Controll occupational hazard found in the workplace.pptx

Occupational Health and safety

1. PRACTICE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURE (OS) Control hazards and risks

2. After going through this lesson, you are expected to: 1. Identify the purpose of controlling hazards and risks; 2. Distinguish the ways of controlling hazards and risks; 3. Value the importance of controlling hazards and risks.

3. Review What are the different types of PPE

4. Say something about the picture.

5. Control Hazards and Risks All workplace hazards (chemical, physical,Psychological , Ergonomic and Biological ) can be controlled by a variety of methods. The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most effective way to reduce exposures.

6. Controlling workplace hazards 1. Identify the Hazard Identify the source of the problem 2. Assess the Risk Risk assessment is the process where you: Identify hazards, Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard. Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard

7. Controlling workplace hazards 3. Eliminate the Hazard or Risk Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process, or preventing it from entering the workplace, is the most effective method of control. Eliminating a hazard means removing it completely.

8. Controlling workplace hazards 4.Substitution The risk may not be removed entirely but could be reduced by replacing the material, substance, or process with something less dangerous. Examples: • Replacing ladders with tower scaffolds. • Substituting a hazardous chemical with a safer alternative. • Changing high-level vibrating equipment with newer equipment with less vibration exposure.

9. Controlling workplace hazards 5. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece of machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a work process to reduce exposure to a hazard. This are usually fixed temporary or permanent controls. This could be collective (protecting all worker e.g. edge protection for work at height) or individual (protecting a single user e.g. anchor points for connecting via lanyard). Give priority to measures which protect collectively over individual measures.

10. Controlling workplace hazards 6. Administrative Controls These are rules and systems to carry out the work. Examples: • Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an example of an administrative control for example, job rotation. • Banning work at height and lifting operations in bad weather.

11. Controlling workplace hazards 7. Personal protective clothes and equipment (PPE) PPE is the last line of defense against a hazard, so while it should not be your first choice when controlling risks, it can give added protection for any remaining level of risk, or should other controls fail. • Use of ear defenders when using noisy equipment. • Harnesses and lanyards where the risk of falls cannot be eliminated completely. • Hard hats where there may be falls of tools or materials overhead.

12. Controlling workplace hazards Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye protection, respirators, and protective clothing.

13. Practice task #1 Imagine yourself living near a river. Supply answers for the following: 1. Identify hazards 2. Evaluate the risk associated with that hazard 3. Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard.

14. Practice task #2 Cite your personal experience where you must control hazards and risk. Describe your entire experience. How did you feel about it? How did it affect your life? What valuable lessons have you learned from your experience?

15. Practice task #3 complete the statements below accordingly I have learned that ______________________________. I have realized that _____________________________. I will apply ___________________________________.

16. Practice task #4 Choose a problem(Hazard) that the world is facing nowadays. 1 . Describe the hazards and risks that the world is facing today. 2. What preventive measures and practices have you done to control the hazards and risks? 3. How can you relate our lesson with our present situation?

17. Remember! it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible. Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control measures. Remember to make sure all the controls work well together, are detailed in your risk assessment, communicated to your team, and are regularly reviewed and maintained to make sure they remain effective.

18. Evaluation Choose the letter of the correct answer and write the answers in your activity notebook. 1. It includes ear and eye protection, respirators, and protective clothing. a. Personal Protective Equipment b. Risk Assessment c. Eliminate the Hazard or Risk d. Administrative Control e. Engineering Control

19. Evaluation 2. It may mean changing a piece of machinery. 3. Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area that includes job rotation. 4. The process where you identify hazards, analyze, or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard, and determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard. 5. It is the most effective method of control.
