Study Notes
Occupational Risks
Ergonomics
- Refers to the study of how to design tasks, jobs, and environments to minimize strain and discomfort on the body
- Risks:
- Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) from repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, and poor posture
- Fatigue, eye strain, and headaches from prolonged computer use
- Injuries from poor workspace design and layout
- Prevention:
- Implement ergonomic workstations and equipment
- Provide regular breaks and stretching exercises
- Train employees on proper lifting techniques and posture
Chemical Exposure
- Risks:
- Inhalation of toxic fumes, gases, and particles
- Skin contact with corrosive or irritant substances
- Ingestion of contaminated food or water
- Prevention:
- Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and respirators
- Implement safe handling and storage procedures
- Provide training on chemical safety and emergency response
Machine Safety
- Risks:
- Crushing, cutting, or entanglement injuries from moving parts
- Electrical shock from faulty or damaged equipment
- Fire hazards from overheating or sparks
- Prevention:
- Regularly inspect and maintain machinery
- Implement lockout/tagout procedures for maintenance and repair
- Provide training on machine operation and safety protocols
Psychosocial Risks
- Risks:
- Stress, anxiety, and depression from high workload, lack of control, and poor work-life balance
- Burnout and fatigue from prolonged work hours and shift work
- Bullying, harassment, and social isolation
- Prevention:
- Implement stress management programs and employee assistance programs (EAPs)
- Encourage open communication and provide resources for mental health
- Foster a positive work environment and promote work-life balance
Workplace Violence
- Risks:
- Physical assault, threats, and intimidation from coworkers, clients, or strangers
- Verbal abuse, harassment, and emotional distress
- Property damage and theft
- Prevention:
- Implement a zero-tolerance policy for workplace violence
- Provide training on conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques
- Enhance security measures such as surveillance cameras and access control
