 SAFETY AND WELFARE REQUIREMENTS

Risk Assessment:

 The first step in risk assessment is identifying potential hazards in the environment or
tasks being performed. This could include physical hazards (like machinery or
chemicals), ergonomic hazards (poor workstation setup), or psychosocial hazards
(stressful work conditions).

 Once hazards are identified, the next step is to assess the level of risk associated with
each hazard. This involves considering the likelihood of an incident occurring and the
potential severity of its consequences.

Safety Equipment and Facilities:

 This involves providing essential protective gear like helmets, gloves, and goggles, as
well as establishing necessary facilities such as fire exits, first aid stations, and emergency
response equipment.

 Ensuring compliance with safety and welfare regulations involves implementing

measures to safeguard individuals' well-being, including proper training, hazard
identification, and adherence to legal standards governing workplace safety.

Equipment Safety:

 Regular checks and upkeep of equipment to ensure proper functioning and identify
potential hazards.

 Providing comprehensive training on equipment operation and establishing clear

guidelines for safe usage to mitigate risks and promote safety.

 Establishing protocols for handling equipment-related emergencies, including shutdown

procedures, evacuation plans, and emergency contact information, to ensure swift and
effective responses to potential incidents.

P a g e 3 | 14
Emergency Preparedness:

 Developing comprehensive plans outlining actions to be taken during emergencies,

including evacuation procedures, communication protocols, and assigning
responsibilities.

 Providing training to employees on emergency procedures and conducting

regular drills to ensure readiness and familiarity with protocols.

Health and Welfare:

 Ensuring individuals have access to medical services and facilities to address their health
needs.

 Providing support for mental well-being through access to counseling services or

employee assistance programs.

 Implementing initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles, such as wellness programs,

ergonomic assessments, and educational workshops on nutrition and exercise.

SAFETY RESOURCES FOR SPECIFIC OPERATIONS

Personal Protective Equipment:

 Providing the right PPE for tasks and ensuring its availability.

 Training on proper use and maintenance of PPE.

 Regularly checking and maintaining PPE for effectiveness.

Machine Safety:

 Installing safety guards, emergency stop buttons, and other protective measures on
machines to prevent accidents.

 Conducting routine maintenance procedures to ensure machines are in optimal

condition, reducing the risk of malfunctions and accidents

Fire Safety:

 Implementing measures to prevent fires and preparing for potential emergencies

through proper equipment, training, and evacuation plans.

 Ensuring swift and effective responses to fires, including evacuation procedures, fire
suppression efforts, and coordination with emergency services to minimize damage and
protect individuals.

Electric Safety:

 Practices and protocols to prevent electrical hazards, including proper installation and
maintenance of electrical systems, grounding techniques, and the use of insulated tools.

 Adherence to safety standards and regulations, such as implementing lockout/tagout

procedures and conducting regular inspections to ensure electrical safety.

Chemical Safety:

 Identifying potential hazards associated with chemicals used in operations,

including toxicity, flammability, and reactivity.

 Establishing protocols for the safe handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals to
prevent accidents, spills, and exposure.

P a g e 5 | 14
Environmental Safety:
 Implementing measures to minimize emissions and pollutants released into the
environment.

 Establishing proper disposal and recycling procedures to minimize environmental

impact.

FIRES AND FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT

 Class A Fire:
These fires involve ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, cloth,
rubber, and some plastics.

 Class B Fire:
These fires involve flammable liquids or gases, such as gasoline, oil, grease,
solvents, and propane.

 Class C Fire:
These fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as appliances, wiring,
circuit breakers, and outlets. It's important to note that water-based
extinguishing agents should not be used on Class C fires due to the risk of
electrical shock.

 Class D Fire:
These fires involve combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium,
potassium, and sodium. Specialized extinguishing agents, such as dry powder
or sand, are typically used to smother these fires.

 Class K Fire:
These fires involve cooking oils and fats, commonly found in kitchens and
restaurants. Specialized wet chemical extinguishing agents are used to
suppress these fires effectively.

HOW A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IS USED TO SMOTHER FIRES

1. Pull:
 Start by pulling the safety pin or ring located on the extinguisher's handle.
This action will break the tamper seal and allow you to discharge the
extinguisher.
2. Aim:
 Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, not at the flames. Pointing
the extinguisher at the base ensures that you're targeting the source of the
fire, which is where it needs to be extinguished.
3. Squeeze:
 Squeeze the handle or trigger to discharge the extinguishing agent.
Maintain a firm grip on the extinguisher while squeezing the handle to
ensure a steady flow of extinguishing agent.
4. Sweep:
 Sweep the nozzle or hose from side to side, covering the entire base of the
fire with the extinguishing agent. Use a sweeping motion while keeping
the extinguisher aimed at the base of the flames until the fire is completely
extinguished.

 HAZARD AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

Ergonomic hazards:

 Workplace conditions leading to musculoskeletal injuries, such as poor

workstation design and repetitive tasks.

 Mitigating these risks through ergonomic assessments and proper setup

promotes employee well-being and prevents injuries.

Fire hazards:

 Flammable Materials: These include substances such as liquids, gases, or solids

that ignite easily, increasing the risk of fire.

 Ignition Sources: These encompass factors like open flames, sparks, or hot
surfaces that can ignite flammable materials, leading to fire incidents.

Electrical hazards:
 Risks include electric shock, burns, or fires from contact with live wires or faulty circuits.

 Safety measures involve using insulated tools, implementing lockout/tagout procedures,

and wearing appropriate PPE such as insulated gloves and boots.

Mechanical Hazards:

 Mechanical hazards refer to the risk of injury from moving machinery, equipment,
or parts, including rotating machinery, conveyor belts, and mechanical presses.

 Safety measures include installing guards and barriers, implementing machine

lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance, providing adequate training on
equipment operation, and ensuring proper maintenance of machinery.

P a g e 12 | 14
Chemical hazards:

 Chemical hazards involve the potential harm caused by exposure to

hazardous substances, including toxic chemicals, gases, vapors, and dusts.

 Safety measures include conducting risk assessments to identify and control

chemical hazards, implementing proper storage and handling procedures,
providing adequate ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) such
as respirators, gloves, and goggles, and providing training on safe handling
practices and emergency response procedures in case of spills or exposure.

 FIRST-AID PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE

First-Aid Practices:
 Understanding basic first-aid principles, including assessing the situation,
ensuring scene safety, and prioritizing care based on the severity of injuries.

 Learning and applying techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),

wound care, fracture stabilization, and managing medical emergencies like
choking or allergic reactions.
