Acute IBP Issues (Acute Improper Body Positioning) Acute Improper body positioning is when a worker is operating in a way that could lead to immediate injury due to poor body positioning.
Chronic IBP Issues (Chronic Improper Body Positioning) A type of hazard that does not lead to immediate worker injury, but sustained improper body positioning can lead to chronic work injuries over time. This includes scenarios such as bending over with a rounded back, or work on knees without knee pads.
MEPI Issues When a person resides within the area of the potential movement of a piece of mobile equipment. This includes the immediate operating area and swing radius of the equipment. It is only tagged when an operator is confirmed to be in the cab.
Ladder Use Issues A worker has to be actively using the ladder for this tag to be used. It focuses on identifying situation where a worker is either working outside the rails, has their feet on any of the top three rungs.
Ladder Setup Issues This tag covers whether the correct ladder is being used, folding ladder vs extension ladder, as well as if the ladder is properly placed for use. If the ground is not flat, if it is on debris, or if it is close to an edge, it will be tagged.
Impalement Hazards Impalement hazard is when a piece of material such a thin PVC, rebar, or other is protruding at a height where if a worker were to fall it could impale them. If they are at the appropriate height and uncapped they will be tagged. This includes horizontal protruding rebar.
Guardrail Issues This tag is applied when guardrails are incorrecttly installed, missing components (toe-board, top rail, mid-rail), or a guardrail is missing all together in an area where a guardrail is required
Fall Arrest Issues A Fall Arrest Issue occurs when a worker is working at a height of 6 ft or greater, and is not protected by guardrails or protected by a full fall protection system (harness, connecting device, and anchorage).
