Safety and Health at Work
TRAINING FOR SAFETY
As the HR manager of a large construction company, your workers’ health and safety is of paramount concern. Last
week, you reported an incidence rate of 7.5 accidents per 100 employees to the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). When you compared these numbers to last year, you found the number had significantly
increased, as it was 4.2. This is concerning, because you know an unsafe workplace is not only bad for employees
and bad for business, but it could result in fines from OSHA. You ask your operations managers to meet with you
about the situation. When you bring this to his attention, he doesn’t seem at all concerned about the almost
double increase in accidents over the last year. He says the increase in accidents is a result of scaffolding falling dur-
ing a building project where several workers were hurt. He says this one accident skewed the numbers. He men-
tions that the supervisor responsible for the scaffolding had been let go six months ago for other reasons, and he
assures you that there is no reason to be concerned. A few weeks after this conversation, two of your workers
spend time in the hospital because of a falling scaffolding injury. Again, you approach the operations manager and
he assures you that those employees were just new and he will implement proper procedures. You know the incid-
ent will result in another high incident percentage, even if there isn’t another accident the rest of the year. You con-
sider your options.
You look back over ten years of accident reports and find there are three areas for which your company seems
to have 90 percent of all accidents. You decide you will develop a training program to address these safety issues in
your workplace. You refer to your HRM textbook for tips on how to prepare and communicate this training to your
employees. When you present this option to your operations manager, he says that employees don’t have the time
to take from their jobs to go through this training and suggests you just let it go. You are prepared for this re-
sponse, and you give him the dollar figure of money lost owing to worker injury in your organization. This gets his
attention, especially when you compare it to the small cost of doing a two-hour training for all employees. Both of
you check your Outlook schedules to find the best day of the week to schedule the training, for minimum impact
on employees’ work.

Solution
Answer1. Under the OSHA law, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace.
Provide a workplace free from serious recognized hazards and comply with standards, rules and
regulations issued under the OSHA Act.
Examine workplace conditions to make sure they conform to applicable OSHA standards.
Make sure employees have and use safe tools and equipment and properly maintain this
equipment.
Provide medical examinations and training when required by OSHA standards and many other
OSHA standards.
Answer2. OSHA\'s standard for first aid training at Construction site
In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is
used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to
render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available.
The primary requirement addressed by these standards is that an employer must ensure prompt
first aid treatment for injured employees, either by providing for the availability of a trained first
aid provider at the worksite, or by ensuring that emergency treatment services are within
reasonable proximity of the worksite.
Answer3. The OSHA standards are divided into four major categories based on the type of work
being performed:agriculture(1928), construction (Part 1926), general industry (Part 1910) and
maritime (Part 1918).
The construction standard states that fall protection is required when an employee is working on
a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side or edge
which is six feet or more a.

Basic Hazard Awareness
“This material was produced under the grant SH-20839-SHO from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. It does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.”
Objectives
By the end of this workshop, you will:
Identify how workplace injuries or illnesses can affect your everyday life.
Identify common symptoms, aches/pains, illnesses and injuries that are associated with your work.
Identify and recognize the exposures and hazards linked to work-related illnesses and injuries.
Develop solutions and strategies to address these identified hazards.
CHEMICAL & DUST HAZARDS
(cleaning products, pesticides, asbestos, etc.)
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
(mold, insects/pests, communicable diseases, etc.)
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS
(repetition, lifting, awkward postures, etc.)
WORK ORGANIZATION HAZARDS
Things that cause STRESS!
SAFETY HAZARDS
(slips, trips and falls, faulty equipment, etc.)
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
(noise, temperature extremes, radiation, etc.)
3
Hierarchy of Controls
Requires a physical change to the workplace
Requires worker to wear something
Elimination/Substitution
Requires worker or employer to do something
Most Effective
Least Effective
These are referred to as the hierarchy of controls, how you prevent or control a hazard:
Elimination/Substitution: The main goal for any fix to a hazard or exposure is to eliminate it altogether or substitute a product or method of doing the work to a less hazardous alternative. (e.g. green cleaning products)
4
CONTROLS: Engineering
CONTROL AT THE SOURCE!
Limits the hazard but doesn’t entirely remove it.
Local Exhaust
Other Examples:
Mechanical Guards
Wet Methods for Dust
Enclosures/Isolation
Dilution Ventilation
Proper equipment
Re-designed Tools

5
The basic concept behind engineering controls is that, to the extent feasible, the work environment and the job itself should be designed to eliminate hazards or reduce exposure to hazards. While this approach is called engineering controls, it does not necessarily mean that an engineer is required to design the control. Engineering controls are the "first line of defense" against injury/illness, because they have the potential to completely eliminate a hazard, and do not rely on human behavior to be effective. For instance, rather than require employees to wear respiratory protection which must be monitored, inspected, trained, managed, it's much more effective to install a ventilation system that does not require any of those management activities or, better yet, find an alternative substitute that is less hazardous.

Duties of workers in management of OHS
Regardless to the type and nature of the job you do, occupational health and safety is an important
issue and needs a particular attention. Rates of work-related illnesses and injuries are slowly
decreasing worldwide but still they are great in number. The International Labour Organization (ILO)
reports that the number of deaths caused by occupational accidents and work related illnesses
worldwide is higher than those of war.
Workplace Health & Safety Overview
Things can go seriously wrong if not enough attention is paid to industry-related, work health and safety regulations. The construction industry ranks in the top 5 industries for work-related fatalities, emphasising the importance of compliance for ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for all your personnel.

(cleaning products, pesticides, asbestos, etc.)
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
(mold, insects/pests, communicable diseases, etc.)
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS
(repetition, lifting, awkward postures, etc.)
WORK ORGANIZATION HAZARDS
Things that cause STRESS!
SAFETY HAZARDS
(slips, trips and falls, faulty equipment, etc.)
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
(noise, temperature extremes, radiation, etc.)

Hierarchy of Controls
Requires a physical change to the workplace
Requires worker to wear something
Elimination/Substitution
Requires worker or employer to do something
Most Effective
Least Effective
These are referred to as the hierarchy of controls, how you prevent or control a hazard:
Elimination/Substitution: The main goal for any fix to a hazard or exposure is to eliminate it altogether or substitute a product or method of doing the work to a less hazardous alternative. (e.g. green cleaning products)
4
CONTROLS: Engineering
CONTROL AT THE SOURCE!
Limits the hazard but doesn’t entirely remove it.
Local Exhaust
Other Examples:
Mechanical Guards
Wet Methods for Dust
Enclosures/Isolation
Dilution Ventilation
Proper equipment
Re-designed Tools

The basic concept behind engineering controls is that, to the extent feasible, the work environment and the job itself should be designed to eliminate hazards or reduce exposure to hazards. While this approach is called engineering controls, it does not necessarily mean that an engineer is required to design the control. Engineering controls are the "first line of defense" against injury/illness, because they have the potential to completely eliminate a hazard, and do not rely on human behavior to be effective. For instance, rather than require employees to wear respiratory protection which must be monitored, inspected, trained, managed, it's much more effective to install a ventilation system that does not require any of those management activities or, better yet, find an alternative substitute that is less hazardous.

Regardless to the type and nature of the job you do, occupational health and safety is an important
issue and needs a particular attention. Rates of work-related illnesses and injuries are slowly
decreasing worldwide but still they are great in number. The International Labour Organization (ILO)
reports that the number of deaths caused by occupational accidents and work related illnesses
worldwide is higher than those of war.
Workplace Health & Safety Overview
Things can go seriously wrong if not enough attention is paid to industry-related, work health and safety regulations. The construction industry ranks in the top 5 industries for work-related fatalities, emphasising the importance of compliance for ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for all your personnel.

This slide is prepared for master's students (MIFB & MIBS) UUM. May it be useful to all.Introduction to Quality Improvement Essentials
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
