 What is It

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

Occupational Safety and Health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or
employment. 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 affected by the workplace environment.

Occupational Health should aim to:

1. promote and maintain the highest degree of physical, mental and

social well-being of workers in all occupations;
2. place and maintain the worker in an environment suitable to his
physiological and psychological capabilities;
3. protect workers from risk resulting from factors adverse to health;
and
4. prevent workers from resignation due to health caused by poor
working conditions.

The reasons for establishing good occupational safety and health standards are
frequently identified as:

✓ Moral – an employee should not have to risk injury at work, nor

should others associate with the work environment.
✓ Economic – many governments realize that poor occupation and health
per result in cost to the State (e.g. through social security payments to
the incapacitated, costs for medical treatment, and the loss of the
“employability” of the worker). Economic studies human welfare in
terms of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and
services.
✓ Legal – Occupational safety and health requirements may be
reinforced in civil law and/or criminal law.

Safety Standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products,

activities or processes and others.

Procedure in Setting up Drawing Tools, Materials and Equipment and

Standard Procedure
In preparation for a required task in Mechanical Drafting, student should plan,
prepare, and select tools and materials for a particular drawing activity. This is to
ensure the correct setting of standard procedure and accuracy of drawings.

10
The drawing tools, materials and equipment are very expensive items; however
these are important in all drafting tasks. Considering its cost and value in drafting
activity, it is also important to take care and maintain its usability.

With this, the following considerations are strictly emphasized as Standard

Operating Procedure during and after the utilization of the drafting tools, materials
and equipment:

A. Before the start of drafting activity:

1. Select the tools, materials and equipment needed in the assigned task.
2. Properly set up the required tools and materials in a place convenient
for you to move and execute your work.
3. Clean the table and tools, see to it that these are free from dust
and other elements that would cause damage to your work.
4. Wash your hands with clean water.

B. Activity proper:
1. Perform the activity by following the standard operating
procedure per job requirement.
2. Properly manipulate all the tools and equipment that are used in the
activity.
3. In case errors or mistakes along the way (for instance misprinting of
lines, letters, and other forms of mistakes) use appropriate eraser.

C. After the activity:

1. Submit your output to your teacher for checking
2. Check all the tools and materials to ensure that nothing is lost.
3. Return the tools and materials to the tool keeper.
4. Withdraw your borrower’s card from the tool keeper and signed
out that you have returned the borrowed tools and materials.
5. Clean your workstation before leaving.

Other Important Practices that Must be Observed in the Workstation or

Workplace

There are important practices that must be observed in the work setting. The
following are:

1. Observe safety precautions:

a. Never smoke inside the work station.
b. Never use any tools and equipment without having it clean first.
c. Avoid talking with your co-students during working period.
d. Always turn off the lights, air condition, ceiling fan, computer
units, and other equipment before leaving the work station.
e. Maintain cleanliness in the work station.
f. Use tools and equipment properly.

2. Observe punctuality of attendance.

3. Avoid quarrelling with your co-students.

11
 4. Observe and practice the value of respect.
5. Return the borrowed tools and equipment on time.
6. Observe and practice proper disposal of waste.

What is a hazard?

There are many definitions for hazard but the most common definition when talking
about workplace health and safety is “A hazard is any source of potential damage,
harm or adverse health effects on something or someone.”

Standard "Occupational health and safety - Hazard identification and elimination

and risk assessment and control" uses the following terms:

• Harm – physical injury or damage to health.

• Hazard – a potential source of harm to a worker.

Basically, a hazard is the potential for harm or an adverse effect (for example, to
people as health effects, to organizations as property or equipment losses, or to
the environment).

What is Hazards in the Workplace?

• There are many things that affect the health of a person, such as his
environment, his lifestyle, etc. Work is an important determinant of
health. It can influence health in a positive or in a negative way.
• A place that is safe, healthy and work-conducive entails more
productivity. In fact, with a healthy workplace you will be doing more
work with less effort.
• Hazard is a term used to describe something that has the potential to cause
harm.
• Risk on the other hand, is a measure of the possibility of a specific harmful
effect in given circumstances. It is very important to know the difference
between a hazard and a risk.

Types of workplace hazards include:

• Safety hazards - Inadequate and insufficient machine guards, unsafe
workplace conditions, and unsafe work practices.
• Biological hazards - caused by organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and
parasites.
• Chemical hazards – caused by Solid, liquid, vapor or gaseous chemicals, dust,
fume or mist.
• Ergonomic hazards - Anatomical, physiological, and psychological demands on
the worker, such as repetitive and forceful movements, vibration, extreme
temperatures, and awkward postures arising from improper work methods
and improperly designed workstations, tools, and equipment.
• Physical hazards – caused by Noise, vibration, energy, weather, electricity,
radiation and pressure.

12
 • Psychological hazards - Those that are basically causing stress to a worker.
This kind of hazard troubles an individual very much to an extent that his
general well-being is affected.

Controlling OHS hazards and risks

Controlling OHS hazards and risks Workplaces can be dangerous; there are many
hazards that have the potential to kill, injure or cause ill health or disease. Protecting
the health and safety of people in the workplace is a community expectation that

14
makes good business sense. Workplace incidents can have a dramatic impact on
people’s lives (people in the workplace, families and friends), and they can have
significant financial impacts on organizations through loss of skilled staff and lost
production of goods or services.

Key concepts

There are four important concepts that need to be understood so that this guide
makes sense:

1. A hazard is something currently in, or may in future be in, the work

environment that has the potential to cause harm to people.
2. A risk is the chance (or likelihood) that a hazard will cause harm to
people.
3. Harm is death, injury, illness (including psychological illness) or disease
that may be suffered by a person from a hazard or risk.
4. A control is a thing, work process or system of work that eliminates an
OHS hazard or risk or, if this is not reasonably practicable, reduces the risk
so far as reasonably practicable.

Steps in controlling OHS hazards and risks

Step 1 – Identify hazards

Identifying hazards involves finding all of the foreseeable hazards in the

workplace and understanding the possible harm that the hazards may
cause.

Step 2 – Assess risks

Risk assessment is a process for developing knowledge and understanding

about hazards and risks so that sound decisions can be taken about control.
A formal risk assessment is unnecessary if the knowledge and understanding
already exist. However, there will be many times when a risk assessment is
the best way of building knowledge and understanding. Risk assessment
assists in determining:

• what levels of harm can occur

• how harm can occur
• the likelihood that harm will occur.

A risk assessment will provide knowledge to make informed decisions about

controlling hazards and risks. The risk assessment needs to be tailored to the
situation and to the organization in which it is conducted; it can be as simple as
structured discussion during consultation or it can be more elaborate and formal.

Step 3 – Control hazards and risks

Duty-holders are required to ensure health and safety by controlling risks.

Risks must be controlled by eliminating them so far as reasonably practicable
or, if this is not possible, reducing the risks that remain so far as reasonably
practicable. Arriving at appropriate controls involves:

15
 • Identifying the options for controls. A control option may be a single
control or it may be made up of a number of different controls that
together provide protection against a risk.
• Considering the control options and selecting a suitable option that most
effectively eliminates or reduces risk in the circumstances.
• Implementing the selected option. Note: mandatory controls specified in
the OHS regulations must be implemented regardless of the results of the
method in this guide.

Step 4 – Check controls

Controls that are put in place to protect the health and safety of people need
to be monitored to ensure that they work as planned. This requires checking
them and ensuring that processes are put in place to identify and quickly fix
problems.

Checking controls Checking controls involves the same methods as in the

initial hazard identification step (step 1), and creates the loop in which
workplace health and safety measures are maintained. Common methods
used to check the effectiveness of controls are:

• inspecting the workplace

• consulting employees
• testing and measuring
• using available information
• analysing records and data.

What is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Using personal protective equipment (PPE) helps to prevent the transmission of
communicable diseases between patients and health care providers. It can also
help to prevent the contamination of exposed wounds or sores from germs or
bacteria that can travel from a health care provider to the patient. Knowing how
to properly use PPE can help to insure the safety and well-being of health care
providers and emergency responders.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Here are the types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use for safety
purposes:

1. Goggles or face protection - must be used when at

risk from flying particles, liquid chemicals, acids or
caustic liquids and chemical gases. There are various
goggles for face protection with certain design criteria
for safety.

2. Safety shoes - with impact protection are used in

work areas where heavy objects or tools could be
accidentally dropped on the feet. Safety shoes with
puncture protection are required when working
around nails, wire tacks, scrap metals and other
objects that could fierce the feet.

16
 3. Hand Protection Gloves - are required to protect
your hands from cuts, scrapes, punctures, burns,
chemical absorption, and exhaust temperatures. It is
crucial that the type of glove being used is the right
one for the job.

4. Hearing Protection - Appropriate earmuffs or ear

plugs must be made available as a last resort if it is
not possible to make the workplace less noisy. The
requirement is a small part of the occupational noise
exposure standard which requires employers to
ensure that workers are exposed to less than 90
decibels of noise over an 8-hour period.

5. Over-all or Cover-all- The main purpose of

wearing this kind of clothing is to protect our
limbs and body from metal dusts, flaming
combustion, flying chips, minute particles and
stray metallic objects from abrasive wheels,
drills and cutting tools.

6. Protective Headgear- A safety helmet or wide-

brimmed hat for head protection. This can be used by
a draftsman during the actual visitation of the project
site.

7. Respirators - Appropriate respirators must be worn

as a last resort if it is not possible

8. Fire extinguisher- A portable device containing

chemicals that can be sprayed on a fire to put it
out.

9. Apron-a protective or decorative garment worn over the front

of one's clothes and tied at the back.

What is waste management?

It is the collection, transport, processing, recycling, or disposal of waste materials.
Waste Management program helps manage hazardous chemical, radioactive, medical
and other wastes safely and legally.

Types of Waste
Waste includes all items that people no longer have any use for, which they either
intend to get rid of or have already discarded. Many items can be considered as waste

17
like household rubbish, sewage sludge, wastes from manufacturing activities,
packaging items, discarded cars, old televisions, garden waste, old paint containers
and others. Thus, all our daily activities can give rise to a large variety of different
wastes arising from different sources.

Solid wastes
Solid waste is defined as any waste that is dry in form and is discarded as unwanted.
Solid waste from general housekeeping is described as residential waste, refuse,
household waste or domestic waste. Examples are plastics, styrofoam containers,
bottles, cans, papers, scrap iron, and other trashes.

Liquid Wastes
Liquid waste includes human waste, runoff (storm water or flood water), sullage,
industrial wastewater and other forms of wastewater from different sources.
Examples are chemicals, oils, wastewater from ponds.

Keep Your Workplace Clean and Organized

What is 5S?

The 5Ss are Japanese words that start with letter S. But in the Philippines, some
thought of 5 English words that all begin with letter S which is equivalent to these
Japanese words; it is therefore necessary to remember the Japanese’ 5Ss. What is
important aside from retaining this into our minds is to make it part of our daily
habit.
Below are the 5Ss and their English equivalent:
5S’s is not simply a list of action items. It is an integrated concept of action, condition
and culture. The nature and implication of each S needs to be understood as follows:

1. SEIRI (SORT) is an ACTION to identify and eliminate all unnecessary items

from your workplace.
2. SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE) is an ACTION to put every necessary items in good
order.
3. SEISO (SWEEP) is an ACTION to clean your workplace thoroughly.
4. SIEKETSU (SANITIZE) is a CONDITION where high standard of good
housekeeping is maintained so that there is no dust and rust anywhere.
5. SHITSUKE (SELF-DISCIPLINE) is a CONDITION where all members practice
accordingly. It is a CULTURE.

HOW TO PRACTICE 5S?

SEIRI (SORT) means “take out unnecessary items and

dispose’
• Look around your workplace. Discover and
identify items which are unnecessary to your
work. Then, dispose all unnecessary items.
“NEVER KEEP ANYTHING WHICH IS
UNNECESSARY TO YOUR WORK.”

18
 • If you cannot decide whether an item is necessary
or not, put “DISPOSAL NOTICE” with the data on
the item and set item aside.
• After a period, say two months, check if someone
has the item or not. If no one needed the item, that
means the item is not needed for your work.

SEITON (SYSTEMATIZE) means “Arrange necessary items in

good order to use”

• Make sure that all unnecessary items are

eliminated from your workplace.
• Decide with your workmates which things to put
when taking into account the flow of your work.
The principle is to put most frequently needed
items close to the user so as to minimize the
movement of the person. Things which are not
so often used could not be placed slightly further
away.
• It is necessary to make sure that everyone at your
workplace knows what is kept for efficient use.
Make a list of things with location and put it in a
locker or cabinet. Label each drawer/cabinet to
show what is kept in side.

SEISO (SWEEP) means “Clean your workplace”. There is a very

strong correlation between quality of products and cleanliness of
the workplace where products are manufactured. Accordingly,
SEISO (SWEEP) should be practiced every day, and
sometimes, even during the day. The following are suggested
for your SEISO (SWEEP) operation:

• Do not wait until things get dirty. Clean your

workplace, including machines, equipment,
tools and furniture regularly so that they do not
have chance to get dirty.
• Put things inside for 3 minutes every day.
• You and your workmates should be responsible
for the dirty works around you. The janitors or
sweepers will look after the common areas only.
• Never throw anything and make it your habit.
• Cleaning is also checking.

SEIKETSU (SANITIZE) means “Maintain high standard of

housekeeping”. So as not to waste your effort, do not stop after
implementing initial 3Ss. The following are suggested for your
SEIKETSU(SANITIZE) operation:

19
 • Do not wait until things get dirty. Clean your
workplace, including machines, equipment,
tools and furniture regularly so that they do not
have chance to get dirty.
• Put things inside for 3 minutes every day.
• You and your workmates should be responsible
for the dirty works around you. The janitors or
sweepers will look after the common areas only.
• Never throw anything and make it your habit.

SHITSUKE (SELF-DISCIPLINE) means “Do things

spontaneously without being told or ordered.” It is to make
everyone practice 4Ss spontaneously and willingly as habit or
way of life. There is no other way to foster such culture than
practicing 4Ss regularly until such time when everyone
becomes fond of 5Ss.
To help such corporate culture conducive to 5Ss, the
following need to be emphasized:

• Treat your workplace as your own home.

• You are spending most of your “WAKING”
• TIME” at your workplace than at home.
• Your workplace is an important place
where to make income for yourself and
