    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.
