Definition of Terms:
This portion gives you a list of words and phrases that you will encounter as you go through with
the lesson here. This will help you understand more the concept of the topic that you will learn in
this module.
 Disaster- A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of
a community or society and causes human, material, economic and environmental losses
that could cripple the community or society in its ability to cope with the situation using its
own strength and resources. Though often caused by nature, disasters can also be possible
through human neglect and ignorance.
 Earthquake- An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the earth's
crust that creates seismic waves. At the earth's surface, earthquake may manifest through a
shaking or displacement of the ground. Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead
to loss of life and destruction of property.
 Fire- A fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of
combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. At a certain point in the
combustion reaction called the ignition point, flames are produced.
 Fire exit- A Fire exit is an emergency exit in a structure that is a special exit for emergency
case like fire. The fire exit provides an alternative route if the regular exit is blocked by fire,
etc. The combined use of regular and special exits is allowed for faster evacuation.
 Fire extinguisher – A Fire extinguisher is a portable device that discharges a jet of water,
foam, gas, or other material to extinguish a fire.
 Fire hydrant- A fire hydrant is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water
supply. It is a component of active fire protection.
 Fire Sprinkler- A fire sprinkler system is a simple but key active component of a domestic
or commercial building fire protection system. Installed in ceiling or side walls in which the
system consists of a water supply, a water distribution piping system, and sprinkler heads.
  Flood- A flood is an overflow of water that submerges or covers the land that is usually dry.
In the sense of “flowing water”, the word may also be applied to the overflow or large
amount of water in an area.
 Harm- Harm refers to physical injury that may happen accidentally or deliberately to a
person afflicted or inflected.
 Hazard - A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on
something or someone. The CSA Z1002 Standard "Occupational Health and Safety -
Hazard Identification and Elimination and Risk Assessment and Control" uses the following
terms: Harm - physical injury or damage to health.
 Smoke detector- A Smoke detector is a fire-protection device that automatically detects
and gives a warning on the presence of smoke.
 Tsunami – A Tsunami refers to a long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine
landslide, or other disturbance.
 Typhoon - A typhoon is a type of large storm that sometimes carries violent, strong, circular
or spiral winds causing severe destruction or damages to mankind and to many areas and
properties.

Occupational Health and Safety

What is safety? Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected from
harm or other non-desirable outcomes. Safety can also refer to the control of recognized hazards in order
to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
Occupational safety and health (OSH), also commonly referred to as health and safety, occupational
health and safety (OHS), occupational health or occupational safety, is a multidisciplinary field concerned
with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work. These terms also refer to the goals of this field, so
their use in the sense of this article was originally an abbreviation of occupational safety and health
program/department etc.
The goal of an occupational safety and health program is to foster a safe and healthy work environment.
OSH may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and many others who might be
affected by the workplace environment.
In common-law jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take reasonable care of the safety of
their employees. Statute law may, in addition, impose other general duties, introduce specific duties, and
create government bodies with powers to regulate workplace safety issues: details of this vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Health and Safety Policy

Your Company is committed to the goal of providing and maintaining a healthy and safe working
environment, with a view to continuous improvement. This goal is only achievable by adherence to
established objectives striving to exceed all obligations under applicable legislation, and by fostering an
enthusiastic commitment to health, safety and the environment within Your Company personnel,

Occupational Health and Safety in Workplaces

Both the workers and the employers have duties and responsibilities as well as rights in keeping and
maintaining occupational health and safety in the workplace.

Your Duties as Worker and Your Occupational Health and Safety

One of your most important responsibilities is to protect your Health and Safety as well as that of your co-
workers. This booklet will discuss some of your duties under the occupational Health and Safety legislation
and help you make your workplace safer and healthier.

What the law requires

Workplaces under the jurisdiction are governed by your provincial legislation. The legislation places duties
on owners, employers, workers, suppliers, and on the self-employed and even on the contractors, to
establish and maintain safe and healthy working conditions. The legislation is administered by your
provincial legislation. Your officials are responsible for monitoring compliance.

Duties of Your Employer

Your employer is responsible for providing you with safe and healthy working conditions. This
includes a duty to protect you from violence, discrimination, and harassment. You must cooperate
with your employer in making your workplace safe and healthy.

You’re Responsibilities
You must also comply with the legislation. You have responsibilities to:
 Protect your own Health and Safety and that of your co-workers.
 Do not initiate or participate in the harassment of another worker; and
 Co-operate with your supervisor and anyone else with duties under the legislation.

You’re Rights
The legislation gives your three rights:
1. The right to know the hazards at work and how to control them.
2. The right to participate in Occupational Health and Safety; and
3. The right to refuse work which you believe to be unusually dangerous. You must not be
punished for using these rights. An employer can be required to legally justify any action taken
against a worker who is active in Health and Safety.

You’re Right to Know

The Act requires your employer to provide you with all the information you need, to control the
hazards you face at work. For example, chemicals at the workplace must be listed. You are
entitled to review this list. Your employer must train you to safely handle the chemicals you will
work with. If you are inexperienced, you must receive an orientation which includes;

You’re Right to Know

The Act requires your employer to provide you with all the information you need, to control the
hazards you face at work. For example, chemicals at the workplace must be listed. You are
entitled to review this list. Your employer must train you to safely handle the chemicals you will
work with. If you are inexperienced, you must receive an orientation which includes;

Keep yourself knowledgeable and informed about the following:

 First aid facilities
 Prohibited or restricted areas
 Workplace hazards; and
 Any other information you should know
You must also be supervised closely by a competent supervisor.

You’re Right to Participate

You have the right to become involved in occupational Health and Safety. The legislation
encourages employers and workers to work together to maintain a healthy and safe workplace.
Employers at workplaces with (ten or more workers- consult your provincial act) must set up an
occupational health committee of employer and worker representatives.

Committees Have Duties to:

 Regularly inspect the workplace.
 Conduct accident investigations.
 Deal with the Health and Safety concerns of employees.
 Investigate refusals to work.
 Meet at least (four times a year – consult your provincial act); and return minutes of each
meeting to the Division.
 Committee members are entitled to five days (consult your provincial legislation) of unpaid
educational leave each year to take occupational Health and Safety courses. They may attend
courses provided by the Division without loss of pay or benefits.

Certain types of workplaces with less than (ten employees – consult your provincial act) must
have a worker Health and Safety representative. The representative must be selected by the
workers at the workplace. He or she has many of the responsibilities of an occupational health
committee.

You’re Right to Refuse

You have the right to refuse to do work which you believe is unusually dangerous. The unusual
danger may be to you or to anyone else. An unusual danger could include such things as:
o a danger which is not normal for your occupation or the job
o a danger under which you would not normally carry out your job; and/or
o a situation for which you are not properly trained, equipped, or experienced.

To exercise this right, use the following guidelines.

Once you believe that the work you have been asked to do is unusually dangerous, you
should inform your supervisor. Make sure that the supervisor understands that you are refusing to
do the disputed job for health and safety reasons. Work with the supervisor to attempt to resolve
the problem.
If the problem cannot be resolved by the supervisor to your satisfaction, and no health
worker and safety representative or occupational health committee exists at the workplace, your
supervisor should call the Division and ask for advice. You also have the right to contact the
Division at any time.
The supervisor has the right to assign you to other work (at no loss in pay or benefits) until
the matter is resolved. Do not leave the site without the permission of your employer.
1. If a committee exists at the workplace, contact your local representative and ask for help.
Your supervisor should contact the co-chairpersons and ask them to investigate. They will try to
resolve the matter. If they cannot resolve the matter to your satisfaction, they will convene for an
emergency committee meeting. The committee will investigate and prepare a report on the refusal.
WORKPLACE HAZARD REPORTING
All hazards that are found in the workplace should be
reported immediately to the supervisor, the safety
department or management. This is a standard practice
that should exist in any workplace and every employee
should be made aware that this is the appropriate action to
take should they encounter any hazard or potential hazard
that they discover. However, many employees may feel
(justified or not) that the hazards they encounter,
sometimes on a daily basis, are just how things are and
reporting them is not necessary. Designing, setting up and
communicating a Hazard Reporting Program is a good
idea to any business to help avoid this potentially
dangerous attitude. Implementing a Hazard Reporting Program will help ensure that your
workplace is safer for your employees and reduce costly incidents or business interruptions.
All employees should be trained in hazard recognition and avoidance. Hazard Reporting is
a critical part of this training so that employees know exactly what to do when they encounter a
hazard they can’t immediately correct. Don’t get overwhelmed by the word “training” because you
can design the training to be as simple as you need for your specific team. Depending on the
types of hazards your employees might encounter, this training could be a mandatory all-day in-
person training session for high-hazard jobs, or on- the-job training led by a competent supervisor,
or even a 30-minute safety meeting. For low-hazard jobs, at least consider an annual online
training or email reminder so employees understand hazard reporting is not only acceptable but
also expected.

What should I do if I notice a hazard?

You should report it immediately to your supervisor. You do not need to wait for an
inspection team to come by. In fact, health and safety legislation requires employees to report
hazards to their supervisor.
The immediate hazard reporting process allows employees to report hazardous conditions
or practices as they notice them. This procedure is allowed for prompt reporting and subsequent
corrective action without waiting for the next round of regular inspections.
Hazards can be reported verbally or by filling out a simple form available at bulletin boards
or other conspicuous places. The following is an example of such a form.

Fire safety precautions

Good fire safety practice that you should follow includes:
 Keeping your workplace tidy and having a good standard of housekeeping.
 Regularly removing combustible waste, including accumulations of dust.
 Keeping ignition sources away from combustible material or flammable liquids and gases.
 Keeping use of flammable liquids to a minimum and closing containers when not in use.
 Emergency planning
You need to be prepared for an emergency, such as a fire. An emergency plan should
clearly explain what to do in the event of an emergency. It should also describe responsibilities of
key employees and what they need to do.
You should create a written evacuation procedure. This procedure should explain what
needs to happen in the event of a fire alarm being raised. For example, the location of fire alarm
call points, extinguishers, exits and details of nominated persons along with their areas of
responsibility.
It's very important that you train your employees. Ensure that they are familiar with the
emergency plan. You should then test the arrangements in the plan regularly.
You should also carry out a fire drill at least twice a year. The drill will help to ensure that
the plan works, and that people can follow it. You should correct any problems found during the
drill.
Fire alarms and detectors
You need to provide a method for detecting a fire quickly and raising the alarm. The
warning system, when it has been set off from any point, should be clearly heard throughout the
premises. It should provide enough warning for people to evacuate the building safely.
Additionally, you should provide clear instructions or notices showing people how to operate
the warning system, and how to respond to it.
It's important that all fire safety measures are maintained and regularly tested. You should
test your fire alarms weekly.
Escape routes
All escape routes must be easily identifiable, with instructions about the means of escape
displayed. You also need to provide instructions and training for your employees on how to escape
in the event of an emergency.
Evacuation of disabled people
You need to ensure that there are enough exits through the building, and that they are in
the right places. This will allow you to guarantee that, in the event of a fire anywhere in the
building, there is at least one free route available.
The type and size of exits will depend on the number of people likely to use them in the
event of an evacuation. Escape routes must be adequately illuminated and free of any obstacles.
You should do daily checks to ensure this.

Evacuation of disabled people

You need to decide to ensure the safe evacuation of everybody in your premises.
Your fire risk assessment should identify groups of people at risk, taking particular care of
vulnerable groups or individuals such as: children, the elderly, and the people with disabilities.
To help identify their needs, you should create personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEP)
when required. The PEEPs should be tailored to the individual and should give clear explanations
of the evacuation procedure.
For premises where it is not known who could visit, such as hotels, standard PEEPs can be
created. These are procedures to assist people with disabilities. Employees should be trained on
how to put PEEPs into practice in the event of an emergency.
Any fire needs:
 Oxygen
 Fuel
 Heat

Fire Extinguisher
Different fire extinguishers will remove one of these elements to stop it.
When deciding ways of fighting fires, you need to decide on the type of fire extinguisher and where
they should be located. This will guarantee that they are suitable for the type of fire that could
occur, and with sufficient capacity for the fire risks at the premises.
They should be located at obvious places, and you should highlight their location. Fire
extinguishers should be close to fire hazards, and you need to make sure that people can access
them without being exposed to any risk. People that are likely to use fire extinguishers should
receive training on how to use them. You need to ensure that fire extinguishers are serviced
annually.
