SAFETY AND HEALTH

Safety and health is an area concerned with protecting the safety, health
and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all
occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work
environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family
members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other
members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment.
The average person finds it difficult to assess risks and that is why work
practices need to be regulated.

Safety in the workplace is critical to the success of your business, no matter

what size it is. As a business owner you have responsibilities regarding
health and safety in your workplace. Even if you don’t have any employees,
you must ensure that your business doesn’t create health and safety
problems for your customers and the general public.

Knowing and understanding the Occupational Health and Safety laws can
help you avoid the unnecessary costs and damage to your business caused
by workplace injury and illness.
SAFETY AND HEALTH

There are many examples of dangerous activities at your workplace, such

as welding without goggles, working at a construction site without the
protection of a hard hat, working in noisy environments without ear plugs
or mufflers, working in production with different possibly hazardous
materials without protective gloves and/or clothes, smoking near
inflammable substances…

There are different risky or hazardous situations, such as: combustion,

contamination, dust, the possibility of explosion, poisonous fumes, gas
leakages, toxic vapors, the danger of electrical shock … which can all have
effects on us and can cause lethal or very serious damage to our body (for
example: vomiting, dizziness, burns, birth defects, cancer, genetic damage).
SAFETY AND HEALTH

All around risky environments or materials there are warning signs that
people have to take seriously.

Task: Try to find some other warning signs and explain

them.
