1:35good afternoon my name is Alex lesko I'm
1:38a retired firefighter and I worked for
1:4025 years in the city of trappiness a
1:42fire pyramid you know in city of Trenton
1:45we have a lot of Industry a lot of big
1:48Industries power plant Auto Factory
1:50builds engines we had a steel factory
1:52different chemical factories and I bring
1:54that up because there were many times
1:55where I was on duty I actually got
1:58called to other people's place of work
2:01[Applause]
2:02and then some unfortunate situations
2:05they died that's what we're here to talk
2:07to you about is keeping you safe in your
2:08workplace the company I worked for now
2:11is called pastors Edge fastest started
2:13because a young individual working a
2:16summer job was asked to do a certain
2:18tasks did the task that's the visibility
2:20ended up losing his life doing it and
2:23that's how passes began passes actually
2:25stands for parents or student safety
2:27employment standards passes works well
2:30with myosia we are not miosha we have
2:33worked alongside of my old show for
2:34quite a number of years I also has been
2:37around for over 40 years
2:39they have a difficult job anybody has a
2:41job that you are
2:42basically enforcing workplace safety
2:45rules laws codes stuff like that they're
2:47actually rules and laws are called
2:49standards a standard is simply this it's
2:51a written document and it tells you in
2:53great detail how to do something it's
2:55when you stay within the standards going
2:56to be fine you deviate that standard
2:58trying to take a shortcut make you have
3:01a better or different way maybe omit a
3:03step that's usually when something bad
3:05happens so we definitely want you to
3:06stay right within those standards okay I
3:10also will do any and everything they can
3:11to help make our workplace as safe as
3:13possible they even have programs where
3:15they'll come into a business and
3:18um they will watch how they run their
3:20business and they will give them some
3:22pointers and tips on how to do things
3:24safely they can insert and do some
3:27safety and health programs and a lot of
3:29times this could be done on their grant
3:31money through iosia through their set
3:33training okay passes is a copyrighted
3:36class it means if you were to take some
3:38pictures or copy this and show them
3:40again without information get yourself
3:42in trouble so don't believe that anyway
3:43we have a basic mission statement it's
3:45real simple we're a community Grace
3:47based group and we're dedicated to
3:49teaching you guys you're the Next
3:51Generation Workforce the fundamentals of
3:53workplace safety awareness what exactly
3:55do we want you to be aware of everything
3:58that we can think of to help you keep
4:00you safe know that you have rights know
4:02that with ricegum responsibility we'll
4:04talk about that a little later what are
4:05some of the dangers that are out there
4:07how quickly things can turn on you we'll
4:09try to give you as much information as
4:11we can and we do that really in three
4:13simple goals okay our first goal is this
4:16we want to have a great attitude when it
4:18comes to workplace safety workplace
4:20safety can be tough it can be very
4:22boring at times
4:23um when I was your age being lecture two
4:26and I wasn't very good at it I was the
4:28one that was personal with my head on
4:29the desk really fighting to stay awake
4:31there's another thing that can be taught
4:33for safety training you've been trained
4:36in safety your entire life from the time
4:38you're learning to walk man somebody's
4:39telling you don't touch the stove a time
4:42don't go there and play that electrical
4:43outlet you might zap yourself don't go
4:46in the street you might get run over
4:47we're hearing these things the whole
4:49time you're growing up even to the point
4:50you're in high school now going through
4:52your driver's ed you're going to get the
4:53car keys right
4:55um somebody's telling me make sure you
4:57wear your seatbelt stay off your cell
4:59phone make sure you're done speeding
5:01don't get distracted without music more
5:03and more safety training just so that
5:05you don't have that one little slip up
5:07to change your life forever right so now
5:09you're in the working partner and um
5:11they're telling you how to stay safe at
5:13work let's make sure we're paying
5:15attention Okay we don't want any of
5:17those types of things to pull our
5:19attention away to where something else
5:22gets hurt so make sure we're paying
5:24close attention our second goal is to be
5:26alert this has to be alerted on the job
5:27why not be alert all the time people get
5:29hurt all the time I'm not just talking
5:31at work
5:33um you know if you know the building
5:34codes and safety codes and you know all
5:36that to a t that's awesome and really we
5:38should all strive to do that I'm even
5:40talking simpler than that Common Sense
5:41stuff are you working in a cluttered
5:43work area and yeah ropes and cords or
5:45hoses all over the place trip assets
5:47right so there are water on the floor a
5:49slip Hazard somebody gonna do something
5:50about that I've actually been on calls
5:53where uh the guy was walking into a
5:55building for work and um the rug at the
5:58doorway was just all wrinkled up I got
6:01hit at just running tripping fell and he
6:02smacked his head on the cement floor I
6:04ended up with a close hand injury brain
6:06bleed right I never fully recovered
6:09his family was even affected by this
6:11because they now have to take care of
6:13somebody who fell over what a trip but
6:16they slipped on a raw nature right these
6:19are the things that we want you to be
6:21Keen enough to see it fix it only takes
6:23a few seconds one of the calls we had a
6:25family that we're cooking dinner on the
6:26stove right big old Skillet frying pan
6:29uh Anthony was sticking right out in
6:31front of the island this little nine
6:32year old comes running by almost that
6:34handle on accident it flipped that pot
6:35I'll pick this kid's ribs it's burning
6:37it all the way out
6:39um we give some famous it took at the
6:41University of Michigan's Garden Center
6:42totally avoidable if we are alert enough
6:45to see that that handle in the walkway
6:46is a hazard and let's just slide that
6:48out of the way those are those types of
6:50things that we're talking about to give
6:52you that certain alertness on the job
6:54okay and then our third goal
6:56in today's day I think we're all getting
6:58a great understanding of personal
6:59protective equipment while we're a mess
7:01you know it's one of those things but in
7:04the workplace this has been around for a
7:05long time here in certain areas you're a
7:07personal protective equipment experiment
7:09make sure you're wearing it whether it's
7:11a breathing mask like we're all getting
7:12used to and the different kinds of
7:14breathing breathing masks safety glasses
7:16are hard hat maybe proper gloves and
7:18apron even proper shoes whether they're
7:21steel toe or non-skid if you're supposed
7:23to wear these things let's make sure we
7:25do understand this the rules change on
7:28what our PPE should be in the workplace
7:31really based on how many people are
7:32getting hurt what can we do to make it
7:34safer what can we wear to make it safe I
7:36found out for years and years and people
7:38working in environments and Industry
7:40that were subjected to a lot of noises
7:43hearing stuff so missile Bible we
7:45finally caught up with that number of
7:46years ago that we should wear hearing
7:48protection because there's so many
7:49people late in life especially
7:50Industrials like people that really
7:52can't hear so if you're supposed to wear
7:54your stuff let's make sure we put it on
7:55now I'm going to cover a lot of topics
7:58you know you'll work real hard you're
8:01going through high school doing a lot of
8:02things trying to build yourself up to
8:04become more and more employable I call
8:06that building a resume and um there's a
8:08lot of things that we do to make that
8:10look good but you know there's things
8:12that you can ask before you even get
8:14hired in regards to safety let's say you
8:16land that interview it's a dream job and
8:18um you're sitting there thinking that
8:20that employer can ask you anything they
8:22want if you don't have the right answer
8:23you're not getting a job and that's
8:25partially true but every one of those
8:27scenarios I've ever been in I've had the
8:29opportunity to ask a question back let's
8:31make sure we take that time to ask
8:32what's important to you if you hire me
8:34do you have a retirement plan you have
8:36health care can I move up in your
8:37comment I mean great questions in fact
8:39those are good questions that an
8:41interviewer would like to hear because
8:43there gives them an idea if you get
8:44hired you plan on staying but also don't
8:46be afraid to ask questions about safety
8:50what is your safety program do I need
8:52personal uh protective here to come in
8:54are there dangerous areas at places that
8:56we should stay away from things like
8:58that and what about after you get hired
9:00keep asking things like that are really
9:03important
9:03um you know I don't know why boss's
9:05supervisors business owners sometimes
9:08they're just so intimidating tough to
9:10talk to you're afraid you might say or
9:12do the wrong thing in front of them
9:13and don't be afraid of that most of
9:15those people are just like you and me I
9:17mean they're they're they're good people
9:19they just have a different job and
9:21mindset listen I know you're as a
9:23firefighter I've worked about 17 18
9:25years with same group of guys and my one
9:28guy a good friend of mine I actually got
9:30called up to be our chief no he's in
9:31charge of our part
9:33so this guy walks in one day with his
9:36nice white shirt he has a big old gold
9:38badge and the look on his face was
9:40different to me now I know this guy
9:41forever and it just looked different I'm
9:43thinking oh no now he's one of those
9:45intimidating bosses let me start talking
9:47a little bit really he's the same old
9:49happy-go-lucky guy but don't know me
9:51when that guy showed up to work every
9:52day he tried to be the best firefighter
9:54you can be the day he walked in with
9:57that white shirt on he wanted us all to
9:59be the best firefighters we can be and
10:01you can see that extra responsibility
10:03all over his face
10:04so don't misread that there are people
10:06that aren't approachable and you can ask
10:08questions especially when it comes to
10:09your gut feeling if you think
10:11something's not right now the state puts
10:13out this brochure it's an extreme safety
10:15brochure for the working teenager
10:17it's basically an outline of the things
10:19that we're going to talk about for for
10:21the next hour right in fact the first
10:23thing we're talking about is in that
10:24lower right corner is how many young
10:25people actually get hurt or die at work
10:28and the numbers aren't very good we have
10:3060 to 70 kids every year your age go to
10:33work and never go home wants too many we
10:36have 200 000 kids end up in an emergency
10:39room in Urgent Care maybe the first aid
10:41office because they got hurt at work
10:42we're talking about over 500 and some a
10:45day
10:46we need to be better we need to make
10:48sure that we stay focused you know one
10:49of the things that we found that can be
10:51somewhat of a distraction is this thing
10:53right how many people we know are on
10:55their cell phones all the time right and
10:57and we're addicted to Facebook Instagram
10:59Twitter snap whatever you got all these
11:02things right at your fingertips right I
11:04actually believe that it's pretty
11:05awesome I grew up my friends they were
11:08within a couple city blocks you guys
11:09could communicate with people all over
11:12the country with one of these which I
11:13think is great but there is a time and
11:15place you're performing a task you're
11:17doing some function you're doing
11:18something that'd be screw up you're
11:19going to hurt somebody let's not let
11:21this be the reason right it's
11:23mind-boggling people every day operating
11:25machine how many injuries and accidents
11:27they call because talking about driving
11:29a car those numbers any impaired driver
11:32know because people are on that thing so
11:34let's say let's make sure that we
11:36separate from that when we're doing
11:37something especially with the machine
11:38now I was told that if I was going to
11:41show you guys any pictures that aren't
11:42very nice I should tell you ahead of
11:44time I had two coming up this first one
11:46here is a chemical burn this burden this
11:49uh nasty stuffing on someone's legs
11:51eaten away at the flesh whatever it is
11:53it's going to continue to do it till
11:55it's neutralized very very painful right
11:57there's an electricity uh situation
12:00this is actually something you're going
12:02to electroduce an exit wound of a
12:04forearm right listen you come in contact
12:06with any energized wire right you can
12:09see that bare wire and your body talks
12:11to something else your body is a great
12:13conductor of electricity it's going to
12:14shoot right through you again that's an
12:16exit when I'll get that off of there
12:17anytime that you're working if you can
12:20see where two wires are twisted together
12:21you shouldn't be able to that should be
12:23in a closed box
12:25if you have frame wires A lot of times
12:28those wires where you can see is right
12:29at the end of the cord right we can plug
12:31it in right you see that and you have
12:33that bare wire get that stuff out of
12:35service make sure it gets repaired and
12:37gets replaced uh so that we keep
12:38ourselves safe now closing passes got
12:41started because this uh young kid died
12:43at work his name was Chris Palazzo
12:46and this incident happened actually that
12:48time I grew up
12:49um a couple of firefighters that I know
12:52great friends of mine on our emergency
12:54response team ended up on the scene
12:57um Kim was told to do a job right the
12:58plant was in a complete shutdown weren't
13:00doing anything except we ended up
13:02getting it ready to restart his job was
13:04to clean out a water tank this
13:06supposedly had only ever had water in it
13:08this tank was huge you could fit
13:09probably six eight people in it it's how
13:11big it was and he was just going to go
13:12and clean up the inside so here he is in
13:14this tank uncovered some really nasty
13:16stuff right it's overcome down he goes
13:18he was by himself and um there was
13:21another guy that was just outside the
13:23tank right and um he realized that this
13:25kid was in there for some time and he
13:28hadn't heard from him so he walked over
13:29and looked inside the tank sure enough
13:31here you have this kid was laying down
13:32the face of this thing I actually
13:33believe by the time this guy saw him he
13:35was already gone and so this guy yelled
13:37for help and he did what any one of us
13:39to do he jumped in there to help this
13:41kid but you got to really be careful if
13:43something bad happens those first few
13:46minutes right now that actually become
13:47more hazardous because people get what
13:49we call tunnel vision police officers
13:51and firefighters we are trained that
13:53even though we're there for a certain
13:55Hazard or an incident we maintain and
13:57try to keep in line the things that our
14:00potential hazards to us right best
14:02example I can give you if someone
14:03getting television ladies driving down
14:06the highway right and she sees a minivan
14:08lose control and it's rolling on its
14:10side laying in the medium and jumps out
14:12of her car ladies out medical background
14:14right runs across the street going to
14:15check on everybody at a minivan the next
14:17car coming down the road was also
14:19looking at the minivan didn't see Lady
14:20ran over that lady would have never
14:22crossed that road without looking both
14:24ways but she had that tunnel vision
14:26right and that's kind of what we get
14:28when we're going and trying to help
14:29somebody right this situation there were
14:32a lot of federal state agencies and
14:34people that heavy fines and stuff on
14:36this company called karmises in wyanda
14:38where this kid died never brought the
14:39kid back right so that's why we want to
14:42make sure that you guys understand the
14:44things that we're trying to train you in
14:45and being safe
14:48foreign
14:53[Music]
15:02on July 16 1992 a promising college
15:06student named Christopher palazzola died
15:09on the job at karmazin Products
15:11Corporation in Wyandotte Michigan
15:13it was not a tragedy because his death
15:15was entirely avoidable
15:18Chris was working a summer job at
15:20karmazum when he was ordered to shovel
15:22sludge in a closed space water tank
15:25during a routine maintenance shutdown he
15:28was not provided with the requisite
15:29respiratory equipment or safety
15:32harnesses
15:33he uncovered a deadly solvent while
15:35shoveling and died in the tank
15:38in the aftermath carmism was fined by
15:41miosha and later the Environmental
15:43Protection Agency
15:45but the sanctions mean little
15:47Chris's death devastated loved ones and
15:50cut short the life of a 20 year old
15:52engineering student who excelled in
15:54music Sports and was engaged to be
15:56married
15:58the passes Edge safety program was
16:00created in 1995 to teach adolescents to
16:03protect themselves in the workplace
16:05passes is taught throughout Michigan and
16:08the Midwest bringing safety life skills
16:10to students teachers and the community
16:12it is dedicated to Chris
16:21and say no Chris Guyton was called a
16:23confined space a combined space is just
16:25an area not there for humans to stay
16:26very long you go in you do your job to
16:29get out of there the biggest issue you
16:30had in a confined space is do you have
16:32enough good air
16:33you have enough oxygen in that area that
16:35you're working are there any nasty gases
16:37something that's going to you know get
16:39to you knock you down and you're
16:40overcome now
16:41um these three pictures that just popped
16:43up the top one you see this guy in this
16:45manhole he's got no protection you can
16:47see his face no breathing apparatus
16:49nothing like that he's going underground
16:50especially on the ground you have to
16:52worry about the air that you have right
16:55um rail cars and silos those two other
16:57pictures those are things that uh you
16:59know people have to enter them sometimes
17:00whether it's inspect repair clean
17:03whatever it is extensive amount of
17:05training and practice going into those
17:06small areas this is just a picture of a
17:09practice setting I want to point out
17:10three things though a guy in the red
17:11shirt he's got a harness he's got a
17:14cable and he's got a firecracker now if
17:16this guy is going down this ladder at a
17:18gradual Pace it'll allow if he slips and
17:20Falls that that cable is kind of fancy
17:22he'll only fall maybe a foot foot and a
17:24half
17:25and it locks in and prevents them from
17:27falling the rest of the way down so
17:28safety feature you see this part
17:30concerned himself his partner's harm
17:31himself because if he gets into any
17:32trouble this guy can hook up right away
17:34and get down there and help him out
17:35always practicing with stuff like that
17:37more and more with uh with a lot of the
17:40construction and things are going on
17:41every year
17:43um we find that the different injuries
17:45and accidents that happen at work
17:46there's almost always one or two that
17:48have to do with a trench because it's
17:49water main breaks there's new
17:50construction people go down into these
17:52trenches and they collapse on them right
17:53just know that you have to when you're
17:55doing some of these
17:57um trench stuff you have to have the
17:59right people certified people you have
18:00to make that the sides are protected
18:02from caving in they just call it showing
18:04up now when they had incidents in the
18:06workplace and today's day if they have
18:09an incident you know you'll have the
18:10safety people come in the fire report
18:12across the country everybody has access
18:14to that report
18:15back in the 80s it wasn't so this
18:17slide's a little older and it shows you
18:19so they compiled all these things and
18:21they try to you know see what's
18:23relatable and they found that they had a
18:24lot of people that were getting hurt or
18:26dying in confined spaces so they found
18:28that you know they'd have an
18:29instrumentation they have ventilation
18:31they had training no supervisors
18:32different things like that the whole
18:34entire reason I keep this slide on is
18:36because of that last number 64 of the
18:38people that died in a confined space
18:40that was not part of their job to be
18:42there you're not paid you're not trained
18:44you're not protected and it's hazardous
18:46the safest thing to stay away from right
18:48just seems like such a simple thing to
18:50say but people love to go and explore so
18:53make sure you keep yourself safe all
18:56right real quick let's talk about
18:57construction safety only then we bring
19:00this up because the construction
19:01industry is one of the most hazardous
19:03Industries we have in the state of
19:04Michigan and the U.S in the entire world
19:07we're in Michigan four percent of the
19:09workforce that means four out of every
19:10100 people that have a job working in
19:12construction business right they come
19:15for almost half of the people that die
19:16at work this is what you know you show
19:19up to work every day and your work
19:20environment is different today than it
19:21was yesterday it's going to be different
19:23tomorrow things are ever changed some of
19:26these poor construction workers they'll
19:27show up on a site they didn't get the
19:29proper inspections and stuff to move on
19:31and continue building whatever they're
19:32doing their their company will send them
19:34to another site could be miles away and
19:37um they just don't have that familiarity
19:39with the place that with that they're
19:40working okay different stuff they deal
19:43with is dust and dust particles we call
19:45it silica
19:46um you know extensive amount of things
19:48that you have to deal with
19:50um in the construction business
19:51workplace deaths you know this uh this
19:54slide shows over the last number of
19:55years how many people have actually died
19:57that meiosa has investigated and um you
20:01know how are these people dying Falls
20:03Transportation incidents electrocutions
20:06answer the substances crushed injuries
20:09all kinds of things right
20:10um we're going to talk about Falls here
20:12in a sec and
20:15um I have to warn you there's another
20:16picture coming up and this guy fell and
20:19it's kind of an ugly picture felt enough
20:21Force then shoved the bone right through
20:24the skin right especially if you fall in
20:25your head without much force man your
20:27face is going to be way worse than what
20:28is it that we are actually falling off
20:30of anything can get you above great
20:32maybe you're on a roll maybe you're on
20:34scaffolding you're not allowed right I
20:37told you how many young people die a
20:38year do you know one in four 25 of the
20:41young people that die at work that I can
20:43fall in off of something there's a
20:44problem it's prohibited if you're not
20:46yet 18 you're not supposed to be on a
20:48roof on scaffolding on ladders right now
20:51when I was a kid between my Junior and
20:53Senior year I actually worked for a
20:55roofing company my job I grabbed those
20:57bundles of shingles go up the ladder put
20:58them on the roof come back get some more
21:00right today's day you can't do that you
21:02can't even go up on that roof to hand
21:04somebody a piece of equipment if you're
21:06not yet 18. all right
21:08let's talk about letters
21:10um you know a couple things happen when
21:12you're dealing with the ladder
21:14um you know I've been on so many calls
21:15where we've had ladder injuries and
21:17you're saying comes down to one of two
21:19things one is you probably didn't have
21:21the right ladder for the job and the
21:23other is you didn't put it in the right
21:24spot and you tried to make it work I
21:26mean you've got those step ladders I've
21:28seen something on the stepladder trying
21:29to read something over the head I wasn't
21:31tall enough so what do they do to drag
21:32the table or set the alarm on the table
21:34and try to go if they're going too bad
21:36or or how about in this time of year
21:38everybody loves to put lights outside
21:39man they light up their whole house and
21:41I think it's kind of cool but it's got
21:42to do it safe you got that ladder
21:44leaning up there and you're hooking
21:46those lights on the gutters and Paul
21:48said he only got about three more likes
21:50to hang up but you can barely reach them
21:52right whatever you don't do that
21:53Balancing Act trying to reach over
21:55certainly don't grab on that ladder
21:57which I knew the whole thing by jumping
21:58over right get down and move the ladder
22:01that's the part that we don't take the
22:03time to maintain our own safety okay
22:05those A-frame letters they open like
22:07this the little tray thing comes down
22:09that tray thing it's not meant for you
22:10to stand out it's rated for a paint can
22:12right people stand on it all the time so
22:15we get a call guys laying in his garage
22:17all tangled up in a ladder right we show
22:19up no idea whose house it was it was my
22:22boss it was my city manager right there
22:24he is laying on his uh garage floor got
22:27a broken leg we hook him up give him
22:30some medicine take him to the hospital
22:31on the way to the hospital I'm sitting
22:32in the back with him I asked him how
22:35this happened
22:36says he knew he should have done it but
22:38he was on the second from the top step
22:39so his feet are even with that trade
22:41thing and um because his feet were on
22:44the same step he felt a little uneasy a
22:46little off balance so he thought he'd
22:47put his foot over on that tray thing for
22:49a little bit just for a little stability
22:50told me he did plan on putting much
22:52weight on it but he got back to working
22:54over his head but he realized he had all
22:56this weight on it and the ladder gave
22:58way his leg got tangled up and down he
23:00went on the ladder and his life right so
23:02we got to make sure we don't take that
23:04chance one other thing about those
23:05A-frame ladders the very top of it by
23:08definition it's not even called the
23:10steps it's called the cap they call it a
23:12cat because he should be on it it's just
23:14too unsafe now the fire service we use a
23:17straight beam ladder for everything we
23:19do and um sometimes we have two or three
23:21sections and we get really high up in
23:23here before we put one of those up we do
23:25what's called a four-point check there's
23:27two points that rest on the top and two
23:28on the bottom those two on the bottom
23:30I'm gonna make sure I have good even
23:31flat surface right I want to make sure
23:34at all possible I get the same surface
23:36so that'll put one of those beams in the
23:38cement the other in the grass I get 30
23:40feet in here it starts to dig into that
23:42grass I could be in some serious trouble
23:43right how about the two points on the
23:46top on the top I want to make sure that
23:48there's no overhang and then that's an
23:49even surface I don't want to put my
23:51ladder near a tree if I'm climbing up
23:53that ladder in a branch happens to catch
23:55my clothing completely right off of that
23:57lag don't rush that ladder on the window
23:59you rested on a window and that glass
24:01breaks you're underneath it your glass
24:03is going to fall on you most importantly
24:05though I mean our ladders are all
24:06aluminum devices
24:07if I put that aluminum ladder and it
24:09comes in contact with an energized wire
24:12it now energizes that ladder and it
24:15energizes me so you really have to be
24:16careful when you put one of those up now
24:19so put one up
24:20a lot of people don't know what to do
24:22and really if you had if I had a 12 foot
24:23straight beam aluminum ladder right here
24:25they're actually very light I mean they
24:27had to grab that thing in the middle
24:28carry it or whatever right
24:30it's when you don't know what you're
24:31doing maybe you go down to the very end
24:33and you grab that thing and you're
24:35trying to move it around and now most of
24:37it's over your head and it's real
24:39awkward to try and get on the wall
24:40you're banging into stuff right so how
24:43do you maintain total control you grab
24:45that thing in the middle and the part
24:46that you're going to put up against the
24:48wall uh that you're gonna put on the
24:49ground put it right up against the wall
24:51the part you're actually going to climb
24:52up put it face down walk out to the very
24:55end around bend your knees pick that
24:57thing up turn and face it and then you
24:59walk it up to the wall and you press it
25:01right up against the wall now you're in
25:02full control and then you grab the
25:03bottom and you pull it out now you need
25:05the proper angle what is that angle 75
25:08degrees it means every four feet up you
25:10pull the bottom on a foot so when you
25:12put a battery you go down all five
25:14so let's buy you guys sometimes more
25:15paper we need to get up on that roof we
25:18need to get up on that roof to help our
25:19other firefighters here's the reason say
25:22you got a fire inside a building and uh
25:24it's getting super hot it's got that
25:26thick black smoke right and the more the
25:28hotter it gets the more smoke it puts
25:30out
25:30we get up on that roof so we can clutch
25:32I get a coal in it and it works like a
25:34chimney all that heat takes that super
25:37thick black smoke pushes it out so the
25:40firefighters on the ground floor can see
25:41they can find the fire they find people
25:43way faster and we still don't even do
25:45that without some kind of a safety check
25:47our rule of thumb for firefighters who
25:49did that thing up there as quick as we
25:51can we hit it close and by our policy
25:53the first guy on that ladder has got to
25:54stop on the first phone reach out and
25:56grab it along even with his shoulders
25:57now but my body feels like I'm straight
25:59up and down I know I got a decent angle
26:01on the plan if I was to step up feel
26:03like I'm leaning back I didn't know my
26:04ladder is too upright I need to make an
26:06adjustment for it just another part of
26:08an essay I
26:10let's talk about lifting all right
26:12that's a picture of a spine
26:14um you know there's some certain
26:16occupations inherently they have bad
26:18backs right uh firefighters are one
26:20healthcare workers right so you're
26:22you're helping move and roll people and
26:24sometimes you're helping them walk and
26:26then they pass out ladder carriers
26:27construction trades people
26:29a lot of these people end up hurting
26:31their back and sometimes it's just
26:33unavoidant we do the best you can trying
26:35not to let that happen but every chance
26:37you have let's use good mechanics let's
26:39not try to lift and twist I'm going to
26:41call somebody Reaching Across the
26:43counter to grab a gallon of milk throw
26:44them back up they're calling 911 so they
26:46can't get off the floor just reach a
26:48bird down in the middle take the time to
26:50use some good technique right now if I
26:53was to lift something and um
26:56[Music]
26:58so if if I have this here and I lock my
27:01legs out and I just spend to pick up I
27:03put all the strain right here in my
27:04lower back right those muscles aren't
27:06meant for heavy lifting the ones that
27:08are are your big muscles in your legs
27:09how do you get them in play you have to
27:12bend your knees no because I was to bend
27:14my knees and sink my butt down whenever
27:16I'm lifting I lift as low as I can try
27:18to keep my head neck and back in line
27:20and then drive your legs straight up
27:21best way to do it you don't want to
27:23multitask and lift and twist and go at
27:25the same time you know lift it turn and
27:28then go one of the reasons you carry
27:31things at the lowest point that you can
27:33reach them is because let's suppose in
27:35this empty box I had it down here but
27:37it's full and now I'm trying to walk and
27:39then you're kicking it stuff while
27:41you're trying to do it it makes that job
27:42a little more difficult you want to hold
27:44it to where you can free your legs up as
27:46you're walking now if you're going to
27:47put it down
27:48get a good white base
27:50sink your butt back down and put it down
27:52if it's really heavy let's get some help
27:54right don't be that tough personality
27:56and help out with that might not even
27:59that heavy it just might be awkward it's
28:01okay to get some help just make sure
28:02that whoever's helping you lift that you
28:05communicate you all live that same time
28:07somebody will take charge and you all
28:09listen and lift that same time because
28:10if you don't if you lift early you got
28:12all the weight
28:14and if you lived early somebody else not
28:15ready you might be pinching their
28:17fingers always try to communicate and um
28:19let's let's work real smart here if
28:21you're going to go a long distance let's
28:22get a cart get a dolly get something to
28:25make your job easier right
28:27um if you do happen to have a car let's
28:29make sure we push it keep your head your
28:31neck your back in line so everything you
28:32see in front of you
28:34um it's just a safer way to go if you're
28:36pulling that card everything's behind
28:37you you can't see if it's going to shift
28:39or fall plus your whole upper body is
28:40Twisted as you go it's just always safer
28:43to do in that regard all right I know
28:45I'm rocking it through all these things
28:47but we got to get all this info in right
28:48we're going to talk about chemicals
28:50chemical's been around a long time it's
28:52all kinds of stuff that we've had to
28:53deal with and actually with these
28:55chemical Engineers there's just more
28:56crazy stuff that comes up every day I'm
28:58gonna go back to the basics right check
29:01out this container this container here
29:03very recognizable there's a lot of
29:05people that make household leaves and
29:07they put in a container that looks just
29:08like this this is a great cleaner that
29:09keeps your whites White Tile is fresh
29:11you know in a hospital setting when I
29:13work back in the 80s this is what we use
29:16to clean up body fluids right at 10 10
29:19parts of this 90 parts of water mixed
29:22together we clean up dry blood on the
29:24floor this is a great cleaner very
29:26recognizable now look at this container
29:28this container is not so recognizable
29:31there's a lot of things that come in a
29:32container it looks just like this dish
29:34soap bubble bath
29:36even syrup right they want to put the
29:38wrong stuff on your pancakes right
29:40how are you going to know exactly what
29:42you have what you got to redeem you read
29:44this thing it tells you it has ammonia
29:45in it and ammonia is a great cleaner man
29:47if I had a bucket of hot water right
29:49here all I did was take one or two
29:51capsules and put it in there right yeah
29:53I mean a great cleaner anybody that
29:55comes by while I'm using this you're
29:56able to smell it it has a distinct uh
29:59smell to it and it can be an inhalation
30:02Hazard right if you're in an enclosed
30:04area there's not much ventilation you
30:05need ventilation you want to hover over
30:07this thing sniff it in all day get you
30:09sticker right anytime you take any
30:11cleaners out don't leave the camp off
30:13always put the cap back on so you don't
30:15have Vapors continue to escape in the
30:17area that you're working
30:18one other thing about reading labels
30:20make sure it has one
30:22minors are people any type of safety
30:24inspection they go into a business and
30:26they find smaller containers and there's
30:27nothing on it man this is where the
30:29fines come from because this is where
30:31the danger is if you don't know what's
30:33in it don't touch it because only that
30:36can happen right
30:37um the big thing you're trying to do is
30:39prevent yourself from mixing chemicals
30:40you mix bleach with ammonia you actually
30:42create a deadly gas that's called
30:44hydrazine gas 50 parts per million can
30:47be deadly right
30:49it's one of the most common things that
30:50we end up getting calls on and we have
30:52situations on it thank goodness they're
30:55in household concentrations right not
30:57industrial concentrations I had one of
30:59the uh myosa reps was auditing our class
31:02and he came up talk to me after he said
31:06a workplace accident and it was a high
31:10school kid and it was told about the
31:12floor right big talking said he went
31:14into this little tiny closet where they
31:16had a sink and hose and a bucket and
31:18these two players were sitting on the
31:19shelf
31:20well kid wasn't sure which one to use
31:22right so instead of shutting water off
31:24to go ask well we can't do that right
31:25boss is intimidating he decided he was
31:28going to grab both of these containers
31:30and put it in and by the time that
31:32buffer filled up with water this kid
31:34fell backwards and passed out thank
31:36goodness he ended up okay but he still
31:38put himself in a bad way right now
31:41household my daughter her turn to clean
31:44our bathroom right and uh so she gets
31:47out the tub and tile cleaner and it's
31:48got a bleach space to it right she
31:50sprays everything down into the tub the
31:52tiles the toilet the backsplash the sink
31:54everything right but it's all foaming up
31:56well instead of wiping it down my body
31:58gets this great idea she's going to
32:00clean the mirror at the same time so she
32:02gets the window cleaner out to spray
32:03down the mirror you know the bass
32:05cleaner most window cleaners is ammonia
32:07she spread is not on my mirror all that
32:09ammonia dribbles down starts mixing in
32:11with the Bleach right on my own
32:12countertop my daughter comes out of my
32:14bathroom hacking and coughing her eyes
32:15are burning dead but nostrils are on
32:17fire
32:18she exposed herself to the this mixture
32:20of chemicals right you really have to be
32:22careful one cleaner at a time make sure
32:24it's all cleaned up before you go to the
32:25next one
32:26um one other area that this stuff can
32:28give me so let's say I do use the bleach
32:30I wipe it all down I take that rag I
32:32fill in the garbage then I use the
32:33ammonia and I wipe my mirror now and I
32:35take that rag you throw it in the same
32:36garbage they come together you have that
32:38same poison coming right out of your
32:40trash so make sure you don't do that
32:41either okay now in the work environment
32:44they have what's called a safety data
32:46sheet right the safety data she gives
32:48you all the information and by law the
32:50companies have to make this accessible
32:52to their employees of what the hazards
32:54are in their work environment right
32:57must be pretty important if they made it
32:59a law and you have the right to know
33:00maybe it's not your job to ever touch
33:03these kind of claims but
33:05he said no
33:06what if they store that stuff right next
33:08to you you don't ever have to touch it
33:10but it's nasty enough that there's a
33:12leak you got yourself in some trouble
33:13don't you want to know how to handle
33:15that how to get out of there safely
33:16maybe help your co-workers get out of
33:18there safely you do have that right then
33:20let's make sure we exercise that right
33:22okay one other thing about chemicals on
33:25a lot of big packaging or Vehicles
33:26they'll have what we call a quick
33:28reference they have placards okay these
33:30placards there's really nine different
33:32hazard classes but then they're
33:34subdivided in other classes but anyway
33:36pretty basic you see something like this
33:38we've probably all seen
33:40something very similar to this drive by
33:42a gas station where the filling those
33:43underground tanks I like gasoline's
33:45going right
33:46um poisonous gases stuff that's
33:48difficult to breathe in right the one
33:50that is probably the most common one
33:53that I have had in my career is dealing
33:55with corrosives where people have gotten
33:57hurt okay what is a girl say well it's
34:00kind of these things here right these
34:03different chemicals that people use and
34:05this is the stuff that actually gets
34:07into our system it starts to break down
34:09our system it starts to affect us
34:10there's four different ways this stuff
34:12gets into your system one is by
34:14breathing it in inhalation right this is
34:17probably the quickest way that you're
34:18going to get knocked down okay
34:21um the next one this is actually fairly
34:22common too is you're in an area and
34:24you're exposed to this and it just seeps
34:26Right Through Your Skin maybe it seeps
34:28around the mucous membranes your eyes
34:29and nose stuff like that these next two
34:31less common but they happen ingestion
34:34ingestion is simply eating I don't think
34:36you're going to pour yourself a couple
34:37weeks here have it with a sandwich right
34:40um but what if you're working it's break
34:42time you're hungry got a bag of chips
34:44maybe put that thing up just start
34:45rolling down if you haven't washed your
34:47hands you're putting those chemicals in
34:48your mouth it's always a good idea to
34:50wash your hands before you eat anything
34:52and then our last one is by injection
34:56I'm not talking about drawing something
34:57up and put it in there we're talking
34:59sharp contaminated objects that puncture
35:01your skin and create an entry point for
35:03uh for these chemicals to get into your
35:05system okay maybe it's a nail on the
35:07floor or something sticking off a work
35:08match maybe uh something sharp on a wall
35:10right and again here's those four ways
35:13now once that happens you're exposed and
35:16there's two types of exposure one is
35:18called an acute exposure acute means
35:20fast that doesn't mean proteins right
35:22now that kid in a fast food store you
35:24passed out pretty quick right that
35:25happened very quickly
35:27the other is a chronic exposure that
35:29means small amounts of chemicals
35:31repeatedly over long periods of time we
35:33have cigarettes up there for a reason
35:34every study they've ever done on
35:36cigarettes they found those hazardous
35:38chemicals to humans right rat poison
35:40carbon monoxide crazy stuff right they
35:43found in cigarettes um
35:45if you were to do a search online on the
35:48the hazards and chemicals in cigarettes
35:50there's about four thousand that they
35:52have found right and um yeah they're in
35:55really tiny quantities but this repeated
35:56use this is the leading cause of heart
35:58and lung disease high blood pressure
36:00right stroke
36:02um so you want to make sure that if
36:05you're in the workplace follow the rules
36:07unfortunately you're going to have
36:08somebody they're going to train you how
36:09to do a job you may have to deal with
36:11some hazardous substances
36:12and you got that 10-year employees been
36:14there and they do everything really fast
36:16and they take a few shortcuts and
36:18they'll try to defend their actions to
36:20you and say ah you don't need that
36:21safety stuff you don't even put them
36:23gloves on you don't need that mask I've
36:24never wear it look at me I'm fine don't
36:26listen to that person right
36:28I wonder how fine they're going to be in
36:30another 20 years right make sure you
36:31protect yourself as you go one other
36:33quick thing about being exposed or even
36:35being hurt on the job reported too many
36:38times something happens especially young
36:40people you got your job you're so happy
36:42you got a job you're making your money
36:44and then you knock something over you
36:46breathe something in or maybe you'll
36:47hurt yourself and you don't want to tell
36:49anybody because you're afraid you're
36:50going to get in trouble right don't
36:52worry about that you make sure that it's
36:54well documented and you make sure you
36:55get medical treatment right too many
36:57people imagine if something like that
36:58happened you breathe something in you
37:00got sick or you went home you get real
37:02sick your family doesn't know what's
37:04going on you start to become
37:06unresponsive they take you to the
37:07hospital the doctor's trying to figure
37:08it out they call you workplace the
37:10workplace says no we don't think
37:12anything happened here we don't have any
37:14record of it don't let that happen okay
37:16now you also got to listen to your body
37:18if you're in a certain area and
37:20something starts to happen
37:22um your body talks to you we actually
37:24call those symptoms symptoms are
37:26itchy watery eyes scratchy throat runny
37:29nose cough chest pain diarrhea right
37:31bring it in your ears maybe your joints
37:33start aching you get lightheaded listen
37:36to your body if you have any of those
37:37things again back out get medical
37:39attention get it documented make sure
37:40you've lost it

44:12let's talk about protective equipment
44:15Society is actually doing way better
44:16with this
44:18um we're talking personal protective
44:20equipment you know the fastest way to
44:22get knocked down is uh you know
44:24breathing something in we're all aware
44:25of these right but they have different
44:27levels of these dust masking that some
44:29are called n95s and they actually
44:31protect you from the pointer dust
44:33particles in the air because you don't
44:35want anything to get into your lungs
44:37right we also have we also have
44:41you know different kinds of respirators
44:43we got this half and a full shield
44:45respirator you know this is usually a
44:47time I'll ask a student hey let's
44:48suppose I'm your boss I want you to go
44:50clean my stove right storm is a mess we
44:53have this fancy new cleaner it's highly
44:54concentrated gotta mix it with water to
44:57use it but you got to wear this mask
44:59because if you breathe it in it could
45:01kill you right so just make sure you put
45:02this on the only thing that happened to
45:04you so let's suppose you're that
45:06employee you're in there you're working
45:07hard
45:09you've got the cleaner going and then
45:12all of a sudden and you even are wearing
45:13this mask and then the boss comes in and
45:15they tell you oh listen I'm really sorry
45:17I forgot to put one of these in your
45:19mask right my bad I'm sorry
45:22who's ultimately responsible for your
45:24safety equipment
45:26you are many people think it's the boss
45:29the boss absolutely has a responsibility
45:31to keep their employees safe ultimately
45:33you're the one in the mess so it's your
45:35responsibility as a firefighter my
45:37number one responsibility to make sure
45:39all my safety gear was going to keep me
45:40safe in a nasty situation that's the
45:43same goes with you never seen one of
45:45these this one you start asking how does
45:47it work do I have to be certified do I
45:48have to be fit tested to wear this you
45:50know these cans go in a certain way if
45:52you put it in backwards it might not
45:53work you have to have the right cam for
45:55whatever chemical you're protecting
45:56yourself from make this your
45:58responsibility you're the one in the
46:00mess right
46:01and the fire service we actually wear
46:03one it's a full face it's similar to
46:05this it's not like this and it's um we
46:08do have to be fit tested a fit test is
46:10simple we hook this up snug it up we're
46:12gonna jump through an air tank or hooked
46:14up to a computer we'll do jumping jack
46:15sit-ups push-ups what we're trying to do
46:17is see if we create a leak if it doesn't
46:19leak I got the right size if it leaves I
46:21kind of adjust this one or get a
46:23different size and you have to do it
46:24until you pass that test that system is
46:27called a self-contained breathing
46:28apparatus right now
46:30it's very similar to people who go deep
46:33sea diamond right
46:34um their system is called a scuba system
46:37so if I were to put the word underwater
46:39in the middle self-contained underwater
46:41breathing apparatus it's an acronym for
46:43scuba if you see the level B suit you
46:46got the uh the guy with the yellow tank
46:48that's a high pressure line going to a
46:50regulated mask regulated just means it
46:52takes a high pressure and it knocks it
46:54way down so it's very usable when you're
46:56breathing all of that is on the inside
46:58of this level a the level eight that's
47:00what my buddies wore to go in and drag
47:02Chris's body out of that water tank
47:03right
47:04these guys are experts expert amount of
47:07uh practice and time that they put in so
47:10that they can keep themselves safe
47:11wearing this thing you gotta picture
47:12this they don't practice this you need
47:15to be really efficient because that tape
47:17that yellow tank will give you 20 to 22
47:19minutes of hard work
47:21if it takes you five minutes to put that
47:23on you've almost been burned up 25 of
47:25your air they go in the tank they do
47:27what they have to do recover Chris's
47:28body they step out of this nasty tank
47:30they can't just start on zipping to
47:32breathe good air they have to go through
47:34a decontamination they have to make sure
47:35they do all of this before the heirlooms
47:37out right that's why they practice so
47:39much all right now
47:40so you're the employee and I got sitting
47:43there working with a liquid-based
47:44cleaner and I give you these type of
47:45gloves to use right these are 100 cotton
47:48is that the wrong stuff of course it is
47:50right this isn't going to protect you
47:52it's not going to repel any liquids the
47:53way it's going to absorb just like a
47:55t-shirt right so instead of it
47:57protecting you now you're soaking in
47:59this stuff
48:00and that has to be a very painful thing
48:02now what about eye protection right
48:04you're supposed to work in an area where
48:05you're wearing safety glass and there's
48:07all kinds I mean I think I remember yeah
48:10quite some time ago I had to wear
48:11something like this in my wood shop it
48:13doesn't matter whatever you can use to
48:15protect your eyes let's do that because
48:17your eyes don't regenerate if I have to
48:19cut my arm and stands and bleeds or
48:21whatever in a couple weeks later you
48:23came until I was cut you damage outer
48:25layer of your eye called draconia it's
48:27permanent right matter of fact we took
48:29that information that that permanent
48:31damage happens use some amazing
48:33technology and we can reshape someone's
48:35eyes for them to see better but you
48:38don't want it to happen on accident
48:39right because then you're going to deal
48:40with that forever this guy here this guy
48:42walked by a high pressure line that line
48:44ruptured and um that redness and all
48:46that irritation all around his eye it's
48:48going to go away in a couple days the
48:50white part that little cloudy white part
48:52right about seven o'clock on that on
48:53that eyeball is uh permanent if that was
48:56in the middle of the black part they
48:57would have to deal with that for his
48:58entire life right probably end up with a
49:01corneal transplant to see clearly again
49:03all right what about head protection
49:05you're working somewhere and they tell
49:07you how to wear a hard hat wear a hard
49:08hat most of them really aren't designer
49:10mine is kind of embarrassing sometimes
49:13to wear out
49:14but
49:15maybe someone's working overhead
49:16low-lying areas maybe just people that
49:18walk around carrying a whole bunch of
49:20stuff you don't want to get hit maybe
49:21it's just to keep your hair up in your
49:23hands so it doesn't get caught in any
49:24moving parts right whatever it is if
49:26you're supposed to wear this stuff let's
49:28make sure we wear it this last picture
49:30of mine it's probably my worst one and
49:33uh if you want to look away now would be
49:35a good time
49:38so when you're looking at that
49:41I'm going to talk about this picture
49:42again in a little bit but as you look at
49:44that the um that's not the brain that's
49:47actually the skull on the very top right
49:49but we'll talk about that in a little
49:51bit I'm going to move on and we're going
49:53to talk about states of matter there are
49:56three states of matter
49:58basically and um
50:01you know the the one that's the most
50:03difficult for us to deal with between a
50:06gas a liquid and a solid is a gas right
50:09and the reason is because there's so
50:11many gases that are out there that we
50:13actually can't detect matter of fact one
50:16of them they gave a nickname they
50:19actually followed the silent killer
50:21right
50:25it's carbon monoxide right carbon
50:28monoxide is a silent killer because
50:30there is no way that your human body can
50:33detect the presence of carbon monoxide
50:36that's a poison of unburned gases that
50:38get into your system and test to your
50:40red blood cells right at a rate of 201
50:43over oxygen so it blocks out the ability
50:45of the option you basically suffocate on
50:47cellular enough okay now other gases
50:50colorless odorless tasteless gases right
50:54um there's helium is one of those
50:55colorless odorless stasis right dealing
50:58and putting a birthday balloon a balloon
50:59builds up
51:00it's lighter than air do you know
51:02natural gas that's those same four
51:04qualities natural gases colorless
51:06odorless tasteless it's also lighter
51:09than air if I don't know
51:10I know you all said anything oh wait a
51:12minute natural gas I smell it that stuff
51:14stinks you know what you actually smell
51:16it's called our captain it's an additive
51:18they put in the pipeline so that you
51:20know there's a leak but they didn't put
51:23that in there and you had a leak in your
51:24home you'd never know until it exploded
51:26right and that's why they put that in
51:28there now there are other gases that are
51:31heavier than air they'll stay in a
51:32low-lying area for great lengths of time
51:34propane I mean people Heat their homes
51:36of propane gas grills RVs
51:39um butane that's what I put in here
51:41they'll stay in there for great lengths
51:42of time now
51:44that new thing is in here you know fire
51:47needs three things about fire needs heat
51:49Fuel and oxygen if you take any one of
51:51those away that fire is going out so and
51:53here's the fuel here's the oxygen when I
51:55light this it's going to burn where all
51:57three come together okay check this out
51:59now if that uh Fuel and oxygen were all
52:02mixed in together and I let it pistol
52:05and be done in a hurry watch how long
52:07this takes in comparison
52:11and it takes its time because that
52:13oxygen is working its way in to work
52:16with the fuel and um and the heat so
52:18that it can maintain the kids learning
52:20right it's kind of crazy how long
52:22that'll stay in there if that was out in
52:24the air it would be one ball of fire in
52:26about half a second and it would have
52:27been done now
52:30that heat Fuel and oxygen thing actually
52:32has a name
52:34what happened to the fire extinguish
52:36Ed
52:38we put it back
52:41all right that heat Fuel and oxygen
52:43thing is called a fire triangle
52:46um fire doubles itself quickly uh this
52:49will say every 19 seconds I've actually
52:51seen it go way faster than that right
52:53you get a radical Christmas tree man
52:55those things go up in a hurry the thing
52:57is you want to have the edge how do you
52:59get the advantage smoke alarms smoke
53:01detectors they work they save lives
53:03right and carbon monoxide detectors we
53:05should all have those in our homes right
53:07now let's say that you're in a fire and
53:10you're in a fire setting and um yeah the
53:14fire extinguisher available I'm about to
53:15get one right now and uh
53:18one important question you got to ask
53:20yourself is that if you
53:23are in a fire
53:25the question is simple is the player
53:27blocking my exit man if the player is
53:29black and your only way out let's use
53:32this to make a path to get you out
53:33imagine if you try to use up this thing
53:36this one here is a little smaller and
53:37want to add this one this will last you
53:3810 to 12 seconds you don't have to fire
53:40out in that short of time you're in some
53:42serious trouble right now how do they
53:44work well they got a pin in them you
53:46pull this pin then you take the nozzle
53:49you aim the nozzle you squeeze these two
53:52handles together and then you sweep so
53:54if you can remember past pull aim
53:57squeeze and sweep that's how you operate
53:59this couple tips so when you aim this do
54:02not just aim it at all those pretty
54:03colors of the fire right this is under
54:05pressure I squeeze the handle the
54:06pressure shoots back at me you need to
54:08aim it at the base of the fire when you
54:10squeeze it and that comes out it's a
54:11continual gradual sweep and then you
54:14stay low remember take your back and
54:15holds a full blast to do this you get
54:17all those water droplets in the air if
54:19you take this thing completely fast
54:20you're going to create those air pockets
54:22and that fire can actually nip at you
54:24okay one quick thing too is some of
54:26these are huge some are heavy it's okay
54:29put it on the ground and drag it
54:31whatever you need to get it's a safety
54:33okay all right we talked about gases so
54:37let's talk about solids
54:39solid Zone you know have
54:42a certain danger to them
54:45in the form of dust right say we're
54:47working somewhere and you're kicking up
54:48a lot of dust you sweeping you're saying
54:50the drywall sanding wood and you can't
54:52see beyond five feet that actually
54:54becomes very very dangerous because it
54:55can explode right
54:57um I'm actually going to add a little
54:59dust to this environment there's a
55:00candle in here and pretty good explosion
55:02this morning let's see if we can do that
55:05same thing and see how dangerous this
55:07dust can be all right check it out oh
55:10yeah
55:11[Music]
55:15right this morning that thing popped way
55:18up it was actually much better
55:20um explosion now
55:21the last that I have is uh we talk about
55:24liquids just uh the one thing to
55:26understand is there are so many liquids
55:28that look very similar being a clear
55:30liquid liquids have oil water boils at
55:33212 degrees you know Water by itself at
55:36room temperature harms Us in no way
55:38unless we put it in our lungs right
55:40but if you boil it and it turns into a
55:42gas state it can peel your skin right so
55:44we have to understand that even in a
55:47liquid form if it turns into a gas form
55:49that different problems can actually
55:51happen to us all right I'm going to move
55:53on and talk about Machinery my last bad
55:55picture here
55:56right this guy uh had a loose article of
56:00clothing
56:02and um it caught on his sleeve and it
56:06pulled his arm into a wheel right I mean
56:08these are the things that we're trying
56:09to prevent for for us now hold on there
56:13you go perfect
56:14and just looked right around him all
56:16right so we don't want to give a machine
56:18the opportunity to get us right so let's
56:21not have moose articles of clothing no
56:23bracelets no neckties right no loose uh
56:26uh face scarves uh your hair if you have
56:29long hair it should be back and up right
56:31now the picture I showed you with the
56:32skulls showing that person never got
56:34physically hit on the head with anything
56:36that person's hair got caught in a
56:38machine and it tore their scalp off
56:40right it happened so fast
56:42so how do we prevent this from happening
56:43well we lock them out what does that
56:45mean in its simplest form my wife loves
56:47to bake right check it out those eight
56:49meters unwrap the cord plug it in
56:50eventually take the meters and put them
56:52in there well the second one's always a
56:54little tricky once you're trying to get
56:55it in she accidentally hits that thing
56:57turns it on my fingers are in the moving
56:58parts right man that's not how it should
57:00be you should put those things in first
57:03and then plug it in so that you don't
57:05have the chance of it energizing while
57:06you're using it right come home from uh
57:09come home from work one day my kids
57:11laying on the on the lift kit for the
57:13living room floor and he's got a
57:14screwdriver put my vacuum cleaner
57:15together all right so here I'm asking
57:17what happened he said he was vacuuming
57:19the belt on the inside for all and so we
57:22had a spare and we decided he was going
57:24to put it in real cool it took some
57:25initiative right
57:27so he's done doing it and I'm actually
57:29pretty proud that he's fixed it on his
57:31own but I just told him some you know
57:33you left the vacuum plugged in the
57:34entire time he was fixing it it only has
57:37a little time to switch on it then it
57:38got bumped and turned on his hands were
57:40at the moving parts that's how we got to
57:42lock it up if you have a big piece of
57:44machine you're at work can't lift it
57:46bolted to the ground super heavy what
57:49you do is you go to its power source and
57:51most places will have a lockout takeout
57:54system that looks similar to this and
57:56they'll have cards and clamps and locks
57:58and uh Golden's power source electricity
58:00level breaker you shut the breaker off
58:03um do you clamp it in the off position
58:04you lock it there right and then of
58:06course you let your supervisor know if
58:08you let them know what's wrong maybe
58:09it's missing safety guards just jamming
58:10up brake wires whatever if it's a small
58:13piece of equipment get it out of service
58:15don't let somebody use faulty equipment
58:17okay now Lawn Equipment gas powered
58:21equipment if you're using any kind of
58:22gas powered equipment never use indoors
58:24I know the first thought is yeah like
58:26I'm going to run my lawnmower in the
58:27living room right and I'd be talking
58:29about that the most common and used gas
58:31powered equipment is during a power
58:33outage someone takes that generator and
58:35they're put in the basement keep all
58:36that stuff from going bad in the freezer
58:38or refrigerator right
58:40that thing running puts out carbon
58:41monoxide I've already talked about how
58:43dangerous that is they had never run
58:44those things indoors if they've been
58:45running for any length of time they'll
58:47have a super hot surface they'll kill
58:48your skin you come in contact with it
58:51um
58:52if it runs out of gas right you got the
58:54gas can the time to fill it is certainly
58:57not right after ran out of gas it's
58:59still super hot and if you have a static
59:01charge do you have a static charger walk
59:03by somebody and you guys touch arms you
59:04shock each other that is enough to
59:07create a fire and explosion right there
59:08if you have the right mixture right
59:11um
59:11lawnmowers my lawnmower uh when I
59:14started it's got a safety feature never
59:16circumvent that say gp3 you know you got
59:18to pull the two handles together you
59:19pull that rib cord whatever stuff
59:21happens when you pull the record is it
59:22turns the engine and when it turns the
59:24engine it creates a spark through the
59:26spark plug back in the engine and that
59:28spark explodes the gasoline on the
59:30inside well that explodes and turns the
59:31engine some more so now you have a cycle
59:33going so if you're going to work on it
59:35you have to take the wire off of the
59:37spark plug so that cycle is disrupted
59:40imagine you have that lawnmower on the
59:42side somebody's scraping off all that
59:43dry Columbia grass under there but when
59:45they're doing it they're turning the
59:46blade the Blade's connected to the
59:48engine and you do it and then my lawn
59:50mower will start up that one spark is
59:52all it needs you get one spark fires it
59:54up your hands are in the moving parts of
59:55the lawnmower
59:57back to that safety feature when I was a
1:00:00kid I had one handle I could cut the
1:00:01grass and let go pick up uh papers pull
1:00:04weeds do whatever and stay and run it I
1:00:06also worked in an ER where people were
1:00:07missing fingers and toes because of it
1:00:09so now they put that safety feature in
1:00:12don't circumvent that no bungee cords
1:00:14nothing like that right because when you
1:00:16let go those two handles separate it
1:00:17kills the engine we have one of our
1:00:19workers right in our tunnel
1:00:21um operating a trash truck trash truck
1:00:23through all garbage in the middle and
1:00:26when that area got fully had to hit two
1:00:27buttons one flat on the top one against
1:00:29the side of the garbage truck and it
1:00:32would initiate this compacting where
1:00:34this metal plate would come down and
1:00:35compact it and that'll pay to go back up
1:00:37this guy took a sledgehammer put it on
1:00:39this button so he could hit just one and
1:00:40dump your ass with the other well he hit
1:00:42the button at the same time he threw a
1:00:44bag that plate came down the bag went in
1:00:45behind it this dude jumped up on that
1:00:47trunk and tried to grab that bag to pull
1:00:49it out he was too late that plate came
1:00:51up and smashed them right in there and
1:00:52it actually killed him he died right
1:00:54there on our city street because he
1:00:55circumvented the one thing that was
1:00:58going to protect him okay all right
1:01:00let's get into labor laws okay
1:01:02um this is real important it's kind of
1:01:04the nuts and bolts of everything here I
1:01:06want you to know a lot of things about
1:01:08this number one is if you have issues at
1:01:10work it's okay to call my OSHA there's
1:01:12all kinds of ways that you can get
1:01:13information
1:01:15um there's a there's a phone number
1:01:16there's a website
1:01:17but the biggest thing is you got to know
1:01:19you have rights you know you have the
1:01:20right to a safe and a helpful workplace
1:01:22right you have to write that if there's
1:01:23issues or safety problems that you can
1:01:25notify meiosa even your supervisors no
1:01:28backlash to you because you're concerned
1:01:30about safety right you have the right to
1:01:32work without any kind of racial issues
1:01:34any sexual harassment type stuff you
1:01:36have to write that if your job has
1:01:38hazards to and they have to train you in
1:01:39those hazards and if they require you to
1:01:41wear protective equipment in a lot of
1:01:43cases they have to provide it and in
1:01:45some you have to provide your own but
1:01:46they have to make sure you're using that
1:01:48proper stuff before you get started if
1:01:50you get hurt at work they pay your
1:01:51medical bills right they're also
1:01:53entitled to a minimum wage and there's
1:01:55some criteria that go along with that
1:01:57along with right self responsibilities
1:01:59this is the part we kind of lack
1:02:01sometimes
1:02:02I gotta ask there's a lot of you that
1:02:04are teenagers who probably have a job
1:02:06right now let's say something crazy
1:02:07happens at work maybe co-worker has a
1:02:09big old heart attack maybe they're down
1:02:10maybe somebody gets cut they get hurt
1:02:12they get hit with something and uh you
1:02:15need rescue you need police maybe
1:02:16there's a player
1:02:18so you grab your cell phone because
1:02:19that's the first thing that you have do
1:02:21you know the exact address that you can
1:02:23give that fire department or police
1:02:25officer to come to your building you
1:02:27know a lot of young people a lot of
1:02:28people in general could not give the
1:02:29exact address of their place in the
1:02:31climate you dial 9-1-1 from a landline
1:02:33it knows because it shows up right on
1:02:34the screen right do you know if your
1:02:37company has a first aid off kit do you
1:02:39know where to get that do you know if
1:02:41you have a if you're getting robbed you
1:02:42have a sign on our bike little things
1:02:44like that I think what's your
1:02:45responsibility if you're supposed to use
1:02:47safety equipment personal protective
1:02:48equipment let's make sure that you wear
1:02:50those things right
1:02:51um keep your safety guards in place keep
1:02:53your area neat and clean okay
1:02:56um look out for things that might harm
1:02:57you or your co-workers and really the
1:03:00biggest thing is if there is something
1:03:01that you don't feel right some kind of
1:03:03safety or helping make sure you report
1:03:06it right don't just let it go by banks
1:03:09that um you really can't do if you're
1:03:12not yet 18. you can't drive a car floor
1:03:14glitch High lowest car to your regular
1:03:15job not supposed to operate power tools
1:03:17saws drills pressure slicers compactors
1:03:21if you're not supposed to work in
1:03:23racking demolition excavation Roofing
1:03:25logging Sawmill stuff like that but
1:03:29there are places where you can do that
1:03:30some of those exceptions of training
1:03:32facilities like high schools right they
1:03:33have a wood shop they have auto shop the
1:03:35highly trained Professionals in those
1:03:37areas that are training people to do
1:03:38those things in the safest way and I
1:03:40think it's awesome
1:03:41um the three leading causes that young
1:03:43people actually are dying at work we
1:03:44told you we're at 60 70 a year and the
1:03:47three leading causes of driving a car
1:03:49operating machine are falling off of
1:03:50something all three are prohibited if
1:03:52you're not yet 18 you're not supposed to
1:03:54be doing any of those things
1:03:56in the work environment
1:03:58um if you're not 18 you got to have a
1:04:00permit in state of Michigan
1:04:01um to get usually get them through your
1:04:03school districts now there's three
1:04:04exceptions one is if your parents own a
1:04:06business don't need one to work for your
1:04:08parents you don't need one to work on a
1:04:10farm which is mind-boggling because
1:04:11there's so many farming accidents and
1:04:13the other is uh a co-op setting so if
1:04:15your school sets you up with a job
1:04:16there's different paperwork and things
1:04:18they do there the state knows there
1:04:19should be a good balance between work
1:04:21and study in place so they put some
1:04:23restrictions on how much you work if
1:04:25you're 14 or 15 you get you can't work
1:04:28before 7 A.M after nine PM really
1:04:30doesn't leave you a lot of time
1:04:31especially on school days to work now 16
1:04:3317 6 a.m to 10 30 that's before school
1:04:37day 11 30 on weekends or middle school
1:04:39the next day the big thing is they don't
1:04:41want you to work more than five straight
1:04:42hours without a 30 minute break the
1:04:44numbers don't lie people get hurt at the
1:04:46end of their shift right maybe you get a
1:04:48little mental fatigue they want you to
1:04:50take that kind of recover finish off
1:04:52that day as safe as you can how do you
1:04:55uh refuse to do unsafe work you know if
1:04:58you were my employee and I gave you a
1:04:59nasty job like to clean your store room
1:05:01with that nasty cleaner and you told me
1:05:02no I'm not doing it and you might get
1:05:04fired how can you not lose your job
1:05:06still not put yourself in danger it's
1:05:07called a conditional refusal
1:05:10look I don't feel comfortable I think
1:05:12I'm putting myself in danger I've never
1:05:14seen that before how it works right
1:05:16there is a proper way to refuse to do
1:05:18something until you're educated on what
1:05:20you're working with and you're trained
1:05:21how to keep yourself safe mistake nodes
1:05:23are four areas where young people get
1:05:25their first job they want us to talk
1:05:27real quick about those janitorial
1:05:29cleanup I already talked about all these
1:05:31chemicals right make sure we use them
1:05:32safe
1:05:33uh even taking off the trash whatever
1:05:35you do don't Jam your foot or your hand
1:05:37and make more space and when you're
1:05:38taking that bag out of the garbage only
1:05:40touch what you see right
1:05:42um be careful of pushing down on it to
1:05:44make space to tie it up because that air
1:05:46that's in there is going to shoot right
1:05:47back at you right be careful for Sharp
1:05:49eyes especially in a hospital setting
1:05:51you don't want to get poked with a derby
1:05:53needle how about food service industry a
1:05:55lot of you young folks work in the food
1:05:56service industry slippery floors they
1:05:58had a drill I worked with I was at a
1:06:00McDonald's I was 16 years old she was
1:06:02walking by the French fry machines or
1:06:03french fry makers and split develop put
1:06:06her hand out stop herself and falling
1:06:08for a regular fryer right any hot uh
1:06:10surfaces anything that has the ability
1:06:12to be hot let's assume that it is what
1:06:15if you're using a sharp object use it
1:06:17the way it's intended safely when you're
1:06:18not using it put the thing down right
1:06:20too many people you get that Amazon box
1:06:22you cut it open you got the box cutter
1:06:24you open it up you still got that box
1:06:25cutter in your hand while you're getting
1:06:26stuff out right only bad can happen
1:06:29office of clerical what's the hazard
1:06:31there well sometimes stress and stress
1:06:33been proven to be a health risk maybe
1:06:35you have a boss difficult to work with
1:06:37maybe charge a payroll you don't want to
1:06:38mess up somebody's paycheck right how
1:06:40about your workstation you cycle now
1:06:42your risk is sore if that happens talk
1:06:44to somebody maybe you sit in a chair all
1:06:46the time you got low back pain make sure
1:06:47you communicate this if you have to lift
1:06:49use the big muscles in your legs
1:06:51especially that and in retail

1:07:05the Smashing grabs that they're just so
1:07:07bold these criminal criminals anymore
1:07:09you got to keep yourself safe in the
1:07:10workplace there was a kid 16 year old
1:07:13Justin mellow working in New Baltimore
1:07:15Michigan and I had a pizza shop the
1:07:17adult took off to deliver a pizza
1:07:18because the kid couldn't drive his car
1:07:20for his job right somebody comes in the
1:07:2216 year old by himself they kill the kid
1:07:24they run the store it's more than 15
1:07:25years ago I still don't know what we did
1:07:27their kids have never been left alone if
1:07:29any of your work Reach Out

1:07:32boss is running out to the bank or the
1:07:34post office don't let them leave you
1:07:36alone it's against the law there's a
1:07:37retail safety checklist we pulled a few
1:07:39things out of there one is going to work
1:07:41alone the other is your parking lot
1:07:43should be well lit even if it is walk in
1:07:45and out with people every chance you get
1:07:47imagine if you're the same person
1:07:49four or five days a week at the exact
1:07:51same time you're leaving work and you're
1:07:52by yourself if someone recognizes that
1:07:54pattern you actually become more
1:07:56vulnerable guest register should be in
1:07:58plain view of the people that you work
1:07:59with so they can see that exchange and
1:08:01again if you're being robbed or
1:08:03something do you have a silent alarm
1:08:05button do you know how to get a hold of
1:08:07people if there's an issue how do you
1:08:08take care of the unhappy customer man if
1:08:10somebody comes in they're irate they
1:08:12bought something or something's not
1:08:13right
1:08:14um whatever you do don't ignore them
1:08:15they only get matter don't challenge
1:08:17them right you're gonna end up fighting
1:08:19with them don't let them vacuum in the
1:08:21corner so you don't have an escape make
1:08:23sure you've got a way to get out of
1:08:24there if it goes bad we call this the
1:08:25umbrella techniques they call them speak
1:08:27soft
1:08:29um username if you know if they know
1:08:30yours is not a big deal ask them to sit
1:08:32down if they don't sit you don't either
1:08:34right apologize for what's going on not
1:08:36that you think it's your fault but
1:08:38sometimes that can defuse the situation
1:08:40and thank somebody for being patient
1:08:42maybe maybe they're not patient but
1:08:43sometimes thinking it gives them a good
1:08:45idea right
1:08:46um but whatever you do make sure you
1:08:48don't handle it by yourself
1:08:49here's our last segment and um it's
1:08:52about harassment type issues mainly
1:08:54sexual harassment but others um under
1:08:56sexual harassment there's two forms one
1:08:58is called a quid pro quo all that means
1:09:00is there's this offer for an exchange
1:09:02right
1:09:03um and you can figure out what it is
1:09:05talking about sexual grass the other is
1:09:07a hostile environment that means by your
1:09:09actions you're making it difficult for
1:09:11someone else to do the job they're paid
1:09:12to do and I have a handful of uh
1:09:15examples right the words you use honey
1:09:17sweetheart
1:09:18um you know you can't walk into work and
1:09:20look at your co-working man you look
1:09:22awesome you know but things like that
1:09:24may be cool somebody may like to hear
1:09:26that but somebody may not how do you
1:09:28know the difference you don't so you
1:09:30don't do it it creates a bad environment
1:09:31somebody could be real defensive they're
1:09:34there to work they don't want your
1:09:35advances right how about jokes you tell
1:09:37a sexual joke at work of course you're
1:09:38gonna have people feeling really
1:09:40uncomfortable what if it's a different
1:09:41kind of joke a racial joke ethnic joke
1:09:44religious joke God forbidden today's
1:09:46game political joke right you're going
1:09:49to create a stereotype that you might
1:09:51not even believe in what the joke is you
1:09:53just think it's funny man you start
1:09:55doing that at work you can create some
1:09:56bad situations where you have some
1:09:58animosity with your co-workers the
1:10:00biggest one is sexual favors
1:10:02maybe you're going for a job promotion
1:10:04and there's some kind of an exchange
1:10:06like hey you know we'll see to it that
1:10:08you get this promotion if or you get in
1:10:10trouble and you got a boss who says hey
1:10:11look I'll sweep this under the rug if
1:10:13right you got to report that stuff
1:10:15that's that quid pro quo we want to make
1:10:18sure that um we don't put ourselves in
1:10:20that position it's been found that the
1:10:21people that do this they will never stop
1:10:23doing it so you got to make sure you
1:10:24report it touching or making someone's
1:10:27personal space we all know about six
1:10:29feet nowadays right but don't we all
1:10:31have that friend of telling you a story
1:10:32they get right up in your grill right or
1:10:33they want to touch you while they're
1:10:34talking to you make sure that you give
1:10:36everybody their space keep your hands to
1:10:38yourself okay
1:10:40um any kind of I've seen language
1:10:42explicit hand gestures stuff like that
1:10:44you really got to be careful because
1:10:46that can create a rough situation at
1:10:49work I was even training that a simple
1:10:51eye roll at work could create some
1:10:53issues with co-workers right you want to
1:10:56treat people with the respect that you
1:10:57would want yourself okay again sexual
1:10:59favors is up there again last two I have
1:11:02excluding people you work with from
1:11:05conversations from things you have to
1:11:06discuss maybe your co-worker things you
1:11:08do
1:11:09um that could get you in trouble we had
1:11:11a fire department that they were all
1:11:13guys that hired a female and um none of
1:11:16those guys wanted that woman actually an
1:11:18artist we hired one a few years after
1:11:20they did she's awesome in fact right now
1:11:22she's a captain of the fire department
1:11:23I'm retired from they're going to be
1:11:25right to be there as they did but these
1:11:27guys didn't want her in their man's
1:11:29world so they never talked to her they
1:11:31didn't tell her the important stuff like
1:11:32what they used on the fire truck what
1:11:34needs to be replaced where the last fire
1:11:36was what the training is about right
1:11:38these guys too we got fired they went
1:11:40through a bunch of sensitive attorney
1:11:42and they got their jobs back but it was
1:11:45just an immaturity thing man treat
