HAZARD
REPORTING

The Occupational Safety and Health

Standards (OSHS)
A set of mandatory rules on OSH which codifies
all safety orders issued prior to its promulgation
Patterned after the Standards of other
developed countries
Objective: protection of workers
Coverage: all workplaces except land sea and
air transportation, & safety in mines.

General Provisions
Rule 1005: DUTIES OF EMPLOYER
Furnish his workers a place of employment
free from hazardous conditions.
Give complete job safety instruction to all
his workers.
Comply with the requirements of the
Standards.
Use only approved devices and equipment
in his workplace.

General Provisions (Rule 1010)

DUTIES OF WORKERS
Cooperate with the employer in carrying
out the provisions of the Standards.
Report any work hazard in the workplace
Make proper use of all safeguards and
safety devices furnished in accordance
with the
provisions of OSHS for his protection and
the
protection of others.
Follow all instructions by the employer in
compliance with the OSHS provisions

RULE 1040 - Health and Safety

Committee
mandates that a Safety
and Health Committee
be organized in every
place of employment
OSHS recommends an
annual re-organization
of the Health and Safety
Committee

HSC is a group of
employees and
management that
plans and develops
policies in all matters
pertaining to safety
and health in the
workplace.

What is the employees role in safety?

Follow all safety

procedures as detailed in
specs.

Report all safety hazards

and violations.

Ensure all employees

(including contractors and
vendors) comply with
safety procedures.

What Is A Safety Violation?

A situation in which:

The task being performed

contradicts the stated policy,
training, or good common sense
(not wearing proper PPE for the
job).

Personal safety is impacted by

the way a person works (not
following specs fix equipment or
using shortcuts).

HAZARDS
Are
Unsafe
Practices
or
Conditions, that if not controlled,
may result into the occurrence
of an accident or an incident.
H.W. HEINRICH STUDY
Unsafe Practices - 88%
Unsafe Conditions - 10%

NEAR MISS
Is an undesired event which, under
slightly
different
circumstances,
could have resulted in harm to
people, damage to property, or loss
to process.

INCIDENT/ACCIDENT
Is an undesired event that results in
harm to people, damage to property
or loss to process.
It is usually a contact with a source of
energy above the threshold limit of
the body or structure.

HAZARDS

What is a Hazard ?
UNSAFE / SUBSTANDARD PRACTICES
Operating without authority
Failure to warn
Failure to secure
Making safety devices inoperable
UNSAFE / SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS
Inadequate guards or barriers
Inadequate or improper protective equipment
Defective tools or equipment

Types of Hazards
We can classify those hazards into
a few basic groups which are
customized to the workplace
environment such as -

Materials (Solid, Liquid, Gas, etc.)

Equipment (Physical, Mechanical,

Electrical, etc.)
Working Environment (Working Condition,
Working Position, etc.)
Human (Training, Fitness, Behavior, etc.)

Hazard
Management
Hierarchy of Control
1. Engineering Control

- if is not
possible, control the hazard at its source with
engineering controls

2. Administrative Control - if is still not

sufficient, or limit exposures of hazard using
administrative controls

3. PPE Used them if engineering or

administrative controls are not enough to
reduce the exposure to an acceptable level

Safety Inspection

Finding hazardous conditions and

work practices are important means
of
inspection
and
promptly
correcting them is one of the best
methods
for
management
to
prevent accidents and safeguard
employees.

Example:
Chemical
(Effects)

Hazards

Human Contact
May cause injury or illnesses

Property Damage
May cause fire and explosion
Environmental Contamination
May affect quality of air, ground and
water

Example:
Inspecting
Hazards

for

Chemical

Check containers and labels.

Chemical storage and transfer areas.
Ventilation system
Check PPE (hand gloves, respirators, etc.)
Emergency equipment

Proper labeling on chemicals

should be practice.

Chemical containers should be covered

always and with proper labeling.

MECHANICAL HAZARDS

Power Transmission points

Shear points
Point of operation
Moving Parts
Etc.

Inspecting
Hazards

for

Mechanical

Check each guard (mechanical or automatic).

Test each alarm or emergency system
(annunciators, emergency stop buttons and
jam detectors).
Caution signs and safety hazard
coding should be clearly visible.
Check guardrails, fences, and gates

Housekeeping
Your general housekeeping inspection should include at least
the following:
Aisles, stairways and walkway
Work surfaces
Stock and materials
Waste and scrap containers
Tools
Ladders
Fire protection and emergency system

Work Surface

Noise Hazards

In terms of noise, your biophysical hazard

inspection should consider:
The conditions of enclosures or sound
absorbing materials installed to reduce noise
levels.
The availability and condition of suitable
hearing protection.
Warning signs for high noise areas.

Organizing Your Own Inspection

(1) Creating Checklist
(2) Scheduling
(3) Involving Employees
(4) Conducting the Inspection
(5) Recommending Corrective Actions
(6) Communicating Inspection Results

Effectiveness of

INSPECTION
The frequency of inspection
The time allotted for each
inspection
Familiarity of inspectors in the
standards and the hazards related
to the operation and equipment in
the area
