HEALTH TRAINING SEMINAR

Safety Officer II
WHAT IS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
AND HEALTH?

Occupational Safety and Health is a

multidisciplinary field concerned
with SAFETY, HEALTH, and WELFARE
of people at WORK.
 HEALTH
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity.

SAFETY
State of freedom from risk, usually achieved through all measures & arrangements
set to protect workers from injury or ill health.

WELFARE
The provision of facilities to maintain the health & well being of individuals at work.
REASONS FOR MAINTAINING AND
PROMOTING GOOD STANDARDS
OF HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE
WORKPLACE?
Protect people from injury & ill health. Best
reflected by the occupational disease and
accident rate.
OSH Statistics Worldwide:

According to 2017 calculation by the

International Labour Organzation (ILO):

2.78M Fatal accidents occur at work

yearly

374M non-fatal work related injuries

and illness
Any accident or ill-health will cost both direct
and indirect losses, which could be insured or
uninsured
Society would expect:
- Safe and sound industry operations that is unlikely to
cause any harm or disaster that might affect the
community.
- Company’s responsibility and give back, outreach
safety awareness campaigns and free information to the
community.
- Sharing resources during time of need
- First aid awareness campaigns or building pedestrians
bridges or visiting schools as a sort of giving back to
society
 Describes the obligation or duty that is
enforced by a court of law, it can be a debt

OBJECTIVES:

PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO

UNDERSTAND, LEARN AND DISCUSS
BASIC CONCEPTS OF OSH TOWORDS
AN EFFECTIVE OSH IMPLEMENTATION
IN THE WORKPLACE
WHAT IS AN
ACCIDENT?
 ACCIDENTS THEORIES AND MODEL
The pure chance theory
- Every one of any given set of workers has an equal chance of being involved in
an accident.
- All accidents are treated as acts of God, and it is held that there exist no
interventions to prevent them

Human Factors theory

- Human factors theory accident causation attributes accidents to a chain of
events ultimately cause by human error. It consists of three broad factors that lead
to human error: overload, inappropriate response, and inappropriate activities.
Domino Theory – W.H. Heinrich (1931)
- 88% off all accidents are cause by unsafe acts of people, 10% by unsafe
actions and 2% by “acts of GOD”
 UNSAFE ACT

The human action that departs from a

standard job procedure or safe practice,
safety regulations or instructions.
 UNSAFE CONDITIONS
The physical or chemical property of a material,
machine or the environment which could result in
injury to a person, damage or destruction to property
or other forms of losses.

A situation that can cause and accident or injury

 UNSAFE CONDITIONS
- Wet slippery floors
- Unstable stacking of materials
- Protruding rebar's
- Live conductors without insulation
- Equipment without machine guarding
- Poor storage of combustible materials (Ex. Storage of 2,750
tons of ammonium nitrate in Beirut Lebanon 181+ death,
stocked unsafely and working in an unsafe conditions )
 UNSAFE ACT vs UNSAFE CONDITIONS
QUESTIONS ANSWER
1. Operator was using equipment without permission UNSAFE ACT
2. A worker was using defective equipment UNSAFE ACT
UNSAFE CONDITION
3. Found a faulty equipment at workplace
UNSAFE CONDITION
4. Found scaffolding without a guard rail UNSAFE ACT
5. A grinder man was using faulty equipment UNSAFE CONDITION
6. Found an open excavation without barricades
HOW TO PREVENT ACCIDENT?

Requires the promotion of safe

behaviors and maintenance behaviors and
maintenance of a safe working
environment.
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION, RISK
ASSESSMENT AND CONTROL
(HIRAC)
 WHAT IS HAZARD?
A hazard is an existing (or potential) hazardous
or unsafe condition or work practice that, by itself
or in combination with other conditions, could
cause injury, illness, or death to workers, as well
as cause property damage.

 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS
A. Elimination and Substitution
- Most effect at reducing hazards, also tend to the most difficult to implement in a an
existing process.
B. Engineering Controls
- Engineering controls shall be favored over administrative and personal protective
equipment (PPE) for controlling existing worker exposures in the workplace because they are
designed to remove the hazard at the source, before it comes in contact with the worker.
C. Administrative Controls
- Administrative control are changes in workplace procedures such as written safety
policies, rules, supervision, schedules, and training with the goal of reducing the duration,
frequency, and severity of exposure to hazardous.
 HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS
D. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- PPE is equipment that will protect the user against healthy or safety risk at work.
Includes: items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility,
clothing, safety footwear, and safety harnesses.
