    Study Notes

    Introduction to Occupational Safety and Health Standards

    • OSH standards are mandatory rules on occupational safety and health
    • They codify all safety orders
    • Objective of standards: Protect workers from occupational risks and hazards
    • Standards cover all workplaces, except mining safety

    Good Housekeeping (5S)

    • Poor housekeeping is characterized by cluttered and poorly arranged areas
    • Untidily piling of materials
    • Improperly piled materials damage other materials
    • Items no longer needed
    • Blocked aisles and passagesways
    • Materials are stuffed in out-of-the-way places

    Construction Safety

    • Safety personnel should connote a sound state of the body and mind, enabling normal work performance.
    • Safe or safety conditions refer to physical or environmental conditions, complying with standard provisions
    • Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be furnished

    Tool Hazards

    • Hand and arm injuries: Caught by moving parts, cuts, burns
    • Body injuries: Fall from heights, drowning, low oxygen levels, hit by solid or sharp objects
    • Foot injuries: Falling objects, caught in between, struck by solid and sharp objects, stepping on sharp objects

    Welding, Grinding, and Cutting

    • Approved equipment must be used
    • Cylinders must be constructed and marked according to recognized safety practices
    • Only qualified personnel should perform welding, grinding, or cutting
    • Areas for hot works must be fire-safe
    • Welding/cutting prohibited in flammable material areas

    Ladder Safety

    • Ladders are best used for short-term tasks
    • Never move, shift, or extend a ladder while someone is on it
    • Avoid carrying objects or loads that will cause imbalance
    • Ladders should ideally extend 3 feet above upper landing

    Machine Safety

    • Machines simplify tasks and transmit forces, motion, and energy
    • Hazardous mechanical motions: Cutting, punching, shearing, bending
    • Motions: Rotational, reciprocating, traversing

    Lockout/Tagout

    • Lockout (LO): Physical restraining device
    • Tagout (TO): Warning/identification tag

    Electrical Safety

    • Electrical code is adopted as the standard
    • Regional Offices have the power to issue and approve electrical installations and connections for service or power supply
    • Electrical plans are required

    Fire Safety

    • OSHA regulations govern flammable liquids and gases
    • Fire safety planning and prevention measures are crucial

    Industrial Hygiene

    • Industrial hygiene includes recognizing, evaluating, and controlling environmental factors in workplaces.
    • Chemical hazards include gases (Chlorine, Hydrogen, Ammonia, Carbon Monoxide), vapors (Benzene, Toluene, Acetone, Xylene), mists, fumes.
    • Physical hazards: Extreme temperature, radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing), extreme pressure, inadequate illumination, excessive vibration, noise
    • Biological hazards: Viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites
    • Ergonomic hazards: Awkward body postures, prolonged standing, repetitive movements

    Work Environment Measurement (WEM)

    • Determining the magnitude of hazards
    • Physically checking the environment (air quality, illumination, noise)
    • Testing for harmful substances to determine worker exposure
    • Monitoring worker exposure
