OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS

1. Lesson 7: practice occupational health and safety procedures Illustration 7

2. LO 1. Identify hazards and risks

3. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS) Occupational health and safety (OHS) relates to health, safety, and welfare issues in the workplace . OHS includes the laws, standards, and programs that are aimed at making the workplace better for workers, along with co-workers, family members, customers, and other stakeholders. Improving a company's occupational health and safety standards ensures good business, a better brand image, and higher employee morale.

4. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (OHS) Occupational health and safety is concerned with addressing many types of workplace hazards, such as : Chemicals Physical hazards Biological agents Psychological fallout Ergonomic issues Accidents

5. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the health and safety of people. COMMON HAZARDS 1. Physical Hazard - environmental factors that can harm a person without necessarily touching them, including heights, noise, radiation and pressure.

6. COMMON HAZARDS 2 . Chemical Hazard – hazardous substances that can cause harm. These hazards can result in both health and physical impacts, such as skin irritation, respiratory system irritation, blindness, corrosion and explosions. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

7. COMMON HAZARDS 3. Ergonomic Hazard – result of physical factors that can result in musculoskeletal injuries. For example, a poor workstation setup, poor posture and manual handling. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

8. COMMON HAZARDS 4 . Biological Hazard – include viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that can cause adverse health impacts. For example, mold, blood and other bodily fluids, harmful plants, sewage, dust and vermin. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

9. COMMON HAZARDS 5. Psychosocial Hazard – include those that can have an adverse effect on a person’s mental health or wellbeing. For example, sexual harassment, victimization, stress and workplace violence. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

10. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

11. WHAT IS RISK? Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss, or harmful effects on the environment. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

12. Hazard identification Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm. WHAT IS A RISK ASSESSMENT? 2. Risk analysis and evaluation Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard. 3. Risk control Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

13. STRATEGIES IN IDENTIFYING HAZARDS AND RISKS OBSERVATION – observe your workplace RECORDS – look into the past records of work-related injuries and find the causes INTERVIEW – interview people on the workplace IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

14. Factors that contribute to the level or risk a hazards present include: 1. PEOPLE - The actions people take, or do not take, can create hazards in the workplace. Knowledge and training in appropriate procedures are critical to avoid unsafe work practices. Administration, leadership , and supervision help ensure workers follow procedures and safe practices. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL 2. EQUIPMENT - The tools and machines people use and work near can be hazardous. Look for unsafe or unhealthy conditions such as: • inadequate guarding or barriers • defective tools and equipment, incorrect tools and equipment for the job • inadequate warning systems • inadequate electrical wiring and appliances

15. Factors that contribute to the level or risk a hazards present include: 3 . MATERIALS - The improper handling and wrong type of raw materials, products, and hazardous chemicals can result in explosion, fires, and exposure to toxic chemicals and physical agents. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL 4. ENVIRONMENT - Some hazards are created by the work environment: extreme weather conditions and temperatures conditions of surfaces where people walk over-crowding and inadequate ventilation inadequate lighting and loud noise inadequate storage areas poor housekeeping

16. Factors that contribute to the level or risk a hazards present include: 5. PROCESS - The production process involves the flow of work and includes design, organization, people, pace, and type of work. The process may create byproducts such as heat, noise, dust, vapors, fumes, and scrap materials. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS, RISKS, AND CONTROL

17. OHS PROTOCOL CONTINGENCY MEASURES AND PROCEDURES A contingency plan is a written emergency plan. It is sometimes referred to as "Plan B," because it can be also used as an alternative for action if expected results is failed. It includes the following: Emergency procedures in response to disasters. Arrangement between local police, hospital & other concerned agencies. List of those who can help respond to the emergency. Updated list of facilities and equipment in the building. Evacuation plan. (Evacuation is the immediate movement of people away from the hazard scene.)

18. OHS PROTOCOL Sample template of contingency plan Scenario Probability Preparation Response Tools/Material shortage Medium-High Maintaining the stock of materials; Weekly conducting of inventory Immediately call the suppliers

19. OHS INDICATORS OHS SIGNS OR SYMBOLS IN THE WORKPLACE Sign Colors: Red – reflects immediate hazardous situations that will cause death or other serious injuries and indicated by danger signs. Orange – represents a potentially unsafe situation that could cause serious injury and indicated by warning signs. Yellow – used to alert against unsafe practices, which if not avoided, may results in minor or moderate injuries and indicated by caution signs. Blue – used to convey safety information . Green – indicates the emergency egress location, first aids and other safety equipment.
