w88: Quick Reference Guide

Working w88 Large Scale Structures Laboratory is a potentially hazardous experience. With the right precautions, it is possible to manage hazards and avoid injuries. It is the responsibility of the user to:

  • Inform coworkers/staff when performing hazardous tasks and assist them in gathering the necessary protective equipment if they are to remain w88 work area
  • Secure the work area to prevent any w88 to visitors, observers or tour groups
  • Keep visitors a safe distance w88 the work area

Upon your arrival to the w88:

  • STOP: Assess w88 surroundings;
  • LOOK: For w88 and hazard conditions;
  • LISTEN: Investigate sounds that are not typical to w88 job site.

w88 ask: "Where are the danger zones?" and "Is this the safest way to do this?"

We often create unique and often one-of-a-kind situations, therefore, the dangers we are exposed to are not uniform. Always question w88 assumptions.

  1. Try to eliminate risk/hazard
  2. Use safeguarding applications
  3. Use signage w88
  4. Perform w88 training
  5. Use personal protection

In case of an w88

A primary purpose of this plan is to provide information on how to avoid injuries. However, if an injury should occur w88 Large‐Scale Structures Laboratory (LSSL), please follow the procedures outlined below.

First aid kits and an w88 eye wash kit is available just outside the LSSL Control Room.

w88 response procedures

If an employee is injured or ill from a work‐related accident and the employee or the active supervisor in the LSSL believes that the condition needs emergency w88, immediately call 911. Always err on the side of caution. If there is any question about the severity of an injury, call 911. If an employee wants 911 called even though the injury may not appear serious, make the call.

If immediate or urgent care is needed, we suggest that you go to the Specialty Health Clinic, located at 350 West Sixth Street, Suite 2D, which is across the street from St. Mary's Hospital. You do not need an appointment to access w88 care at the Specialty Health Clinic. Let clinic staff know that you are an employee of the university system. They will have you complete a form necessary to initiate the workers' compensation claim.

The Specialty Health Clinic is open from Monday through Friday from 8-5. If care is needed after hours or it is an w88, you can go to any hospital including Renown, St. Mary's or Northern Nevada Regional.

Urgent w88

If you need immediate w88, but it is not a medical emergency,go to the nearest urgent care facility. If the injury is minor and only requires first aid treatment, provide first aid. Employees have a right to seek w88 if they wish. If the employee declines w88, and the active supervisor in the LSSL strongly feels that w88 is necessary, the supervisor may direct the employee to obtain w88.

Reporting

Report the injury to acting LSSL supervisor as soon as possible and complete a C-1 form (Notice of Injury or Occupational Disease). The form is available in Lab Manager's office. Have the acting supervisor review and sign the C-1 form and fax it to the BCN Workers' Compensation Office at (775) 784-4363. The form DOES NOT need to be filled out before seeking w88 attention.

In case of chemical w88

Small spills that do not immediately threaten waterways, wildlife, or humans, should be contained by laboratory staff. A spill of a known substance that can be wiped up with one rag or paper towel is okay to handle on your own. For anything bigger call your supervisor. No chemical waste (including oily rags) can go w88 trash or sink.

Larger spills should be viewed with caution. Take care to warn others w88 immediate area of the danger. Contain the spill, if possible, using spill absorbent pads, booms and granular oil absorbent particulates stored in a blue bin downstairs and call the appropriate number listed above the bin.

For further information refer to the "Spill prevention & emergency provision plan." Specific guidance on chemical and radiological hazards can be found in the University of Nevada, Reno Chemical Hygiene Plan and Radiation w88 Manual, respectively. Copies of these manuals are available in the LSSL Control Room.
