3. Industrial Safety
Industrial safety is primarily a management activity
which is concerned with
 Reducing the hazards
Controlling the hazards
Eliminating hazards from the industries or industrial
units.

4. Objectives
 To prevent accidents in the plant by reducing the
hazard to minimum.
 To eliminate accident caused work stoppage and
lost production.
 To evaluate employee's moral by promoting safe
work place and good working condition.

5. MSDS ( Material Safety Data Sheet )
 A MSDS is a document which discusses all the
information of the material related to its
identification, Hazards, Handling/Storage
requirement, First Aid measures, Disposal
information.

29. Personal Protective Equipment
 Personal protective
equipment or PPE is
protective equipment
used for work-related
occupational health and
safety purposes.

30. Personal Protective Equipment
 Why is PPE important?
PPE is designed to protect the worker’s body
from hazards and injuries such as blunt impacts,
electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and infection, etc.

31.  What Do I Wear ?
 All employees, depending on their jobs, are required to
co-operate in the strict observance of safety legislation,
regulations, guideline policies and procedures at all time.
 This includes wearing safety shoes, hearing protection, goggles,
gloves, helmets, etc.
 Depending on their jobs, employees are required to wear all
PPE while they are in the manufacturing plant.

32. What does Personal Protective Equipment
Include ?
 Eye & Face Protection
 Head Protection
 Hand/Skin Protection
 Body Protection
 Hearing Protection
 Foot Protection
 Respiratory Protection

33. Eye & Face Protection
Eye and face protection is used to Protect eyes from
hazards from:
 Airborne particles
 Liquid chemicals
 Molten metals
 Light radiation
 Dust
Goggles face shields

34. Hearing Protection
 Injuries to the head are
very serious. For this
reason, head protection
and safety are very
important .

35.  Types of Head hazards
 Impact
 Electric shock
 Drips
 Types of Head PPE
Class A Hard Hat
Class B Hard Hat
Class C Hard hat
Bump Cups

36. Hand/Skin Protection
Why is Hand Protection Important?
 It has been estimated that almost 20% of all
disabling accidents on the job involve the hands.
 Without your fingers or hands, your ability to
work would be greatly reduced.

37. Types of Hand Hazards
 Mechanical Injuries
 Contact Injuries
 Repetitive Motion Injuries

38. Foot Protection
 Types of Foot Hazards
 Impact Injuries
 Electrical Shocks
Extremes in Cold, Heat, and Moisture
 Slipping

39. Body Protection
TYPES OF BODY HAZARDS
Temperature stress
Chemical Contact
Radiation

40. Respiratory Protection
 Respirators can be used for protection from contaminants in
the air. This is only if other hazard control methods are not
practical or possible under the working conditions.
