PREVENT WORKERS FROM BEING EXPOSED TO OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS goal of controlling hazards To control at the source by eliminating the hazard or by substituting a hazardous agent(most effective method of controlling hazards) SUBSTITUTION occurs when a new chemical or substance is used instead of another chemical. 3 steps used to manage health and safety at work: #SAM 1)Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification) 2)Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment) 3)Make the Changes (Risk Control)

Examples of workplace hazards: 1) Frayed electrical cords (electric shock) 2) Boxes stacked precariously (fall) 3) Noisy machinery (damage your hearing) Common Hazards encountered by comp tech and users: #PMCEC 1) Physical Hazards 2) Mechanical Hazards 3) Chemical Hazards 4) Electric Shock Hazard 5) CRT Monitor High-Voltage Hazard 5s on your computer: 1) Seiri (Sorting/Putting things in order 2) Seiton (Orderliness/Proper Arrangement) 3) Seiso (Clean/Cleanliness) 4) Seiketsu (Standardize/Purity) 5) Shitsuke (Sustaining/discipline/commitment) Consideration should be given (comp ergo): 1) The accessories required to operate properly. 2) The layout of equipment on the desk. 3) The location of the furniture in the room. OOI: 1) often use only one fingers which may overload the finger tendons 2) are constantly looking from keyboard to screen to keyboard, which may strain neck muscles 3) often adopt a tense posture Computer-Ergonomics Guidelines: #VTSFMK 1) Viewing distance (2-2 ft) 2) Time at computer 3) Seat and height posture 4) Footrest 5) Mouse 6) Keyboard Some ways you can identify heath and safety prob: 1) Observe your workplace 2) Investigate complaints from workers 3) Examine accident and near-miss records 4) Examine sickness figures 5) Use simple surveys to ask your co-workers about their health and safety concerns 6) Use checklists to help you inspect your workplace 7) Learn the results of inspections that are done by the employer, the union, or anyone else 8) Read reports or other information about your workplace 5 major categories of control measures: #ESEAP 1) Elimination 2) Substitution 3) Engineering controls 4) Administrative controls 5) Personal protective equipment

Controls are usually placed: #3As ssdfff 1) At the source (hazard comes from) 2) Along the path (where H travels) 3) At the worker Some tools(monitor & review hazard control program methods): 1) Physical inspection 2) testing 3) exposure assessment 4) observations 5) injury 6) illness tracking 7) employee feedback/input 8) occupational health assessment **Questions 1) Have the controls solved the problem? 2) Is the risk posed by the original hazard contained? 3) Have any new hazards been created? 4) Are monitoring processes adequate? 5) Have the workers been adequately informed about the situation? 6) Have orientation and training programs been modified to deal with the new situation? 7) Are any other measures required? 8)Has the effectiveness of hazard controls been documented in your committee minutes? 9) What else can be done? Some precautions which can be taken to reduce the risk of accidents are: 1) Ensure there are no trailing wires across or around the room which people could trip on. 2) Power cables should be safely secured. 3) Electrical sockets should not be overloaded. 4) Electrical equipment should be safety tested at least once a year. 5) There should be adequate space around desks for people to move. 6) Bags and obstacles should be stored out of the ways so that people cant trip over them. 7) Food and drink should not be placed near a machine. 8) Heating and ventilation should be suitable for the working environment. 9) Work desks should be strong enough to support computers and equipment. 10) Staff should follow the safety regulations. 11) This is the science concerned with designing safe and comfortable machines for use by people 12) This includes furniture design and the design of peripherals that you need to use, such as mouse and keyboard. Tips to ensure that you work safely and comfortably: 1) The right lighting can reduce eyestrain, neck strain, and headaches. 2) The proper desk will let you find the perfect working position.

3) Place your computer screen at eye-level or just below. 4) Sit up straight in your chair. 5) Choose an office task chair that lets you tilt forward to reach objects in front of you and backward to stretch your arms when youre tired. 6) When you type, hold your fingers, wrists, and lower arms in a straight line from your keyboard. Points to remember: 1) Occupational hazards can b e controlled by a variety of methods. 2) The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards. 3) The most effective control measure is to control hazards at the source by eliminating the hazard or by substituting a hazardous ajlafjl 4) It is important to recognize hazards and health and safety problems in the workplace. 5) There are 5 general categories of control measures 3 steps to controlling a hazard 1) See it. (Identify the hazards what is unsafe? 2) Think it. (Evaluate the hazard. What could happen?) 3) Do it. (Provide solutions to control or eliminate the hazard)

FLOWCHART is a diagram that uses graphic symbols to depict the nature and flow of the steps in a process. FLOW DIAGRAM Elements of a Flowchart: 1) Terminator represented by a small rectangle w/ curved corners. (start and end) 2) Process rep. by rectangle. 3) Sub-process rep by rectang with double lines on each side. 4) Decision rep by diamond 5) Connector rep by small circle or a connector box and is labele using letters 6) Arrow lines top to bottom Benefits of using Flowcharts 1) Promote understanding of a process. 2) Provide a tool for training employees. 3)Identify problem areas and opportunities for process improvement. Basic Flowchart Symbols 1) Oval indicated both the starting and ending point of the process steps 2) Box rep individual steps or activity in the process 3) Diamond shows a decision point 4) Circle indicates that a particular step is connected to another page or part of flowchart 5) Triangle shows where an in-processs measurement occurs. Interpreting your flowchart will help you to: 1) Determine who is involved in the proc 2) Form theories about root causes 3) Identify ways to streamline the process 4) Determine how to implement changes 5) Locate cost-added-only steps 6) Provide training on how the process works or should work Sequence of steps thatll help you through an orderly analysis of flowchart: Step 1) Examine each process step a) bottlenecks ( redundant) b) Weak links (inadequate training) c) Poorly defined steps (improvise) Step 2) Examine each decision symbol.
