What is a workplace hazard?

Is anything at work that can harm a
person PHYSICALLY and MENATALLY.
TYPES OF HAZARD
• PHYSICAL
• CHEMICAL
• BIOLOGICAL
• ERGONOMIC
PHYSICAL HAZARD
Hazard due to transfer of energy
between an object and worker
EXCESSIVE NOISE VIBRATION
INADEQUATE RADIATION
ILLUMINATION INADEQUATE
EXTREME VENTILATION
TEMPERATURE CLUTTERED AREA
EXTREME PRESSURE CARELESSNESS OF
THE WORKER
CHEMICAL HAZARD
Hazard due to contact with

chemical arise from inhaling
chemical agents in the form of
vapor , gases, dust , mist ,or skin
contact with these materials.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARD
Hazard due to contact with living organism which
include insect, molds, fungi, viruses, and bacterial
contamination; from defects in sanitation and
housekeeping procedures, such as in the provision
of potable water, removal of industrial waste and
sewage, food handling, and personal cleanliness.
COMMON HEALTH PROBLEMS FROM
BIOLOGICAL HAZARD
Tuberculosis
Tetanus
Viral hepatitis
HIV/AIDS
ERGONOMIC
Are workplace
condition that stress
and strain the body.
COMMON WORKPLACE INJURY

FALLS
THE MOST COMMON
TYPES OF WORKPLACE
ACCIDENT. FALLS IN THE
SAME SURFACE AND
FALLS TO BELOW
IMPACT
resulting from
being struck by and
struck against
NOISE
exposure to excessive
noise can result
hearing loss that not
only affect's you but
can impact on the
people who live and
work with you.
TOXICS
all materials are
potentially toxic
to some extent
ROUTES OF TOXIC MATERIALS IN HUMAN
BODY
inhalation absorption
ingestion injection
Arc rays can damage both eyes and skin, so
wear proper protective clothing and filter
lenses
Fumes and Gases- Use proper ventilation
and position yourself out of the fume flow
HEAT AND TEMPERATURE
over exposure to
heat and
temperature can
cause burns
FLAMMABILITY/FIRE
FIRE MAY CAUSE

BURN INJURIES
PRESSURE
HIGH AND LOW
PRESSURE MAY
CAUSE INJURY
ELECTRICAL CONTACT
EXPOSURE TO
ELECTRICAL
CURRENT MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR
DEATH
ERGONOMICS
improper lifting,
lowering, pushing
pulling, and
twisting can cause
strains and
sprains.
Safety Signs and Symbols
Symbols may show and help to explain the
hazards quickly.
· Symbols can be understood by both

readers and non-readers.
· Symbols may be multilingual and usually

translate directly into all
languages.
DANGER. Used to indicate an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury
Prohibition signs are regulatory signs which
indicate that an action or activity is
not allowed.
WARNING. This indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury
CAUTION. Used to indicate a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury
. Regulatory Signs- signs contain instructions.
Failure to comply with them constitutes
an offense under law, standing orders, company
policy, etc
Mandatory signs are regulatory signs which indicate
that an instruction must be carried out
Emergency Information Signs- indicate the
location of, or direction to,
emergency- related facilities (exits, first aid,
safety equipment, etc.).
General Information Signs- communicate
information of a general nature in order to
avoid misunderstanding or confusion
ACCIDENT
An occurrence or event that is

unexpected/ unforeseen,
unplanned and unwanted.
Common Reasons for Accidents
Layman’s version:
•‘Oras na kasi niya, hayaan na siyang
mamahinga!’
•‘Ang malas naman niya!’
•‘Tanga kasi niya!’
•‘Kasama sa trabaho yan!’
These are not real causes - - -
only EXCUSES
Examples of Unsafe Acts
•Operating equipment without authority
•Removing safety devices
•Using Defective equipment
•Improper/Non-use of PPE
•Horse playing
•Working while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Failure to secure or tie down materials to prevent
unexpected movement .
Working or operating equipment too fast.
Servicing moving equipment
Riding equipment not designed for passengers
Examples of Unsafe Conditions
•Inadequate guards/protection
•Defective tools, equipment
•Congested / blocked exits
•Inadequate warning systems
•Slippery floors
•Hazardous atmospheric condition
•Excessive noise
•Extreme temperature
•Inadequate illumination/ ventilation
Can accidents be prevented?
Generally…
98% - preventable
88% - unsafe / unhealthy ACTS
10% - unsafe/unhealthy CONDITIONS
2% - non-preventable
Burns
Are one of the most common and

painful injuries that occur in the
welding
First degree burns
burns have occurred when the
surface of the skin is severely
damaged, resulting in the
formulation of blister and possible
breaks in the skin.
Second degree burns
burns have occurred when the surface
of the skin is severely damaged,
resulting in the formation of blister
and possible breaks in the skin.
Third degree burns
burns have occurred when the surface
of the skin and possibly the tissue
below the skin appear white.
3 Types of burns cause by Light
1. Ultraviolet light- light waves are most
dangerous they can cause first degree
and second degree burns to a welder
eyes or to any exposed skin.
2. Infrared light- light waves that is felt
as heat.
3. Visible light- light that we see

block out noise. To work effectively, they should fit
snugly into the ear canal.
Ear Muffs a device composed of a headband with two

cushioned ear cups that form a seal around the outer
ear, covering it completely and blocking out the noise.

 Radiation
Body Protection Tools
Welding Apron is an outer protective garments that

covers primarily the front of the body.
Coverall a full-length protective outer garments

often zipped up the front.
Respiratory PPE
 Needed when work presents an inhalation hazard.
 Working with uncontained chemicals.
 Working with highly toxic chemicals.
 Working in dusty environment.
 Painting.
 Welding.
Respiratory PPE Tool
Dust mask is a flexible pad held over the nose and

mouth by elastic rubber straps to protect against dust
encountered during construction or cleaning
activities.
