  Back to Expert System - Checklist of Hazards View Instructions
 
1-Exposure to equipment hazards Checklist
a. Is access to this area limited to staff trained in helicopter equipment hazards? [1910.183(o) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
b. Is loose clothing properly secured? [1910.183(e)(2) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
c. Is personal protective equipment (PPE) provided and used by employees receiving the load? (e.g., eye protection, hard hats). [1910.183(e)(1) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
d. Do employees approach or leave a running helicopter in full view of the pilot and keep in a crouched position? [1910.183(p) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
e. Do employees refrain from administering CPR to patients by kneeling on transport carts while the carts are under the helicopter blades? This may elevate the height of the staff member to the extent that the staff member could be hit by the helicopter blades. [1910.183(p) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
f. Is heliport loading and unloading areas kept free of garbage, litter and other debris? [1910.183(g) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]



2-Exposure to High Noise Levels Checklist
a. Is proper ear protection given to all employees working in or around high noise exposure areas? [1910.95(b)(1) - Occupational Noise Exposure]
b. Are feasible administrative and engineering controls being implemented whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85 dBA, (decibels measured on the A scale). If such controls fail to reduce sound levels within acceptable limits is personal protective equipment provided and used to reduce sound levels within the levels of Table G-16? [1910.95(b)(1) - Occupational Noise Exposure]
c. Do employers ensure that hearing protectors are worn by employees? [1910.95(i)(2) - Occupational Noise Exposure]
d. Is a hearing conservation program administered and continued whenever employee noise exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average sound level (TWA) of 85 decibels? Including requirements for monitoring, audiometric testing, audiogram evaluation, hearing protection, training and education, and recordkeeping. [1910.95(c) - Occupational Noise Exposure]



3-Fueling Hazards Checklist
a. Are grounding cables attached to the helicopter while fueling or if using a suspended load, to prevent sparks, or static charge? [1910.183(j) - Materials, Handling, and Storage, Helicopters]
