  • This bottle holds a lot of history, culture, and lore. You are part of an

  • industry with a rich heritage. That's been around for thousand of years. Growing

  • grapes, tending vines, harvesting, crushing, making the wine, aging the wine - all culminates

  • to this point with you at the bottling line.

  • You play an important role in one of California's prize industries. That is why

  • working safely and avoiding injury is so important. This video will explain how you

  • can help reduce the risk of an injury while working

  • on the bottling line.

  • Uh oh! Could this be a problem? Do you think someone arriving to work late

  • or in a rush, might be a little stressed?

  • Someone stressed is more likely to be distracted and therefore unsafe on the job. Other contributing

  • factors to accidents are coming to work tired, hungry, hungover, or

  • upset. So come to work on time, well rested, well feed, and able to

  • be an active participant in your work environment.

  • Don't you hate missing out on a good joke? Or can you imagine not

  • being able to hear your friends or family, and join in a good

  • conversation? Good hearing is part of living well. Music, chatting

  • with friends, communicating is a basic need. So protect your

  • hearing! It's really worth itt and using hearing protection is

  • required by law in California!

  • One thing to remember though, is when wearing hearing protection, be

  • even more visually alert to your surroundings. You may not hear

  • other people or vehicles approaching, so keep your eyes open

  • when wearing hearing protection. And use hand signals if you need to

  • help communicate.

  • Do you see a problem here? These guys do! Do you think are friend here is wearing the

  • right kind of shoes for the job? Let's see what

  • his boss has to say!

  • "What are you doing? Those are not the right shoes!"

  • This is a joke to exaggerate a point. These shoes are obviously

  • not right.

  • But what about this pair? Or, this pair? Can you see how any kind of sandals, high

  • heels or open toes shoes put your feet at risk?

  • Safe, appropriate footwear for the wine bottling area are rubber

  • soled, non skid, close toe shoes.

  • If you are lifting, you may also want to consider steel toe shoes or

  • boots in case you drop anything on your foot.

  • You may also want to consider steel toe shoes or

  • boots in case you drop anything on your foot.

  • Rubber soles will help cushion your feet, which in turn help reduce

  • fatigue and back ache. Get comfortable from the ground up by

  • wearing the right shoes for the job.

  • Rubber soled or non skid shoes also help maintain contact with the floor. It's not

  • uncommon for the floor to become wet. So shoes that

  • offer some skid protection and traction are also a good

  • idea.

  • Cool shades! But for work? Some people think that if they are

  • wearing their regular prescription glasses, or even sun glasses, they

  • don't have to wear safety glasses. Wrong!

  • Everybody has to wear safety glasses, even if you wear

  • prescription lenses. Safety glasses are specially made to

  • deflect particles and debris, and help keep any splashes of liquid

  • out of your eyes too. They tend to wrap around, offering some side

  • protection as well. There are some prescription glasses that can be

  • rated to wear as safety glasses, but you would need to check to see

  • if they have ANSI rating on the lenses. If not then safety glasses

  • can be worn right over your regular glasses. If you are unsure, speak

  • with your employer or your eye doctor before wearing your

  • prescription glasses as safety glasses.

  • There is so much beauty in the world to see - don't miss out on

  • any of it. Protect your eyes!

  • Here is are goofy friend again! With more inappropriate clothing!

  • dangling jewelry and loose clothing can get caught in machinery. It's dangerous

  • to wear such things on the bottling line. So

  • roll up any loose sleeves, or better yet, don't

  • wear loose clothing to begin with. And, tuck in

  • a necklace or better yet, don't wear any dangling jewelry to work. Keep long hair tied back..if

  • you wear a hooded sweatshirt, make sure the string ties are

  • tied and tucked in. Pinch points may sound like a

  • hazard from a younger sibling, but along the bottling conveyor, pinch

  • points are parts of the machinery in which your fingers, other body

  • parts, loose clothing, dangling jewelry or hair could get caught.

  • Be aware when working near pinch points, and use all available

  • machine guarding. The interlock system at many

  • bottling lines is designed to shut down when the access doors open.

  • If you open the doors and it doesn't shut down, do not proceed

  • with any repairs, but instead let your supervisor know.

  • You may really love doing a particular task, and feel you could

  • do it all day long. But a lot of people begin to lose focus after a

  • while doing the same task over and over. Your mind may drift. It's

  • when you lose your focus that accidents are more likely to

  • happen. And doing the same motion over and

  • over, in addition to possibly getting boring, can also lead to

  • repetitive stress injuries. Even a small motion, if done hundreds or

  • thousands of times a day, can put stress on your body. There are a

  • couple of ways to avoid both the problem of mental and physical

  • burnout. An ideal solution is to rotate jobs

  • every so often throughout the day. That way you aren't doing any one

  • thing too long. While you are at a particular work station for an

  • extended period, you can do a few things to reduce stress to your

  • mind and body. An ideal solution, is to rotate jobs every

  • so often throughout the day. That way you aren't doing any one thing to long.

  • While you are at a particular work station for an extend period, you can do a few things

  • to reduce stress to your mind and body. Maintain good posture. Keep your weight

  • evenly distributed. Avoid letting your head drop forward

  • which can put stress on your neck and shoulders. Keep

  • your body in alignment. When standing in place for long

  • periods of time, using a foot stool can help alleviate fatigue in

  • your lower back, legs and feet. Ideally your work space should be

  • at waist height, so you're not reaching up or down. Use a platform,

  • or other device if that helps you get to the right height.

  • Stretching throughout the day will also help reduce fatigue.

  • You can often stretch while you work. Depending on your work

  • station, foot rotations, head tilts, shoulder rolls, can all

  • without missing a beat. When you do get a break, take the

  • opportunity for bigger stretches. You might just be amazed at how

  • much better your body feels after a good stretch!

  • Which item do you think is more dangerous to lift?

  • A bottle or a whole box of bottles? The answer is that almost any item, no matter

  • how big or how small could cause injury depending

  • on how you lift it. It's all in technique!

  • From a safety standpoint, the safest lifts occur at waist height.

  • That's because at waist height, you're not having to bend over

  • putting strain on your back. If the item you're lifting is lower than

  • waist height, don't bend over at the waist, but rather bend your

  • knees, keeping your body as upright as possible throughout the entire

  • lift. Turn using your feet while carrying a load. Do not twist at

  • the waist. Keep the load close to your body_

  • Avoid holding the item away from your body. When you reach your

  • destination, do not extend the load away from your body to set it down.

  • Instead, use your body to get right up to your destination, set the

  • item down and push it into place. If you choose to wear a back brace,

  • remember it's only a tool for lifting and should not be worn when performing other

  • tasks throughout the day. The Lock out/tag out

  • procedure, also known as lock out/block out, involves locking out

  • the power source to a piece of machinery when doing regular

  • maintenance, or during repairs. That way no one can inadvertently

  • turn on a piece of equipment while someone else is working on it.

  • In many businesses, employees with the training and authority to work

  • on machinery have their own locks tagged with either their name,

  • picture, or number code on it. So that way when you see the equipment

  • locked out, you can tell who did it, and check with them about the

  • status of a piece of machinery. Use lock out tag out even if you're

  • only doing a quick repair. The few seconds you take to lock out the

  • machine, could save you or a coworker from a serious injury. And,

  • this might be a good point to mention that everybody, whether you do repairs

  • or not, should know where the emergency shut off switches are located.

  • No one wants to be seen as a complainer, or a big baby, but in the

  • case of an injury on the job, stop and tell your supervisor! Don't be

  • the tough guy, and keep working if you are hurt. You could make an

  • injury worse. All injuries, big or small, must be reported to your

  • supervisor immediately. And if you were hurt before coming to work,

  • let your supervisor know about that too.

  • Depending on the severity of your work place injury, you may be

  • entitled to worker compensation insurance benefits to help with

  • medical and rehabilitation costs. But worker compensation benefits

  • are only for injuries suffered while doing your job. And just so

  • you know, it's a felony to file a claim for worker compensation

  • benefits for an injury that happened outside of work.

  • We hope you are never injured on the job.

  • But if you are, it's good to know help is available for your care

  • and recovery in order to get you back on the job.

  • We hope you enjoy a healthy, happy career in the wine industry. If

  • you ever have any questions or concerns about how to do your job

  • safely, please ask your supervisor. Your work is the pride of

  • California. Be safe, and cheers to you!
