from falling and prevents drop objects from unprotected edge, such as guard rail
system.
Fall protection: the equipment used to minimize the injury in the event of
accidental fall such as safety harness.

The NFPA Diamond (also known as the Fire Diamond or Safety Square) is a
standardized labeling system used to quickly and easily identify the risks posed by
hazardous materials.
1. Health Hazard: This section indicates the potential health risks associated with the
material. It is rated from 0 (minimal hazard) to 4 (severe hazard).
2. Flammability: This section indicates the ease with which the material can ignite and
burn. It is rated from 0 (non-flammable) to 4 (highly flammable).
3. Reactivity: This section indicates the potential for the material to react violently or
explosively under certain conditions. It is rated from 0 (stable) to 4 (extremely unstable).
4. Special Hazards: This section indicates any specific hazards not covered by the other
three sections. It is denoted by letters that represent various hazards, such as:
W: Water Reactive
O: Oxidizer
COR: Corrosive
POISON: Poisonous
BIO: Biological Hazard
SDS stands for Safety Data Sheet. It's a document that provides comprehensive information
about a chemical or substance. This information includes:
Physical and chemical properties: Things like appearance, odor, flammability, and
reactivity.
Health hazards: Potential risks to human health, including acute and chronic effects.
Environmental hazards: How the substance might affect the environment.
Safe handling and storage practices: Guidelines for how to safely use, store, and
transport the substance.
Emergency procedures: What to do in case of a spill, fire, or other emergency.
Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions are two primary factors that contribute to accidents in
the workplace. Understanding these concepts is crucial for preventing accidents and
ensuring a safe working environment.
Unsafe Acts
Unsafe Conditions
Unsafe conditions are physical factors in the workplace that can lead to accidents or
injuries.
TWA stands for Time-Weighted Average. It's a measurement used to determine the
average exposure to a hazardous substance over an eight-hour workday.
