1 Avoid Amputations An amputation is the complete or partial loss of a body part, usually a finger, toe, arm, or leg. Workplace amputations are traumatic. Beyond losing a body part, the blood loss, shock, and infection that can accompany amputations can be fatal. The long-term outcome for an amputee depends greatly on the first response and emergency care he receives. So, in addition to knowing how to prevent amputations, you should also know how to provide first aid in case an amputation occurs. Amputations are preventable. Always be aware of where amputation hazards exist. For instance, when you work near chains, gears, pulleys, or other moving parts, your hands or fingers could get pinched, caught, or crushed. You can also suffer an amputation: when you work with sharp objects, tools, or materials; if you wear loose clothing or jewelry that gets caught and pulls you into a machine; or when you place yourself between moving equipment and a stationary object. These steps will help you prevent amputations: Power saws are high on the list of amputation hazards. Never wedge back guards. Follow LOTO procedures whenever you set up, inspect, operate, service, or maintain equipment so it can t start or move unexpectedly. Respect guards. Keep guards in place at all times unless you locked out the machine. Keep blades sharp. Sharp tools are safer tools. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Use the right PPE for the task. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling sharps, but don t wear gloves if they could get caught in machinery. Watch where you put your hands and where you reach. Never reach blindly behind or under equipment to find something by touch. Keep your hands and fingers clear of rotating parts, out of pinch points, and away from crushed-by hazards. Don t hold a workpiece in your hand or against your leg. Use a vice or a clamp to secure it. When handling material, keep an eye out for sharp edges and protruding nails. First response: If you re the first person on the scene, you can make a significant difference in the long-term outcome. First, call 911. Second, control the bleeding by elevating the wound and applying direct pressure with a clean cloth. For severe bleeding, bandage the wound snugly, but not so tight that the bandage causes permanent damage to nerves and blood vessels. Third, prevent shock. Keep the victim warm and calm. If it s safe, lay the person down and elevate his feet. Fourth, preserve the severed part: wrap it in a damp cloth, put it in a plastic bag, keep it cool but don t let it freeze and send it to the hospital with the victim. SAFETY REMINDER Never use your hand to clear a jam in your snowblower! MEETING DOCUMENTATION: JOB NAME: MEETING DATE: ATTENDEES: S.A.F.E.

4 Evite las amputaciones (Avoid Amputations) Una amputación es la pérdida total o parcial de una parte del cuerpo, generalmente un dedo de la mano, un dedo del pie, un brazo, o una pierna. Las amputaciones en el lugar de trabajo son traumáticas. Además de perder una parte del cuerpo, la pérdida de sangre, shock, e infección que pueden acompañar a las amputaciones pueden ser mortales. Los resultados a largo plazo para un amputado dependen en gran parte en la primera respuesta y atención de emergencia que reciba la persona. Por lo tanto, además de saber cómo prevenir las amputaciones, usted debe también saber cómo proporcionar primeros auxilios en caso de suceder una amputación. Las amputaciones son evitables. Siempre esté consciente en dónde existen peligros de amputación. Por ejemplo, cuando tiene que trabajar cerca de cadenas, engranajes, poleas, u otras partes móviles, sus manos o dedos pueden ser pellizcados, atrapados, o aplastados. También puede sufrir una amputación: al trabajar con objetos punzocortantes, herramientas, o materiales; si usa ropa suelta o joyería que puede atorarse y ser jalada hacia una máquina; o si usted se coloca entre equipo en movimiento y un objeto estacionario. Estos pasos lo ayudará a prevenir las amputaciones: Las sierras de potencia están entre las primeras en la lista de peligros de amputación. Nunca coloque cuñas en los dispositivos de seguridad. Siga los procedimientos de LOTO siempre que instale, inspeccione, opere, dé servicio o mantenimiento al equipo para que no puede encenderse o moverse inesperadamente. Respete los dispositivos de seguridad. Mantenga los dispositivos de seguridad en su lugar en todo momento a menos que haya cerrado/trabado/desactivado la máquina. Mantenga las cuchillas debidamente afiladas. Las herramientas afiladas son herramientas más seguras. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Use el PPE correcto de acuerdo a la tarea. Use guantes resistentes a cortaduras al manejar objetos punzocortantes, pero no use guantes si éstos pueden atorarse en la maquinaria. Vea cuidadosamente en dónde pone sus manos y en dónde trata de alcanzar algo con sus brazos. Nunca estire los brazos sin ver detrás o debajo del equipo para encontrar algo al tacto o tocándolo. Mantenga las manos y dedos lejos de las partes giratorias, fuera del alcance de los puntos de machucón, y lejos de los peligros de ser aplastados. Nunca sujete una pieza siendo trabajada en las manos o contra su pierna. Use una mordaza o abrazadera para sujetarla. Al manejar material, tenga cuidado con bordes punzo cortantes y clavos salientes. Primera respuesta: Si usted es la primera persona en llegar al lugar de un accidente, usted puede tener un impacto importante en los resultados a largo plazo. Primero, llame al 911. Segundo, controle el sangrando al elevar la herida y aplicar presión directa con una tela limpia. Para una hemorragia intensa, coloque una venda en la herida en forma ajustada, pero no demasiado apretada que la venda cause daños permanentes a los nervios y vasos sanguíneos. Tercero, evite el shock. Mantenga a la víctima caliente y calmada. Si es seguro hacerlo, acueste a la persona y eleve sus pies. Cuarto, conserve la parte amputada del cuerpo: envuélvala en una tela húmeda, póngala en una bolsa de plástico, manténgala fresca pero no la congele y envíela al hospital junto con la persona lesionada. SAFETY REMINDER Nunca use sus manos para desatascar algo en su soplador de nieve! MEETING DOCUMENTATION JOB NAME: MEETING DATE: ATTENDEES: S.A.F.E.
