Study Notes
Introduction to Hazards and Safety
- A hazard is anything that can cause harm to people, property, or the environment.
- Safety means being free from risk or injury.
- Industrial safety focuses on protecting workers from dangers in industrial settings.
Definition of Industrial Hazards
- Industrial hazards are conditions created by industries that can lead to injury, death, or property loss.
Types of Industrial Hazards
-
Biological hazards: originate from organisms foreign to the affected individual. Examples include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi found in food. They can cause diseases.
-
Chemical hazards: Substances with properties that can cause harm to humans, property, or the environment. Chemicals inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin can damage respiratory, digestive, or nervous systems.
-
Mechanical hazards: Hazards associated with machinery or processes. They can cause entrapment, impact, contact, entanglement, or ejection.
-
Physical hazards: Naturally occurring processes that can cause loss or damage. They involve human and natural elements.
-
Fire and dust hazards: Dust hazards can occur in weighing, mixing, coating, capsule filling, and tablet punching processes in pharmaceutical industries. Fire hazards are categorized into Class A (solid materials), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (gases), and Class D (metals).
Industrial Dermatitis
- A skin disease caused by workplace conditions. It can be caused by irritation or allergies. Symptoms include redness, itching, swelling, scaling, cracking, and blistering.
Prevention of Industrial Dermatitis
- Change work clothes daily.
- Apply moisturizers regularly.
- Report skin problems to supervisors and seek medical attention.
- Wear protective equipment like gloves, sleeves, and boots to reduce contact with chemicals.
Accident Records
- After any accident or incident, a standard form should be completed.
- Copies of the form are kept at the factory and sent to relevant authorities.
Diagnosis and Control of Industrial Hazards
- It's important to effectively diagnose and control industrial hazards to prevent accidents and injuries.
Precautions of Industrial Hazards
- Protect head and eyes with goggles, helmets, and masks
- Protect hands, arms, legs, and feet with gloves, boots, aprons, shoes, and appropriate clothing.
- Utilize respiratory protective devices to prevent breathing in poisonous gases.
Safety Program
- Identify potential hazards and provide appropriate safety equipment and facilities.
- Develop safety policies.
- Train workers on safe work methods and provide continuing education to eliminate hazards and prevent accidents.
Conclusion
- The pharmaceutical industry must prioritize safety for employees, property, and the surrounding environment.
