What is a Hazzard in your Work
Place
Discuss the possible hazards in your workplace and the issues involved with hazard
identification and working with people with an intellectual disability. Discuss how
managers and support staff can involve supported employees with a disability in
identifying hazards. You may wish to use this part of the session to develop strategies or
action plans for individuals or teams.
A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause injury or illness.
Hazards in the workplace can include:
Physical - examples: Chemical - examples:
* noise and vibration * dangerous goods and chemicals
* temperature and humidity * poor ventilation, which can cause
* poor ventilation problems with dust, fumes, vapours,
* poor lighting gases and liquids.
* untidiness
Environmental - examples: Human behaviour - examples:
* condition and design of * boredom
equipment and furniture * distraction
* occupational overuse * interpersonal interactions
injuries such as incorrect * aggression
lifting. * communication problems

Identifying and reporting Hazard
There are several ways to identify hazards in the workplace, including:

• Job analysis
• Health monitoring data
• Material safety data sheets
• Workplace environment monitoring data

Hierarchy of Controls

9.

Controls: Engineering
CONTROL AT THE SOURCE!
Limits the hazard but doesn’t entirely remove it
Other Examples:
Mechanical Guards
Wet Methods for Dust
Enclosures/Isolation
Dilution Ventilation
Proper
equipment The basic concept behind engineering controls is that, to the extent feasible, the work
environment and the job itself should be designed to eliminate hazards or reduce
exposure to hazards. While this approach is called engineering controls, it does not
necessarily mean that an engineer is required to design the control.

Controls: Administrative
Aimed at Reducing Employee Exposure to Hazards
but Not Removing Them!
 Changes in work procedures such as:
 Written safety policies/rules
 Schedule changes, such as:
 Lengthened or Additional Rest Breaks
 Job Rotation
 Adjusting the Work Pace
 Training with the goal of reducing the duration,
frequency and severity of exposure to hazards

Management Commitment
• Top management involvement
should be visible and have authority
and resources to implement
program
• Employee involvement in the
program and in decisions that affect
their safety and health should be
encouraged

15.
Copy Right© Dr. Madhu Aman Sharma
Employee Evolvement
• A clearly stated worksite policy should
be established and communicated with
specific goals and objectives.
• All aspects of the program should have
assigned responsibility and accountability.
• Program operations need to be reviewed
at least annually, to evaluate and make
revisions as needed.

16.
Copy Right© Dr. Madhu Aman Sharma
Worksite Analysis
• Identify all existing hazards and
conditions that might create new hazards
• An efficient program includes actively
analyzing the work and the worksite to
anticipate and prevent harmful
occurrences

17.
Copy Right© Dr. Madhu Aman Sharma
Hazzard Prevention & Control
• Triggered by a determination that a hazard or
potential hazard exists.
• Where feasible, prevent hazards by effective design
of job or job site.
• Where elimination is not feasible, control hazards
to prevent unsafe and unhealthful exposure.
• Elimination or control must be accomplished in a
timely manner.

18.
Copy Right© Dr. Madhu Aman Sharma
Safety and Health Training
• Address the safety and health
responsibilities of all personnel.
• Ensure that all employees understand the
hazards to which they may be exposed and
how to prevent harm to themselves and
others.
• Ensure that managers understand their
safety and health responsibilities.
