WEBVTT

79
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
I would
like to turn this session over
to

80
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Jeff Brewer.

81
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:14.000
>> My name is Jeff Brewer, EM CX
I'm

82
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
with the U.S. Carme -- Army
Corps of Engineers. I would like
to welcome

83
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
everyone to our third webinar.

84
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Of this year. This webinar is
action and reporting. We

85
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:32.000
have three speakers today. I
would like to remind everyone

86
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:38.934
coming up in February it should
be our next webinar. The

87
00:00:38.934 --> 00:00:51.000
that is going to be --

88
00:00:51.000 --> 00:01:00.000
we have a toolkit that is coming
out.

89
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.000
With all that being said I would
like to introduce Kellie

90
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Williams, USACE HNC. Her
presentation will be on action

91
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:16.000
and reporting.

92
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
>> Good afternoon. As Jeff said
my name is Kellie Williams,
USACE

93
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:33.934
HNC. I'm the chief of safety at
the Huntsville center.

94
00:01:33.934 --> 00:01:36.934
Just to give you a background I
am working in the safety

95
00:01:36.934 --> 00:01:38.934
and occupational health arena
for over 30 years. 27 have been
with

96
00:01:38.934 --> 00:01:41.934
the Corps of Engineers hear the
Huntsville center. During this
time

97
00:01:41.934 --> 00:01:46.000
I supported the OE programs,
conventional and chemical
warfare.

98
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.000
I've supported many of the other
programs that we have here at
the

99
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.000
Huntsville center. I have been
the chief of safety

100
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.000
for a little over two years.

101
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.000
Today I was asked to discuss the
mishap

102
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.000
reporting requirement.

103
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:19.000
As required by the Corps of
Engineers.

104
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:24.000
About the next 45 minutes I will
try to

105
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:33.000
discuss mishap reporting's in
accordance with

106
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.934
USACE requiring's. I will talk
about the lines you need to
adhere

107
00:02:34.934 --> 00:02:38.934
to and several lessons learned
from recent Huntsville accidents

108
00:02:38.934 --> 00:02:45.000
to include three board of
investigations

109
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:54.000
from serious accidents and three
mishaps that occurred

110
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.000
on ordinance and explosive
sites. I will talk about

111
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.000
how we report lessons learned. I
will conclude with a summary of

112
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:08.000
HNC contractor accidents to give
you a summary of what has
happened.

113
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:13.000
Trying to get used to changing
the slides. I apologize for the

114
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:29.000
rough start here.

115
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.000
Most importantly all mishaps for
the Corps of Engineers are
reportable.

116
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.000
It is the format and the
timeline that change. That
really depends

117
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.000
on the severity of the mishap.
The information that I will talk
about

118
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.000
today comes from two references
you should remember. You guys
all

119
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.000
probably know EM three 11. Right
now we are under the one that
was

120
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000
dated November 2014. If you go
to section 01 D, that is where
most

121
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:58.000
of the mishap reporting
requirements come from.

122
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:01.000
Section 1 talks about the
requirements for training and
what kind of awareness

123
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.000
training each individual needs
to have. I will talk about that
in

124
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.000
a few minutes. We have the
engineering regulation ER
385-1-99. That is

125
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:14.000
the accident and investigation
reporting regulation.

126
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
The latest version is in 2010.
It still has good information
that

127
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.000
you should look at.

128
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
Before I get too much further
into the actual reported
requirements

129
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.000
I want to highlight what some of
the training requirements are
for

130
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:33.000
mishap reporting and
investigation pending both of
these

131
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.934
documents. If you look in
section 3.2 of the engineering
regulation

132
00:04:36.934 --> 00:04:47.000
it discusses why to investigate
and report and what the training

133
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.000
requirements are for supervisors
and the flight safety and health

134
00:04:49.000 --> 00:05:02.000
officer. If you go to section
3-4. property damage as

135
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.000
the result of vandalism and
riots and civil disorders or
something

136
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:21.000
like an arson event. Or if your
property damage that occurs

137
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.000
after property has been
[ indiscernible ]. That is
nonreportable. If you

138
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.000
are not sure when you are on the
site the ER is a great document

139
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.000
to go to the talks about
different things that occur.
Accidents are

140
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.000
always real clearcut. If you go
to appendix C it talks about
reporting

141
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.934
requirements per 1904. I
recommend going to the OSHA
reporting requirements

142
00:05:35.934 --> 00:05:40.934
on that. This ER hasn't been
updated since 2010.

143
00:05:40.934 --> 00:05:42.934
Both references discuss that
employee supervisors and the
site safety

144
00:05:42.934 --> 00:05:50.000
and health officers are all
required for some degree of
training for

145
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.000
accident investigation and
reporting.

146
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.000
It is important this is done
upfront.

147
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.000
So that everybody knows what
they are required to do in the
unfortunate

148
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:11.000
event that an accident does
occur.

149
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.000
Indoctrination training it is
required to include a discussion
for both

150
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:14.000
employee and supervisor
responsibilities.

151
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.000
For reporting and for the
investigations.

152
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:20.000
Per the EM the person conducting
the training for the induction
nation

153
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.000
-- they need to know what the
requirements

154
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.000
are and how they train the
supervisors and the employees on
these

155
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:40.934
requirements. They need to know
what the

156
00:06:40.934 --> 00:06:43.934
usage requirements are and the
correct forms that are required
and where

157
00:06:43.934 --> 00:06:46.000
they are located. What the
timelines are for reporting and
who to report

158
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000
the information to. Depending on
the type of accident that
occurs.

159
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.000
And be trained in the proper way
to investigate an accident. A
lot

160
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:57.000
of times we get accident reports
from

161
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.000
three 394's that don't give us
the complete information that we

162
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.000
need for our statistics and for
our lessons learned. The trainer

163
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:14.000
needs to know the accident
investigation shall

164
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.000
be recorded on the three 394.
For the Huntsville center we
have a

165
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.000
revision. There are other
revisions out there but we like
to see it

166
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.000
on revision 2. This form has a
specific field we want to
complete the information

167
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.000
on that. The contractor must
complete a planning Larry

168
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.000
-- preliminary act of
notification.

169
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:37.934
For the Huntsville center are
GDA

170
00:07:37.934 --> 00:07:43.934
that is referred to in the EM
3511 is the contracting

171
00:07:43.934 --> 00:07:49.000
officer. I recommend you look in
your scope to see who

172
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.000
that is.

173
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:56.000
If you don't know it's a good
idea to send it to the

174
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.000
KO and to the p.m. and the
safety representative. If you

175
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.000
know who all three of those are.

176
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:08.000
Accidents in the Corps of
Engineers

177
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:19.000
and for other purposes are
investigated for lessons
learned.

178
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:22.000
You need to share with all
workers and contractors to help
ensure similar

179
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.000
acts do not occur. We need to
make sure we have the proper
information

180
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.000
on all of those forms. This
slide talks about the mishap.
What is

181
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.000
the definition of a mishap.

182
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:48.000
It's pretty simple. Like I said
in the incident that happens,

183
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.000
during the course of work being
performed has to be reported in

184
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.000
some cases. The ones I will talk
about today are recordable, high

185
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.000
hazard, first aid cases, and
near misses. Those all have a
type of

186
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:05.000
reporting that has to be done
and timelines that have to be
met.

187
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:12.000
Here is the definition of
reportable.

188
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.000
If you look at the ER talks
about a recordable meets any of

189
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:27.000
the classes capital letter a-
E.

190
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:32.000
The most important thing on this
line,

191
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.934
these are the type of accidents
that we put in our

192
00:09:37.934 --> 00:09:42.934
dart [ indiscernible ] that we
have to give up to headquarters.

193
00:09:42.934 --> 00:09:50.000
What differentiates these, they
each have a dollar

194
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.000
amount. You have to start at a
threshold of $5000 per class.
Then you go

195
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.000
up as you go up.

196
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:02.000
You can read what is in red. If
you look at a class B, those are

197
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:11.000
recordable.

198
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.000
You have to do the 3394. The
class C means the threshold of
the board

199
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.000
of investigation. There are more
requirements that we have to do

200
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:23.000
given that. That's when the
difference is there.

201
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:29.000
For the Huntsville center, in
accordance with ER three

202
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:40.934
385-1- --

203
00:10:40.934 --> 00:10:43.934
they have different ways for you
to notify them. This is the

204
00:10:43.934 --> 00:10:46.000
Huntsville center. It gives them
the preliminary information they

205
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.000
need to start accident process.

206
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.000
You can find this worksheet on
our safety office Internet. I
have the

207
00:10:51.000 --> 00:11:05.000
link there at the bottom of this
slide.

208
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.000
During the development of your
actual prevention plan it's
important

209
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:10.000
that you determine what method
of notification is for whatever
district

210
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.000
you are working for. And ensure
that any [ indiscernible ], that

211
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.000
you define not. A lot of times
we do not get this

212
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.000
information. We do not get it in
a timely matter.

213
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.000
It is important we have this.
There are

214
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.000
timelines associated with it.
For information we are in

215
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:35.934
the process of updating our
3394.

216
00:11:35.934 --> 00:11:43.934
When it is finalized it is in
the format

217
00:11:43.934 --> 00:11:49.667
that it is now. It will be a

218
00:11:49.667 --> 00:11:58.567
universal form for all
mishap reporting. To

219
00:11:58.567 --> 00:12:11.100
include preliminary information
When you look at the preliminary

220
00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:17.100
notification form and has some

221
00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:26.000
information like date
of birth. If it's not

222
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.000
blanked out it should be.

223
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.000
Those kind of things don't need
to be on there.

224
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.934
The form hasn't been updated
yet.

225
00:12:34.934 --> 00:12:39.934
Any questions on that should be
directed to your contract. We

226
00:12:39.934 --> 00:12:46.000
will get that contract.

227
00:12:46.000 --> 00:13:00.000
Here is the version
[ indiscernible ] for the 3394.

228
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.000
I know this sounds pretty
simplistic.

229
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:04.000
It's important that you fill it
out completely and accurately.
Attach

230
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.000
all the information that needs
to be attached. The form
provides more

231
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:15.000
specific information than the
pin --

232
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:22.000
PAN we just talked about

233
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:30.000
we have to send it back. Again

234
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.000
this is what we use for our
accident statistics. Information
is used

235
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.000
to determine what we need to
change. If we don't have
accurate information

236
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:52.000
it is hard to make informed
decisions

237
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.000
based on stuff we don't have
good information on.

238
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000
It's important that this form is
filled out completely and
accurately.

239
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:01.000
The next slide, I just took a
screenshot of the back side of
C. Some of the

240
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:06.000
things I see all the time that
are being filled out, if you
look on

241
00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:14.000
the top right, do you have an
AHA for the job?

242
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.000
Yes, attach a copy but they
don't attach a copy. If the
answer is

243
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.000
no, should there have been one?

244
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.000
You should say part of the
action is taken

245
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:29.000
as we completed one. Sometimes I
can have an AHA for every little

246
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:37.934
thing on site.

247
00:14:37.934 --> 00:14:39.934
Was a person trained in the
activity?

248
00:14:39.934 --> 00:14:45.000
Then you talk about that. Fill
it out. If it was yes you go to
be

249
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
and then see. These are things
we do not get what we

250
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:54.000
get our 3394's. It takes time to
go back and forth with the
contractor

251
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.000
to get this information.

252
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:00.000
In 13 the meat of it is what is
a direct

253
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.000
cause of the indirect cause?
What are you doing to eliminate
the hazard

254
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.000
from happening again? I try to
bring this up.

255
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:17.000
We still have issues with this.

256
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.000
There is the definition of both
of those on there. We don't

257
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:29.100
need any PII.

258
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:40.934
The form hasn't on there.

259
00:15:40.934 --> 00:15:57.000
You are required to protect your
employees PII and PHI.

260
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:09.000
Try not to send this to us. We
don't need that information.

261
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:12.000
A lot of times we do not get the
accident report in

262
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:21.000
a timely manner. If you look at
ER 351 -- 99

263
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:29.000
we have 45 days to get all of
the information gathered into

264
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.000
have it signed. You would think
that would be simple and there
should

265
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.934
not be a problem with that. We
generally do not meet that
timeline. The Huntsville

266
00:16:36.934 --> 00:16:38.934
center has done a work
instruction where

267
00:16:38.934 --> 00:16:42.934
we required a little bit sooner
than that. If you look on the
top

268
00:16:42.934 --> 00:16:49.000
line you see from the time the
mishap occurs we have a
requirement

269
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.000
to get it done within 12 days.

270
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:58.000
To get to the Huntsville center.

271
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:04.000
If you look down box on the
bottom it says

272
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.000
creates the sign. For the
Huntsville center we do it a
little bit differently.

273
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:24.000
On line 15 -- that the corporate
safety has

274
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:28.000
looked at it and done quality
control on that before they send
it forward.

275
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:33.934
We have four times that it has
to go through.

276
00:17:33.934 --> 00:17:35.934
It has to go to the chief of
safety up to the commander. That

277
00:17:35.934 --> 00:17:39.934
takes a while to get done.
That's why the Huntsville center
-- one

278
00:17:39.934 --> 00:17:45.000
of the reasons they wanted
sooner than 45 days. The 45 days
by regulation

279
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:50.000
is to have it signed.

280
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.000
What you have to do is some of
the reporting requirements. When
you

281
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.000
have a mishap if it is a class C
or lower

282
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:09.000
you have 24 hours to notify the
GDA. From there,

283
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.000
if you have a high hazard which
we will

284
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.000
talk about in a few minutes or a
class a or class B ask you need

285
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.000
to do the immediate
notification.

286
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.000
I encourage you to pick up the
phone and call him back it up
with an

287
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:34.934
email.

288
00:18:34.934 --> 00:18:38.934
Sometimes we will get the
contractor to send it to the
p.m. I recommend

289
00:18:38.934 --> 00:18:40.934
you send it to the p.m. the KO
and the safety. Just so they can
get

290
00:18:40.934 --> 00:18:43.934
it. Sometimes an accident occurs
on a weekend or a holiday or
when

291
00:18:43.934 --> 00:18:47.000
the TM isn't there. It's good to
know because there are reporting

292
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.000
requirements we have to go to
the commander to let them know.
The

293
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.000
more people you can let know the
better off you are. Once that
immediate

294
00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:02.000
notification is done, we need
that within seven days.

295
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.000
We need the PAN worksheet. That
gives us enough information to

296
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.000
start our [ indiscernible ]
document. After

297
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:16.000
that [ indiscernible ] between
the time

298
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:21.000
you submit the PAN to get the
3394 to your GDA

299
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:37.000
in Huntsville center.

300
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:45.000
We try to get it to not take any
longer than five

301
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.000
days. We want to know you are
looking into the accident while
it is still

302
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.000
fresh and on your mind. To
figure out the direct cause and
how you

303
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.000
will control it. It's better to
get that done. It gives us a
little

304
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.000
bit of time to send it back and
forth if we need to before we
set

305
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.000
it up for signature. The
timeline is important to get
done. Here is

306
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
the definition of a class a or
class B accident. These require
immediate

307
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:18.000
notifications to the Huntsville
center. Or to any

308
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.000
-- wherever your district is. To
the KO into

309
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.000
the p.m. It's important this is
done. This is a severe accident.

310
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.000
We have steps that need to be
done after this. If you have an
accident

311
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.000
where you have a fatality or a
permanent partial disability, or
three more

312
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
people go to the hospital, or
you have an accident with a high
dollar

313
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.934
amount for property damage, that
would be a class a --

314
00:20:38.934 --> 00:20:48.000
A or class B.

315
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.000
I would encourage you to train
that if it is a severe accident

316
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:58.000
you want to treat it as a class
A

317
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.000
or class B.

318
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:12.000
After it has settled down

319
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.000
you need to preserve the scene.

320
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.000
It should not be disturbed so we
can do an accident
investigation.

321
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.000
After all the emergency measures
have been taken

322
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:25.000
care of preserve the site and
secure it.

323
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:32.000
We will probably have to do an
investigation. Which is a formal

324
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.934
board that we have to get a
general officer

325
00:21:34.934 --> 00:21:38.934
to sign off on. We will start
investigating that with a panel.
Then it talks

326
00:21:38.934 --> 00:21:47.000
about any of these requirements,
this is just

327
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.000
a forum of engineers. You have
other OSHA requirements to
notify

328
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:58.000
also. You should be aware of
that.

329
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:09.000
Just to summarize in

330
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.000
another format of what I have
tried to say. If you look at the
different

331
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.000
classes, these are recordable
accidents.

332
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:25.000
If you have an A or BU do any --
immediate notification.

333
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.000
You do the PAN within seven
days.

334
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:34.934
Then there will be a BOI. We
have 45 days to

335
00:22:34.934 --> 00:22:38.934
get that done. That is the Corps
of Engineers investigation. If
you

336
00:22:38.934 --> 00:22:49.000
go -- get a C and a D, you have
24 hours

337
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.000
to notify us. Then you have
seven days to get the PAN in.
There will

338
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:02.000
not be a BOI. You have 45 days
per regulation.

339
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:08.000
If you go to section 01 D 05 311

340
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:13.000
you will see that they have in
high hazard activities. They

341
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:29.000
want to know whether or not
there was an injury or property

342
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:34.000
damage. If any of these occur in
these high hazard activities
there

343
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.000
is required to be immediate
notification to whatever your
POC is. I have

344
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.000
Huntsville center. I apologize
for that. We are required by
regulation

345
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.000
to give written investigation to
headquarters

346
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:59.000
within 10 days. At the
Huntsville center

347
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.000
we will get that verbal
notification from a

348
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:04.000
contractor and then we will
decide with them whether we will
investigate

349
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.000
it or they are going to
investigate it. At some point
that report will

350
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:18.000
have to go up to headquarters.
That is something

351
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.000
-- that a lot of contractors are
not aware of. For the Huntsville

352
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.000
center it depends on the
severity of the accident.
Whether we will

353
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.000
asked the contractor to do a
detailed investigation and send
the information

354
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:33.000
to us. Either way the contractor
is required to notify the GDA
day

355
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:34.934
-- within 24 hours of the
accident. And to do

356
00:24:34.934 --> 00:24:37.934
an investigation. Huntsville
center is required to submit it
to headquarters

357
00:24:37.934 --> 00:24:49.000
within 10 days. We need a little
bit of time in there to do the
report.

358
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.000
Before we go further on to
headquarters. The other one I
want

359
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:59.000
to highlight is near misses. If
you going to

360
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:11.000
EM 3511 all near misses are
required to be reported.

361
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:16.000
Given a shift in time or
position damage or injury may
have occurred.

362
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:23.000
For example if you have a crane
[ indiscernible ] and nearly
misses

363
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:28.000
a parked car or if the worker
falls off of a scaffolding but
is not

364
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:32.000
his -- injured those would be
near misses.

365
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:47.000
Each district has a different
form to report their Mrs.

366
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.000
Huntsville's near miss form is
located on the safety officer

367
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:54.000
site. I will show you that in a
few minutes. It's important that

368
00:25:54.000 --> 00:26:06.000
you report near misses.

369
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:16.000
It is imperative that as a

370
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:18.000
community of practices that all
the contractors provide this
information

371
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:23.000
to us so we can have some
statistics on this and send it
out.

372
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:29.000
I encourage you to do that. It
is a requirement in the EM 3511.

373
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:45.067
Another one, first aid cases I
personally

374
00:26:45.067 --> 00:26:54.000
at the Huntsville center don't
want to see all your first aid
treatment.

375
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:57.000
It is required in the EM 3511.
Treatments will be maintained
and submitted

376
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.000
to the GDA upon request. You
should be keeping track of that.
That is

377
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.000
specific. You to talk about the
employee's name and the job
title.

378
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:06.000
You should be accumulating a
list of that. It should be
analyzed by

379
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:15.000
the SS [NULL] per the EM.

380
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.000
If I come out on site or one of
my

381
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.000
staff comes out on-site they may
want to look at that to see what

382
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.000
is going on. Other than that I
don't need to see the first aid
cases

383
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:29.000
submitted every time. Just be
kept on file per the EM. Just to
summarize,

384
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.000
the purpose of investigating the
mishap is

385
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:45.000
to learn from the accident and
to share information.

386
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.000
And two Neil Feist, HGL
regulation updates. One thing I
have done in

387
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.000
the two years I have been here,
depending on the severity of the

388
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:59.000
accident or if I have a
reoccurring type of accident

389
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.000
I am asking my staff to develop
lessons learned

390
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.000
for contractor mishaps. We have
a small library of lessons
learned.

391
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:08.000
On the agency Internet site.
There is a location there you
can go and

392
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.000
look at that. It is important.

393
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.000
We are requiring you to give us
this information. That way we
have

394
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:17.000
some kind of way to share this
information and you can learn
from what went

395
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:20.000
on somewhere else. Here is the
website.

396
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:26.000
It is the Internet site. If you
should go to our leg

397
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:36.934
-- regular home page.

398
00:28:36.934 --> 00:28:39.934
The right-hand side shows my
list of lessons learned that I
have developed

399
00:28:39.934 --> 00:28:42.934
right now. On the left-hand side
he gives you a list of
information.

400
00:28:42.934 --> 00:28:47.000
If you want to know without
having to search for it.

401
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:50.000
You can go to the safety
regulation site. It also goes
into the investigations

402
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:56.000
for the Department of Army 380
540.

403
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.000
Then you go down to accident
reporting. These are the slide
specific

404
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:14.000
stuff. Not that we are talking
about it here today.

405
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.000
These worksheets can be found
here. We try to keep the

406
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:17.000
website updated. As much as
possible.

407
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:28.000
It's usually pretty current
information that you can find
here.

408
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:31.000
Now for the remainder of the
time I want to go into a little
bit of

409
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:38.033
sharing information on some

410
00:29:38.033 --> 00:29:48.000
things that happened.
I will discuss

411
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.000
three accidents that occurred
that required a board of
investigation.

412
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:53.000
Two were from an ordinance at an
explosive site. One was on a
maintenance

413
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.000
and service project that we had.

414
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.000
I feel like the lessons learned
could roll over to a OE site
pretty

415
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.000
easily. I will not spend a lot
of time on these. I want to
highlight

416
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.000
what occurred, and bring up a
few of the lessons learned that

417
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:16.000
we got from them. The first one
was a fatality. It was a

418
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.000
subcontractor employee that was
working on a maintenance and
service

419
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:33.000
contracts that we have. He was
investigating or troubleshooting

420
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.934
elevator doors. For some reason
they were not working. He was
trying

421
00:30:35.934 --> 00:30:37.934
to figure out what was going on.

422
00:30:37.934 --> 00:30:40.934
He was taking his meter to see
what was going on. He had
stopped the

423
00:30:40.934 --> 00:30:41.934
elevator from going up and down.

424
00:30:41.934 --> 00:30:45.000
He was inside trying to check on
what was going on. By himself,
actually

425
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.000
he did not have any PPE that he
should have been wearing for the

426
00:30:49.000 --> 00:31:00.000
job. He had a metal flashlight
that was in his mouth. He had on

427
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:06.000
a metal watch. He was going to
check 120 volt. In the end it
was

428
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:17.000
a fatality. 120 volts.

429
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.000
Based on the autopsy they don't
know the traveling of how the
electricity

430
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.000
traveled. It was enough to get
him.

431
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.000
Basically what happened was he
wasn't wearing the required
[ indiscernible ]

432
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:28.000
flash for 120 volt. He had on
metal that he shouldn't have had

433
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:39.934
on. Again AHA's weren't not
required.

434
00:31:39.934 --> 00:31:42.934
I think everybody will say I
have

435
00:31:42.934 --> 00:31:47.000
probably worked on 120 volt.
Remember it's not the voltage
it's the current

436
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.000
that can kill you.

437
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.000
The next one, we had a fatality.
A subcontractor

438
00:31:54.000 --> 00:32:01.000
was detonating a 40 millimeter

439
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.000
projected grenade. They were
assisting and some kind of a
clearance. And

440
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:12.000
excavating the anomalies.

441
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.000
They were probing and
excavating. The project

442
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.000
was going on for a long period
of time. It was hot and
demanding.

443
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:27.000
What actually happened was
[ indiscernible ]
cause the death

444
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:33.000
of the employee. The direct
cause was human error.

445
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:41.934
Some of the contributing factors
or the indirect causes or
complacency,

446
00:32:41.934 --> 00:32:45.000
probably exertion due to
physical demands. They were not
getting enough

447
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.000
brakes. That is what the BOI
found.

448
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:50.000
They needed to increase
personnel change out and improve
training

449
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:57.000
for that. That was a fatality on
site.

450
00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.000
On one of our chemical warfare
material

451
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:06.000
sites we were doing a project
that was actually low
probability.

452
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.000
If any of you have done CWM.

453
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:16.000
There still could be chemical
agent in the soil. They were
excavating

454
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:21.000
soil and not wearing any kind of
respirator. Or they did not have

455
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:37.000
dermal protection.

456
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:45.000
I feel like and I was not on the
board of investigation

457
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.000
for this, but I feel like there
was some complacency. They were

458
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:49.000
using the monitoring for CWM.
They were not getting any
detection on

459
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:51.000
this. They felt like everything
was okay. Actually what was
happening

460
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.000
was the workers were
encountering odors. They were
not telling their

461
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:59.000
supervisors. The minicamps were
ringing off. They did not get
trained

462
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:08.000
they should let them know.

463
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.000
They continue to work when the
odor was going on. In the end
three

464
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.000
of them became sick and were
transported to the hospital. The
BOI could not

465
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.000
determine what they were exposed
to. They eliminated CWM. There

466
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:20.000
are other things out there that
can make you sick. You need to
make

467
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:24.000
sure that you have the proper
PPE and all

468
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.000
the right controls for the
project that is going on. Make
sure any

469
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:35.934
time you dig a hole, if workers
noticed an

470
00:34:35.934 --> 00:34:38.934
odor that is unusual that they
stop working let their
supervisors know

471
00:34:38.934 --> 00:34:43.934
so you can determine the best
path forward on that one.

472
00:34:43.934 --> 00:34:48.000
Now I will discuss a couple of
mishaps. These are not the
severity

473
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:51.000
of the BOI's.

474
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:57.000
It's a mixture of things that
have happened recently.

475
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:12.000
First one we had a mishap on a
site

476
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:16.000
a contractor was stung by
approximately 26 times by
Yellowjackets while

477
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:20.000
he was performing a surface
sweep in a remote

478
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:29.000
area. At first the employee was
stable but then the conditions
worsened.

479
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.000
I guess it took approximately 50
minutes to get the employee back

480
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.934
to the office. Were first aid
procedures were applied. EMS
arrived shortly

481
00:35:34.934 --> 00:35:43.934
after at the office and gave the
employee some medicine and some

482
00:35:43.934 --> 00:35:48.000
steroids. Within four hours he
was released to return to work.
When

483
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:52.000
you are in a very remote area,
just

484
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:58.000
a reminder that remote areas
require first aid attendance in
a kit.

485
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.000
When medical services are not
accessible within five minutes

486
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:09.000
of a work location and there are
two or more employees

487
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.000
at the location at least two or
more employees shall be
qualified

488
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:17.000
to administer first aid and CPR.

489
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.000
We are checking to make sure you
have

490
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.000
a first-aid attendant for CPR.
We do not know always when we
are reviewing

491
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.000
this.

492
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:30.000
If you have two of those and
they are sitting back at the
field trailer

493
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.934
and you have two were threes --
or three remote sites you want

494
00:36:33.934 --> 00:36:37.934
to make sure they are complying
with the requirements. Some
other

495
00:36:37.934 --> 00:36:42.934
things that were found, somebody

496
00:36:42.934 --> 00:36:52.000
recommended they carry wasp
spray at all times.

497
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.000
And that the AHA did not
identify that. Any AHA that

498
00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:07.000
you submit to the Huntsville
Center may not identify all

499
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:10.000
of the steps. You may find other
hazards. It is a living
document.

500
00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.000
If you know there is another
hazard in their you should make
sure that

501
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:16.000
you identify that in your AHA.

502
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:19.000
This is for the workers. The
last line of defense. They
should be

503
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:24.000
reviewing this and saying that
is what I have to have on-site.

504
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:33.000
The second mishap that I will
talk about is involving you TV.

505
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:38.934
A project truck was rear ended.

506
00:37:38.934 --> 00:37:49.000
While the pair of vehicles was
turning onto the work

507
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.000
compound near the end of the
work shift. The collision caused
damage

508
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:57.000
to both vehicles and resulted a
minor injury to the UV driver.

509
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:08.000
It was late afternoon and there
was some glare. There was
unnecessarily

510
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:10.000
-- unnecessary vehicle traffic
and following distance. It
seemed like

511
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:16.000
the police escort might have
compounded the issue. The escort
policy

512
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.000
added vehicle traffic to the
site. You

513
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:21.000
might just rethink some things.

514
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:24.000
It was a good idea.

515
00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:30.000
What we found was these were the
outcomes.

516
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:33.934
The operator did have first aid
treatment.

517
00:38:33.934 --> 00:38:42.934
There was damage to the you PV
and the truck.

518
00:38:42.934 --> 00:38:47.000
In this case we did not get the
report. We found out about

519
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:53.000
it later. It's very important
that you do notify us. The
damage to

520
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:57.000
the vehicle was more than the
threshold that was required.

521
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:02.000
What we found was that the
operator did

522
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.000
not have formal training. If you
look at

523
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:22.000
section 18 a every person
operating a

524
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:27.000
UPV shall be qualified and
designated by the employer to
operate

525
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:28.000
such equipment. That wasn't
done.

526
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:31.000
That was a process they were
working on changing. And that
the AHA did

527
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:35.934
not address that. They went back
and revisited that. The last
mishap

528
00:39:35.934 --> 00:39:41.934
I want to talk about was loss of
consciousness.

529
00:39:41.934 --> 00:39:50.000
Two coworkers were talking

530
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.000
and somebody lost consciousness
and hit their head on the table.

531
00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:01.000
Had a laceration to their face
and then was hospitalized.

532
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.000
The L'Anse of consciousness was
determined

533
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:09.000
to be to a health condition. Is
this a reportable incident? It
is

534
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:18.000
reportable. It isn't recordable.

535
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.000
Because it was a pre-existing
condition. In there it talks
about

536
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.000
where you can find that
reference.

537
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:29.000
That was something that happened
from a pre-existing condition.

538
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:45.067
In summary, remember

539
00:40:45.067 --> 00:40:51.000
that both the EM and the AR have
training requirements for the
supervisors

540
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.000
and safety health officers
employees on accident reporting
investigations.

541
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:55.000
And that the purpose of accident
reporting is to gather
information

542
00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:01.000
to prevent similar access from
reoccurring.

543
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.000
We have a collection of lessons
learned on

544
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:06.000
the Internet to view. We use the
statistics to change the EM
which

545
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.000
is currently up for revision. If
we get that information on the
accident

546
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:16.000
form we have more information to
make

547
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.000
decisions. I encourage you to
fill them out as thoroughly and
completely

548
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:27.000
as possible. Not only for good
information, but it is required
in the EM.

549
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.000
There are timelines associated
with the mishaps I went over
today.

550
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.934
If you're not sure what they are
you can read the EM section 1.
It

551
00:41:34.934 --> 00:41:37.934
talks about a preclear.

552
00:41:37.934 --> 00:41:39.934
If you are not sure I would
recommend you contact

553
00:41:39.934 --> 00:41:40.934
your safety office POC for that.

554
00:41:40.934 --> 00:41:50.000
Timeliness is very important in
the reporting.

555
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:59.000
This slide did not turn out.
What I was trying to show here
was,

556
00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:08.000
I had a list of all of our

557
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:16.000
accents -- accidents that have
occurred.

558
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:21.000
What I was trying to show here
was our number one mishap for FY
18

559
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.000
was cut.

560
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:35.934
I think we had seven out of 29
if I remember right.

561
00:42:35.934 --> 00:42:38.934
We get lacerations to the thumb,
leg and the face and

562
00:42:38.934 --> 00:42:49.000
to most body parts. We are
finding it is due to improper
use or placement

563
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:59.000
of a tool. Or not using the
proper PPE. Our second injury
that occurs

564
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.000
is a fall from the same level.
When we look at that

565
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:06.000
we are having uncapped work
areas or environmental called --
causes.

566
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:10.000
The other thing I wanted to
point out which is important to
point

567
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:23.000
out is that we have had to heat
stress cases

568
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.000
in the Huntsville Center in the
FY 18. It is important to
remember

569
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:29.000
you have to have a heat stress
program that you implement in
the field.

570
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:33.067
Whether you are putting someone
in the [ indiscernible ]. At
some

571
00:43:33.067 --> 00:43:41.000
point you're required to trigger
that heat stress.

572
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:44.000
I know for chemical warfare
material sites they have
programs and it

573
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:49.000
is very regimented. I'm not sure
for conventional. If you don't
you

574
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:54.000
should have that.

575
00:43:54.000 --> 00:44:01.000
>> I Should have the image up.
Can you see it on the screen?

576
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:08.000
>> No ma'am. It came up for a
second.

577
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.000
>> We Do have a temporary
placement.

578
00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:17.000
The audience can see it.

579
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.000
The screen is up there. When
you're ready to

580
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.000
move on I will take down this
temporary fix.

581
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.000
>> I Will try to keep talking.

582
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:33.000
If you notice on the bottom left
the one thing I wanted

583
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:36.934
to point out was that HNC has
experienced more contractor

584
00:44:36.934 --> 00:44:50.000
accidents.

585
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.000
The EM clearly discusses that
the prime is responsible for

586
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.000
all workers on site. I want to
remind you guys as prime
contractors watch

587
00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:59.000
out for your subcontractors. If
they have an accident that comes

588
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:03.000
back up, it is important that
you are managing

589
00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.000
those subs as much as your own
workers.

590
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:07.000
We don't want anyone to get
hurt.

591
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:16.000
Finally on the top right you

592
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:19.000
have the safety triangle.

593
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:26.000
I wanted to point that out. We
have had two fatalities.

594
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:32.000
29 injuries recordable.

595
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:41.934
And maybe six near misses on
that triangle. If you go back to
safety,

596
00:45:41.934 --> 00:45:43.934
Mr. Heinrich developed a concept
on his safety

597
00:45:43.934 --> 00:45:49.000
triangle. He theorized for every
fatality there were 29 injuries

598
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:53.000
and 300 near misses. The key to

599
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.000
avoiding injuries and fatalities
was to capture and correct at
the

600
00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:03.000
near miss stage. If we were to
have two fatalities

601
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:12.000
we should have reported nearly
600 misses reported. I think we

602
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:22.000
have had six. Near misses our
lead indicators.

603
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:27.000
It's not only reported by the EM
but it is important for us to
trend

604
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:31.000
that. I just encourage you all
to send out your

605
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:39.934
near misses. The next
presentation, there is a
difference

606
00:46:39.934 --> 00:46:45.000
based on near misses. It's
important these are done.

607
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:54.000
So we can stop the severe
accidents from happening.

608
00:46:54.000 --> 00:47:08.000
In summary,

609
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:11.000
USACE requires that all mishaps
are reported. From serious
accidents

610
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:14.000
to a first aid case. You guys
are required to submit a
thorough timeline

611
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:19.000
complete investigation. Which --
all the mishaps have reporting
forms

612
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:23.000
and timelines. They are spelled
out in the EM or the ER.

613
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:29.000
In addition to these, the
regulations require training

614
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:32.000
to a certain level.

615
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:43.934
Whether you are a supervisor or
an employee. It's very important

616
00:47:43.934 --> 00:47:47.000
that you should go to section 1
of the EM and read through that.

617
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:58.000
Where you have a hard and fast
safety rules and regulations

618
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.000
from two on through the rest of
the EM. That's the framework for

619
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:03.000
your program on a Corps of
Engineers site. And how you are
supposed to

620
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.000
manage it. It's important that
you know with those requirements
are.

621
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:12.000
Finally, USACE requires near
face -- Mrs. B reported. We are
not

622
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:14.000
seeing that to date.

623
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:23.000
We are not seeing the misses we
expect to see.

624
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:27.000
I just want to say it is very
important

625
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.000
that you do that.

626
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:33.000
Thank you. I hope you got
something out of this today.

627
00:48:33.000 --> 00:48:35.934
That concludes my presentation.

628
00:48:35.934 --> 00:48:40.934
>> Good job. Hang on for second
we have a couple

629
00:48:40.934 --> 00:48:50.000
questions. The first question
is, is ER

630
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:54.000
35 199 being revised? When can
we expect

631
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:59.000
it to be published?

632
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.000
>> To my knowledge there is some
planning for it to be revised. I

633
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.000
do not know if they've gotten
far on that. I believe the first
thing

634
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:11.000
you will see is the new 3394.
Once that's out they will start
working

635
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:20.000
on 355-1 -99.

636
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.000
>> If you've an accident with
multiple people involved do need
to fill

637
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:25.000
out a separate
[ indiscernible ]?

638
00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:35.934
The attachment question,

639
00:49:35.934 --> 00:49:41.934
>> There needs to be one for
each one. There is certain
information

640
00:49:41.934 --> 00:49:49.000
for each. And needs to all be
tied back.

641
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:55.000
>> The other question, is says
differs from the

642
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:57.000
OSHA definition.

643
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:02.000
OSHA says one or more to the
hospital.

644
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:11.000
I do not see the question in
there.

645
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:17.000
That is all we have for
questions. We will

646
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:20.000
press on to the next
presentation.

647
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:29.000
The next presentation is by Neil
Feist, HGL.

648
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:42.934
His presentation is near miss --
misses.

649
00:50:42.934 --> 00:50:48.000
>> I have worked in the industry
for

650
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:53.000
over 25 years.

651
00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:58.000
What I am going to talk about is
one particular near miss that
HDL

652
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:01.000
had on a Huntsville project.

653
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:10.000
We considered it a pretty
serious one.

654
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:16.000
This slide, the definition

655
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:25.000
of a near miss.

656
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:31.000
Kellie talked about near miss
ratios.

657
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:39.934
This is all per OSHA.

658
00:51:39.934 --> 00:51:52.000
A previous employer I had quote
us for near

659
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.000
misses. Every office had a
certain quota that they had

660
00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:00.000
to meet at each month. I think
sometimes you end up with

661
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:06.000
near miss reports that are not
relevant.

662
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:14.000
As Kelly said reporting them are
important.

663
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:20.000
They need to meet the definition
to be relevant.

664
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:32.000
Onto the project, it was an RFS.

665
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.934
This range -- Jane

666
00:52:35.934 --> 00:52:41.934
can you throw the green arrow
out for me. The range

667
00:52:41.934 --> 00:52:56.000
they used as an OD to dispose of
code nature

668
00:52:56.000 --> 00:53:00.000
-- it had a limit of 1000 pounds
per shot. Here is the
operational

669
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:15.000
area. This line here is the
exclusion zone.

670
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:21.000
That is a little background on
the site.

671
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:27.000
We did site preparation.

672
00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:32.000
All during the fieldwork we
coordinated closely with the

673
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:41.000
installation and the operational
range. All of our fieldwork

674
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:52.000
was closely coordinated. So the
range was an active.

675
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:57.000
Normally we would try to do that
during the intrusive operations.

676
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:02.000
There was some delays.

677
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:08.000
We went out there a week or so
after.

678
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.000
The next slide here.

679
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:19.000
The incident that occurred, the
project team scheduled two

680
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:25.000
days at the installation.

681
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:40.934
A Monday and a Tuesday.

682
00:54:40.934 --> 00:54:42.934
They checked in with range
control.

683
00:54:42.934 --> 00:54:45.000
They had a verbal conversation
with them. They verified they
would be

684
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:49.000
on site for both days. And they
informed our team there was no
demolition

685
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:55.000
activities scheduled for either
of those days. The primary
reason

686
00:54:55.000 --> 00:55:00.000
for checking in was to get the
radio. They were

687
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:16.000
issued the radio.

688
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:23.000
The sample locations are these
locations. You can see

689
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:39.000
some are fairly close.

690
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:50.000
At the end of the first day the
team went out and did their
sampling.

691
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:53.000
At the end of the day around
5:15 PM there was no one to
check out

692
00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:59.000
West. They went back to the
hotel.

693
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:02.000
On day two they arrived around
715

694
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:08.000
and there was no one in that
range control. The range was an
active.

695
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:12.000
They went on and started
conducting their

696
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:16.000
sample. About 915 on day two

697
00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:21.000
the range radio started
indicating there was low
battery. They stopped

698
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:26.000
what they were doing and wanted
to change out the

699
00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:32.000
battery of the radio. Once they
got their gear loaded

700
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:39.934
-- [ indiscernible ].

701
00:56:39.934 --> 00:56:46.000
This time the radio had
completely died. The team drove
away,

702
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.000
I imagine rather quickly.

703
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:55.000
They got themselves to a
location within

704
00:56:55.000 --> 00:57:01.000
the site and called the
environmental office

705
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:07.000
who was our client client.

706
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:19.000
The environmental office called
via phone.

707
00:57:19.000 --> 00:57:23.000
By that time for detonations had
occurred. Was essentially all
the

708
00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:27.000
detonations. They gave our folks
a verbal that was all

709
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.000
clear.

710
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:34.934
When they got to range control
it was determined our team was

711
00:57:34.934 --> 00:57:36.934
[ indiscernible ].

712
00:57:36.934 --> 00:57:46.000
Apparently the installation had
two different depths of radios.

713
00:57:46.000 --> 00:58:01.000
They were in the process of
converting from analog to
digital.

714
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:07.000
The range did not follow their
procedures

715
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:10.000
for checking their exclusion
zones.

716
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:14.000
One was which to drive the
perimeter roads. Our vehicle was

717
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:23.000
parked on a primary perimeter
road.

718
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:27.000
They did not broadcast or
announce the demolition
operation.

719
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:43.000
At least not on our radio.

720
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:51.000
When our teams got back down
there it was obvious to them

721
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:58.000
just the fact they conducted
demolition operations.

722
00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:03.000
From the reporting perspective
one thing I will mention, I
wasn't aware

723
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:12.000
that agency

724
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:21.000
-- HNC had a near miss form.

725
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:27.000
They immediately contacted the
environmental office.

726
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:30.000
RPM contacted the Huntsville
p.m.

727
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:33.934
And didn't did reporting within
the

728
00:59:33.934 --> 00:59:37.934
company.

729
00:59:37.934 --> 00:59:42.934
The iOS 10 was assigned to that
project, he was busy with
another

730
00:59:42.934 --> 00:59:43.934
project.

731
00:59:43.934 --> 00:59:49.000
I got a hold of Miss Tina
Johnson and she tracked him
down. We prepared

732
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.000
the near miss report.

733
00:59:52.000 --> 01:00:01.000
And submitted it.

734
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:07.000
The Tina and Kellie Williams,
USACE HNC set

735
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:15.000
up a meeting with us.

736
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:21.000
We had more than one meeting. We
talked and discussed why

737
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:37.000
we thought it happened.

738
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.934
What happened was obvious. The
demolition [ indiscernible ] was
conducted

739
01:00:41.934 --> 01:00:45.000
wrong.

740
01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:50.000
They had no formal check in and
check out procedure.

741
01:00:50.000 --> 01:00:59.000
If they did have one they did
not follow it. Even during

742
01:00:59.000 --> 01:01:01.000
the majority of our field
operation there was

743
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:02.000
really no daily check-in or
checkout.

744
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:08.000
Our safety guide would go by
there and they would not be

745
01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:23.000
there in the morning.

746
01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:30.000
[ indiscernible ] this is the
military

747
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:41.934
sports services group.

748
01:01:41.934 --> 01:01:48.000
One of the cardinal rules is to
make sure

749
01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:54.000
your exclusion zone is clear.

750
01:01:54.000 --> 01:02:08.000
The lessons learned, for us,

751
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:14.000
not in this particular range has
procedures. While

752
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:17.000
we do not think our team did
anything wrong there are

753
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:20.000
things they could have done
better.

754
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:32.000
One of those -- every time we
enter a range,

755
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:37.934
in particular if there is no
formal procedures.

756
01:02:37.934 --> 01:02:53.000
We should have taken additional
steps.

757
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:55.000
To conduct radio checks. Even if
they are not required. Check

758
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:56.000
in every day with range control.

759
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:59.000
If they're not there check in
with the POC. Internally we have
added

760
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:02.000
requirements to our readiness
review.

761
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:08.000
We worked on a lot of active
ranges.

762
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:14.000
Most of those have strict
procedures.

763
01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:18.000
Internally we are requiring our
staff, if they

764
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:24.000
are working near range that they
will establish

765
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:27.000
those check in and check out
procedures.

766
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:33.067
Or follow the existing ones.

767
01:03:33.067 --> 01:03:38.000
That's it. Short and sweet.

768
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:44.000
>> We Have some questions that
have popped up. A couple of

769
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:58.000
these are for Kellie.

770
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:11.000
How do we deal with HEPA
requirements if we are putting
names on the reports?

771
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:16.000
>> The name can be on the
accident report. We just don't
need any of

772
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:28.000
the HEPA requirements.

773
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:33.000
I don't need any of the PII or
PHI associated with that.

774
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:37.934
>> Okay.

775
01:04:37.934 --> 01:04:40.934
That is all the questions we
have.

776
01:04:40.934 --> 01:04:46.000
The next speaker we are going to
have

777
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:51.000
is Betina Johnson, USACE HNC.

778
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:59.000
She wants to talk about the
agency a little bit.

779
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:12.000
>> I And the division chief over

780
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:14.000
the military munition design
center here at the Huntsville
center. We

781
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:16.000
also have four other design
center teams within the core of
engineers.

782
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:18.000
Currently that is Ralph
Campbell.

783
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:28.000
He is the design chief for the
chemical warfare design center
here in Huntsville.

784
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:33.934
Mike Rodgers who is the
Baltimore design center chief,

785
01:05:33.934 --> 01:05:38.934
and then we also have the Omaha
design center chief.

786
01:05:38.934 --> 01:05:46.000
It is really important even
though we have maintained a more
central

787
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:54.000
focus during these
presentations.

788
01:05:54.000 --> 01:05:57.000
We want to tell you that safety
is everyone's responsibility. If

789
01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:05.000
you see something you need to
say something.

790
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:11.000
Take your safety briefings very
seriously.

791
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:14.000
Some of us have worked in the
field before.

792
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:20.000
We know it is really early in
the morning. Sometimes

793
01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:24.000
it is a test to concentrate.
They are covering items that are
not

794
01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:29.000
in. That will help you to do
your job safely. I want to make

795
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:35.934
sure that

796
01:06:35.934 --> 01:06:37.934
you know that each design center
has similar requirements or the

797
01:06:37.934 --> 01:06:39.934
same requirements and some
aspects.

798
01:06:39.934 --> 01:06:50.000
If you reporting any accidents
or incidents. Please

799
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:55.000
take it seriously. We have been
very fortunate. Since the time
we

800
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:58.000
began doing projects.

801
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:04.000
To keep our accidents and
mishaps and near misses

802
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:12.000
to a minimum. We want to keep it
that way.

803
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:15.000
That's part of our way to do our
business safely. The work that
you

804
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:21.000
execute for us is important.
Even the public community.

805
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:24.000
We want to maintain a safety
focus

806
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:27.000
mentality for our work to be
completed.

807
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:32.000
We really appreciate you
participating in this webinar.

808
01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:43.934
We want you to keep safety in
the forefront of your mind.

809
01:07:43.934 --> 01:07:46.000
If there is a question that you
have about all the content that

810
01:07:46.000 --> 01:07:51.000
has been covered today please
feel free to send that
information back

811
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:55.000
through.

812
01:07:55.000 --> 01:07:58.000
Or if you need to reach out and
talk to your design center team

813
01:07:58.000 --> 01:08:02.000
regarding the specifics as it
relates to their contracts. One
thing we

814
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:09.000
need to keep in mind, we have
had several areas

815
01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:11.000
that have had expanded flooding
and hurricanes here recently.
There

816
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:16.000
have been more potential for us
to have -- in

817
01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:21.000
those areas where we have a lot
of debris that was typically not

818
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:24.000
on our site before then.

819
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:33.000
Please make sure that you are
keeping a safe environment.

820
01:08:33.000 --> 01:08:37.934
And keeping your area claim.

821
01:08:37.934 --> 01:08:42.934
That is really all that I have.

822
01:08:42.934 --> 01:08:47.000
>> Thank you.

823
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:52.000
I'm running into some technical
issues. I see the clock counting

824
01:08:52.000 --> 01:09:03.000
down at the bottom.

825
01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:06.000
That concludes our presentation.

826
01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:11.000
We are looking to do our next
webinar mid to late

827
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:19.000
February. That would be on the
new clap toolkit that is

828
01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:20.000
coming out.

829
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:26.000
That will be a really
outstanding one. Some of the
questions I don't

830
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:33.934
see sorry about some of the
technical

831
01:09:33.934 --> 01:09:46.000
stuff.

832
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:49.000
If there's any final questions
you have typed them in.

833
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.000
Email those to me and I can get
them to the presenter. We can
get

834
01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:53.000
those questions answered for
you.

835
01:09:53.000 --> 01:09:54.000
With that I will conclude this
webinar.

836
01:09:54.000 --> 01:10:00.000
If there's anything you have
Jean?

837
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.000
>> Thank you Jeff. I will walk
through a few final reminders
before we

838
01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:07.000
close things out. We do
apologize for the technical
issue that we

839
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:12.000
have.

840
01:10:12.000 --> 01:10:16.000
We will be sure to pass along
any questions you all might have
entered

841
01:10:16.000 --> 01:10:28.000
into the Q&A window. And share
those with our organizers.

842
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.000
I just want everyone to know I
can see all of

843
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:35.434
your questions and comments

844
01:10:35.434 --> 01:10:44.200
coming into the Q&A window.
They are being

845
01:10:44.200 --> 01:10:53.200
collected and we will be sure to
save those.

846
01:10:53.200 --> 01:10:57.968
When we started today's

847
01:10:57.968 --> 01:11:07.000
broadcast we let everyone
know copies of the

848
01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:09.000
presentation material as well as
contact information for
presenters

849
01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:12.000
and organizers are currently
posted on the seminar home page.
For those

850
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:15.000
of you who are looking of copies
of the presentation content or
are

851
01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.000
looking for ways to reach out
with additional questions, I
encourage

852
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:20.000
you to browse over to the
seminar home page. Or follow the
links on

853
01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:21.000
the middle right of your screen.

854
01:11:21.000 --> 01:11:23.000
Materials are available on the
Seminoles resource page. You can

01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:29.000
up and you should be able to
access materials. For today
session and

857
01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:31.000
check out several other areas.
Our session was also recorded
today.

858
01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:33.000
If you're looking to share this
information with a court --
coworker

859
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:36.934
or colleague you will receive an
email. One of the most common
questions

860
01:11:36.934 --> 01:11:42.934
we receive is if we offer PDH is
for our training.

861
01:11:42.934 --> 01:11:45.000
We don't issue these types of
credits. We

862
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:56.000
offer participation certificates
for those of you who join us.

863
01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.000
If you're looking for one of the
certificates I would ask you to

864
01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:01.000
take a moment to fill out our
brief online feedback form. Let
us know

865
01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:06.000
what you thought about our
delivery today. When you fill
out that form

866
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:20.000
please pay close attention and
make sure you enter

867
01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:23.000
your name correctly. Check a box
that appears at the very bottom

868
01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:25.000
of it. In the upper right of the
slide. The box certifies you
were

869
01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:28.000
here for the entire life session
or you replayed the entire
recorded

870
01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:33.000
webinar. When you submit the
feedback form and you will have
access to

871
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:38.934
a participation certificate.

872
01:12:38.934 --> 01:12:40.934
You can save that or printed out
for

873
01:12:40.934 --> 01:12:43.934
your own record. If you happen
to be participating as a group,
each

874
01:12:43.934 --> 01:12:47.000
one of you can fill out the
feedback form to get your own
certificate

875
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:53.000
with regards of who actually
registered.

876
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:55.000
As I noted if you are watching
the

877
01:12:55.000 --> 01:13:00.000
recorded version you can still
get credit and print out one of
those

878
01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:03.000
certificates.

879
01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:15.000
You can still fill that form out
based in the archive.

880
01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:17.000
That is the end of the technical
reminder that

881
01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:20.000
I have for today session. I want
to thank you. 90 individuals who

882
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:23.000
join today. We hope that you
found this to be a value
expenditure of

883
01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:28.000
your time. As noted this will be
the former -- formal conclusion.

884
01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:33.000
Thank you for joining us.
