In this session, you will be able
 To understand the importance of safety in an industry.

 To identify different kinds of hazards.
 To familiarize with OSHA .
 To identify various PPE’s.
 To prevent accidents by controlling risk.

 Safety is the state of being "safe" , the condition of being
protected from harm or other non-desirable outcomes.
 Safety can also refer to the control of recognized hazards

in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
 Easy way to define a safety is free from accident or “zero

accident”
 Industrial safety refers to reduce the risk of injury or loss

and danger to persons, property from the industrial
hazards.

 To prevent accidents in the plant by reducing the hazard to
minimum.
 To eliminate accident caused work stoppage and lost production.
 To achieve lower workmen’s compensation, insurance rates and
reduce all other direct and indirect costs of accidents.
 To prevent loss of life, permanent disability and loss of income of
worker by eliminating causes of accidents.
 To evaluate employee’s morale by promoting safe work place and
good working condition.
 To educate all members of the organization in continuous state of
safety mindless and to make supervision competent and intensely
safety minded.

 “An accident is an unplanned &
uncontrolled event which causes
or is likely to cause an injury”.
It is some thing which un-expected

, un-predictable or intended or not
desired.
An accidents may cause a result of

some unsafe activity, act, working
condition etc ,…..

 Accidents do not happen, They are CAUSED
 Accidents are PREVENTATIVE
 Accidents happen due to UNSAFE ACTS

and / or UNSAFE CONDITIONS
 Accidents happen due to NEGATIVE

ATTITUDE towards safety practices

No, it is not Hazardous…..
If you are Safety Conscious
If you follow Safety Rules
If you are Alert when you work

 Hazard is a term associated with a substance, That is
likely to cause injury to a personnel,
(or)
 One which may lead to loss of property, products etc;
(or)
 A substance that might prove fatal to the personnel.

 Hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or
adverse health effects on something or someone under
certain conditions at work.
 Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be

harmed or experience an adverse health effect if
exposed to a hazard.
R = f (H x E) = f (H x D x t)
Where R=Risk, f=function, H=Hazard, E= Exposure ,D=Dose,
t=time.

 Hazards may be in different form in different
kind of industries.
 For example:
Food Manufacturing Industries,
Pharmaceutical Industries, chemical Industries,
Mining Industries and Automobile
manufacturing Industries may have different
forms of hazards.
But these all industries have some common kind

of hazards.
 Fire hazards
 Mechanical hazards
 Electrical hazards
 Chemical hazards
 Biological hazards

 Fire is an exothermic chemical reaction
between oxygen and fuel.
Combustion
 Slow combustion eg: cotton waste burning
 Rapid combustion eg: petroleum product
 Spontaneous combustion eg: paint, scrap

Classification of Fire:
1. Class A fires:- Fires that occur in ordinary material such as
wood, paper rages, rubber and rubbish.
2. Class B fires:- With flammable material like oil, paint,

gasoline etc…….
3. Class C fires:- With gases and vapours .
4. Class D fires:- With combustible metals such as

magnesium, titanium, lithium, sodium etc….
5. Class E fires:- Involved electricity in any form..

NFPA Classification system:
The NFPA diamond is an easy way to determine the
safety risks associated with hazardous materials.
According to the red section of the diamond, The
following numbering system is used to indicate
flammability
 0 - will not burn
 1 - must be preheated to burn
 2 -ignites when moderately heated
 3 -ignites at normal temperature
 4 -extremely flammable

Sources of Fire Hazards:
 Hot surfaces
 Combustible and flammable liquids
 Heat utilization equipment's (over heating)
 Chemical process equipment's
 Lightening
 Gas cylinders
 Ovens and furnaces
 Reactor
 Welding and cutting
 Spark from metal to metal contact
Carelessness

Causes of Fire Hazards:
1. Improper storage of flammable oils, greases and

fluids, combustible wastes etc.
2. Smoking by employees.
3. Poor house keeping.
4. Defective heating equipment, electrical equipment
and wiring.
5. Explosive gas leakage.
6. Ignition of gases, vapours or combustible dusts.
7. Inadequate protection of electric motors.
8. Sparking in electric wires and equipment.

Protection and prevention of Fire Hazards:
1)Prohibition of smoking in manufacturing area
2) Oxygen present in a flammable atmosphere may be

reduced by dilution with gases as nitrogen, carbon dioxide,
steam or combination of these inerts in exhaust gases from
fuels, automobile engines and jet engines.
3)Operating outside the range of flammability.
4) Eliminating the ignition sources:
a) Flames such as burner flames, matches& cigarette

lighters & heaters.
b) Hot surface such as heated wires, rods or
fragments
Protection and prevention of Fire Hazards:
5. Installation of combustible gas indicators.

6. Adequate ventilation facility.
7. Fire alarms & fire fighting equipment or fire extinguishers

to be installed in factory at suitable location.
8. Provide automatic sprinkles with adequate & reliable
water supply.
9. Proper storage of combustible materials & removal of
waste materials.

Detection of Fire Hazards:
Many automatic fire detection systems are used today in
industry.
Some include
 Thermal expansion detectors,
 Heat sensitive insulation,
 Photoelectric fires,
 Ionization or radiation sensors and
 Ultraviolet or I .R detectors.
These sound an alarm through which fire flames are detected.

agent.

Exists in the form of gases, dust, corrosives, vapor and
liquids. These chemicals can become dangerous to
persons, when inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Can cause breathing problems, skin irritation or burns.
To protect workers from chemical hazards, employers

need to supply their employees with protective clothing.

 These are associated with powers-driven machine, whether
automated or manually operated by steam, hydraulic and/or electric
power introduced new hazards into work place.
 Mechanical hazards are exacerbated by the large number and
different designs of equipment, crowded work place conditions and
different interaction between workers and equipment.
 Hazardous electrical and pneumatic thermal energy must be released
or controlled before working on active equipment.
 High sound levels may be generated by manufacturing equipment
there by increasing their exposure to noise.
 Injuries like cutting, tearing, shearing, puncturing and crushing may
occur with moving machinery.

Mechanical hazards can be reduced by the application of appropriate safeguards.
REQUIREMENTS OF SAFEGUARDS
 Prevent contact
 Securable and durable
 Protect against falling objects
 Do not create new hazard
 Do not create interference
 Allow safe maintenance.
TYPES OF SAFEGUARDS
 Point of operation guards-Fixed guards, interlocked guards and
adjustable guards.
 Feeding/ ejection method

FIXED GUARDS
 It provide a permanent barrier between workers and
point of operation.
INTERLOCKED GUARDS
 They shut down the machine when the guard is not
securely in place
ADVANTAGES
 Allow safe access for removing jams or for maintenance
ADJUSTABLE GUARDS
 They provide a barrier against a variety of different
hazards

FEEDING AND EJECTION SYSTEMS
 Automatic feed systems feed the stocks to the machine from rolls. It
eliminate the need of operators to enter the danger zone
 Advantages of this is the operators do not reach in to the danger zone to
retrieve work pieces
LOCKOUT/ TAGOUT SYSTEMS

 It is a method that was especially designed to protect against unexpected
startup of a machine
 In the lockout system a padlock is placed through a gate covering
 The lock usually has the label that gives the name, department and
telephone extension of a person. The lock is removed only by the person

 All the operator should be trained in the safe operation and
maintenance of their machine.
 All machine operators should be trained in the emergency
procedures to take when accident occur.
 All employee should know how to activate emergency shut
down controls.
 Inspection, maintenance, adjustment, repair and calibration of
safe guards should be carried out regularly.
 Supervisors should ensure the safe guards and properly in
place when machine are in use.
 Short-cuts that violate safety principle and practice should be
avoided.

 Electric shock  Puncture wounds
 Amputation  Cuts and abrasions
 Eye injuries 
 Hearing loss Contusions/crushing
 Burns

A shock is caused by electrical current passing
through human body. The quantity and path of
this current determines the level of damage.
 The electrical hazards occurs when a person
makes contact with a conductor carrying a

current and simultaneously contacts the ground.

 Contact with a base wire carrying current.
 Working with electrical equipment that lacks the label for
safety inspection.
 Electrical equipment that has not been properly
grounded.
 Working with electrical equipment on damp floors.
 Using metal ladders to work on electrical equipment.
 Lighting strikes.
 Working on electrical equipment without ensuring that
the power has been shut off.

Improper wiring:
 One common mistake is to jump the ground wire to the
neutral wire.
 If the neutral circuit becomes corroded or loose, the
voltage on the ground wire increases to a dangerous level.
Insulation failure:
 The degradation of insulation can cause a base wire and
resulting shock to anyone coming in contact
 It is caused by environments toxics like
Direct sunlight
Sparks
Repeated exposure to elevated temperature

 Ensure that power has been disconnected from the system
before working with it. Capacitors can store current after power
has been shut off.
 Allow only fully authorized and trained people to work.
 Do not wear conductive materials such as metal jewelry.
 Periodically inspect insulation.
 If working on a hot circuit, use the buddy system and wear
protective clothing.
 Do not use a fuse with a greater capacity than was prescribed.
 Verify circuit voltage before performing work.
 Do not use water to put on electrical fire.
 Discharge capacitors before working on the equipment.
 Use fuses and circuit breakers for protection against excessive
current.

Disease due to biological hazards:
Brucellosis (dairy industry)
Byssinosis (textile industry)
Bagassosis (sugar-cane)
Loco motor disorder
Preventive measures
 Periodic health check up
 Personal protection
 The manufacturer should also provide
 First aid facilities
 Initial examination
 Facility for vaccination
 Routine sanitation programme

 OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration.
 Itis a governmental safety organization that is

responsible to reduce work related injuries
