Occupational Health and Safety Procedures

Occupational health and safety is a planned system to prevent illness and injury in the workplace.
Recognizing and identifying hazards and risks is key to this system.
Hazards include noisy machinery, moving forklifts, chemicals, electricity, working at heights.
Risk is the possibility of harm (death, injury, or illness) from exposure to a hazard.
Safety procedures include the three think safe steps:
- Spot the hazard: Identify anything that can hurt you or someone else.
- Assess the risk: Determine how likely a hazard is to cause harm and how serious the harm could be.
- Make the changes: Take steps to eliminate or control the hazard (e.g., picking up items from the floor).
Common hazards include slips, trips, and falls, mechanical hazards (e.g., sharp edges), chemical hazards (e.g., toxic materials), and electrical hazards (e.g., electric shocks).
Safety guidelines include protecting people from injury, protecting equipment from damage, and protecting the environment from contamination.
Always read warnings and instructions on labels for chemicals.
Inside computers and electronic equipment, voltages range from 3.3 volts to 25 volts; most are harmless.
