1. METHODOLOGY Hazard Risk Assessment We used ‘Risk Analysis’ to identify the chemical hazard and risk that can possibly be occurred in Sulfuric Acid Manufacturing Industry. We used this method because it is convenient to identify the severity and the frequency of the hazard from the visual representation (Risk Assessment Matrix). Also, after we completed performing the chemical hazards assessment, we can identify the severity scale from the result and subsequently determine and establish the suitable, appropriate ways to eliminate or lessen the hazards form occurring in the particular industry according to priority. Internet We used Internet to find additional information about this project, specifically for the industry that we have chosen …show more content…
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Given that all employees that face these chemical hazards are trained to understand the specific hazards, trained in safety related work practices, trained in procedural necessities for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well as trained to comprehend the relationship between the dangers and conceivable injuries. • Respirators However, there are a few special cases where respirators may be utilised to control the level of exposure. Respirators may be utilised when engineering and work practice controls are not actually plausible such as when such controls are in the procedure of being implemented or when they fall flat to be supplemented. Other than that, keep the surroundings at a lower moisture content to prevent formation of sulphuric acid in the workspace. • Dose Meter A meter that is used to check the amount of exposure to sulphuric substances in the surroundings. • Daily Check-Ups A daily routine at the end of every work shift should be conducted in order to check the level of exposure of the employees after one full work shift and to calculate the remainder of time the employees are able to work as according to the permissible exposure limits (PEL) set by the OSHA standard. …show more content…
From the hazards, we have classified them using the “Risk Analysis” method which helped us to conduct proper prevention controls according to the severity and frequency of the occurrence. After conducting this report, we can now assess these hazards as well as implement appropriate prevention methods for the stated hazards, and also further improvise on these preventative measures in order to improve productivity as according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Under work health and safety laws workers and other people at our workplace must take reasonable care that they do not adversely affect
Then, questions, mostly opened-ended and a few closed- ended, will be utilize to assess Peter: Are you or your family experiencing homelessness or food insecurity ended, will become more specific: 1. On a scale of 5-10, 10 being the highest, are your physical capabilities 2. 2. What medication (s) was prescribed by the clinic’s PCP? Why do you think it was prescribed?
The objective of the hazard identification is to identify the presence of potential hazards that are posed during operation of the plant, then suggest corresponding control measures to reduce risk or mitigate impacts on work force. Main hazards that we take into consideration are chemical hazards, electrical hazards, vibration and noise related hazards. 6.2.1 Chemical hazards The chemical hazards are those posed by chemical components and products used in the process. The main hazards associated with the process are that of natural gas or carbon dioxide leakage, high temperature and pressure steam, and potassium carbonate.
Over 1 million coal miners of the 1902 era did not receive the fair compensation for their tiring and difficult labor. The miners believed that they deserved the right to have a say in their working conditions, health and safety issues, their working hours and their rates of pay. Miners had seen a constant reduction in wages over several years but their rents had stayed the same. The United Mine Workers demanded better benefits but the government was reluctant. A series of strikes were sure to come about.
These organisms might be fungus, viruses, or bacteria. Physical hazards are a broad range of hazards and include noise, vibration, temperature and more. There are multitudes of controls for physical hazards. The final hazard encompasses ergonomic hazards. Ergonomics includes repetitious movements, poorly set up work stations, and over using of body parts.
In order to control the power an employer withholds, the government designed federal and local organizations similar to OSHA. The series of rules and regulations put in place by these organizations help businesses maintain safe working conditions and foster trust in employer-employee relationships. For those who don’t follow the rules and regulations placed, OSHA has the federal right to fine the business or shut it down. Usually, per OSHA’s standards, businesses should have a brief meeting describing the hazards that
A firefighter wears personal protective equipment (PPE), often referred to as turnouts or bunker gear. These uniforms and helmets, along with their steel-toed insulated boots, protect firefighters from the extreme heats they can face. Police are easily recognized by their uniforms, which often say police. Their PPE includes wearing a bullet proof vest and a duty belt filled with the numerous tools to effectively do their job. These duty belts tools have everything from their department issued weapon, cuffs, radio, and more than one non-lethal tool.
Appropriate and safe working equipment ? A safe place to work ? Safe systems of work to help prevent ill health and accidents and policies and procedures ? A system to discuss matters of health and safety with employees. Other workers/colleagues
The first legislation I will discuss is ‘Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) regulations (2002)’ which is used to reduce the risk of injury whilst doing an activity. It can be used in any line of work, and you have to consider safety factors about it. When using personal protective equipment, they must check if it is suitable for use, if it offers the right protection for the user, or if it needs replacing, because if it needs replacing then it is not fit for purpose. The main areas where people use PPE is on the sports field or in a building site. For example a builder, as shown in the diagram below, is wearing a helmet to protect his head, goggles to prevent any dangerous objects getting in his eyes, gloves so his hands don’t get hurt when
It is also important to mention that PPE should only be used as a last resort and all workers must always wear appropriate PPE when required in the workshop. The Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations similarly cover a wide range of basic health, safety and welfare issues and apply to most workplaces. The document includes the regulations in full, as well as the approved code of practice and guidance.
P1 Electrical workshop - Electrical apprenticeship workshop Here I will be explaining the relevant legislation and regulations applicable to an electrical apprenticeship workshop. Electricity at Work Regulations (EAWR) 1989 this is relevant to electrical apprenticeship workshop as the employer will have to give training/instructions to the apprentice about the electrical safety regulations also the employer will need to make sure that there will need to be electrical risk assessment. Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 this regulation is relevant to Electrical apprenticeship workshop as this is essential for all employers to provide the workers with PPE therefore in the electrical workshop the employer will need to provide the apprentice workers with PPE that is made to be worn in an electrical workshop.
Uniform requirements are also needed to provide safety to the staffs themselves such as loose pants in in case of hot oil spillage and flames caught it can be quickly removed, and aprons should be worn in prepping areas. Managers should also observe and check if staffs are in good health condition to work. They have the right to exclude any staff showing signs of severe symptoms such as
We must make sure that all chemicals that we use for experiments, cleaning etc are locked away in a cupboard safely or kept high up on a shelf out of reach of the children so they don't mistake them fr flavoured drinks and swallow them. If we are working with babies it isimportant that safety gate are placed at the bottom of all stairs and at all doors so that they can't get up the stairs or jam thier fingers in the door
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 These Act inform practices that all staff the responsibility to keep themselves and other around them safe through their actions at work and they must to report any health and safety problems. Also, all staff must to follow policies and procedure when hand handing equipment and they should to work in way that puts other around them in danger. Control of substances and Hazardous to Health Regulations 1992 These regulations inform practices that cleaning materials must to be kept in a locked cupboard. Also, these regulation state that disposable gloves and aprons must to be provided for cleaning and handing chemicals.
Furthermore, staff is very intellectual and cooperative. Additionally, management gives priority to provide healthy and hygienic environment to customers and staff too. The management considers its responsibility to educate staff about the measures of Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S). Employees are also trained enough to first analyse risk, then assess risk and finally remove risk; thus, it leads to risk management. Bond defines the positive safety
