an injury, illness or death.
TYPES OF HAZARD
CHEMICAL HAZARD
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- These are basically the kinds of threats gotten
from chemical substances.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- METHOD OF EXPOSURE : INHALATION
(through the nose),
Through inhalation: people, out of ignorance,
inhale poisonous chemicals such as:
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- smoke from generator,
- car and many other sources
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Sulfur Dioxide, Ozone,
Phosgene, Nitrogen Dioxide, Ammonia. etc
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- METHOD OF EXPOSURE : SKIN CONTACT
(Absorption)
- Dangerous chemicals burn and rupture the skin
when they come in contact with it.
- Example: exposure to high Amount of Acid.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- METHOD OF EXPOSURE: ABSORPTION
Skin absorption is a route by which substances
can enter the body through the skin.
Also harmful substances pass through this
medium into the body system.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- METHOD OF EXPOSURES: INGESTION
(through the mouth)
Poisonous chemicals enter body through the
mouth into the digestive system, from
contaminated food or water and or any other
means. This can be prevented by not eating or
drinking when handling chemicals.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- METHOD OF EXPOSURE: INJECTION
Harmful chemical can enter into our body or
blood stream through a mechanical medium.
E.g. through cuts from broken glass or sharp
objects.
Note: This could also be deliberate in the case of
hard drugs. However victims are usually not
abreast of the full chemical composition of the
substance entering their body.
CHEMICAL HAZARD

procedure (sop) when handling chemicals.
- Use PPE e.g Gloves, coveralls, etc
- Workers must work under supervision
- Wash off immediately if the chemical comes in
contact with skin.
- Follow the safety data sheet (manual) of
chemicals
CHEMICAL HAZARD
- GENERAL CHEMICAL HAZARD KNOWLEDGE
PROTECTION Cont:
- Avoid prolonged (even low-level) exposure to chemicals.
- Avoid mixing different products that contain toxic chemicals such
as ammonia and bleach. The mixture can give off hazardous
fumes.
- Buy potentially poisonous substance in safety containers, and buy
only as much as needed.
- Many household products are made of toxic chemicals. It is
important to read and follow label instructions, including any
precautions.
CHEMICAL HAZARD

a threat to the health of humans.
- Biological hazards are hazards associated with
living disease causing organisms (i.e
pathogens)
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
- METHOD OF EXPOSURES : Bloodborne Pathogens:
- A pathogen is something that spreads disease
- Bloodborne are diseases that goes through the blood.
Examples are:
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
- Hepatitis C
- human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- And others
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
METHOD OF EXPOSURES : Bloodborne Pathogens:
NOTE: objects contaminated with the blood of an infected
person will be contagious. Avoid any contact with
equipments.
- Do not handle blood with your bare hands always use
disposable gloves, and apron in severe instance.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
METHOD OF EXPOSURES : Building Related illness:
building-related illness (BRI) refers to recognized diseases,
often infections, eg Legionnaires' disease, caused by being
in a sick building.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
METHOD OF EXPOSURES : Building Related illness:
Buildings become “sick” mostly when :
- There is a Poor ventilation.
- Poisonous Air conditioning.
- Low humidity.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
METHOD OF EXPOSURES : Plant and insect Poison
• many plants and their fruits are poisonous and should not
be eaten.

- Noise
- Thermal
- Caught in /on between pinch points
- Slips and falls
- Struck by flying objects
PHYSICAL HAZARDS – Electric Shock
PHYSICAL HAZARDS – Fire Burn
PHYSICAL HAZARDS – Noise
PHYSICAL HAZARDS – Noise
Noise-induced hearing loss is an irreversible condition that can have a
terrible impact on a person’s life.
If you are exposed to loud noise continually over a period of time, the nerve
receptors in your inner ear may eventually die, and once damage occurs it
cannot be repaired.
Hearing loss can also result from exposure to sudden loud noises, such as
explosions, gun shots or heavy hammering. These types of noises are
commonly referred to as ‘impact’ noises and, if loud enough, can cause
immediate, permanent damage.
Permanent hearing loss may also be accompanied by tinnitus or ringing in
the ears.

JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
JHA is a technique that focuses on job tasks as a
way of identifying hazards before the incidents /
accident occurs.
- It focuses on the relationship between the
works, the task, the tools and the work
environment.
- It helps safety officers identify potential hazards
and give them clues on how to eliminate it or
reduce it to the acceptable risk level.
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
TYPICAL JHA QUESTIONS ARE:
- What can go wrong?
- What are the consequences?
- How could it arise?
- What are other seemingly contributing factors?
- How likely is it that the hazard will occur?
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
A CORRECT JHA TELLS:
- Where it can happen (Environment)
- Who or what it can happen to (exposure)
- What can precipitates the hazard
- The outcome that would occur should it happen
- And any other contributing factor
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
JHA demonstrates that all the credible hazards
inherent in the job have been identified and
measures to put them under control is on
ground already.
REMEMBER:
RESEARCH > IDENTIFY > ASSESS > CONTROL
/ RECOVER
- Job in which one simple human error could
lead to a severe accident or injuries.
- Complex jobs that should require written
instruction.
- Job where accident frequently occurs
- Jobs which many workers are not familiar
with
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
WHAT JOB NEEDS JHA MORE?
- Identify the scope and JHA objectives.
- Breakdown task into basic steps.
- For each step identify the hazards and its
threats
- Define control and recovery measures
- Record results
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
STEPS TO DO A JHA?
To identify potential hazard study the job
systematically and answer these questions:
- Can the tools, machines or equipment
present any hazard?
- Can the work suffer slip, trip or fall?
- Is there a danger from falling objects?
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
IDENTIFYING A POTENTIAL HAZARD
- Can weather condition affect safety?
- Is harmful radiations a possibility?
- Can contact be made with toxic, hot or
caustic substances?
- Is lighting poor?
- Can damage to equipment occur?
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
(JHA)
IDENTIFYING A POTENTIAL HAZARD
- Eliminate / substitution
- Isolation
- Lockout and Tagout
- Enclosure guards
- Education/training
- Procedures
- Work design and schedules

ACCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURE
A. LIFE THREATENING SITUATION
1. Get to the nearest emergency room for proper medical attention.
2. Notify the main office as soon as possible
B. NON-LIFE THREATENING
1. Notify your supervisor
2. Call and make arrangements with the company doctor.
3. Assist your supervisor with details to fill out the “First Report of Injury”
4. All accidents must be reported and investigated. It is YOUR
responsibility to report all accidents or incidents (near misses) without
regard to severity.
157
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS
Safety Coordinator:
Poison Control:
First Aid:
Fire Department:
Ambulance:
Police:
Medical Clinic:
Clinic Address:
158
Emergency Medical Treatment
If you sustain a severe injury requiring emergency treatment:
Call for help and seek assistance from a co-worker.
Use the emergency telephone numbers and instructions posted next to the
telephone in your work area to request assistance and transportation to
the local hospital emergency room/clinic etc.
Provide details for the completion of the accident investigation report.
159
Non-Emergency Medical
Treatment
For non-emergency work-related injuries requiring professional medical
assistance, management must first authorize treatment
If you sustain an injury requiring treatment other than, first aid:
Inform your supervisor.
Proceed to the posted medical facility. Your supervisor will assist
with transportation, if necessary.
Provide details for the completion of the accident investigation
report.
160
Minor First-Aid Treatment
If you sustain an injury or are involved in an accident requiring minor first aid treatment:
Inform your supervisor.
Administer first aid treatment to the injury or wound.
If a first aid kit is used, indicate usage on the accident investigation
report.
Access to a first aid kit is not intended to be a substitute for medical
attention.
Provide details for the completion of the accident investigation report.
161
As a general rule, all accidents, no matter how minor, should be reported
immediately and investigated as soon as possible.
Employees must be made aware of their responsibility, to report the incident
as soon as possible after it occurs. They must also be aware that when/if
they report an incident, the incident will be discussed with them, as to
When-Where-Who-What-Why-How. They will be expected to cooperate with
the investigation, as the goal is to develop the root cause of the incident and
abate it so it does not occur again.
REMEMBER: Failure to comply with a company policy, such as the
requirement to report ANY/All accidents/incidents equals violating company
policy. That could result in disciplinary actions up to and including
termination. Since companies are different, check your company policies to
be sure!
In numerous businesses, when there is an incident, there is also a drug test
as part of policy. Employees should know this and expect this as a routine
occurrence.
Reporting of Accidents/Incidents
162
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Task 12.0
• Mention some accidents you have seen in
your workplace?
Time: 5mins
164
ACCIDENTS don’t just happen…
“THEY ARE CAUSED!!!”
166
ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED BY:
• Unsafe Acts
• Unsafe Conditions
167
What Causes Injuries?
Task 13.0
Unsafe Conditions
20%
Acts of God
2%
Unsafe Acts
78%
168
MOST ACCIDENTS WERE CAUSED BY BOTH:
• UNSAFE ACTS, and
• UNSAFE CONDITIONS
169
UNSAFE CONDITION (Hazard):
Is a physical condition or circumstance that
permits, or is likely to cause an accident.
170
UNSAFE ACT (Work Practice):
Is any violation of (or departure from) an accepted
normal, or correct, procedure or practice.
Task 14.0
• Why should we investigate an accident?
Time: 5mins.
172
Accident: An unplanned, undesired event, not necessarily resulting in
injury,but damaging to property and/.or interrupting the activity in process.
Incident: An undesired event that may cause personal harm or other
damage. (OSHA specifies incidents of a certain severity be recorded.)
With proper hazard identification and evaluation, management
commitment and support, preventive and corrective procedures,
monitoring, evaluation and training, unwanted events can be
prevented.
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
173
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
The ultimate purpose of investigations is to prevent future incidents.
•Investigations must produce factual information leading to corrective
actions that prevent or reduce the number of incidents.
•Investigations must be FACT FINDING not FAULT FINDING
174
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
The investigation concentrates on the fact surrounding the incident. After
the incident is fully investigated, responsibility will be fixed where
personal fault has caused the injury.
No person should be excused from the
consequences of their actions.
Disciplinary actions must not be from the investigating individual or
committee, but from management, for violating company
policies/procedures.
175
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
As a rule of thumb, use the “5-W” principle!
Simply ask “Why” five (5) times.
1. Why did you slip and Fall in the hall by the water cooler ? <answer> Because the
floor was wet.
2. Why was the floor wet? <answer> Because there was water on it.
3. Why was their water on the floor? <answer>I don’t know. It was coming out from
underneath the water cooler.
4. Why was water coming out from under the water cooler?
<answer> I don’t know. Let’s look. There is a hole in the
drain pipe.
5. Why is there a hole in the drain pipe? <answer>It appears as if it rusted out.
Was this an UNSAFE ACTIVITY or UNSAFE CONDITION?
176
ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
It was an Unsafe Condition, caused by an Unsafe Activity.
The rusted pipe was caused by lack of preventative maintenance,
which was an unsafe activity. If there is “blame” where does it lie?
Was there a preventative maintenance program?, Who was in
charge of it. Why was it not checked? Should this be subject to
disciplinary actions?

Task 15.0
• What is First Aid?
Time: 5mins
FIRST AID
DEFINITION
• First aid is the skilled emergency
treatment given to an injured or sick
person before the arrival of a
doctor/medical personnel or before taking
the victim to the hospital, using available
materials at the scene.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES OF FIRST AID
1. To save or preserve life
2. To prevent illness or injury becoming
worse.
3. To promote recovery by relieving pain as
far as possible
4. To provide reassurance and comfort to
the casualty
Qualities of a first aider
• Observant
• Carefulness
• Resourceful
• Tactful
• Sympathetic
• Persevering
• explicit
General rules for first aiders
• Stay calm
• Use your common sense
• Do not attempt to do too much if you are
unsure of what to do
• Reassure victim all the time
• Do not move victim unless absolutely
necessary
• Do not leave the victim unattended to until
the doctor takes charge
• Do not give him anything to eat or drink
Emergency action principles
1. Survey the scene
2. Do a primary survey of the victim
3. Phone the emergency medical service
(EMS) or look for help
4. Do a secondary survey of the victim when
appropriate
Assess the situation
Immediately observe the scene and take in
much information as possible using the
“DRS-ABCD” Principle
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable
device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an
electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal
rhythm. AEDs are used to treat sudden cardiac
arrest (SCA).
First Aid Treatment
1. remove or treat any cause of
unconsciousness.
2. Ensure the airway is clear.
3. Examine him and treat any serious
injuries
4. Place victim in a recovery position unless
when injuries do not permit eg spinal inj.
5. Keep him protected from cold
Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
“3Bs” of First Aid
1. Breathing
2. Bleeding, and
3. Bones
FIRST AID “ABC” PRINCIPLE
This is the first action taken by a first aider
to,
• A: ensure an open airway
• B: breathe by inflating the lungs
• C: circulate the blood by compressing the
chest
Clear the airway
Conditions that often require first aid
Bone fracture
Choking
Burns
Cardiac arrest
Drowning or asphyxiation
Electric shock
Battle field
Poisoning
Seizures
Bone dislocation
Cuts
Cramps in muscles
Childbirth
Toothache
Insect or animal bite
Wounds and bleeding
TYPES OF POLLUTION
• Air pollution
• Water pollution
• Land/soil pollution
Sources of pollution
• Oil/chemical spill/leakage
• Sewage discharge into water bodies
• Indiscriminate discharge of waste into
water
• Bush burning
• Release of combustion gases into the
atmosphere
Effect of Environmental Pollution
• Health problems
• Ozone layer depletion
• Global warming
• Flooding and erosion
• Deforestation
• Reduced soil fertility, etc
Waste control
• Waste control or management is the
deliberate effort at putting away waste
without re-contaminating the environment
Definition:
Waste is any material resulting from any
activity which has no immediate economic
benefit and must be disposed of.

  • 161.
    161 As a generalrule, all accidents, no matter how minor, should be reported immediately and investigated as soon as possible. Employees must be made aware of their responsibility, to report the incident as soon as possible after it occurs. They must also be aware that when/if they report an incident, the incident will be discussed with them, as to When-Where-Who-What-Why-How. They will be expected to cooperate with the investigation, as the goal is to develop the root cause of the incident and abate it so it does not occur again. REMEMBER: Failure to comply with a company policy, such as the requirement to report ANY/All accidents/incidents equals violating company policy. That could result in disciplinary actions up to and including termination. Since companies are different, check your company policies to be sure! In numerous businesses, when there is an incident, there is also a drug test as part of policy. Employees should know this and expect this as a routine occurrence. Reporting of Accidents/Incidents

    172 Accident: An unplanned,undesired event, not necessarily resulting in injury,but damaging to property and/.or interrupting the activity in process. Incident: An undesired event that may cause personal harm or other damage. (OSHA specifies incidents of a certain severity be recorded.) With proper hazard identification and evaluation, management commitment and support, preventive and corrective procedures, monitoring, evaluation and training, unwanted events can be prevented. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
  • 173.
    173 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION The ultimatepurpose of investigations is to prevent future incidents. •Investigations must produce factual information leading to corrective actions that prevent or reduce the number of incidents. •Investigations must be FACT FINDING not FAULT FINDING
  • 174.
    174 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION The investigationconcentrates on the fact surrounding the incident. After the incident is fully investigated, responsibility will be fixed where personal fault has caused the injury. No person should be excused from the consequences of their actions. Disciplinary actions must not be from the investigating individual or committee, but from management, for violating company policies/procedures.
  • 175.
    175 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION As arule of thumb, use the “5-W” principle! Simply ask “Why” five (5) times. 1. Why did you slip and Fall in the hall by the water cooler ? <answer> Because the floor was wet. 2. Why was the floor wet? <answer> Because there was water on it. 3. Why was their water on the floor? <answer>I don’t know. It was coming out from underneath the water cooler. 4. Why was water coming out from under the water cooler? <answer> I don’t know. Let’s look. There is a hole in the drain pipe. 5. Why is there a hole in the drain pipe? <answer>It appears as if it rusted out. Was this an UNSAFE ACTIVITY or UNSAFE CONDITION?
  • 176.
    176 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION It wasan Unsafe Condition, caused by an Unsafe Activity. The rusted pipe was caused by lack of preventative maintenance, which was an unsafe activity. If there is “blame” where does it lie? Was there a preventative maintenance program?, Who was in charge of it. Why was it not checked? Should this be subject to disciplinary actions?
