HR IN ACTION CASE INCIDENT 2 Carter Cleaning Company Motivating Safe Behavior CHAPTER 14 Employees' safety and health are very important in the laun dry and cleaning business. Each facility is a small production compressed air work at high temperatures washing, cleaning, plant in which machines, powered by high-pressure steam and and pressing garments, often under very hot, slippery condi- as Chemical vapors are continually produced, and caustic chemicals are used in the cleaning process. High-temperature soills are almost continually "cooking down" cleaning solvents in order to remove impurities so that the solvents can be re- much steam into the still a boil-over occurs, in which boil. used. If a mistake is made in this process-like injecting too ing chemical solvent erupts out of the still and over the floor, and on anyone who happens to be standing in its way. As a result of these hazards and the fact that these stores continually produce chemically hazardous waste, several government agencies (including OSHA and the EPA) have strict guidelines regarding management of these plants. For example, posters must be placed in each store notifying em- ployees of their right to be told what hazardous chemicals they are dealing with and what the proper method for han- dling each chemical is. Special waste management firms must be used to pick up and properly dispose of the hazard- ous waste. A chronic problem the Carters (and most other laundry owners) have is the unwillingness on the part of the cleaning. spotting workers to wear safety goggles. Not all the chemicals they use require safety goggles, but some-like the hydro- fluorous acid used to remove rust stains from garments-are very dangerous. The latter is kept in special plastic contain- ers, since it dissolves glass. The problem is safety goggles are somewhat uncomfortable, and they become smudged easily and thus reduce visibility. As a result, Jack has found it al- most impossible to get these employees to wear their goggles. 14-21. Questions 14-20. How should the firm go about identifying hazard- ous conditions that should be rectified? Use data and checklists, such as in Figure 14-4 and the Management skills feature on pages 426-429, to list at least 10 possible dry cleaning store-hazardous conditions. 14-22. 14-23. 426 PART 5 EMPLOYEE AND LABORATIONS FORCON tegy FIGURE SA Supervisor's Safety Checklist Source: Office of the Child Information Officer United States Department of Commerce plocio o doc. go/group.publiceede ou/ociolo documents code 01 00257 ced October 15, 2013 US Department of Commerce Ofic Safety Inspection Checklist for Super and Program Managers trali Qadivada ht the best incom halin see is idention in der Work Eat Wang Working Surface o o o oid oo o o oo oo oo o ot; o oo ota 0 0 0 0 0 : o o o or oo oo oo o o oo 0 Ergo (continuel CHAJTER 14 PROVING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY, HEALTH AND RISK MANAGEMENT 427 Emergency Information (Puting) Yes 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 nd Fire Prevention Atelif 07 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ella - wall, Irder Emergency Exits NA 8 8 hot Axt Tours TORRONE 0 m in 00 An einety rella A lis dire in he dent (continued) EMPLOYEE AND LABOR RELATIONS TORMCD-1 NO) Electrical Systems (Please have your facility maintenance person or clectric company you during this part of the inspection) NA ? bewolf to oooooooooooooo 10 OOOOOOOOOOO Amirah At Al OOO wy And o set Pin w FORM CDS Material Storage NA oo O.
