Sheq foundation WSD 28 04-16 workplace stress
Work-related stress can occur when job demands exceed a person's ability to cope. Moderate stress may improve performance, but too much stress leads to negative effects. Signs of stress include irritability, sleep issues, loss of enjoyment, and relationship problems. Both individuals and organizations can take steps to manage stress, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and ensuring a work-life balance. The key is balancing stress levels to avoid the negative impacts of too much or too little.

Welcome to sheq foundation
The document outlines information about the SHEQ Foundation, a non-profit organization established in Ghana in 2011 to promote safety, health, environment and quality across industries. It discusses the foundation's vision, mission and activities which include membership programs, SHEQ passports for basic training identification, an annual conference and exhibition called WASHEQ, and a company accreditation program. The goal is to increase awareness, reduce accidents and injuries, and recognize high performing organizations in safety culture.
Isolation
This document discusses the importance of isolating hazardous energy sources before maintenance or repair work. It identifies several types of hazardous energy, including electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal radiation, and pressure. Proper isolation is required when servicing equipment where parts could create a hazard, working on pipelines carrying hazardous chemicals, or working on electrical circuits with a risk of shock. Failure to isolate energy sources could result in injuries like electrocution, crushing, burns, or even death. The document stresses switching off and isolating all energy sources, as well as controlling stored energy through actions like blocking moving parts, before starting any maintenance work.
Foot safety
The document discusses foot safety and protection. It identifies common causes of foot problems like blisters, calluses and fungal infections. Potential foot hazards at work include impact injuries from falling objects, chemical or heat burns from spills, and compression injuries. It emphasizes selecting the proper safety shoes for the job tasks and environment, inspecting footwear for damage, and cleaning shoes after exposure to chemicals. Safety shoes are designed to protect the toes, feet and soles from various hazards like punctures, heat and electricity. Proper fitting and maintenance of footwear helps control hazards and protects feet.
Foot Safety
The document discusses foot safety and protection in the workplace. It identifies common causes of foot problems like blisters, calluses and fungal infections that can result from long periods of standing, poorly fitted footwear, and sweaty feet. Potential foot hazards at work include impact injuries, burns and injuries from spills of liquids, compression from heavy machinery, and extremes of cold, heat and moisture. Proper footwear selection and care, including regular inspection and replacement of worn shoes, can help control these hazards. Safety shoes with steel toes, metatarsal guards and puncture resistant soles are recommended for different work tasks and environments.
Head safety
Hard hats come in different types and classes to provide protection against head injuries from impacts, electric shocks, burns, and irritants. They resist penetration, absorb shocks, and lessen injuries. The hard hat suspension system acts as a shock absorber and some hats provide insulation against electric shocks. Hard hats should be inspected regularly and replaced according to maintenance guidelines or if damaged to ensure proper protection.
Computer workstation safety
This document discusses computer workstation safety and ergonomics. It defines ergonomics as designing workstations, equipment, and tasks to fit the worker rather than fitting the worker to the job. It identifies potential risks like awkward positions and excessive force that can cause eye strain, muscle fatigue, and cumulative trauma disorders. It provides tips to address these issues, such as using adjustable furniture and monitors at the proper height, taking breaks, and alternating tasks to avoid overuse injuries. Administrative and engineering controls can help reduce ergonomic hazards at computer workstations.
Body safety
Body protection is important to prevent injuries from workplace hazards and chemicals. Proper body PPE should cover exposed areas based on the specific hazards, such as vests, jackets, aprons, coveralls, or full body suits. Hazards include heat, impacts, cuts, chemicals, and infectious materials. The type of material used, such as paper, cotton, leather, or rubber, depends on protecting against chemicals, abrasions, heat, or physical dangers. Factors like resistance, comfort, and cleaning also determine the right protective clothing. Exposing skin can cause injuries like cuts, sunburn, and infections, so wearing proper body protection is essential for safety.
Ear safety
The document discusses ear safety and noise-induced hearing loss. It describes the parts of the ear and how noise damages hearing. Two key factors that determine noise hazard are intensity (loudness) measured in decibels and time of exposure. Noise destroys hearing gradually through repeated or prolonged exposures. Workplace noise from machinery, as well as recreational and environmental noises can all contribute to hearing damage. The document recommends various engineering controls and proper use of hearing protection to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
Back safety
The majority of back pain is caused by muscle or ligament strains or sprains from lifting improperly or repetitive tasks. While most back injuries heal, prevention is important to avoid recurrence. Proper lifting technique and ergonomics can help reduce back strain, such as keeping the back straight, lifting with legs, avoiding twisting, and using assistance for heavy loads. Potential back injuries from tasks should be assessed and addressed through engineering and administrative controls like automation, job rotation, or lifting aids.
Asbestos safety
- If exposed to enough asbestos, it will kill you as asbestos fibers are invisible and remain in the body for life, causing deadly diseases like asbestosis or mesothelioma.
- Asbestos materials are most dangerous when friable, meaning they can easily crumble and release asbestos fibers into the air.
- When working with or near asbestos, take precautions to prevent fibers from becoming airborne such as dampening materials, avoiding activities like sanding that cause fibers to break off, and using proper cleaning methods and equipment.
Hand safety
This presentation discusses hand safety in the workplace. It notes that hands are unique and valuable tools that allow skilled work. Common hand injuries are reviewed, along with case studies of injuries caused by improper lifting, tool placement, and fatigue. The presentation recommends following the hierarchy of controls to eliminate hazards, such as using lifting tools instead of hands. It also stresses focusing on tasks, proper tool use, housekeeping, and using task-specific gloves as the last line of defense. Overall, the goal is to raise awareness of hand hazards and promote controls to reduce injuries.
Driving safety
1. The document discusses various topics related to driver safety including why driver training is important, common causes of accidents such as inattention and speeding, costs of accidents, safe driving practices like avoiding distractions and maintaining visibility, and driving in bad weather conditions.
2. It provides tips for city driving including scanning traffic, checking mirrors and signals, watching for bikes and pedestrians, and planning routes.
3. The document emphasizes the importance of searching ahead, maintaining space between vehicles, moving your eyes to check mirrors and the road, recognizing hazards and responding appropriately.
Chemical Safety
Chemicals can enter the body through inhalation, absorption, or ingestion and cause both acute and chronic health effects depending on the substance. Material safety data sheets provide important information on chemical hazards, including health effects, safe handling and storage procedures, personal protective equipment requirements, and emergency response. It is important to properly assess chemical risks, identify necessary controls, use appropriate PPE, handle chemicals safely, and ensure worker health is monitored to minimize exposure to hazardous materials.
