SAFETY FIRST

Safety Mission:

“Clementon Park and Splash World’s Safety Mission is to provide a safe and secure workplace for all Team Members and Guests of the park through thoughtful programs, policies, and procedures that are implemented day one and are kept at the forefront of everything that we do as a company.”

Purpose:

SAFETY FIRST will serve as your guide to all of the policies and procedures that have been put into place to help ensure your safety and that of our guest. It is our expectation that ALL of these steps outlined are followed and that shortcuts are not allowed.

SAFETY FIRST Let’s put safety into perspective… Have you or anyone you’ve known been

seriously injured in because of an accident?

How did the injury impact them? How did the injury impact you?

When we are not working safe, expect the worst.

The Domino Effect Every accident is

the result of a chain of events that occurs.

Each domino has a name and represents an unsafe act.

If a domino is removed it breaks the chain and the accident is avoided.

What is the Impact? Any time an accident occurs it

impacts the whole Team. Physical Impact

Injured person Everyone else working to fill void.

Emotional Impact Dealing with a friend/ co-worker/ loved one

who is injured. Coming back to work after injury.

Business Impact

SAFETY FIRST – Things to Know

Hazardous Communication Plan:

The Hazard Communication Plan will be kept and maintained by the Human Resources Department. All Full-time Regular and Seasonal Team Members will be informed of their “Right to Know” in accordance to OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 1910.1200. Any Team Member may request a copy of this plan during their employment with Clementon Lake and Splash World by notifying the Human Resources Manager. A copy of the Hazardous Communication Plan and any applicable MSDS Sheets will be located in each stand. Master copies will be maintained in the EMS Trailer and Human Resources.

Hazardous Communication Plan: Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS):

MSDS’s inform Team Members of everything they may need to know in order to work safely with chemicals. The MSDS tells you how to use, handle, and store the chemical safely. Each MSDS may look a little different, but will contain the same information, including:

Chemical Identification Hazardous ingredients Physical data Fire and Explosive hazard data Health Hazard data Reactive data Spill Leak procedure Special protection information Special Precautions

It is the responsibility of each Team Member not to use any chemical unless he/she has received the appropriate training for that item. If you have questions concerning certain chemicals, please see your Supervisor before using a certain chemical.

Hazardous Communication Plan:

Warnings: Always check the warning label before handling any

Chemicals. If you have any questions about a hazardous chemical after reading the label, you can check the MSDS.

Never mix chemicals for any reason. Never use a chemical bottle that is not labeled or that

has a torn label. If you transfer a chemical from its primary container to a

different one, please ensure that it has been labeled properly. Also use appropriate personal protective equipment.

Treat empty containers as if they’re full, and don’t refill them with anything other than the original chemical.

In the case of a spill, contact your Supervisor immediately.

Safety/ Warning Signs

Safety/ Warning Signs (Cont.)

Fire Safety:Fire prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Most

fires are started by careless mistakes such as placing flammable objects too close to a flame, overloading an outlet, or using faulty equipment. Besides knowing the possible ignition sources in your work area it is also important to follow these guidelines:

Know the evacuation plan for your area in the case of a fire.

Keep all areas along the evacuation path and around the exit door(s) free from obstructions. Exits should never be locked unless equipped with an approved panic bar.

Know where fire extinguishers are kept and how to use them when necessary.

Understand that fire extinguishers are for putting out small fires and are not to be used for any other purpose.

Fire Safety (Cont.) Never throw water on a grease fire. When a fire extinguisher is used, let your supervisor

know immediately. Never mix chemicals unless you have received proper

training. Always observe the safety labels on the product you

are about to use. Never use an item for anything else other than its intended purpose.

Do not smoke or place an open flame in an area where flammable materials are stored or while dispensing flammable or combustible liquids.

Be sure to turn off the engines of any equipment that is being fueled and keep the fill spout in contact with the gas tank to prevent static electric sparks.

Fire Safety (Cont.)In case of a fire, your safety, the safety of your co-

workers, and the safety of our Guests comes first. Concerns for property are always secondary.

Remain calm. If the fire is small and can be managed, locate the nearest

fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If the fire becomes out of control or you feel your safety is in

danger, follow the evacuation plan and evacuate the area. Move Guests away from the area. Contact any Supervisor, Manager, or Maintenance personnel

immediately. Give the location and extent of the fire.

Fire Safety (Cont.)

HOW TO USE A FIRE ENTINGUISHER: 1. Pull the ring from the extinguisher 2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire 3. Squeeze the trigger 4. Sweep the nozzle from side to side

You must report the use of all fire extinguishers to your Supervisor immediately; regardless of how little the extinguisher was used.

Personal Protective EquipmentClementon Park and Splash World will provide suitable equipment to help protect Team Members from hazards in the workplace. Areas and task that require personal protective equipment (PPE) must have these items readily available and Team Members MUST use them. These items include: 

Oven Mitts/ Protective Gloves - Provides proper hand protection to Team Members who are exposed to hot surfaces, sharp objects, hazardous chemicals and/ or food items.

 

Respirator/ Dust Mask – Protects Team Members who are exposed to harmful levels of airborne dust, fumes, sprays vapors and / or gases. Only Team Members who are trained to don/doff a respirator are permitted to work in areas where one is required.

 

Safety Glasses – Provides appropriate eye protection for Team Members who are cutting, grinding, hammering, or engaged in some other activity that presents a risk of eye injury. Reading glasses do not equal safety glasses.

Ear Plugs – Provides protection against damage to the ear drum due to over exposure of loud noise (measured in decibels).

Safety Vest – Provides higher visibility in high traffic or dimly lighted areas. Any Team Member who is working in a Clementon Park and Splash World parking lot, directing traffic, or escorting a forklift MUST wear a safety vest.

Preventing Slips, Trips, and Falls:

Each year over 2 million people visit an Emergency Room as a result of a slip or fall. Team Members can prevent slips and falls by: Taking their time and not rushing. Not running around or “rough housing” Keeping the work area neat and free of trash, debris, and

obstructions that need to be climbed over. Eliminate tripping hazards in the work area such as loose

wires, fixing holes or gaps in the flooring, and by making sure that mats lie flat.

Placing a “Caution: Wet Floor” to notify others of the hazard and by proceeding with caution or avoiding all together areas that are marked by a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign.

Wearing slip resistant sneakers or boots (depending on department)

Preventing Heat Exhaustion:

Early symptoms of heat exhaustion can include fatigue, headache and dizziness when you stand up. Profuse sweating, a rapid pulse rate, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting may also be present. The victim of heat exhaustion may become disoriented or actually faint, which poses a risk of physical injury from falling. Ways to prevent heat exhaustion include:

Perform the heaviest work during the coolest parts of the day. Slowly build up tolerance to the heat and the work activity. Drink plenty of water (one small cup every 15-20 minutes). Avoid caffeine. Wear light, loose fitting, breathable clothing. Attempt to stay in shaded areas. Avoid eating large meals before working in hot environments but do not

avoid meals altogether. Notify your supervisor when you or you notice a Team Member showing

the symptoms of heat exhaustion.

Proper Lifting:Proper Lifting Procedures: You can't always avoid lifting, but there are ways to reduce the amount of pressure placed on the back when you do so.

Follow these steps when lifting:

Take a balanced stance with your feet about a shoulder-width apart. One foot can be behind the object and the other next to it.

Squat down to lift the object, but keep your heels off the floor. Get as close to the object as possible.

Use your palms (not just your fingers) to get a secure grip on the load. Make sure you'll be able to maintain a hold on the object without switching your grip later.

Lift gradually (without jerking) using your leg, abdominal and buttock muscles and keeping the load as close to you as possible. Keep your chin tucked in so as to keep a relatively straight back and neck line.

Once you're standing, change directions by pointing your feet in the direction you want to go and turning your whole body. Avoid twisting at your waist while carrying a load.

When you put a load down, use these same guidelines, just in reverse.

Reporting: When an injury occurs, we must be prepared to react promptly and effectively. The faster that an injury is addressed, the greater the chance for a full recovery. It is essential that all Team Members report all incidents immediately. There have been many cases where a minor injury has not been treated promptly and has turned into a much more serious case. When an injury occurs: Our first priority is always to remove the risk of further injury and to treat the injured

worker. You should always know what first aid help is available on your site. If available, properly trained first aid personnel on site should be contacted immediately. For serious injuries, professional medical assistance should be summoned immediately.

  Once arrangements for treatment have been made, the supervisor should notify the

Human Resources Department who will then file a worker’s compensation notice.

Any work-related accident, injury, or illness MUST be reported to the Human Resources Department.
