    Lesson Title: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES
    Worksheet #1

    CONCEPT NOTES:
    Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), also commonly referred to as Occupational
    Health and Safety (OHS), Occupational Health, or Workplace Health and Safety(WHS), is
    a multidisciplinary field concerned with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work.
    The main concept of OHS is to make sure every person who work inside the laboratory
    area will be safe from harm and prevent from unexpected incidents. You will be able to
    identify a certain hazards and risk that may occur but let us know first the difference
    between HAZARDS and RISKS. Hazards are situation that can cause harm like electricity,
    chemicals, high places, stress, etc. Risk is the occurrence of harm and the severity of that
    harm.

    What types of hazards are there?


    A common way to classify hazards is by category:
     biological - bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and humans, etc.,
     chemical - depends on the physical, chemical and toxic properties of the
    chemical
     ergonomic - repetitive movements, improper set up of workstation, etc.,
     physical - radiation, magnetic fields, pressure extremes (high pressure or vacuum),
    noise, etc.,
     psychosocial - stress, violence, etc.,
     safety - slipping/tripping hazards, inappropriate machine guarding, equipment
    malfunctions or breakdowns.

    How are you going to assess the risk?


     Hazard Identification
     Risk Analysis and Risk Evaluation
     Risk Control

    EXERCISE:
    A. Watch a video presentation from this link youtube.com/watch?v=dS4PWTJ51d8 on
    different hazards and risk and answer the following questions: (5pts each)
    1. Based from the video, what type of hazard was presented?
    2. What were the risks involved?
    3. If you are to evaluate the hazards and risks you had viewed, what possible
    recommendations will you give? Why?
