14 The idea behind this calendar is repetitive training, the same way we learned our A,B,Cs and,,s as children. The rooms division manager or engineering manager can help assure the correct response to potentially hazardous situations by regularly training the staff on these scenarios. Of course, not every possible scenario is listed on the calendar that follows; the situations listed are those we know occur from time to time and affect the safety and security of the associates, guests and hotel. These topics repeat approximately every two months. January, March, May, July, September, November Statement. Guest room windows should open a maximum of four inches for safety of children and security.. The drain covers on pool drains secured in place with all retaining screws in their proper location.. Missing eye guards and tool rests replaced on the shop grinder.. Check the bathtub bottom for slip resistance when PM ing the guest rooms.. The shop grinder should not be used to grind soft materials that may load the wheel.. A hot work permit system utilized to supervise cutting, welding or other operations with open flames.. The recreational and exercise equipment inspected daily.. Check compactors to ensure all safety controls are in place.. Get help when lifting heavy or awkward-to-grasp objects.. Buckle up when coming and going to and from work.. Always wear protective rubber gloves when working on guest room toilets. Desired response Hotels have learned the hard way that small children can fall out of windows that open six inches or more. A maximum opening of four inches is necessary to be sure the children are safe. There have been horrible accidents where hair and body parts have been caught in drains. Having the drain cover in place can help prevent many of these accidents. There are no replacements for your eyes. Protect them at all times. Properly adjusted tool rests help prevent accidents where tools become trapped between the grinder wheel and tool rest and where the torque of the wheel throws the tools off the rest. Slips and falls remain the most frequent accidents. Many tubs do not have factory-etched slip protection; in others, this etched surface becomes dirty and loses its effectiveness. There are permanent mats and etching products that can be used to restore these surfaces. Grinding wheels are designed for ferrous metals (steel and iron), which are worn away while wearing away the wheel. Aluminum, brass, copper and other soft metals adhere to the wheels and have potential for collecting heat and causing the wheel to explode. Hot work (oxy-acetylene cutting/welding, electric welding, open flame soldering, hot tar roof, etc.) carefully supervised to ensure proper precautions are taken to reduce the fire hazard (move combustibles, reduce the potential exposure, move tar kettles away from the building) and to prevent starting a fire with the flame, hot slag or other residue. The recreational and exercise equipment receives hard usage and wear. The be inspected daily. If the equipment is unsafe, it taken out of service until the necessary repairs can be made. Compactor accidents do not happen with great frequency, but they are frequently tragic. Deadman-type switches and door interlocks operable; keys should not be left in key-operated switches. It may be necessary to wire oil heaters to work without the key being in place. This is a frequent cause of back injuries, trip and fall accidents and damage to objects being dropped. Get help from a fellow worker or a piece of equipment such as a dolly or cart and plan your move to ensure a clear path. The most dangerous thing you do each day may be driving or riding to and from work. Be safe while in the auto. Most automobile accidents happen within miles of our homes. One of the greatest hazards to the health of the engineer is hepatitis. The germ of this disease can live outside the body for an extended period of time. Hepatitis C is not a curable disease.

15 . After renovation, check for painted sprinkler heads and smoke detectors.. Gasoline and gasoline-fueled equipment should not be stored near open flames, i.e., boiler room, kitchen.. A clay-based, noncombustible absorbent used for oil spills, not rags.. Electrical receptacles near bars, wait stations and sinks protected by GFCIs.. pool chemical concentration and ph checked at least daily.. Inspections are not completed until they are properly documented.. Highlight trip hazards until they can be permanently corrected.. Electrical panels exposed to public access tampering.. The door to the roof locked and the key placed on the emergency key ring, unless the local fire code requires it remains unlocked.. Document nonfunctional lights; repair ASAP.. Inventory paint storage; dispose of paint not used in the last six months.. Your uniform and name tag identify you as a member of the hotel staff. Not wearing proper identification compromises the guests and your security.. Equipment powered by air, gas, hydraulics or other energy sources not just electrical equipment locked out before working on them.. Become familiar with MSDS. They contain information needed for first aid and medical treatment in the event of an accident. After a renovation is completed, sprinkler heads and smoke detectors are often left covered with plastic, tape or are painted. These require replacement to be considered reliable. The explosive power of gasoline fumes is tremendous. Even small containers of gasoline stored in an outside storage building or in approved cabinets. Clay-based absorbents are the safest way to clean up oil spills. We have been aware of the hazards of piles of oily rags since our childhood. Wherever electrical appliances have the potential of coming into contact with water or excessive moisture, the electrical circuit supplying the appliance protected with a GFCI. In order to maintain the quality of the swimming pool water at a desirable level, the ph and chemicals checked daily; more frequent checks might be necessary as usage increases. Some hotels routinely check the water three times per day. In the event of an accident, a fire or other emergency, part of the defense of the hotel action is the documentation of preventative maintenance and inspections related to the safety of equipment. If you document it, you can prove you did it. Hazards eliminated as soon as possible. In the interim, highlighting a hazard can prevent many accidents. Preventing the general public from having access to electrical equipment prevents many potential problems from mischief to malicious actions. An open door to the roof can be an invitation to a tragedy or malicious activities that can result in personal injury and property damage. Lights that are not burning can be a safety and security liability and restored as soon as practical. Even though it is not always practical to relamp or repair lights immediately, the management staff needs to be aware of them. If you haven t used paint in the last six months, it may be obsolete, taking up space and may present an unnecessary fire hazard. Without a proper uniform and a name tag identifying you as staff, you cannot be distinguished from the general public. The guests and other staff members rely on this as you enter guest rooms and work about the hotel. Lockout/tagout applies to other sources of energy with the potential to create a hazard. You would not want someone to activate the hydraulic system on the elevator while you are cleaning the pit or turn on the gas valve if you are repairing a stove or heater. The MSDS contain the first-aid information, should an associate have a harmful exposure (chemical in the eyes, mouth, nose, etc.). Hotels also frequently add chemicals to their inventory, and the associates may not be familiar with the hazards associated with the product.

16 . Take extra precautions when taking fire protection systems out of service. Notify the fire department, insurance company and risk management department.. every emergency Engineering is key in these situations.. Never lend your keys to someone else.. Mixing pool chemicals can have deadly results. 0. every emergency Engineering is key in these situations.. Gas cylinders secured to prevent them from falling over and injuring people and potentially becoming a rocket. Minimizing hazards and delaying hazardous operations (hot work, etc.) while the fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service only makes good sense. The fire department, insurance company and risk management department advised and may offer additional advice. You probably know what to do in case of a fire, but what about a power outage, tornado warning or a flood warning? Do you know your role? These will vary at each hotel. You are responsible for the contents of the rooms your keys open. Electronic keys also leave an audit trail of whose key opened a door. Mixing any chemicals is discouraged. The chemicals used to keep a swimming pool or spa ready for use are very reactive to each other and can release deadly gases. Everyone should know his or her responsibility during an emergency. However, the engineering department is especially important; engineers are frequently responsible to know more about the building. Gas bottles, helium, CO oxygen and acetylene are heavy and can easily crush the bones in a foot. They also have the potential to become rockets if the valve is broken off accidentally, as some have well over,000 psi of stored pressure in them. February, April, June, August, October, December.

Rips in carpets, potholes and similar trip hazards repaired as soon as possible to reduce the potential for an accident. To ensure adequate pathways, inches is a bare minimum; back-ofhouse exit paths may require more space if several meeting rooms or a ballroom use the path as an exit. Thirty-six inches is the minimum for ADA also. Keep storage out of the pathways. There have been several deaths in fires, because the arrows on the exit signs indicated an incorrect direction of travel. Little things matter. Guests, and probably employees, have suffered major eye injuries, because bungee cords slipped from their hands while stretched, and the metal hook struck them in the eye. As we become more international in our business, it is more important to insure that our guests do not confuse feet with meters. Where there s smoke, there s fire. Fire and flammable liquids, which emit heavier-than-air fumes, do not mix well. Carelessly discarded butts can also ignite ordinary combustibles such as paper and linens. This is an NFPA standard. Equipment operated on a regular basis is more reliable; equipment failures are also detected in nonemergency situations. Carelessly discarded butts can also ignite ordinary combustibles such as paper and linens.

17 . Breaches to walls repaired with a patch of the same fire rating as the original wall.. Broken security equipment such as closedcircuit TV cameras repaired or replaced ASAP.. pool gate should close and latch automatically. The latch above the reach of small children.. Protective splash-proof goggles and gloves used when handling swimming pool chemicals.. The doors and gates to pool, electrical and telephone equipment, etc., kept unauthorized access.. Storage must be maintained at least inches below the sprinkler heads.. A recorded inspection of all fire protection be conducted monthly, in accordance with NFPA standards.. The laundry chute doors should close and latch securely.. Report unlocked doors that are normally locked.. Stairwell doors should close and latch when released.. Report damages to ladders immediately; don t use damaged ladders.. Good shoes are essential to a good safety program; they leather with slip-resistant soles and possibly steel safety toes.. Cribs free of snag points.. The power on light bulb on the control panel for the fire pump should light so it can easily be determined power is available. Firewalls and fire barriers, including floors, are put into place for the purpose of stopping or retarding the spread of fire, heat and smoke. Holes or other breaches in walls repaired with fire-rated materials so they may be considered reliable. Inoperable security equipment is a liability and repaired immediately. If it is deemed the equipment cannot be repaired, it should be replaced or removed. pool gates checked daily to insure the automatic closing device and the latch are operating as designed. If not, repairs made immediately. These may be the only barriers preventing a tragic accident. Eyes are one of the most delicate organs; sight is one of our most valued senses. Protect them from possible damage from severe chemicals. Protect your hands also; replacement skin is not readily available. Guests, and particularly young guests, must be protected from themselves. The hotel must be protected from the curious and the malicious guests or visitors. For sprinklers to operate as designed, it is necessary to leave a clearance of inches or more between them and the top of storage. If any equipment is to be considered reliable, it must be inspected to be sure there has been no tampering or breakage of vital components. Unlocked laundry chute doors present two hazards: First, a fire in the laundry can send heat and smoke up the chute where it can escape to the guest room corridors if the door is not securely latched. Second, there have been numerous incidents of children and young guests falling down chutes, resulting in severe injuries and death. Remote exit doors and storage rooms are usually kept locked. If you discover such a door unlocked, inquire if there is a legitimate reason. Check to ensure electronic locks on exit doors are working properly. A fire can send heat and smoke into the stairwell where it can block the safe exit from the hotel if the doors on the guest room floors do not latch securely. The discharge door should latch and lock for security reasons to prevent unauthorized access to guest room floors. Using damaged ladders is a sure recipe for disaster. When you least expect it, the ladder will fail, and the resultant injury may be severe. Leather shoes are needed, because they are more puncture-resistant and less absorbent than other materials. Some shoe soles feel like you re on ice when there is the slightest bit of moisture or oil on the floor. Slip-resistant shoes are essential. Shoes with safety toes are a judgement call, usually not necessary, but their use considered. The hotel s cribs hold the guests most precious objects. Cribs usually arrive safely from the manufacturer. We must be sure they are maintained in that condition. This is the only indication that the power is available for an electric fire pump; if the bulb goes out, there is no indicator. If you discover a bulb not burning, investigate or report it to the maintenance supervisor or chief engineer.

18 . Restrict access to the exercise room to prevent unsupervised small children from entering the room.. The control of lights in public areas such as guest laundry rooms, fitness centers and public restrooms restricted.. Storage removed from stairwells. Storage in stairwells is strictly prohibited.. All electrical wiring enclosed in conduit, and missing junction box covers replaced.. All hotel key rings turned in before leaving the property at the end of the shift.. No diving signs installed on the pool deck near the pool coping. One sign on each depth marker is recommended.. The fire protection equipment, sprinkler valves and fire extinguishers inspected monthly in accordance with NFPA. 0. Flammable and combustible materials minimized.. The flammables and aerosols stored in the flammable liquid cabinet when not in use. Small children can be and have been severely injured in exercise rooms. They do not know the machines are not large toys. We do not want to give felons the ability to turn the lights off and commit assaults or other crimes in public restrooms, exercise rooms, guest laundry rooms, etc. The stairwell is your way out of the building in the event of an emergency. Storage that could be involved in a fire could block this emergency egress. Exposed electrical wiring can often be damaged, expose the conductor inside the insulation and create shock and fire hazards. To protect the security of hotel property and sometimes the guest s security, all hotel keys left at the hotel at the end of the work shift. The individual employee s alibi is much better if property is missing after hours if they don t have a key to storage rooms or shops. The injuries resulting from guests striking their heads are often severe, sometimes resulting in paralysis, with lawsuit settlements in the millions of dollars. Not having proper signage adversely affects the lawsuits. This is an NFPA code requirement. It also helps to assure that valves are open, extinguishers haven t disappeared and systems work when needed. This simply minimizes the potential fire hazard presented by these materials. The fewer the better. Flammable liquids and aerosols contain a high concentration of BTUs per pound and therefore increase the fire hazard potential. Aerosols may become flaming rockets during a fire.
