Abstract
The Occupational & safety health management &Workers productivity: the relationship &
effect.
OshaOSHA
The initials are OSHA OCCUPATIONALSAFETY &HEALTHADMINISTRATION in
the US Department of Labor, which is the body responsible for issuing occupational safety
.and health legislation and its standard specifications
Purpose of OSHA:-
According to the legislation (OSH ACT of 1970. In 1971, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) was established in the US Department of Labor for the
following reasons:
Encouraging workers and employers to reduce work risks and implement
occupational safety and health programs.
Maintaining permanent records to follow up on occupational injuries and
diseases resulting from work.
Preparing training programs to increase awareness of occupational safety and
health matters.
Preparing legislation and programs for occupational safety and health that
must be implemented in all work sites.
Determine the responsibilities and duties of both employees and employers
with regard to occupational safety and health.
Hazards in the workplace need to be defined and explained to alert workers to the danger
.resulting from them. This is done using distinctive colors and distinctive indicative signs
There is many legislation in this regard, including the legislation of the American
Occupational Safety and Health AdministrationOSHA as well as the American National
Standards Institute
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
The distinctive colors indicate and identify the type of danger and thus help the worker
.recognize the degree of danger, which leads to reducing the possibility of injury

the purpose
Providing a full description of personal protective equipment, the extent of its importance
in maintaining the safety of workers, the correct way to use and maintain it, and how to
choose the appropriate device or equipment to suit the type of risks to which the person is
exposed.
General Instructions
1- The type of hazards in the workplace must be determined first, and then the
protective equipment to be used must be determined. This equipment is provided
without any financial cost to the workers.
2- Personal protective equipment approved by local authorities and compatible with...
must be usedAmerican National Safety Institute (ANSI)
3- Personal protective safety equipment must be worn in a way that is appropriate for
the person using itProperly Fitting.
4- A medical examination must be conducted for workers whose work requires
employment
5- Respirators, and this examination is repeated annually.
6- All workers who are required to use personal protective equipment must be trained
on the correct way to use this equipment by those directly responsible for them.
7- If personal protective equipment is not used, it is placed in plastic bags and kept in a
clean condition.

3- Ear Protection
All employees who work in places with loud noises of more than85 decibels
Wearing ear protection equipment so that they are not exposed to a gradual
loss of their hearing sensitivity over the long period of exposure to this noise,
until they may reach a point where they lose their hearing permanently.
The official in the Occupational Safety and Health Department measures the
degree of noise in the workplace, and based on the measurement results, the
appropriate equipment for ear protection is chosen.

Since the first two types (water and foam) are not widespread, we will shed light on the
.other types (powder, carbon dioxide, halon)
Powder extinguishers -1
Powder extinguishers are used, depending on the type of powder
inside, to extinguish fires that arise in solid materials(A), and liquids
and gases (B) as well as in extinguishing fires that arise in electrical
appliances and equipment (C). The types of fires that are suitable for
extinguishing are usually indicated on the extinguisher. It is not
preferable to use powder extinguishers in extinguishing fires that
arise in sensitive electrical devices such as computers, as they
.Powder particles may cause damage to these devices
Powder extinguishers extinguish fires by surrounding the burning fuel with a layer of
powder that separates the fuel from the oxygen in the air. It also interferes with the chain
chemical reaction and absorbs free radicals.Free Radicals on the roof
There are two types of powder extinguishers: air-compressed powder extinguishers and
compressed powder extinguishers using a carbon dioxide cylinder. In this lecture, we will
..discuss the air-compressed type as it is the most common

Halloween extinguishers
Fill the extinguisher with halon(BCF) is a vaporous substance that has a great ability to
extinguish fires. It is pressurized with nitrogen until the indicator in the pressure watch
installed on the extinguisher indicates green. When used, the safety screw is pulled and the
operating handle is pressed, and the nitrogen gas pushes the halon substance out of the
extinguisher to A distance that may reach 6 meters or more, and the halon reacts with the
free cracks that form the chemical chain reaction of the fire and extinguishes it
.immediately
Because halon is one of the substances that has a harmful effect on the ozone layer, which
protects us from the danger of ultraviolet rays from the sun, its use has been stopped, and
..currently alternative materials that are not harmful to the ozone are used
This is done by either covering the fire with foam or using carbon dioxide gas, which
..replaces the oxygen, as well as using halon or powder

Engulfment Hazards
Flammability risks
- Flammable materials that may be present in enclosed spaces are:
petroleum materials - methane - hydrogen sulfide - carbon
monoxide gas...
- The lowest flammability range is the lowest mixing ratio between
the vapor of the burning substance and the air. The highest
flammability range is the highest mixing ratio between the vapor
of the burning substance and the air.
- OSHA instructions stipulate that the minimum flammable range
in enclosed spaces must not exceed10%.
Poisonous gases:
The most dangerous toxic gases that may be present in enclosed
spaces are: hydrogen sulfide gas, carbon monoxide gas.
The permissible concentration of exposure to hydrogen sulfide
gas is:10 parts per million (10 ppm).
The permissible concentration of exposure to carbon monoxide
is:35 parts per million (35 ppm).

Occupational healthIndustrial Hygiene
introduction:
Occupational health is the science that relates to the identification, evaluation and control of
various working conditions that may lead to injury to workers and expose their health to
danger.
1- IdentifyRecognition:
Knowing and understanding the different types of risks in the work
environment and the impact of these risks on the health of workers.
Business risks are divided into four groups:
Chemical hazards
Natural hazards
Biological risks
Engineering risks
1. Chemical hazards:
Most health risks result from inhaling chemical substances in the
form of fumes, gases, dust, smoke, or spray, or from skin contact
with these substances.
The degree of danger of exposure to chemicals depends on the
degree of concentration of the substance and the duration of
exposure to it.
Chemicals enter the human body through four ways:
*-InhalationInhalation
*-AbsorptionAbsorption
*-SwallowingIngestion
*-Wrong injectionAccidental Injection
It is considered inhalationInhalation is the fastest way for harmful
chemicals to enter the human body.
Dust
Solid materials produced from the processes of breaking down
and grinding organic and inorganic materials.
The size of the dust ranges from0.1 micron up to 25 microns.
Dust diameter10 microns or more is called non-respirable dust
Fumes
Condensation occurs as a result of solids being exposed to evaporation.
Very fine and has a diameter of less than1 micron.
Vapors and gases of this type are not considered fumes
It results from welding processes as a result of the fusion of metals
Figure-21
Spray
They are droplets of liquids suspended in the air and result from the
condensation of vapors resulting from liquids, examples of which are acid
spray in electroplating and paint spraying operations.
Figure-22
Fiber
Solid materials whose length is several times greater than their diameter, such
as asbestos and fiberglass fibres.
To calculate the average concentration of this substance during the eight hours:
150
PEL – TWA = -------------------------------------------------- = 81.25
8
C- Biological risks
It arises from bacteria and viruses and their entry into the body, and in the case
of wounds in the body, it helps them enter.
The workers most exposed to biological hazards include workers in
laboratories, nutrition, and farms
2-Evaluation
After identifying the risks present in the work environment, these risks are
evaluated and the degree of their danger to the health of workers as a result of
exposure to them is determined.
The means of control that actually exist are also evaluated and whether they
are sufficient or not.
Samples are taken, analyzed and compared to standard specifications.
3-Control
The control pyramid system is followed in descending order to control and control these
risks in the following order:
1- Removal Elimination
2- CompensationSubstitution
3- Insulation Isolation
4- Engineering control Engineering Control
5- Administrative controlAdministration Control
6- Use personal protective equipment Use PPE
Discussion
Accumulation of damaged equipment, devices and pipes.1
In most buildings (emergency) there is no emergency door -2
In the ceilings of most buildings (sensor) there are no sensing systems -3
4- Poor road paving and insufficient lighting in some places in the units
In case of specific fires (assembly point)5- Non-existence
6- The abundance of weeds and their abundance in the summer, which causes fire
disasters as a result of not using appropriate pesticides to reduce their growth.
The large number of loose dogs inside the site -7
Lack of safety equipment supplies -8
Some modeling points are not subject to safety and security standards -9
10- Lack of operational staff, such that the operator rotates between more than one
unit on the same day to compensate for the shortage
Solutions
Dispose of damaged equipment and ensure that damaged materials do not
accumulate.1
Establish an emergency exit for each building -2
Place sensors in the ceilings of all buildings and monitor their operation -3
periodically
Paving roads and improving lighting -4
Use suitable pesticides to prevent weed growth -5
Disposal of dogs inside the sites by the Environment Department -6
Use a specific assembly point and conduct a virtual fire to monitor the accuracy -7
of the assembly
Providing adequate and high-quality safety supplies -8
Reconsider some points in a way that does not conflict with safety requirements -9
Providing sufficient staff and addressing the shortage in order to prevent -10
