Need and techniques of health status and risk monitoring in work places.pptx
Health status and risk monitoring in workplaces is important for prevention, early disease detection, and reducing medical costs. It involves tracking worker health and risks in the work environment. Workplace health risks include injuries, diseases, lack of suitable working conditions, and safety violations. Monitoring worker health through periodic examinations and environmental monitoring helps ensure a safe and healthy workplace. It allows employers to introduce controls, evaluate health risks, and reinforce training. A complete monitoring process focuses on the worker, environment, health problems, and aims to promote a healthy work culture and increase productivity.
The document outlines health and safety training on the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. It discusses the act's requirements for employers including managing work activities safely, designing a safe workplace, and preventing risks. A 5-step process for a safer workplace is described: 1) identify hazards, 2) assess risks, 3) select controls, 4) write a safety statement, and 5) record and review. Key terms like hazards, risk assessment, control measures, and duties of employers, workers and others are defined.
Regardless to the type and nature of the job you do, occupational health and safety is an important
issue and needs a particular attention. Rates of work-related illnesses and injuries are slowly
decreasing worldwide but still they are great in number. The International Labour Organization (ILO)
reports that the number of deaths caused by occupational accidents and work related illnesses
worldwide is higher than those of war.
This document outlines the key responsibilities and concepts related to workplace health and safety (WHS) in Australia. It discusses locating relevant WHS legislation, identifying duty holders such as employers and employees, and defining their responsibilities. It also covers communicating WHS policies, conducting audits, establishing WHS committees, and ensuring the organization is committed to WHS compliance. The overall aim is to help participants understand how to establish and maintain an effective WHS management system.
The document discusses health, safety, and security in the workplace. It defines these terms and explains their importance. Several types of accidents and their causes are described. Accident prevention methods include identifying risks, safety training, inspections, and record keeping. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 established requirements for employers to ensure workplace safety. Effective safety management involves leadership, employee involvement, data analysis, motivation, and innovation. Preventive health programs aim to reduce risks and encourage healthy lifestyles.
Health and safety regulations in business aim to provide a safe work environment for employees and customers. They protect workers from unnecessary dangers and educate them on preventing injury. Unhealthy workplaces cost employers in workers' compensation and lost productivity. Regulations are enforced by OSHA, which requires employers to comply with standards and investigate complaints. Employers must correct hazards, train workers, and keep injury records. Employees have rights including filing complaints and participating in inspections.

14. Management Commitment and
Employee Involvement Go
Together!
– Top management
involvement should be
visible and have authority
and resources to
implement program
– Employee involvement in the
program and in decisions
that affect their safety and
health should be encouraged
15. Management Commitment &
Employee Involvement
– A clearly stated worksite policy should
be established and communicated with
specific goals and objectives.
– All aspects of the program should have
assigned responsibility and accountability.
– Program operations need to be reviewed
at least annually, to evaluate and make
revisions as needed.
16. Worksite Analysis
• Identify all existing hazards and
conditions that might create new
hazards
• An efficient program includes actively
analyzing the work and the worksite
to anticipate and prevent harmful
occurrences
17. Hazard Prevention and Control
• Triggered by a determination that a hazard or
potential hazard exists.
– Where feasible, prevent hazards by effective
design of job or job site.
– Where elimination is not feasible, control hazards
to prevent unsafe and unhealthful exposure.
– Elimination or control must be accomplished in a
timely manner.
18. Safety and Health Training
• Address the safety and health responsibilities
of all personnel.
• Ensure that all employees understand the
hazards to which they may be exposed and
how to prevent harm to themselves and
others.
• Ensure that managers understand their safety
and health responsibilities.
19. What standards or regulations exist
for the hazards you identified?

Workers have the right to review the
current log, as well as the logs stored for
the past 5 years.
Workers also have the right to view the
annually posted summary of the injuries
and illnesses (OSHA 300A).
Recordkeeping

classify work-related
injuries and illnesses
and severity of each
case.
