1. Healthcare Hazard

2. Healthcare Hazards
• Health hazards include chemical hazards (solvents, adhesives,
paints, toxic dusts, etc.), physical hazards (noise, radiation, heat,
etc.), biological hazards (infectious diseases), and ergonomic risk
factors (heavy lifting, repetitive motions, vibration).

3. Main Classes Of healthcare hazard
• There are four main classes of health hazard namely
1. Corrosive
2. toxic
3. harmful and
4. irritant.

4. 1.Corrosive
• Corrosive material which may cause skin
burns and permanent eye damage.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes
• Do not breathe vapours or sprays
• Wear protective clothing

5. 2.Toxic
• Toxic material which may cause life
threatening effects even in small amounts and
with short exposure.
• Do not swallow the material, allow it to come
into contact with skin or breathe it

6. 3.Harmful
• May cause serious and prolonged health
effects on short or long term exposure.
• Do not swallow the material, allow it to come
into contact with skin or breathe it

7. 4.Irritation
• May cause irritation (redness, rash) or less
serious toxicity.
• Keep away from skin and eyes.
• Avoid release to the environment

8. Hazard Control Management
• Hazard control management focus on developing processes or
systems that can help prevent harm and loss.
• An uncorrected hazard or hazardous situation could contribute to
an event resulting in property damage, job interruption, personal
harm, or adverse health effects.
• The process of controlling hazards requires development of
written policies, plans, or procedures.
• The hazard control functions connect with organizational
structures and operational philosophies.

9. Hazard Control Management

11. The main ways to control a hazard
• Elimination (including substitution): remove the hazard from the
workplace, or substitute (replace) hazardous materials or
machines with less hazardous ones.
• Engineering Controls: includes designs or modifications to plants,
equipment, ventilation systems, and processes that reduce the
source of exposure.

12. The main ways to control a hazard
• Administrative Controls : controls that alter the way the work is
done, including timing of work, policies and other rules, and work
practices such as standards and operating procedures (including
training, housekeeping, and equipment maintenance, and personal
hygiene practices).
• Personal Protective Equipment: equipment worn by individuals to
reduce exposure such as contact with chemicals or exposure to
noise

13. Seven Values of Hazard Control
Management
1. Never-ending process
2. People focused
3. Leadership driven
4. Operational priority
5. Benefits everyone
6. Reduces organizational losses
7. Prevents human harm

14. Hazard Analysis
• It collects the information regarding hazard surveys, inspections,
hazard reports and accident investigation.
• Hazard evaluations and accident trend analysis improve the
effectiveness of established hazard controls.
• Routine analysis enables an organization to develop and
implement appropriate controls forhazardous processes or unsafe
operations.
• This analysis process can provide a snapshot of hazard
information.

15. Types of hazard analysis
1. Change analysis
2. Creative hazard analysis
3. Risk analysis
4. Phase hazard analysis
5. Process hazard analysis
6. Job hazard analysis

16. 1.Change analysis
• Change analysis is an proactive problem-solving technique.
• Change analysis helps hazard control, personally identify hazards related
to new processes and job- related tasks.
• Change analysis attempt to identify all anticipated hazards and concerns
generated by the change.
• Begin by defining a problem or concern.
• Identify distinctive features of any change and list all possible causes.
• Finally, select and validate all causes before continuing with corrections
or controls.

17. 2.Creative hazard analysis
• Creative hazard analysis combines innovation with human expertise to
identify, discover, and analyze hazards of a process, operation, or
system.
• The analysis team understands the problem statement.
• As the team works through each step of the hazard process, it should
collectively generate a list of what or why questions related to hazards.
• After completing this list of probing questions, the team must
systematically answer each question.
• The team works to achieve a consensus on each question and answer.
• The answers that achieve consensus form the foundation for developing
recommendations or dictating the requirement for additional action or
study.

18. 3.Risk analysis
• Risk analysis helps hazard control personnel assess the probability
that an uncontrolled hazard could contribute to an accident event
with resulting organizational losses.
• Risk assessments consider the potential severity associated with
an adverse event occurrence.
• Risk personnel consider hazards with acceptable risks as safe and
those with unacceptable risks as unsafe.

19. 4.Phase hazard analysis
• Phase hazard analysis processes work very well for construction
projects.
• Prior to transitioning to a new phase, conduct an analysis to
identify and evaluate new or potential hazardous.
• Use the information gained through analyses to develop action
plans that can ensure implementation of appropriate controls.

20. 5.Process Hazard Analysis
• Process hazard analysis recommend during the design and
development phases of any hazardous project or operation under
development.
• Process hazard analysis permits employers to accomplish detailed
studies to identify every potential hazard.
• The analysis must show that each element of the process poses no
hazard, poses an uncontrolled hazard, or poses a hazard
controllable in all circumstances.

21. 6.Job Hazard Analysis
• Job hazard analysis (JHA) permits the examination of job-related
tasks, operations, and process to discover and correct inherent
risks and hazards.
• Supervisors and other experienced personnel can perform the JHA
process for understanding potential job hazards by using an
effective teaching tool.
• Organizations should develop, conduct and update a JHA for all
tasks, processes with standardized procedures and formats.

22. • IBFCSM was founded in 1976.
• As a not-for-profit credentialing organization, operated for some
time as the Board of Certified Hazard Control Management
(BCHCM).
