and employees' active participation in the Department's safety and health program is encouraged. The Department desires to have communication relating to safety matters channeled through the following methods:

 Employees can offer safety suggestions/hazard observations, either verbally or in writing (via Safety Suggestion/Hazard Observation forms), to their supervisor, On-site Safety Representative or the Safety Officer. If offered verbally, the initial response may be verbal. If offered in writing, the response will be in writing. All safety suggestions and hazard observations will be evaluated and each will receive a response which will be posted on the safety bulletin board.

 Supervisors who receive safety suggestions or hazard observations shall perform an initial evaluation to determine if corrective action(s) are necessary. A copy of the submitted Safety Suggestion/Hazard Observation form, with the supervisor's written recommended corrective action(s), shall be forwarded to the On-site Safety Representative who will address it with the SCAS safety committee. If additional expertise or information is needed, they shall consult appropriate parties.

 The Safety Officer and the On-site Safety Representatives will ensure that all Safety Suggestions/Hazard Observation forms are considered and any appropriate corrective action, if necessary, will be taken. A copy of the completed Safety Suggestion/Hazard Observation Form will then be posted on the applicable safety bulletin board.

 SCAS encourages employees to report, without fear of reprisal, any workplace hazard they identify. Employees shall report workplace hazards immediately to their direct supervisor or the On-site Safety Representative. Supervisors, in turn, are required to either correct the problem in a timely manner, or if they are not able to do so, immediately report the workplace hazard to the Safety Officer. All safety suggestions and hazard observations will receive a response, which will be posted on the safety bulletin board.

 Employees are encouraged to utilize the chain of command to address safety issues, but may choose to remain anonymous. Anyone may mail safety suggestions directly to the Department Safety Officer, Matt Doyle at 95-001 or email at doylema@saccounty.net. Anonymous suggestions may also be mailed to your Supervisor or the Director of Airport Systems.- 8 -

# Safety Inspection Procedure

An effective hazard control system is essential for providing a safe and healthful work environment and developing safe work practices. Safety inspections provide a method of identifying, evaluating, and eliminating or controlling existing or potential hazards in the workplace. Employees and Supervisors shall continually survey their work areas for unsafe conditions and/or acts. Any hazards will be reported via the chain of command and corrective measures for eliminating or controlling identified hazards shall be taken, if necessary. Safety inspections shall be conducted as follows: Annually and whenever new substances, processes, procedures or equipment introduce potential new hazards into our workplace; when new, previously unidentified hazards are recognized; when occupational injuries and illnesses occur; when we assign and/or reassign permanent or intermittent workers to duties involving processes, operations, or tasks for which a hazard evaluation has not been previously conducted; and whenever changing workplace conditions warrant an inspection. The SCAS Safety Officer shall conduct scheduled inspections of SCAS facilities. These periodic inspections will be scheduled at least annually or more frequently as necessary, and will be documented on the Workplace Safety Inspection Guide or Safety Management By Walking Around (SMBWA) Form . Unsatisfactory conditions shall be noted on the form and shall be prioritized and corrected based on the severity of the hazard.

Hazard Correction - Unsafe or unhealthy work conditions, practices or procedures shall be corrected in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazards. Hazards shall be corrected when observed or discovered except when an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately abated without endangering employee(s) and/or property, in which case all exposed workers will be removed from the immediate area.- 10 -

# Basic Rules for Accident/Incident Investigation

The purpose of accident/incident investigation is to find the root cause of an injury/illness and prevent further occurrences. The purpose is not to assign blame. An unbiased approach is necessary to obtain objective findings. The Supervisor, On-site Safety Representative and the SCAS Safety Officer, when appropriate, will conduct an investigation into SCAS accidents or critical “near misses” utilizing the procedures listed below:

 Visit the accident scene as soon as possible (when it is safe to do so) -- while facts are fresh and before witnesses forget important details.

 If possible, interview the injured workers at the scene of the accident and "walk" him or her through a re-enactment.

 All interviews should be conducted as privately as possible. Interview witnesses one at a time. Talk with anyone who has knowledge of the accident even if they did not actually witness it.

 Consider taking signed statements in cases where facts are unclear or there is an element of controversy.

 Document details graphically. Use sketches, diagrams and photos as needed, and take measurements when appropriate.

 Focus on causes and hazards. Develop an analysis of what happened, how it happened and how it could have been prevented. Determine what caused the accident itself, not just the injury.

 Every investigation should include an action plan. How will you prevent such accidents in the future?

 If a third party or defective product contributed to the accident, save any evidence. It could be critical to the recovery of claims costs.

 The law requires that all accidents must be investigated and reported within 48 hours. Supervisors must give an injured employee a claim form within 24 hours of knowledge of injury.

 Prepare an accident report, including the recommended actions to prevent a recurrence. Send the report and if necessary, a Workers Compensation Packet or Drivers Report of Accident (DRA), to the SCAS Safety Officer at mail code 95-001.- 13 -

# Safety and Health Record Keeping

The injury and illness record keeping requirements under Cal-OSHA require a minimum amount of paperwork. These records will provide one measure for evaluating the success of safety and health activities; success would generally mean a lack of, or a reduced number of, employee injuries or illnesses during a calendar year. The SCAS Safety Officer shall ensure these records are kept at a central location with all other records. The records must remain accessible to review by applicable inspectors and other interested parties. There are four important steps required by the Cal-OSHA record keeping system: 1. Obtain a record of every injury or illness requiring medical treatment. The employee's supervisor is to prepare a Report of Occupational Injury and Illness (Form 5020). 2. An injured employee must be given the Employee's Claim for Workers' Compensation Benefits , (DWC-1). 3. Maintain the OSHA Log (Form No. 300) (provided by Workers' Compensation). 4. Every year obtain the summary OSHA Form No. 300A from Workers' Compensation and post it from February 1 until May 1 on the Safety Bulletin Board. During the year, the On-site Representatives and SCAS Safety Officer will periodically review these records to review the frequency of injuries and illnesses and where they have occurred. These records can help identify hazardous areas in the workplace and pinpoint where immediate corrective action/training is needed. Records to be Maintained

 Inspection Records (3 year retention)
 Accident Investigation Records (open-ended retention/based on severity)
 Training Records (length of employment)
 OSHA 300 & 300A Summary Log (5 year retention)
 OSHA Form No. 301, W/C Form 5020 (5 year retention)/(maintained by Workers’ Compensation) Essential records, including those legally required for workers' compensation, insurance audits and government inspections, must be maintained for as long as the law requires. Exposure Records The injury and illness records may not be the only records the Department will need to maintain. Certain Cal-OSHA standards that deal with toxic substances and hazardous exposures require records of employee exposure to these substances and sources, physical examination reports, employment records, etc. Exposure records shall be maintained for a minimum of 30 years past the last day of employment.- 20 -

 Safety related information distributed to employees- 21 -
