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
