G8- Safety Inspection Flashcards
(44 cards)
is an important step in averting accidents by identifying and reporting existing and potential hazardous conditions in workplaces, including construction sites
Health and Safety Inspection
Crucial for maintaining a safe working environment, preventing accidents, and ensuring compliance with legal and industry standards.
Health and Safety Inspection
What are the key reasons of health and safety inspection?
- Prevent Accidents and Injuries
- Ensure Compliance with Regulations
- Increase Productivity and Efficiency
- Protect Workers’ Well-being
- Minimize Financial Losses
What are the risk and hazards in health and safety inspection?
- Working at Heights
- Moving Objects
- Slips, Trips, and Falls
- Noise
- Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome
- Material Handling
- Excavations
- Asbestos
- Electricity
- Airborne Materials
- Site Security
What are the safety precautions when working at heights?
Wearing of safety harness, providing safety net, and provide scaffold.
To reduce the risk of moving objects, workers should?
Wear hard hat and high visibility jacket, never stand behind machines, never stand under suspended loads, avoid working close to moving objects, and have a banksman.
guide the vehicles in the construction site.
Banksman
What causes slip and trips?
uneven terrain and weather disturbances
must effectively manage the site to avoid the risk of injuring the workers, risks should always be reported and sorted.
Site Supervisors
To reduce harm in slips, trips, and falls, one should?
Provide obstruction-free operatives, Keep work areas tidy, put stones on slippery surface, signpost slippery surface, and wear good footwear with good grip.
Can cause long term hearing problems, such as deafness.
Noise
Workers working with equipment and machineries must wear
hearing protection
must be carried out where the risk assessment has highlighted a noise hazard with the works to be undertaken.
Comprehensive Noise Risk Assessment
Is a debilitating and painful disease of the blood vessels, nerves, and joints caused by the continued use of hand held power tools (vibratory and ground)
Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome
carries a degree of risk whether manually or by equipment.
Material handling
training must be provided to ensure safety
Manual Handling
there are a lot of risks especially when operating on uneven ground. Employees must be trained to operate safely.
Lifting Equipment Handling
Safety measures for excavations are:
ensure an excavation is supported and fully secure, regularly inspect, Edge protection must be 100% intact, and maintain a safe distance.
is banned in the Philippines, however, the use of white (chrysotile) asbestos is still being used in roofing materials and friction.
asbestos
White Asbestos
Chrysotile
When damaged, it releases these fibers into the air, and once inhaled, it causes severe and fatal disease such as lung cancer.
Asbestos
Accidents from this are caused from contact with overload or underground power cables.
Electricity
To lessen risk in electricity, stay at least ____________ from overhead power lines.
10 feet away
happens when excavation is undertaken without checking the ground for existing services and can be avoided by using technology such as CAT and genny scanning.
