8.0 Accident/Incident/Illnesses Investigation & Reporting

We consider accident/incident/illnesses investigation and reporting as our responsibility.

Absenteeism can greatly affect our work schedule. Looking for replacement can be costly for the
company, the hiring effort, training of new workers, the loss of job momentum affect our
productivity. We involve our supervisors in this program because they are more familiar with the
people involved, they have better understanding of the operation, and they have personal interest
in the investigation since it’s their people who are involved. For this reason, the Edres
Construction Supply is committed to include this responsibility to all supervisors and made them
aware about it.

8.1 Persons responsible for conducting investigation

9.1 Cleaning and Proper Maintenance of PPEs

It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained. Cleaning is particularly important
for eye and face protection where dirty or fogged lenses could impair vision. Our workers or
employees inspect, clean, and maintain their PPE according to the manufacturers’ instructions before
and after each use. Our supervisors are responsible for ensuring that users properly maintain their
PPEs in good condition.

We enforce our rule that PPEs must not be shared between workers or employees until it has been
properly cleaned and sanitized. PPE are distributed for individual use whenever possible.

If workers or employees provide their own PPEs, we make sure that it is adequate for the work place
hazards, and that it is maintained in a clean and stored in a conducive condition.

We never allow the use of defective or damaged PPEs. We immediately discard and replace them to
avoid any unintentional use.

We also consider the importance of ensuring that any contaminated PPE which cannot be
decontaminated is disposed of in a manner that protects workers or employees from exposure to
hazards

strain on your body or the harm these hazards pose. Short-term exposure may result in "sore
muscles" on the days following exposure, but long term exposure can result in serious
musculoskeletal injuries.

The ergonomic hazards that we identified for this project includes but not limited to the

14.3 Safe Work Practices

Safe work practices are procedures adopted for carrying out specific tasks that ensures
workers' exposure to hazardous situations, substances, and physical agents is controlled in a
safe manner. Safe work practices are generally written methods outlining how to perform a
task with minimum risk to people, equipment, materials, environment, and processes. It
should be developed as a result of completing a Hazard Assessment and should closely
reflect the activities in this project.

All safe work practices should be kept in a location central to the work being performed and
readily available to the workforce. Some safe work practices will require specific job
procedures, which clearly set out in a chronological order each step in a process.
