IMPORTANCE OF OSH
 What is Occupational
Safety
and Health?

Occupational safety and health (OSH)

is a multidisciplinary field
concerned with the safety, health, and welfare
of people at work.
 Why is Occupational Safety
and Health Important?

 It protects the well being of employees,

visitors and customers. Looking after Health
and Safety makes good business sense.

 Workplaces which neglect health and safety

risk prosecution, may lose staff, and may
increase costs and reduce profitability.
 Occupational Safety and
Health Standards

The DOLE is the lead agency of the

government for the administration and
enforcement of laws, policies, and
programs on occupational safety and
health.

 OSH ISSUES AND CONCERNS
• low compliance rate to OSH Standards (OSHS)
• Inadequate number of OSH personnel

• Outdated OSH Standards
• Absence of strict penalties
• Fragmented OSH Administration
• Companies see OSH as an expense; give low priority to safety & health

What is ACCIDENT?
Accident is an occurrence or
event that is unexpected /

unwanted.
 That results in
 harm to people (injury or
death),
 cause damage or loss to
properties.
 WHAT IS WORK ACCIDENT?

A Work Accident shall mean an

unplanned or unexpected
occurrence that results in personal
injury, property damage, work
stoppage or interference or
combination thereof which arises
out of in the course of employment.
Accidents – are the result of a
combination of causes, as :
 the work methods;
 the worker;
the work environment;
 the equipment used;
the organizational structure and
 the climate at the time of accident.

Accidents occur as a result of a fault in the

total system, not a fault in a individual
worker.
 INCIDENT
Is an undesired event which, under slightly
different circumstances, could have resulted
in harm to people, damage to property, or
loss to process.
 “THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG”
Accidents
Accidents or injuries are the tip of the iceberg of
hazards.

Investigate incidents since they are potential

“accidents in progress”.

Incidents

Don’t investigate only accidents. Incidents should also be reported and

investigated. They were in a sense, “aborted accidents”.
Criteria for investigating an incident: What is reasonably the worst
outcome, equipment damage, or injury to the worker? What might the
severity of the worst outcome have been? If it would have resulted in
significant property loss or a serious injury, then the incident should be
investigated with the same thoroughness as an accident investigation.

• Hazardous parts include point of operation components, control mechanisms,
parts that transmit power, and parts that retain stored energy

PREVENTION
• Any machine part, function, or process which may cause injury must be
safeguarded.
• Where the operation of a machine can injure the operator or other workers, the
hazard must be controlled or eliminated

 ELECTRICAL TERMS
 Current - is the flow of electrons. Electrons flow
through a conductor (like water in a pipeline). The
unit of flow is called Amperes.
 Voltage - is the “electromotive force” that cause the
electrons to move through a conductor (like water
pressure). The unit of force is called Volts.

 Resistance - is the opposition to the flow of

electrons (like the pipe friction to the flow of
water). The unit is in Ohms.

 Power - is measured in Watts. It is computed as

volts x amperes.
 TYPE OF CURRENT
ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) - continually
reverses its direction of flow many times a
second at regular intervals.

DIRECT CURRENT (DC) - flows only in one

direction. The flow is said to be from negative to
positive. The common source of Direct Current
is a dry cell or storage battery.
The electricity that comes
out of a battery is 12-volt
DC (direct current).

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT &

 WHAT IS SAFETY ?
• Freedom of oneself from HAZARDS.
• Control of hazards to attain an acceptable level of
RISKS.
• Control of hazards through injury prevention and
damage control.

CONTROL
To regulate or restrain.
RISK

degree of exposure or chances of exposure to

Risk Assessment Matrix
 WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?
 It is difficult to begin assessing every location, job title, or job
task. The most logical place to begin is to review your
accident and illness reports.
• Is there a work area that seems to have more accidents and
injuries than others?
• Is there a type of injury that seems to occur more frequently
than others?
 If injury and illness reports do not point you towards a place to
begin, consider beginning with:
• Close calls or near misses
• New tasks or positions
• Tasks that have changed
• Non-routine jobs
• Routine jobs
 WORK AREA ASSESSMENT

 After you have chosen a place to start, perform a walk-through of

the work area, looking for hazards as indicated in this training.

Tip: Involve employees in this

process to gain valuable input!

Remember to look for "potential" hazards as

well. Hazards which are likely to occur.
 Hazard Identification

• MSDS
• Knowledge of work process
• Task analyses and procedures
• Professional assistance
• Inspections
• Occupational health hazard surveys
• Past experiences
• Accident/Incident investigation reports
• First aid medical reports
 HIERARCHY OF CONTROL
Control: the measures we take to eliminate
or reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Hierarchy of Control: The order in which controls
should be considered when selecting methods of
controlling a risk.

 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS

• Engineering Controls
Management has a responsibility to provide engineering
controls to reduce or eliminate hazards
• Administrative Control

to perform a specific job task

• Protective Equipment
Employers must protect employees from workplace hazards
such as machines, hazardous substances, and dangerous work
procedures that can cause injury
 CONCLUSION
S - Search for hazards Hazard identification, risk assessment, control and

land sliding, falling objects, etc.
7. Temporary site offices are braced and lashed securely to ensure minimum damage.
8. Existing and temporary drainage systems are clear.
9. Upon completion of all temporary protection work, all remaining workers shall be instructed and arranged
to leave the site.
10. Immediately after complete evacuation of all site workers, the main power supply switch is to be shut off.

injuries and fatalities are caused by falling debris.
 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE IN CASE OF EARTHQUAKE
• Here are some precautionary measures during and after the occurrence of an
earthquake.
