Study Notes
Importance of Occupational Safety and Health
- Occupational safety and health aims to protect workers from hazards, accidents, and diseases in various facilities and factories.
- The goal is to preserve physical elements, including buildings and establishments, from damage and reduce financial losses.
Workplace Safety
- Includes awareness of laborers about safety basics, hazards, and their risks.
- Involves implementation of hazard prevention devices, such as personal protective equipment, and safety techniques like machine safety, brochures, and posters.
- Also includes safety rules and regulations, labor training, and education to make workers aware of new safety measures.
Objectives of Occupational Safety and Health
- Acquaint students with hazards that may exist in each workplace.
- Introduce occupational safety and health principles to reduce accidents in each workshop.
Hazards in the Machine Shop
- Mechanical hazards: contact with moving parts, sharp edges, rough surfaces, or exposure to falling objects.
- Electrical hazards: electrical shock due to contact with live wires or electrical parts exposed.
- Thermal hazards: contact with molten materials or hot parts, leading to burns.
- Chemical hazards: exposure to toxic materials, leading to toxicity or suffocation.
- Physical hazards: slipping, trips, or falling.
- Other hazards: exposure to noise, repetitive motions, and vibrations, leading to chronic diseases.
Safety Guidelines
- Avoid wearing long clothing, jewelry, or scarves that might catch in rotating or moving parts.
- Remove rough and burrs from workpieces to prevent cuts upon contact.
- Always wear personal protective equipment to minimize the risk of external hazards.
