  Been working in the same industry for some time.
 Already completed training in this area.

If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a

particular skill or skills, talk to him/her about having them formally
recognized so you won’t have to do the same training again. If you have
qualifications or Certificates of Competency from previous trainings, show
them to your trainer. If the skills you acquired are still relevant to this
module, they may become part of the evidence you can present for RPL

A Trainee Record Book (TRB) is given to you to record important dates,

jobs undertaken and other workplace events that will assist you in providing
further details to your trainer/assessor. A Record of Achievement/Progress
Chart is also provided to your trainer to complete/accomplish once you have
to complete the module. This will show your own progress.

DIRECTION FOR USE OF THE CBLM

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required

competency: Practicing Occupational Health and Safety Procedures. This
will be the source of information for you to acquire the knowledge and skills
in this particular module with minimum supervision or help from your
trainer. With the aid of this material, you will acquire the competency
independently and at your own pace.

Talk to your trainer and agree on how you will both organize the
training of this unit. Read through the module carefully. It is divided into
sections which covers all the skills and knowledge you need to successfully
complete in this module.

Work through all the information sheets and complete the activities in

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this module, the trainees will be able to:

1. Identify and explain the hazards and risks in the workplace.

2. Define Hazard
3. Learn the different types and methods of hazards.

The observance of rules keeps workers healthy and safeguards their

get sick or injured, which will improve how well they do their jobs. Everyone
can feel more at ease at work as a result of the more positive environment it
fosters.

In this lesson you will be introduced to the PRACTICE OCCUPATIONAL

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES will be helpful in doing electrical
installation. You may need a copy of Training Regulation n(TR) and
competency-based curriculum (CBC) of your qualification to better

PRACTICE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES

It is a multidisciplinary practice that deals with all aspects of workplace

health and safety with a strong emphasis on preventing hazards.

Unit of Competency

Together all the parts of unit of competency:

Determine a work activity
Help the trainer determine the learner's level of competency

Each part of the unit of competency was written with the purpose of

Hazards

A hazard is a dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or

condition. It may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or
environmental damage. (Hazard Definitions | IFRC, 2021)

Types of Hazards

Hazards are classified into five different types:

• Physical
Anything that poses a risk to a person's physical safety is considered a
physical hazard. Physical risks can be found in our surroundings as well as
at work, including factories, offices, and construction sites. (Physical Hazard
Examples: What You Need to Know | SafetyCulture, 2023)

• Mechanical and/or electrical

Machinery, its parts, tools, objects and materials processed or used in
the work process are often a source of mechanical hazards leading to injuries.
Machinery, along with power supply systems, can also create electrical
hazards, leading to severe or fatal accidents. (Mechanical and Electrical
Hazards, n.d.)

• Chemical
Using chemicals has allowed humanity to improve work processes and
manufacture innovative products and technologies that would unlikely be
achieved without them. But chemicals are often flammable, toxic, corrosive,
and combustible; creating workplace and environmental hazards that must
be managed and controlled. (Hampton, 2023)

• Biological
Biological hazards are organic substances that present a threat to the
health of people and other living organisms. (Biological Hazards, 2022)

 Psychosocial environment
 Workplace bullying, aggression, harassment, sexual harassment and
gendered violence, discrimination or other unreasonable behavior by
colleagues, supervisors or clients.

Note that some physical and chemical hazards can lead to fire,
explosion and other safety hazards.

Methods for Identifying Hazards

Collect Existing Information About Workplace

Hazards
 Injury and illness records look over your workers' compensation data
and check the frequency, mechanism, and agency of injuries as well as
the cost to the company. The organization can be informed of potential
risks by analyzing these statistics.

 Staying informed on trends and developments in workplace health and

safety, for example via the internet or OHS publications.

 Reviewing the potential impact of new work practices or equipment

introduced into the workplace in line with legislative requirements.

 Doing walk-through surveys, inspections or safety audits in the

workplace to evaluate the organization’s health and safety system.

 Considering OHS implications when analyzing work processes.

 Investigating workplace incidents and `near hits' reports in some cases

there may be more than one hazard contributing to an incident.

 Getting feedback from employees can often provide valuable

information about hazards, because they have hands-on experience in
their work area.

 Consulting with employees, health and safety representatives and OHS

Committee members.

 Benchmarking against or liaising with similar workplaces.
