Hazard or risk? from where you both physical, -stress, work working Will discuss later. mental and social environmentat - 5 Main objectives of OSH  Thepromotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workersgood way? -> -> not compensate good condition  Theprevention of workers from any adverse health effects caused by their working environments  Mainly study how to prevent accident, instead of compensation to workers after injuries/deaths.  Theprotection of workers from risks due to any adverse factors and save -safe proceger way  The adaption of safe work practice to workers 6 History of occupational safety and health I founded by queen  In 1833, HM Factory Inspectorate was formed in United Kingdom with a remit to inspect the factories and ensure the prevention of injury to child textile workers.  In 1840, a Royal Commission published its findings on the state of conditions for the workers of the mining industry that documented the appallingly dangerous environment that they had to work in and the high frequency of accident. First report indicate the potential dangerous working environment and ask the employer to improve 7 History of occupational safety and health  (con’t) The commission sparked public outrage which result in the Act of 1842. The act set up an inspectorate for mines and collieries which resulted in many prosecutions and safety improvements, any by 1850, inspectors were able to enter and inspect premises at their discretion.  Otto von Bismarch inaugurated the first social insurance legislation in 1883 and the first worker’s compensation law in 1884 – the first of their kind in the Western world. 8  e.g., check if the lead content of the product meets the requirement Some definitions track whether re requirement  Testing laboratory is a body that performs conformity assessment services, known as “Conformity assessment body”. A laboratory is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific research, experiments, and measurement may be performed. e.g., temperature, relative humidity, etc. ∵ environmental factors will affect the accuracy of testing results a lotof machine ↓ environment alotof working 9 Some definitions  Construction site ( 建 築 地 盤 ) means a place where construction work is undertaken and also any area in the immediate vicinity of any such place which is used for the storage of materials or plant used or intended to be used for the purpose of the construction work. 10 Some definitions e.g., food manufacturing factory, precast concrete factory A factory, manufacturing plant or a production plant is an industrial site, often a complex consisting of several buildings filled with machinery, where workers manufacture items or operate machines which process each item into another. They are a critical part of modern economic production, with the majority of the world's goods being created or processed within factories. 11 Core OSH principles higher change  All workers have rights ↑  e.g., workers can rejected the employers’ work instruction if the employers cannot provide a suitable safety equipment or arrangement. must lab/com/factory -> allhave safety rules  Occupational safety andthehealth policies must be established -> over hole country  e.g., at both the national (governmental) and enterprise levels  e.g., safety training for new staffs and refreshment training for existing staff -> some program activity to or promote occupational safely andhealth  A national system for occupational safety and health must be established  e.g., Ordinances/regulations for employer/employee to follow 12 Core OSH principles (con’t)  A nationalprogramme on occupational safety and health must be formulated.  e.g., assign inspectors to visit the factory #NE  Social partners and other stakeholders must be involved  e.g., Government establish committees to carry out consultation  Occupational safety and health programmes and policies must aim at both prevention and protection  Continuous improvement of occupational safety and health must be promoted  e.g., ISO 45001 “Occupational health and safety management systems” aims to promote the continuous improvement 13 Core OSH principles (con’t)  Information is vital for the development and implementation of effective programmes and policies  e.g., collection and dissemination of accurate information on hazards and hazardous materials  Health promotion is a central element of occupational health practice  e.g., Regular training, seminar and competition can be refresh the mindset of the workers.  Occupational health services covering all workers should be established let all ofthemknow whatis safe  e.g., front-line staffs (e.g., worker, office clerk), middle level staffs and top managements. 14 Core OSH principles (con’t)  Compensation, rehabilitation and curative services must be made available to workers who suffer occupational injuries, accidents and work related diseases  e.g., in Hong Kong, Occupational Health Clinic help to determine whether workers suffer from occupational diseases/injuries -> green cond  Educationand training are vital components of safe, healthy working environments X yo  thought some Either provided by government or employers or professional safetytreatment institutions For example, to work in a construction site you need to attend Mandatory Basic Safety Training Courses (commonly known as ‘Green Card’) https://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/osh/content5_2a.htm 15 Core OSH principles (con’t)  Workers, employers and competent authorities have certain responsibilities, duties and obligations  e.g., workers must follow established safety procedures; employers must provide safe workplaces, etc.  Policies must be enforced X rules no one dothis I rules to ensure goes refers the obligation 16  Concept of Hazards and Risks 17 Hazards vs. Risks Hazards chemical Hazards, water on the stairs ↓ ↓ people step on it will falls  An exposure to an actual or potential cause of loss, in terms of injury, death, or damage to properties or the environment. For example, chemical and electrical hazards and hazards associated with working at height.  Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects will cause Hazard -> that cause loss may Jak 18 Hazards vs. Risks Hazards Example of hazards  Water on a staircase is a hazard, because people could slip on it, fall and hurt themselves.  Loud noise is a hazard because it can cause hearing loss.  Breathing in asbestos dust is a hazard because it can cause cancer. 19 Hazards vs. Risks Renability Risk thappen min/die, health loss? - Risk = likelihood x consequence  Risk is the product of the consequence and likelihood (probability) of a hazardous event.  ISO 31000 defines to be the “effect of uncertainty on objectives”. 20 Hazards vs. Risks Risk Example of risk  Smoking cigarettes -> only change certain that these  Consequence (hazardous event): Die because of lung people died due cancer to  Likelihood: Probability of smokers that died because of lung zanser lung cancer (e.g., 1 per 100,000 smokers)  Crossing the road I have changes  Consequence (hazardous event): Hit by a vehicle and get injured  Likelihood: Probability of pedestrian crossing the road and hit by a vehicle 21 Hazards vs. Risks shark bite may you shark will not bite you you get into the if sea and seri if you don'tsiren Source: https://www.pig333.com/articles/raw-material-biosecurity_15429/ 22 Hazards vs. Risks which will increase the risk Factors that influence the degree of risk include:  Dose - how much a person is exposed -> toxic gas e.g. Greath 3 in 103  Route of entrance -> I-> different cause different in 205 risk  Properties of substances effecton  For example: your  Chemical – e.g., toxic gas body  Physical – e.g., radiation  Biological – e.g., virus Figure - Route of entrance 23  Quarterly magazine by EMSD. Summarize some Hazards vs. Risks accident cases and provide suggestion Case 1: Electrocution  An electrical worker is repairing a fixed electrical appliance without switching off the main switch,  Hazard: Electricity.  Risk: Thelikelihood that a worker might be electrocuted because of exposure to electrical wires. How to avoid? 24 Hazards vs. Risks Case 2: Physical Injuries - back strain A worker brings a 20 kg bag (tool kits) to the site every day.  Hazard: 20kg bag. -> heavy weight  Risk:The likelihood that a worker might suffer back strain from manually lifting 20kg bag. ↓ all worker will have not injury. How to avoid? 25 (Harmful chemical) ** to +30% avoid/Remove the Risk  Risk Management is a process of thinking systematically about all possible risks, problems or disasters before they happen and setting up procedures that will avoid the risk, /5 or minimize its impact, or cope with its impact. -> protect the worker  eventhough Various procedures could be adopted to evaluate the potential risk still exist hazards and risks of a specific case  It is basically setting up a process where you can identify the risk and setup a strategy to control or deal with it.  For example:  preventive actions (e.g., safety guard for the machinery) safety training  -inspect and evaluate the accidentto find out the reason  corrective actions (based on the evaluation of accident) and never happen again!  It is also about making a realistic evaluation of the true level of risk. ↓ clearly understand what risk is Iavoid it 27 Risk management Risk management begins with three basic questions: -> observe the environment that what can 1. What can go wrong? go wrong  e.g., worker disassemble the safety guard, why? Affect work efficiency? 2. What will we do to prevent it? student -> don'ttake fuel into  e.g., training, inspection, etc lak 3. What will we do if it happens? -> If accidence exist, what should we de  e.g., stop the work immediately, workers will be penalized, etc. 28  Locate the hazard ~High chancement reper↳ Risk table into the risk table.
