8.1 The Safety Committee Meeting was conducted on August 27, 2019 

• Mayra Martinez, Remone Redmond & ATD staff were in attendance as scheduled 

Summary of Topics from last meeting: 

DISCUSSION 

• Safety Culture: Best Practices 

• Means & Methods Update: Safety Culture 

• On-site Training 

• Hilti-Tools: Joint Training with Emmons 

• Fire Protection Inventory 

• CPR Training 

Dai/ 8/27 SCM Summary: 

CONCLUSIONS 

Questions: Care First Medical Group Paperwork 

• Discussion regarding the “Off Work (Balance of Shift)” option that was marked on Sal Flores Care First 

Medical Group paperwork from 8/21/19 took place. Sandra mentioned she needed clarification on why the 

option was marked and Remone agreed to verify the meaning of the option with Care First and follow up 

with Sandra. 

Safety Culture: Best Practices 

• Remone led the discussion on best safety practices. He explained that OSHA provides minimum 

standards, however incidents/injuries create best practices for the industry to use. POS uses cumulative 

data analysis, industry trends and widespread experience to suggest best practice options to increase 

ATD’s safety culture. 

Means & Methods Update: Safety Culture 

• Mayra reminded the committee that there have been 3 recent hand injuries. She said that the pattern led 

to the implementation of new means and methods to mitigate similar injuries. In addition, she said that 

when she spoke with Sal Flores on 8/27, he agreed that he should’ve followed safety protocol and that his 

recent injury was preventable.

1485 Spruce St., Suite M, Riverside, CA 92507 | www.thepriceofsafety.com

• 

• The committee agreed that they have seen less resistance from Sal regarding safety as Mayra has 

monitored him strategically in the last 90 days using the 360 degree evaluations. Mayra mentioned that 

she noticed that Sal performs better when he’s monitored more frequently. 

• The committee also discussed the importance of spotters, JHAs and the Buddy System. Remone 

explained that although the above mentioned best practices are not required by OSHA, POS has them in 

place to help reduce ATD’s liability. For example, ATD could have been held liable if a major injury or 

fatality occurred because a foreman operated the machine at the time of an incident. 

On-site Training 

• Mayra will conduct on-site trainings to cover missed safety topics. She will discuss Crystalline-Silica & 

Respiratory, PPE and Mechanical Guarding. Mayra also requested contact information for all ATD crew 

members to communicate/coordinate and to ultimately ensure all crew members are properly trained. 

Hilti-Tools: Joint Training with Emmons 

• Training schedules were discussed. Remone reported that he spoke with Brian from Hilti and he learned 

that Hilti does not offer the specific training ATD requested. However, Hilti is willing to train ATD staff on 

Reciprocating Saw & Drillcom at no cost to ATD (1 hour training). Remone also informed ATD that Hilti 

has Gas Saw (2 hour training) and Silica trainings (1 hour) with 2 trainers for 9/13 or 9/20 for a fee. 

Remone will coordinate with Charles from BBSI and Emmons to find out specific costs and schedule as 

needed. Remone also stated that these trainings can boost morale and the safety culture for ATD & 

Emmons. 

Fire Protection Inventory 

• Out-dated fire extinguisher tags were discussed. Mayra stated she would like to conduct refresher training 

on how to read tags correctly. Remone also suggested that ATD contact their manufacturer for 

maintenance or replacement as we look ahead to ensure all fire extinguishers are up-to-date. ATD will 

look into it. 

CPR Training 

• CPR certifications that expired on 8/5/2019 were discussed. Remone will assist with scheduling 4-hour 

CPR training for ATD.

Personnel were notified shortly after the event occurred. 

CONCLUSIONS 

Dai 

ACTION ITEMS 

SF was driven to Carson Urgent Care located at 522 W. Carson St., Carson, CA. The P.A. did not give him treatment, she 

highly recommended he be seen at the closest Emergency Room. 

SF was taken to UCLA Medical Center Emergency Room and received five (5) stiches below his 4 th and 5 th finger. SF was 

discharged at 9:00pm. He returned to work the following day with limited use of left-hand work restrictions. 

An incident investigation was conducted to understand the sequence of events leading up to the incident. Surface 

conditions which may have contributed to the SF incident include; SF did not have hand protection and the Pre- 

Construction Hazard Analysis was not completed for the day. Root causes that contributed to this incident were the 

following: Required field documentation was not completed for the tasks being performed and lack of enforcement of ATD 

Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). 

This incident was preventable, and reoccurrence can be reduced by executing and enforcing the IIPP/Code of Safe 

Practices. Additional improvements would be to 1.) Conduct safety orientations (company & site) 2.) Pre-Construction 

Hazard Analysis should be completed with comprehensive training by Site Supervisors to every employee on site, 

including delivery drivers. 

PERSON 

RESPONSIBLE 

DEADLINE 

Re-train all Foremen according to the Anthony Torres Demolition IIPP relating to 

Procedures for Hazard Correction. 

Mayra Martinez October 2019 

Re-train employees, including delivery drivers on completion and acknowledgement of 

Pre-Construction Hazard Analysis. Mayra Martinez October 2019 

Prior to conducting work on site, A Pre-Construction Hazard Analysis is to be completed

DAILY SAFETY NARRATIVE (DSN) 


Please put your Daily Safety Narrative here 

I arrived on site at 13691 Phyllis Avenue, Moreno Valley and met with the Foreman Jesus Pineda. We have 

a two-man crew and their scope of work is to remove the wood frame from a burned canopy at a 

residence. 

The equipment utilized is a pick and a-frame ladder. I inspected the ladder and ensured the rungs, steps, 

and cleats were in good condition without puncture and laceration hazards. It did not have any structural 

defects and all manufacture stickers were legible. 

The crew had their personal protective equipment : hard hats, safety glasses, boots, and appropriate 

clothing and leather gloves. 

The safty concerns I noted were the following: 

1.)High Heat Hazard: According to weather records, it will be 95 degrees by 1:00PM. The crew did not have 

High Heat Training prior to beginning their task. According to Section 7 in ATD Code of Safe Practices, it 

reads " all employees working on job tasks where environmental risk factors for heat illness are present, 

shall receive instruction before being assigned to work tasks." 

Corrective Action: I conducted a High Heat Illness Prevention Training. The training covered, Heat Illness, 

shade accessability, water intake, communication, and encouraged them to take preventative cool-down 

rest in shade when they feel the need to do so to protect themselves from overheating. (Please see sign in 

sheet.) 

2.) Incomplete Pre-Con Hazard Analysis. Foreman Jesus Pineda did not have the Pre-construction Hazard 

Analysis Completed upon my arrival. I asked him if he could fill out the form and go over all hazards with 

his crew to ensure awareness to reduce potential injuries. He stated he could not read, and therefore he 

could not fill out the form. I then asked him If I read the form in Spanish, if he would be able to complete 

the information . He stated he also could not write, and mentioned the other employee working with him 

today was also unable to complete the form. He advised that he did speak with his co-worker of the 

hazards on site and ensured they both had appropriate PPE, sufficient water, and shade. 

Note: Foreman Jesus Pineda is usually paired with an employee that assists him and sends me digital 

copy of his Pre-Con.Hazard Analysis. 

No Injuries were reported today. This completes my narrative.

I arrived on site at approximately 8:50pm and met with Leadman Jesus Diaz. He has a 5-man crew and 

they are removing drywall and a metal frame from 'Hoag Health Center.' 

The entire crew had appropriate clothing and personal protective equipment including hard hats, safety 

glasses , bright long sleeve shirts, safety boots, and leather gloves. 

They are utilizing one scissor lift to reach heights with a spotter. The scissor lift is on leveled flat surface 

and the operator is only standing on the designated area. 

Tools used are a pick, hand drill, wire cutters, and shovels and a pushbroom. All equipment appears to be 

in good working condition. A piece of tape is on the small hand drill for identification. 

During my evaluation, I abated the following safety concerns: 

1.) Incomplete Pre-Con Hazard Analysis. Leadman Jesus Diaz did not have a form completed. 

Corrective Action: I asked him to obtain the form from inside the company truck, complete the form, and 

review with the crew. Crew member Sergio assisted with writing out all information and Jesus reviewed all 

hazards with the crew .(Please see picture.) 

2.) Incomplete Truck Inspection. Upon request to view the ATD Truck inspection, Jesus Diaz stated he did 

not have any new forms. He showed me the Form Pad and it was thoroughly complete with previous 

dates. He did not have one for today . 

3.) Incomplete Weeky Safety Meeting: Upon request, the Weekly Safety Meeting had not been conducted 

with Leadman Jesus Diaz. 

Corrective Action: I provided a copy of the Weeky Safety Meeting and Conducted the tailgate with the crew 

on Safety Data Sheets. (Please see sign in sheet.) 

Fire Hazard: The fire extinguisher on site is inadequate. The date on the inspection tag shows the 

extinguisher had its annual maintenance performed in June 2018. 

Note: Jesus Diaz' CPR/First Aid Certificate expired on 8/5/2019. 

There were no injuries reported during my evaluation. This concludes my narrative.

I arrived on site at Joanns in Sherman Oaks with Foreman Sal Flores at approximately 9:00am. I met with 

Sal, he is currenty recovering and overseeing the work . 

I inspected his documentation. The Pre-Con Hazard Analysis, Weekly Safety Meeting, Safety plans, 

emergency procedures and Heat Illness Prevention plan were all compete and available. 

The Weekly Safety Meeting was conducted by Sal Flores and covered " OSHA quickcard Safety Data 

Sheets" 

We have a 6-man crew today and their scope of work is removing shelving units and placing them into the 

waste receptical from the second floor of the Sports Authority/Joanns store. 

All crew members had appropriate personal protective equipment incuding, hard hats, safety glasses, 

bright orange shirts/vests, boots, and gloves. 

The tools and equipment being utilized today are the following: Hammer, pick, waste container, and pallet 

jack. 

Note: The Hammer being utlized on site appeared to be damaged. I brought it to the attention of Sal Flores 

and he stated the tape was there for identification purposes. 

There were no incidents reported during my evaluation. This concludes my narrative.

I arrived on site at approximate 1:15pm and met with the Foreman Teodocio Mendoza. 

Upon arrival the crew was on a cool-down/water break. We are currently experiencing 104 degree weather 

in Palm Desert. 

The Safety Concerns found and abated on site are the following: 

1.)The crew did not have High Heat Training prior to conducting work. 

Corrective Action: I conducted a stand down High Heat Training for the crew. I emphasised to drink plenty 

of water, communication, breaks in shade, and high heat symptoms. 

2.)The fire extinguisher on site has an invalid inspection date. 


I advised the foreman to turn it into the yard and replace with a valid extinguisher. 

We have two heavy machines on site : a bobcat and a fork lift. 

Note: Crew members Christian and Teodocio Mendoza were spotting the forklift. 

There is a trench on site, however, the trench is blocked by caution tape. Our crew is not currently working 

near that area. There are other contractors working on this site. According to the Foreman, carpenters 

conducted a concrete pour earlier today and have departed the site. 

All employees has appropriate personal protective equipment. Gloves were used when handling thee pick 

and chains. 

No incidents were reported during my evaluation. Thu concludes my narrative.

OSHA’s Revised Haz-Com Standard – New GHS Label Requirements 

LABEL REQUIREMENTS 

OSHA recently revised their Hazard Communication Standard to align with the international “Globally 

Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals”, commonly referred to as “GHS”. As a result, 

manufacturers and distributors of hazards chemicals and products must begin standardizing their container 

labels to display all of the following information. 

• Product Identifier: The product name or an identifying number that can be cross referenced to the 

corresponding Safety Data Sheet (SDS), as well as to the list of hazardous chemicals that we maintain as part 

of our written Haz-Com program; 

• Signal Words: Indicate the relative level of severity of hazard. The only two signal words used will be 

"Danger" and "Warning"; other words like “caution” or “beware” will no longer be allowed after the effective 

date. "Danger" is the signal word used for more severe hazards, while "Warning" is used for the less severe 

ones; 

• Hazard Statements: Short statement assigned to a specific hazard class and category that describes the 

nature of the hazard(s) of a chemical, including, where appropriate, the degree of hazard. Examples of hazard 

statements include “Highly flammable liquid and vapor”, or “May cause liver damage.” 

• Precautionary Statements: Phrases that list recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or 

prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure to a hazardous chemical or improper storage or handling. One 

example of a precautionary statement would be “Keep away from heat, flames, sparks. No Smoking.” 

• Pictograms: Icons that appear in a small red boxThere are eight different pictograms, and one or more 

might appear on a label; each one helps you quickly identify the specific type of hazard associated with the 

product. We will be covering the meanings of the eight pictograms in greater detail during upcoming toolbox 

talks. 

• Name, Address, and Telephone Number of the chemical manufacturer, importer, or other responsible party. 

Thank You for attending the Safety Huddle, please let Us know how we can improve our Safety Culture here on our job 

site. Your thoughts and suggestions are very important, and we’d like to hear from you. Please add a few additional 

Safety concerns that we can address in our next safety meeting. 

Thank You

HAZCOM 

OSHA’s Revised Haz-Com Standard – Flame Pictogram Labels 


OSHA recently revised their Hazard Communication Standard to align with the international “Globally 

Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals”, commonly referred to as “GHS”. As a result, 

manufacturers and distributors of hazards chemicals and products must begin standardizing their container 

labels to display new features called “Pictograms”. These are eight different icons used to depict distinct 

hazards associated with their products. Some products may have only one or two of the eight pictograms 

displayed on their labels, whereas more complex products may have multiple pictograms appearing on their 

label when the product presents multiple safety or health hazards. 

Today we will discuss the specific pictogram that depicts a “Flame” (see this pictogram provided on the 

handout provided with this toolbox talk). As the picture implies, this “Flame” Pictogram is associated with 

products and chemicals that are flammable or combustible. But it also appears on the label of pyrophoric 

materials, which in a gaseous state will ignite spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit 

or below, as well as all self-heating materials, materials that emit flammable gas, self-reactive materials, and 

organic peroxides. 

When you see a label with the Pictogram depicting the “Flame” on a label, refer to the hazard statement(s) 

that appear on the label too, as it can provide more information about the level of hazard you are dealing 

with. And also pay particular attention to the Precautionary Statements appearing on the label too, as they list 

recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent fires and explosions resulting from 

improper storage, use, or handling of the product or chemical. Examples of precautionary statements that 

may accompany the “Flame” Pictogram are “Keep away from heat, flames, sparks”, “Do not store near open 

flames or sources of high heat”, and/or “No Smoking.” Additional information about safe use and storage is 

also available on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product. 

This particular pictogram should help you quickly identify potential fire and explosion hazards associated with 

some of the products we use here at work (if possible, give specific examples of such products present at your 

job site.

Thank You


HAZCOM 

OSHA’s Revised Haz-Com Standard – Flame Over Circle Pictogram 


Today we will discuss the specific pictogram that depicts a “Flame Over Circle” (see this pictogram provided on the 

handout provided with this toolbox talk,). This Pictogram is specific to solids, liquids, and gasses that are classified as 

“Oxidizers”. DO NOT confuse this pictogram with the similar-looking “Flame” Pictogram discussed in an earlier toolbox 

talk, as that one identifies products and chemicals that are flammable. So what is an Oxidizer? Oxidizers are gasses, such 

as oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, which cause any combustible material (like wood or gasoline) to burn much more 

rapidly or intensely than normal. There are also oxidizing liquids such as perchloric acid and bromine, as well as oxidizing 

solids like strontium peroxide and aluminum nitrate, that have the same effect. 

So, when you see a label with the Pictogram depicting the “Flame Over Circle” on a label, refer to the hazard 

statement(s) that appear on the label, as it can provide more information about the level of hazard you are dealing with. 

And also pay particular attention to the Precautionary Statements appearing on the label too, as they list recommended 

measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent fires and explosions resulting from improper storage, use, or 

handling of the product or chemical. Examples of precautionary statements that may accompany the “Flame Over 

Circle” Pictogram are “Store only in well-ventilated areas”, “Do not store near flammable gasses or liquids”, and/or 

“Keep away from oil and grease.” Additional information about safe use and storage of an Oxidizer is also available on 

the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the product. 

This particular pictogram should help you quickly recognize potentially hazardous associated with products that are 

Oxidizers (if possible, give specific examples of such products present at your job site). OSHA has given manufacturers 

and importers of hazardous products until June 1, 2015 to make the full transition to the new labeling requirements, so 

you may not see Pictograms on labels of all containers until the transition to the revised labeling requirements are fully 

implemented. In the meantime, start to watch for the “Flame Over Circle” Pictogram that identifies Oxidizers to appear 

on some container labels here at work, and heed the warnings and specific precautions provided for use of that product.

Today we will discuss the “Skull and Crossbones” pictogram that identifies acute and potentially fatal toxicity 

hazards (see this pictogram provided on the handout provided with this toolbox talk, we recommend making 

copies for each trainee). This Pictogram is specific to certain chemicals that, depending on the toxicity of the 

chemical, indicate that the chemical may be highly toxic (poisonous) or fatal if swallowed, if contact is made 

with skin, and/or if it is inhaled. 

So, when you see a Pictogram depicting a “Skull and Crossbones” on a product label, refer to the hazard 

statement(s) that appear on that label too. The toxic effects of the material you are working with may vary, 

from acutely toxic to potentially fatal. The hazard statements can provide more information about the level of 

hazard you are dealing with, as well as the chemical’s route(s) of entry into your body and the particular 

organ(s) targeted by the chemical. 

And pay particular attention to the Precautionary Statements appearing on the label too, as they list 

recommended measures that should be taken to minimize the potential for developing an acute (relatively 

quick) reaction resulting from use or handling of the toxic product. Examples of precautionary statements that 

may accompany products bearing the “Skull and Crossbones” Pictogram on the label are “Do not eat, drink or 

smoke when using this product”, “Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing”, “Do not breathe 

dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray”, and/or “Wear protective gloves/protective clothing”. Additional 

information about precautions to follow and safe use of these products is also available on their Safety Data 

Sheet (SDS). 

This particular pictogram should help you quickly recognize potentially hazardous associated with products 

that are highly toxic (if possible, give specific examples of such products present at your job site). OSHA has 

given manufacturers and importers of hazardous products until June 1, 2015 to make the full transition to the 

new labeling requirements. So in the meantime, start to watch for the “Skull and Crossbones” Pictogram to 

appear on some of the container labels here at work, and heed the warnings and specific precautions provided 

for use of that product. 




Thank You
