DIRECTOR'S POLICY STATEMENT

• I am committed to a strong accident
  prevention and occupational health program. I
  call on everyone in the Defense Energy Support
  Center to do the same. It is important for all
  managers and supervisors to set an example
  supporting fire prevention and protection, safety
  and occupational health programs.
• Accidents are preventable, and we must
  do everything we can to prevent them.
  Supervisors and employees share responsibilities
  for rectifying and correcting unsafe conditions.
  I expect everyone within DESC to make health and
  safety a priority.

DESC Safety Program Goals

• DESC Directors commitment to safety and
  occupational health.
• Goals and Initiatives
• Properly trained staff of both professional and
  collateral duty safety personnel.
• Regular safety inspections.
• Accurate and timely reporting of accidents.

12
Recognizing and Identifying Workplace Hazards

• The primary goal of DESCs safety and
  occupational health program is preventing
  mishaps. The early detection, reporting, and
  abating of a hazard will control the hazard
  before it results in a mishap. As a DESC CDSM,
  you must be aware of the hazards in your work
  area. Unrecognized or unreported hazards will
  eventually result in an injury or property damage.

13
Recognizing and Identifying Workplace Hazards

• Slips, trips and falls (STF) are the most common
  office accident, accounting for the greatest
  number of disabling injuries. The disabling
  injury rate of falls among office workers is 2 to
  2.5 times higher than the rate for non-office
  employees and accounts for 15 to 20 percent of
  all workers compensation costs.

14
Recognizing and Identifying Workplace Hazards

• The following checklist can help prevent an STF
  before it happens
• Close drawers completely after every use.
• Secure electrical cords and wires away from
  walkways.
• Always use a stepladder for overhead reaching.
  Chairs should never be used as ladders.
• Clean up spills immediately.
• Pick up objects coworkers may have left on the
  floor.
• Report loose carpeting or damaged flooring.
• Never carry anything that obscures your vision.
• Wear stable shoes with non-slip soles.

15
Recognizing and Identifying Workplace Hazards

• Although a typical office job may not involve
  lifting large or especially heavy objects, it is
  important to follow the principles of safe
  lifting. Small, light loads (i.e., stacks of
  files, boxes of computer paper, books)
  can wreak havoc on your back, neck,
  and shoulders if you use your body
  incorrectly when you lift them.

  health office if the CDSM cannot correct the
  hazard immediately.
• Clear the immediate area and cease operations if
