mploy ent  in  the  const ction  in‐ dust  declined by 2000 jobs in April,  but the addition of 63,000 jobs over the last  12 months lowered the indust  unemploy‐ ment rate to 14.5 percent  om 17.2 percent  a  month  earlier,  the  Labor  Depar ent  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics  (BLS)  repor ed  May 4.  he  overall  nonfar   pay oll  employ‐ ment g ew by 115,000 on a seasonally  adjusted basis in April, a smaller gain than  many analyst had forecast, while the unem‐ ploy ent rate ticked down only 0.1 percent  to 8.1 percent.  nalysts  generally  had  been  ex ect‐ ing  larger  employ ent  gains,  and  many  a ibuted  the  slight  decline  in  the  nation’s jobless rate to discouraged workers  leaving the labor force rather than ex and‐ ing employ ent.  he smaller‐than‐ex ected increase in  pay olls  last  month  follows  a  larger 

jump of 154,000 jobs in  March, which was  revised  upward  om  120,000  initially  re‐ por ed.    But  those  gains  were  sig ificantly  weaker than the increase of 259,000 seen in  Febr ar , which also was more than initial‐ ly repor ed.  nalysts  generally  characterized  the  jobs repor  as a sig  of soſtening in  the  labor  market.    Nigel  Gault,  chief  U.S.  economist at HIS Global Insight, said while  “some of the sting” of the latest fig res was  lessened by the upward revisions, “the t o‐ month slowdown is still ver  clear.”  early  Const ction  Gains  Out eigh  Monthly  Losses.    Nearly  all  of  the  repor ed job losses in the const ction sec‐ tor in April stem  om 8,400 jobs lost in the  nonresidential specialt  t ades.  ssociated  Builders  and  Cont actors  Chief  Economist  Anirban  Basu,  in  an  analysis  of  the  new  employ ent  data,  said  the  decline  in  the  nonresidential  spe‐

cialt   sector  is  “an  indication  that  more  const ction star s.”  uilding  const ction  repor ed  3,600  job  losses,  with  2,500  of  those  losses  coming  om the residential building sector  and 1,100 job losses repor ed in the nonresi‐ dential building sector.  However, the sector  as  a  whole  has  added  nearly  7,000  since  April 2011.  eavy  and  civil  engineering  con‐ st ction  companies  added  3,300  jobs  in  April,  and  18,400  over  the  year.   Residential  specialt   t ade  cont actors  re‐ por ed the highest employ ent increase in  April,  adding  6,300  jobs,  BLS  repor ed.   Ken Simonson, chief economist for the As‐ sociated General Cont actors said g owth in  this sector is the result of “a large increase  in multifamily const ction”.  Source: Const ction Labor Repor  

mployees  reflect  the  cult re  of  their  workplace.    If  you  ex ect  high  perfor‐ mance  om  your  employees,  you  have  to  create a cult re that inspires them to work to  the best of their abilities.  Star  with these key  principles.  Communication.    Do  employees  know  how  their  perfor ance  cont ibutes  to  the  organi‐ zation’s  success?    If  they  don’t  understand  how  their  day‐to‐day  activities  affect  profits  or  customer  satisfaction,  they  won’t  know  what to focus on or why.  Effective, t o‐way, 

face‐to‐face communication is vital.  Resources.    Tools  and  equipment  are  im‐ por ant resources, of course, but don’t neglect  other,  less  obvious  needs.    The  workplace  itself is a resource, for example:  Do workers  have enough space and light to perfor  their  jobs?    Do  they  have  adequate  contact  with  each  other  to  share  ideas  and  make  g oup  decisions?    The  cult re  and  at osphere  are  also key:  Do workers t st each other—and  you?  Do people work as a team or jealously  g ard their t rf?  And don’t forget the most 

vital  resource  of  all—time.    Do  employees  have the time they need to do their jobs?  Motivation.    Employees  must  want  to  do  a  good  job.    Money  is  an  impor ant  factor,  as  long as its connection to perfor ance is clear.   Praise  and  recog ition  are  powerf l  motiva‐ tors as well; so are oppor nities for develop‐ ment  and  advancement.    Ever   individual  responds to different motivational stimuli, so  be sensitive to each person’s unique needs.

038: Unsafe Acts: Installing Motors Discussion leader duties for this session: Think about what’s involved in transporting, setting, aligning, and connecting a motor.

What this Safety Talk covers: Most injuries occur not due to unsafe conditions, but due to unsafe acts. This Safety Talk addresses unsafe acts in transporting, setting, aligning, and connecting motors.

Discussion notes:

Background From the time a motor comes off the loading dock to the time it’s ready to run, it presents many hazards. You can dislocate a shoulder or wrench your back moving the motor, slip on oil or grease from its fittings or bearings, slip on process fluids in the installation area, set it down on your fingers, be electrocuted at its terminals, or be injured by improper rotation procedures. That’s only a partial list.

Some unsafe acts in motor installation ■ Not inspecting and cleaning the motor before transporting it to the installation point. Clean grease off the shaft, and wipe the zircs (grease fittings) clean. Inspect the lifting eye(s) for damage. ■ Not conducting basic receiving tests on the motor before installing it. Installing a large motor always involves some physical risk. If you discover the shaft is bent only after you have installed the motor, you must reincur the risks to remove it and install the replacement. Turn the shaft by hand before setting the motor in place. Though the most likely damage during shipping is a bent shaft, also test the windings with an insulation resistance tester before installing the motor. ■ Trying to muscle a motor into place. Use a prybar, so you protect your shoulders, back, and fingers. ■ Lifting a motor with muscle, rather than with proper equipment. Yes, two brawny electricians can lift a 300 lb motor. But what if one of you slips? Or the load suddenly shifts? What if getting that motor in place requires bending over and using your back to support the load? ■ Reaching under a suspended motor to clean where the feet go. Sure, it takes only a second. But that’s all it takes to lose your fingers, too. ■ Not verifying the connections. It takes little time to recheck the connections. ■ Tagging, but not locking out, the disconnect to make it easier to do rotation testing and remake the connections if needed. Don’t violate lockout/tagout to save a trip or two to the disconnect. It’s in line of sight, so the little time you save doesn’t justify the risk. ■ Operating a disconnect with your right hand. Stand to the right of it and operate it with your left hand, so you are not in the path of an arc blast. ■ Bumping a motor without permission from operations. The process implications of that bump could injure another person or initiate an undesired chain of events.

Review and discussion 1. What are some of the hazards and potential injuries associated with installing motors? 2. What should you do before transporting a motor, to prevent slipping hazards?

3. What two simple tests can prevent rework and needlessly repeated exposure to risk? 4. Before you begin lifting a motor into place, you should ensure the spot where it’s going is clear of debris and ready to receive the motor. What unsafe act should you not do in this regard? 5. If it will take you ten minutes to obtain a prybar so you can move a big motor into position, should you save time by kicking the motor housing instead? Why or why not? 6. What are some methods you can use to lift a heavy motor, other than muscle power? [Note to presenter: Methods include lift trucks, “cherry pickers” (portable booms), overhead hoists, and A-frames. A motor supported by fingers is wellpositioned to crush at least some of them.]

7. How can you prevent a short to ground inside the motor weatherhead? [Note to presenter: Check the connections. Make sure the phase leads connect to winding leads rather than the ground lead, the ground lead connects to the right location, and all leads are properly insulated.] 8. You are testing motor rotation, and find you need to swap the wires. Why should you lock out the disconnect before making the change, even though you are right there and can see it? [Note to presenter: This is a common mistake. Another person may also assume that, since you are right there, it’s OK to operate the disconnect. Or that person may ask you and one of you might misunderstand the other. Lock out the disconnect, do the work, then remove the lock.]

9. Where must you stand when operating a motor disconnect? [Note to presenter: Always stand so the disconnect is to your left, and operate it with your left hand. The reason for this is arc blast protection. If the disconnect is mounted in a corner such that there is not space for a person to stand with it to the left of his or her body, initiate a change order to correct this.]

10. Why should you not bump a motor without permission from operations? Is this permission implied in some situations and not in others? [Note to presenter: Obviously, if this is a new installation not turned over to operations then you don’t need their permission. But having permission to work on a motor and having permission to operate it aren’t necessarily the same thing.]
