QUOTE
TO
PONDER
 WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH?
Occupational Safety and Health is a
multidisciplinary field concerned with
SAFETY, HEALTH, and
WELFARE of people at WORK.
 HEALTH
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity.

SAFETY
State of freedom from risk, usually achieved through all measures & arrangements
set to protect workers from injury or ill health.

WELFARE
The provision of facilities to maintain the health & well being of individuals at
work.
 REASONS FOR MAINTAINING AND
PROMOTING GOOD STANDARDS OF
HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE
WORKPLACE?
 PROTECT PEOPLE FROM INJURY & ILL
HEALTH. BEST REFLECTED BY THE
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE AND ACCIDENT
RATE.
OSH Statistics Worldwide:

According to 2017 calculation by the

International Labour Organzation (ILO):

2.78M Fatal accidents occur at work

yearly

374M non-fatal work related injuries

and illness
TYPE OF INJURY
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES
 ANY ACCIDENT OR ILL-HEALTH WILL
COST BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT
LOSSES, WHICH COULD BE INSURED OR
UNINSURED
SOCIETAL

Society would expect:

- Safe and sound industry operations that is unlikely to cause
any harm or disaster that might affect the community.
- Company’s responsibility and give back, outreach safety
awareness campaigns and free information to the community.
- Sharing resources during time of need
- First aid awareness campaigns or building pedestrians bridges
or visiting schools as a sort of giving back to society
 DESCRIBES THE OBLIGATION OR DUTY
THAT IS ENFORCED BY A COURT OF LAW,
IT CAN BE A DEBT AND THE LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO CARRY OUT WHAT
THE LAW ASKS.
 R.A 11058

occupational safety and
health standards and
providing penalties for
violations.

TRUE OF FALSE

The OSH program does not need to be considered

in the company’s budget allocation because the
company can ask for funding from DOLE and OSH
trainings are offered for free.

FALSE – IT MUST BE ALLOCATED FOR IN THE

BUDGET!
 MODULE 2: UNDERSTANDING
OSH
OBJECTIVES:

PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE

TO UNDERSTAND, LEARN AND
DISCUSS BASIC CONCEPTS OF
OSH TOWORDS AN EFFECTIVE
OSH IMPLEMENTATION IN THE
WORKPLACE
 OUTLINE FOR MODULE 2
General Concept on OSH

- Accident Causation Theories

- Accident Causation and Prevention
1. Unsafe Acts and Unsafe Conditions
2. Accident Prevention
3. Benefits of having Safety & Health practices in the Workplace.
WHAT IS AN
ACCIDENT?
 ACCIDENTS THEORIES AND
MODEL
The pure chance theory
- Every one of any given set of workers has an equal chance of being involved in an accident.
- All accidents are treated as acts of God, and it is held that there exist no interventions to
prevent them

Human Factors theory

- Human factors theory accident causation attributes accidents to a chain of events ultimately
cause by human error. It consists of three broad factors that lead to human error: overload,
inappropriate response, and inappropriate activities.
Domino Theory – W.H. Heinrich (1931)
- 88% off all accidents are cause by unsafe acts of people, 10% by unsafe
actions and 2% by “acts of GOD”
- A “five-factor accident sequence” In which each factor would actuate the
next step in the manner of toppling dominoes lined up in a row
- Ancestry and social environment
- Worker fault
- Unsafe act together with mechanical and physical hazard
- Accident
- Damage injury
 UNSAFE ACT
The human action that departs from a
standard job procedure or safe practice,
safety regulations or instructions.
 UNSAFE CONDITIONS
The physical or chemical property of a material,
machine or the environment which could result in injury
to a person, damage or destruction to property or other
forms of losses.

A situation that can cause and accident or injury

 UNSAFE CONDITIONS
- Wet slippery floors
- Unstable stacking of materials
- Protruding rebar's
- Live conductors without insulation
- Equipment without machine guarding
- Poor storage of combustible materials (Ex. Storage of 2,750 tons
of ammonium nitrate in Beirut Lebanon 181+ death, stocked
unsafely and working in an unsafe conditions)
 UNSAFE ACT VS UNSAFE CONDITIONS
QUESTIONS ANSWER
1. Operator was using equipment without permission UNSAFE ACT
2. A worker was using defective equipment UNSAFE ACT
3. Found a faulty equipment at workplace UNSAFE CONDITION
4. Found scaffolding without a guard rail UNSAFE CONDITION
5. A grinder man was using faulty equipment UNSAFE ACT
6. Found an open excavation without barricades UNSAFE CONDITION
 HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENT?
Requires the promotion of safe behaviors
and maintenance behaviors and
maintenance of a safe working
environment.
 MODULE 3
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION,
RISK ASSESSMENT AND
CONTROL
(HIRAC)
 WHAT IS HAZARD?
A hazard is an existing (or potential) hazardous or
unsafe condition or work practice that, by itself or
in combination with other conditions, could cause
injury, illness, or death to workers, as well as cause
property damage.

 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS
A. Elimination and Substitution
- Most effect at reducing hazards, also tend to the most difficult to implement in a an existing
process.
B. Engineering Controls
- Engineering controls shall be favored over administrative and personal protective equipment
(PPE) for controlling existing worker exposures in the workplace because they are designed to
remove the hazard at the source, before it comes in contact with the worker.
C. Administrative Controls
- Administrative control are changes in workplace procedures such as written safety policies,
rules, supervision, schedules, and training with the goal of reducing the duration, frequency, and
severity of exposure to hazardous.
 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS
D. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- PPE is equipment that will protect the user against healthy or safety risk at work.
Includes: items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility, clothing,
safety footwear, and safety harnesses.
