1. Basic Safety
Terminology

2. ACCIDENT
Is an undesired event that
results in harm to people,
damage to property, or loss to
process.
Usually a contact with a source
of energy above the threshold
limit of the body or structure

3. INCIDENT
Is an undesired event which,
under slightly different
circumstances could have
resulted in harm to people,
damage to property, or loss to
process.

4. THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE
The maximum point
through which a person,
structure or object could
withstand the forces of
energies without leaving
any physical or
psychological effect.

5. Important Terms: Types of Accidents
First Aid Case (FAC)
Any one time treatment
and subsequent
observation of minor
work-related injuries
which do not ordinarily
require medical care.

6. Important Terms: Types of Accidents
Lost Day Case (LDC)
Case which involves days
away from work or days
of restricted work
activity. The start of a
Lost Day Case does not
include the day of injury.

7. Important Terms: Types of
LDC
a. Lost Workdays- Away from Work
The number of workdays an
employee would have worked but
could not, due to occupational
injury or illness.

8. b. Lost Workdays-Restricted Work Activity
The number of days an employee was
assigned to another job temporarily,
worked at a permanent job less than
fulltime, or worked a permanently
assigned job but could not perform all
normal duties associated with it, due to
occupational injury or illness.
Important Terms: Types of
LDC

9. SAFETY
Is the control of recognized
hazards to attain an acceptable
level of risk.

10. CONTROL
To regulate or restrain. To put
on track.

11. HAZARDS
Are unsafe practices or
conditions, that if not controlled
may result into the occurrence
of an accident or an incident.
H.W. HEINRICH STUDY:
• Unsafe Practices - 88%
• Unsafe Conditions - 10%

12. UNSAFE PRACTICES
Are behaviors which could
permit the occurrence of an
accident or incident.
Deviation from standard
procedures or practices.

13. UNSAFE CONDITIONS
Are circumstances which could
permit the occurrence of an
accident or incident.
Deviation from
standard conditions
(equipment, materials,
or environment).

14. HAZARD ANALYSIS
A process of
identifying risks and
job hazards basically
begins with a thorough
analysis of causes of
accidents with the aim
of arriving-up with an
improved/new
standards.
Hazard Analysis

15. RISK
Is a chance of a physical or
personal loss.

17. SAFETY INSPECTION

revealing hazards
and following
through the
necessary corrective
actions which results

18. Hazardous Energy?
Any form of energy, in
an uncontrolled state,
which presents a
POTENTIAL for injury
to person/s or damage
to property/ies.

19. 6 Types of Hazardous Energies
Electrical: voltage, current, static electrical potentials,
RF
Chemical: reaction, fire, explosion
Mechanical: shearing, rolling, crushing, pinching
Thermal: hotter than 113°F/45°C, colder than 39°F/4°C
Potential or stored energy: batteries, springs,
capacitors
Other: laser, ionizing & non-ionizing radiation,
pneumatic, hydraulic, gravitational, pressure

20. Lockout (LO): The placement of a physical
restraining energy isolating device, which ensures
that the system cannot be operated or cannot
release a hazardous energy.
Tagout (TO): The placement of a warning/
identification tag on an energy isolating device to
indicate that the system must not be operated. It
also identifies the person who applied the lock/tag,
and how to contact that person.

21. Fire Safety, at its most
basic, is based upon the
principle of keeping fuel
