IMPORTANCE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES

I. Learning Competency with code - Importance of Occupational Health and Safety
Procedures. TLE_HECK7/8OHSP-0h-8

II. Learning Objectives:

1. Identify Occupational Health and Safety Procedures needed in the kitchen.
2. Make a poster slogan on OHSP.
3. Appreciate the importance of Occupational Health and Safety procedure.

III. Background Information

Occupational health and safety procedure is a planned system of working to prevent
illness and injury at where you work. In doing so, one must identify hazard and risk in the
workplace. As they say , “Safety is not something that can happen on its own by accident.
You need to work towards it with the right measures, tools and mindset.”
Hazard – a situation in the workplace that has a potential to harm the health and safety of
people or to damage equipment.
Risk – A situation that includes exposure to danger.
TYPES OF HAZARDS IN THE WORKPLACE
1. Biological - Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that
can cause adverse health impacts. For example, mold, blood and other bodily fluids,
harmful plants, sewage, dust and vermin.
2. Chemical. Chemical hazards are hazardous substances that can cause harm.
These hazards can result in both health and physical impacts, such as skin irritation,
respiratory system irritation, blindness, corrosion and explosions.
3. Physical. Physical hazards are environmental factors that can harm an employee
without necessarily touching them, including heights, noise, radiation and
pressure.4.
4. Ergonomic. Ergonomic hazards are a result of physical factors that can result in
musculoskeletal injuries. For example, a poor workstation setup in an office, poor
posture and manual handling.
5. Psychosocial. Psychosocial hazards include those that can have an adverse effect
on an employee’s mental health or wellbeing. For example, sexual harassment,
victimisation, stress and workplace violence.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES
Importance
There are many employees who doesn’t bother
about their surrounding hazard. But it is important
to observe your co-employees working
circumstances. Once you get to know about the
particular hazards that occur at your workplace,
then it will help you in reducing the risk and allow
you to take the precautionary steps.
Most of the employees are not fit and healthy
because of their busy schedule, which includes
long working hours, work-pressure and co-workers
or with the boss of the organization. And, all these
can lead to some illness or depression to the
workers. Also, this not only affect their
professional life but also creates the nuisance in
their personal lives too. So, instead waiting to get
unfit, it is better that you start taking care of your
health, by taking regular breaks, sit in an
appropriate posture and appropriate diet. It will be
better for you to schedule your work accordingly
and manage the things to reduce your workplace
stress.
Take appropriate precautions while using
machinery or any other tool, instead of taking any
shortcuts. Taking shortcuts is one of the biggest
reason behind workplace loss. It’s a biggest safety
risk to use scaffolding as a ladder or one tool
instead of another for a particular job. So it is
always recommended to use the correct tools and
reduce the opportunity of workplace injury.
In case there is an emergency, you will need quick
access to the exits. It is also advised to keep clear
usage of equipment shutoffs which might stop you
from performing at emergency.
It is important that you keep updating your
 unsafe conditions
6. Use mechanical assistance
7. Stay Alert
8. Reduce workplace environment stress
supervisor about the hazards or risks occur at
workplace. They should be legally obligated to
ensure that their employees are working in a safe
environment or not. And, in case, if the employees
are not working in safe conditions, then it is the
responsibility of the supervisor to listen and
understand their condition and create safe working
environment for employees.
Whenever, you want to carry or lift up some
heavy equipment, then you should use a conveyor
belt, crank or forklift. There are lots of risks
involved, if you try to lift something which is
heavier. It can affect your weighing capability and
can lead to some muscle displacement. So make
sure that use the appropriate tools for not harming
yourself.
There are many employees who usually
compromise or ignore the alerts of advance
warning and due to this, a number of workplace
injuries or fatalities occur.
Stress to any employee or to any co-worker can
lead into depression and into concentration
problems. And the main reason includes,
extended working hours, excess of work,
insecurity of job and issues which occur at co-
workers or professionals. So instead of taking
stress on your shoulders, you should discuss it
with your supervisor and ask him/her to look after
your problem.

9. Wear Proper Protective Equipment It is essential that you wear the right protective
equipment during your fork. For instance, wear
your apron, hair net, facemasks and gloves if you
are working in the kitchen. These proper
protective equipment will prevent you from the
incidents that occur at the workplace.

10. Sit in a proper posture It is essential that you keep your posture correct
when working in a desk. You need to keep your
shoulders in line and straight back to avoid any
spine problem

11. Wear masks at all times - When you wear mask, you are protecting
others as well as yourself from viruses(like
Covid-19). Masks works best when
everyone wears one.
