2. Proper rigging requires using the right equipment for the job, inspecting all gear for defects, and understanding how factors like load weight, center of gravity, sling angles, and conditions can impact safety.
3. Riggers must be trained to identify rated capacities, use inspection results to remove unsafe equipment from use, and apply angle de-rating factors appropriately based on the specific lift configuration. Following proper procedures is key to conducting rigging operations safely.
Slips, trips, and falls are a major cause of workplace injuries. Proper prevention techniques include good housekeeping to clean spills and remove obstacles, using the right footwear for the environment, and being aware of behaviors like rushing or distractions that can lead to falls. Fall protection devices should be used for work at heights from ladders, platforms, or other elevated surfaces. Following safety practices and policies can significantly reduce injuries from slips, trips, and falls.

The U.S. Supreme Court
ruled that same-sex
sexual harassment is a
form of sex discrimination
under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964.
14. Behaviors that are NOT Sexual
Harassment
Welcomed and NOT sexual in nature
1. Voluntary lunch or dinner dates – asking a
coworker to have lunch or dinner
2. Appropriate compliments – telling a person
that his or her outfit is nice
3. Acts of courtesy – opening the door for
someone
15. Unwelcomeness
In order to be “unwelcome” the conduct must
be both:
1. Actually offensive to the victim and
2. Not solicited or invited by the victim
If the conduct is welcomed, then: The conduct
cannot be considered when deciding if there
was an abusive environment.
16. Evidence that the victim found the
conduct unwelcome includes:
1. The victim told the
harasser to stop.
2. The victim moved away when
the behavior occurred or looked
away from the harasser when
the joke was told.
3. The victim met the joke with a
prolonged stony silence.
Unwelcomeness
17. Evidence that the victim found the
conduct welcome includes:
The victim engaged in similar
banter with the harasser just prior
to the harassing statements.
The victim initiated physical contact
with the alleged harasser
The victim laughed after the supposedly
harassing joke and remarked it was a “good
one”.
Unwelcomeness
18. The following do not mean that the
conduct was welcomed:
•The victim did not complain to
others about it at work
•The victim engaged in bawdy
conduct outside the workplace on
their own time
•The victim was heard to use curse
words from time to time
Unwelcomeness
19. The requirement of an abusive job
environment is broken into three parts:
1. Subjectively abusive
2. Objectively abusive
3. Part of the job environment
Abusiveness
20. Abusiveness
A job environment is subjectively abusive if
the Complainant actually believes it is abusive.
Evidence that the Complainant has a subjective belief of
abusiveness includes:
•Complainant states that they felt the environment was
abusive. This could be corroborated by Complainant
seeking professional counseling.
•Complainant complained to other people about the
environment (whether or not “officially”).
•Witness report that Complainant was very upset
following incidents of harassment.
21. Abusiveness
A job environment is objectively abusive if a
reasonable person would find the environment
abusive.
Factors in deciding whether the environment
is objectively abusive include:
•Frequency
•Severity
•Physically threatening or humiliating
•Unreasonably interferes with job
performance
•Effect on psychological well-being
22. Frequency & Severity of the harassment are
the most important factors. They add together to
make how bad the environment is. If it is bad
enough it is “abusive”.
As the severity goes up -
- the frequency needed
goes down.
Abusiveness

particular behavior consider the following:
–Would I behave this same way if my
mother or child were standing next to me?

30. What can You do?
Practical Advice for Employees
• Be courteous
– Pleasantries are always allowed
– Remember, jokes that end with “If they weren’t watermelons,
what were they?” aren’t funny to everyone.
– Reference the Golden Rule
• Think!
– Don’t tweak “brittle” people for sport
– Try to avoid loaded words; you’re intelligent enough to express
displeasure without the “F” word
– Ask yourself (or others): Am I offending anyone?
• Be Professional
– Keep your personal life personal, and your work life professional
– Treat other employees, above and below you, with respect
31. Employees who deal directly with customers, the
public or with personnel from other organizations,
must always ensure that their own behavior is
acceptable. They are also strongly encouraged to
report incidents of unwelcome behavior by others.
You do not have to tolerate unwelcome behavior by
the public, but like everyone else, you must act
responsibly when dealing with unwelcome conduct.
