    Study Notes

    Terrain Challenges

    • Geodetic engineers often work in mountainous regions or construction sites.
    • Risks include falls, slips, or being struck by falling objects.

    Extreme Weather Exposure

    • Geodetic engineers often work outdoors in harsh weather conditions.
    • Prolonged exposure can lead to heat stress, hypothermia, or dehydration.

    Vibration and Noise

    • Use of surveying equipment can produce high noise levels and vibrations.
    • Potential hazards include hearing loss or hand-arm vibration syndrome.

    Radiation Exposure

    • Geodetic engineers may be exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation.
    • Exposure to non-ionizing radiation from the sun during extended outdoor work.

    Elimination

    • The most effective control strategy is to completely eliminate the hazard from the work environment.

    Substitution

    • Replace a hazardous material, process, or equipment with something less dangerous.

    Engineering Controls

    • Isolate workers from the hazard or physically alter the workplace to minimize the risks.

    Administrative Controls

    • Change work practices, training, and implement procedures to reduce the risk of exposure.

    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

    • PPE serves as the last line of defense and is used when other controls cannot fully eliminate the risk.
    • PPE protects workers by providing a physical barrier against hazards.

    Noise Control

    • Hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) and noise-reducing modifications to equipment.

    Thermal Control

    • Heat stress management programs include adequate hydration, frequent breaks in shaded areas, and appropriate clothing for temperature extremes.

    Vibration Control

    • Use of anti-vibration gloves and limiting exposure to vibrating tools through administrative controls like job rotation.

    Radiation Protection

    • Wearing sunscreen and using protective clothing for non-ionizing radiation from sunlight.

    Vaccinations

    • Ensuring that workers are vaccinated against diseases like tetanus and rabies.

    Insect Repellents and PPE

    • Using mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves, pants, and boots to prevent bites and stings.

    Hygiene Protocols

    • Regular handwashing and use of sanitizers to prevent infections from bacteria and fungi.

    Environmental Controls

    • Ensuring that areas prone to pests are properly managed (e.g., insect control measures or rodent-proofing facilities).

    Bacterial Infections

    • Ensure clean, uncontaminated water supply to avoid waterborne bacterial infections.
    • Use environmentally friendly cleaning products that do not promote bacterial growth.
    • Install hand-washing stations and provide access to sanitizing facilities in remote field locations.
    • Enforce strict personal hygiene protocols, including regular hand washing and sanitizing.
    • Workers should use gloves and face masks to prevent exposure when working in areas at risk of bacterial contamination.

    Government Legislation

    • Laws, regulations, and statutes enacted by a governing body to regulate various aspects of society.

    Constitutional Laws

    • Fundamental laws that define the framework of government, its powers, and the rights of citizens

    Statutory Laws

    • Laws formally written and enacted by the legislative branch of government

    Administrative Regulations

    • Detailed rules and regulations created by government agencies to implement and enforce statutory laws

    Judicial Interpretations

    • Court interpretations of legislation that become part of the law, particularly when there are disputes about how to apply statutory laws

    Purpose of Legislation

    • Legislation is created to address specific social, economic, environmental, or political issues.

    Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Standards

    • Employers must identify and control hazards by applying the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative, and PPE).
    • Mandatory training on safety procedures for workers exposed to workplace hazards.
    • Employers must conduct risk assessments and implement safety management systems.
    • The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has the authority to penalize employers who fail to comply with OSH standards.

    DOLE Department Order No. 13

    • This order specifically governs the construction industry, where many geodetic engineers work.
    • Outlines detailed safety measures for construction sites, addressing hazards such as falling objects, machinery operation, and chemical exposures.

    Key Provisions of DOLE Department Order No. 13

    • Safety officers must be assigned to monitor and enforce safety protocols on construction sites.
    • PPE must be provided to workers, including hard hats, gloves, and safety boots.
    • A safety program must be implemented at all construction sites, with regular safety meetings and reporting of incidents.
    • Employers must provide first aid facilities and access to healthcare for injured workers.

    DOLE Department Order No. 198

    • Provides the detailed implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of RA 11058.
    • Outlines the responsibilities of employers, workers, and government agencies in ensuring workplace safety and industrial hygiene.
