PREFACE
Health and safety issues are important in engineering, management and other fields. Most
professional engineering associations point out that health and safety are issues of utmost
importance in engineering practice. For example, Professional Engineers Ontario
(http://www.peo.on.ca) states in its Code of Ethics, “A practitioner shall … regard the
practitioner's duty to public welfare as paramount.” The need for appropriate education and
training in engineering health and safety is also widely recognized, and engineering programs
usually must appropriately address health and safety to maintain accreditation. For instance, the
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (http://www.ccpe.ca) includes in its curriculum-
content criteria, “Appropriate exposure to … public and worker safety and health considerations
… must be an integral component of the engineering curriculum.”
This document is an engineering-oriented module and set of case studies on health and safety,
which helps convey the importance of these issues in a concise package. The material can be
covered in a single lecture, or over an extended period. The materials herein are intended and
structured for engineering students, but are also useful for others, e.g., students in other technical
programs such as applied sciences and technology, students in management, business and other
programs that interface with engineering, and students in company training programs.
This package contains case studies since they usually present a useful and interesting means of
delivering education on health and safety to engineering students. Minerva Canada
(http://www.minervacanada.org) and others have in the past developed several useful business-
and engineering-oriented case studies on health and safety. The case studies presented here are
fictitious, although they contain ideas based on actual incidents. Although the case studies are
oriented towards engineering, they also incorporate management and business issues, since
health and safety must be dealt with in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner. For example,
criteria for business success, such as performance and profitability, must be considered in
concert with health and safety. The case studies are not intended to be judgmental, but rather to
provide a basis for discussion.
The author invites feedback and comments from interested parties and users, so that the module
and accompanying case studies can be enhanced in the future.

A Culture and Leadership Upholding Health and Safety at Workjovy88
This document discusses the importance of leadership in establishing a strong safety culture at work. It outlines four core actions for leaders: 1) plan the direction for health and safety by establishing a policy and priorities, 2) deliver health and safety by ensuring adequate resources, risk assessments, and employee involvement, 3) monitor health and safety through reporting, audits and responding to changes or failures, and 4) regularly review health and safety policies, risk management, and decisions to address any weaknesses. The document emphasizes that poor safety leadership can result in liability for directors and significant costs to organizations from accidents, lost time, and legal issues.
Occupational health and safety aims to promote worker well-being and prevent harm in the workplace. It involves identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing controls such as eliminating hazards, substituting safer materials, using engineering controls, administrative controls like training, and personal protective equipment. Common hazards include physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic factors. Risk assessment methods are used to determine the likelihood and severity of hazards in order to prioritize risk controls. Maintaining clean and organized work areas through good housekeeping, waste disposal, and spills control is important for surface work operations.

of an individual. It is not concerned only with absence of
diseases.
• The W.H.O has defined health as "a state of complete
physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity."
• Safety refers to freedom from the occurrence or risk of
injury and loss. Employee safety is primarily the
responsibility of the management. It refers to the protection
of workers from the danger of industrial or occupational
accidents.
3. Health and safety means safe working practices, following
guidelines, regulations and procedures, fire safety, and the
maintenance of a safe working environment".
As defined by WHO ‘ occupational health deals with the all
aspects of health and safety in the workplace and has a
strong focus on primary prevention of hazards’.
