The document discusses health and safety in the workplace. It outlines various hazards like physical, chemical, ergonomic, and biological hazards that can cause accidents. It emphasizes providing a safe work environment with proper lighting, ventilation, and sanitation facilities. The key steps to prevent accidents are recognition of hazards, evaluation of risks, and taking control measures like immediate repair, clearance of obstructions, and use of protective equipment. Specific risks like slips, trips, and falls are analyzed with questions to identify hazards and control measures like cleaning spills, using non-slip shoes, and barricading unsafe areas. An example of Brunei Shell Petroleum enforcing 12 life-saving rules for health and safety is also provided.

1. Health and
Safety at
Workplace
How to Prevent Accidents At
Workplace?

2. The Hazards
• Key points
• Must provide a safe and healthy environment for all the
employees
• Also need to take account of their welfare needs
• Things that need to be consider:
• Lighting
• Ventilation
• toilets

3. Brainstorm!!
• What is the meaning of Hazards?
• What are the:
• Physical Hazards?
• involve accidents or physical trauma (e.g., slipping or tripping hazards, unstable
ladders, using a saw without the guard, getting into altercations with violent
customers)
• Chemical Hazards?
• involve burns, rashes, or illness resulting from exposure to unsafe chemicals,
e.g., chemical spills, improper handling or use of a chemical substance, prolonged
exposure to toxic fume
• Ergonomic Hazards? And
• involve injuries resulting from improper lifting, repetitive motions, overextending
(e.g., spending long periods at the computer, poor set-up of workstation)
• Biological Hazards?
• involve exposure to unhealthy germs, bacteria, and other life forms (e.g., contact
with used needles, contact with bodily fluids, exposure to poisonous plants,
insects, or reptiles)

4. A Safe Place of Work
• The employer MUST:
• Make sure that the building in a good
conditions
• Put right any dangerous defects immediately
• Have enough space for safe movement and
access
• Have windows that can be opened and
cleaned safely
• Keep outdoor routes safe e.g no obstruction

5. Three Key Steps of Prevent
From Accidents
• There are three key steps that can be use to
assess and reduce the risk of hazardous
situations:
• Recognition –
• “See it”
• Evaluation-
• “Think It”
• Control –
• “Do it”

6. • For three key steps, need to have Questions to ask:
• “See it”
• What is unsafe? How many unsafe acts or conditions are there?
What are the hazards?
• ”Think it”
• Why is it a hazardous situation? What could happen? What is
creating the hazard? What injuries could occur?
• “Do it”
• What could be done to prevent an accident from happening?
What could minimize the risk? What could be done to eliminate or
minimize the hazard?

8. Slips, Trips and Falls
• These three accidents are the most common accidents
that occur either at work or home, which can lead to
injuries.
• The major injuries are:
• Broken bones
• Serious burns
• Loss consciousness

9. Basic Requirements for
preventing Slips, Trips and
Falls
• Floor must not have holes or slopes, or be uneven or
slippery
• Floors in a work place must be kept free from
obstructions and from any article or substance that
may cause the person to slip

10. Slips, Trips and Falls
• “see it”
• What to look for:
• If your floor gets contaminated water,
liquid or anything else
• If your floor has a smooth surface, even
for a tiny contamination
• Do mats or floor tiles curled up?
• Are cables and pipes properly trailed?

11. • “think It”
• Stop the floor getting wet or contaminated:
• Maintain equipment to stop leaks
• Clean floors to a dry finish
• Control and contain processes to prevent
spillages and splashes
• By wearing a non- slip shoes

12. • “Do it”
• Deal with it:
• Cleans up spillages immediately
• Put a warning sign or barricade the place
• Have procedures for both routine and
‘spillages response’ cleaning

14. Example of HSE in Brunei
• Brunei Shell Petroleum is the organization that
practices HSE as part of their daily operation.
• Shell as a whole implemented 12 life saving rules as
part of their HSE aspect that must be followed.
• Shell has committed that any violation of this rules,
the organization will no longer allowed the employee to
work on their sites/place.
• BSP has enforce their employee to understand and
committed to live and work by the 12’s life saving
rules.
