Quarter - 1
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:
We can say that knowing the different hazard involved in a particular workplace
allows an organization to plan responses to a variety of possible emergencies and
also a big help to reduce accidents, improve the health of the employees, and
makes for a safer, secure work environment.
III. ACTIVITIES
A. Lesson Information:
Occupational Safety and Health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the
safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work. The goal of all occupational safety and
health programs is to foster a safe work environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect
co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and
other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve
interactions among many subject areas, including medicine, occupational well-being, public
health, safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics and others.
These Implementing Rules and Regulations are issued pursuant to the authority of
the Employees Compensation Commission (ECC) under Section 8 of Executive Order No.
307 establishing the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC).
2. Implement effectively occupational health and safety programs that will promote the
health, efficiency, and general well-being of the Filipino workers through the improvement of
the quality of his working life that will significantly enhance the productivity of industries and
business
3. Maintain an expert intelligence and training center for industrial disease and occupational
safety.
Coverage of Services
The Services of the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) covers the
preventive (primary, secondary, tertiary prevention) aspects of occupational safety and health
in every workplace, public or private.
The Center serves as the authority on Occupational Safety and Health in the areas of
research, training, and information dissemination and technical services.
The Center undertakes studies and research in all aspect of occupational safety and
health. It focuses and studies:
2. To continuously review and support the updating of the list of occupational illnesses
as prescribed in PD 626, Employees’ Compensation and State Insurance Fund.
1. SPOT THE HAZARD- A hazard is anything that could hurt you or it is the level of
threat to life, health, property, and environment but hazard does not exist when it is not
happening.
OHS needs to be a top priority for the organization to implement workplace health and
safety measures for their employees. It is also mandatory by law to make sure that the
employees are aware of all the safety measures.
If the workplace is not capable of keeping the employees fit and healthy then there will be
issues and leave of absences hence, costing a lot to the company. The other costs that the
company will bear is a loss of skilled labour, reduced productivity, loss of business reputation,
etc.
To curb these additional costs, every company should take occupational health and
safety on high priority and ensure the good health of the employee.
A risk is possibility of something bad happening. Risks involves uncertainly about the
effects/implications of an activity with respect to something that humans value (such as health,
well-being, wealth, properly or the environment), often focusing on negative, undesirable
consequences.
• Dormant - The situation has the potential to be hazardous, but no people, property, or
environment is currently affected by this. For instance, a hillside may be unstable, with the
potential for a landslide, but there is nothing below or on the hillside that could be affected.
• Active - A harmful incident involving the hazard has occurred. Often this is referred to not as
an "active hazard" but as an accident, emergency, incident, or disaster.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Control Measures:
a. You should always check any equipment before use.
b. Ask qualified electrician to check all pieces of electrical
equipment in the workplace annually or as often as possible.
c. Damaged or broken electrical equipment should not be used, the
tag must warn people not to use the equipment.
d. When adjusting or cleaning equipment, SWITCH OFF the power
and pull out the plug and NOT by the cord.
e. Do not touch equipment with wet hands or don't use a wet cloth
to clean sockets.
f. Make sure flexible cords are fully unwound and kept clear of work
traffic.
g. Do not run too many pieces of equipment from one socket.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
PHYSICAL HAZARD
(SLIPS, TRIPS, FALLS)
Falls- when you lose your balance & drop to the floor.
The results of slips, trips and falls include broken bones, abrasions, contusions, strains,
sprains, back or spinal injuries and other serious injuries. During a slip, trip or fall accident,
injury may be caused by over stretching joints, bones and ligaments.
Control Measures:
a. Clean up spills straight away.
b. Use mats on slippery floors.
c. Wear appropriate work shoes.
d. Improve cleaning methods to prevent build-up of grease/detergent.
e. Provide ample storage space, to avoid materials being placed in aisles/walkways.
f. Set absorbent flooring materials into entrance areas.
Control Measures:
a. Keep all escape routes and fire exits clear, and make regular checks to ensure they are
safe to use.
b. Firefighting equipment must be available, located in specified area. You can include fire
extinguishers, blankets, sand buckets and water hoses.
c. Store products, particularly aerosols, away from naked flames or sources of heat, at or
below room temperature and in a dry atmosphere.
d. Switch off and unplug all electrical appliances before leaving the workplace .
e. Make sure that all workers in the area are aware of the action that must takes in the
event of a fire.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARD
Control Measures:
The following are the methods on how to control infectious
diseases:
1. Cleaning is the removal of soil and a reduction in the number of micro-organisms from
equipment surfaces by washing in detergent and warm water.
Methods of Cleaning:
a. Rinse the equipment in warm water (15-30°C) to remove any blood or body fluids.
b. Wash the equipment in a sink filled with warm water and a mild alkaline detergent to
remove all visible soiling.
c. Rinse the equipment thoroughly in running water.
d. Dry with a cotton cloth. Drying prevents residues from damaging equipment during
sterilization.
e. Store under cover in a clean, dry and dust free environment.
spores.
Method of sterilization:
1. Physical agents such as radiation and heat.
2. Chemical agents, such as antiseptics, disinfectants and vapor fumigants.
ERGONOMIC HAZARD
Control Measures:
a. Practicing shifts.
b. Raised platform to help operators reach badly located
controls.
c. Provide height adjustable chairs to individual. Operator can
work at their preferred work height.
d. Proper orientation of machine to prevent squatting posture.
e. Take some rest if you feel tired to prevent pain and
numbness.
1. Mechanical Hazards
The severity of the injury depends on mostly how the accident happens like slips, falls
and entanglement. It is the responsibility of the company to make sure all risks are minimized.
2. Chemical Hazards
Everywhere around us see chemical and mixture of chemicals. Some chemicals are
acidic while some are extremely volatile. The workplace health risks involved any chemical is
hard to determine without first knowing what exactly the chemical is and what environment it
is in.
3. Biological Hazards
Viruses, diseases and other forms of sickness and biological hazards are the hardest
to manage when it comes to the workplace. The most common areas of transmitting disease
are in public areas and at work so workplace health is seriously threatened by biological
hazards. One more reason why biological hazards are hard to manage is their ability to travel
from place to place.
➢ An up-to-date list of all emergency equipment at the facility, including the location and
physical description of each item, along with a brief outline of its capabilities. Examples of
emergency equipment include, but are not limited to, fire extinguishing systems,
communications and alarm systems, personnel protective equipment, spill containment or
clean-up equipment, and decontamination equipment; and
Evacuation
Evacuation is the immediate and rapid movement of people away from the threat or
actual occurrence of a hazard. Examples range from the small-scale evacuation of a building
due to a bomb threat or fire to the large-scale evacuation of a district because of a flood,
bombardment or approaching weather system. In situations involving hazardous materials or
possible contamination, evacuees may be decontaminated prior to being transported out of
the contaminated area.
Isolation
Isolation refers to various measures taken to prevent contagious diseases from being
spread from a patient to other patients, health care workers, and visitors, or from others to a
particular patient. Various forms of isolation exist, some of which contact procedures are
modified, and others in which the patient is kept away from all others.
Forms of Isolation
a. Strict isolation is used for diseases spread through the air and in some cases by
contact.
b. Contact isolation is used to prevent the spread of diseases that can be spread
through contact with open wounds.
c. Respiratory isolation is used for diseases that are spread through particles that are
exhaled.
d. Blood and body fluids precaution is used when there is concern about communicable
diseases found in a patient's body fluid.
e. Reverse isolation is a method to prevent a patient in a compromised health situation
from being contaminated by other people or objects.
Decontamination
Decontamination is the reduction or removal of chemical agents. It may be accomplished by
removal of these agents by physical means or by chemical neutralization or detoxification.
