3. Temperature Hazard :
Heat Stress
Acclimatisation to working in hot environments takes a few weeks to develop, but only a few days to run down. In hot environments take it easy especially after holidays or long periods in air conditioned rooms(training seminar). People in air conditioned offices or colder climates must take steps to prevent heat stress (resting, drinking water etc) when visiting hotter climates and not try to keep up with the locals. NB: heat stress can quickly develop into heat stroke which can be fatal. Act early if you are feeling unwell.
23
There was no immediate danger, but the shock result of the flow of electricity can be dangerous Painful shock Let-go current for women Let-go current for men Local muscle contractions. Freezing to the conductor for 2,5% of the population. Local muscle contractions. Freezing to the conductor for 50% of the population. Fainting. More than 3 minutes it will result in death Contact more than ¼ seconds can cause fibrillation of the heart & death The heart stops for a contact and can cause death.
24
Factors that influence:
sound pressure level Type noise (wide band, narrow band, or impulse Duration of daily exposure Total duration of exposure (number of years) Age of the individual.
Crushing: body, head, foot, hand crushed by a hard object Breaking: Agency / bone destroyed by machines used to crush a material. Broken bone is called the fracture Straining: Muscles interested Pucturing: Body terlubangi a sharp object and damage internal organs.
26
Stress
Causes Hazard: Level of difficulty of work, excessive demands on workers Excessive supervision Feelings of wellbeing and security for working families Security work, possibly fired Work too much Lack of encouragement from superiors or coworkers Unsafe environment.
27
Cause Fall: The existence of an unknown object in place on foot. Usually the objects that are not in place. Design of a damaged at work Slippery surfaces Personal condition that is not balanced / healthy
In America nearly more than 10,000 workers died from falls. More than 16% of workers who had an accident and could not work anymore due to falls.
28
Around 46,000 accidents due to improper lifting back Accidents due to lift has resulted in 100 million lost working hours every year. Most insurance claims to reach 20% of all accidents in the workplace Accident Backs Accident backbone, apart from the lift, also from sitting and bending the spine.
29
The types of radiation: microwave radiation, laser, heat, light infra red, sanar ultraviolet, X rays, rays, and radioactive radiation. Danger: health disorders, organ damage, paralysis, gene mutation, sterility and even death.
30
Employees (workers) were told of the dangers of radiation since the beginning of their work and be trained in safe and healthy working. The tools that emit radiation or laser in place of the special room, do not enter the room unless authorized. The room contains a shield-shield is very useful to avoid radiation toxins. Workers use protective clothing with very strict conditions. The controllers closely monitor the behavior of workers to work safely. Regular health check whether affected by radiation or not, it is done before and after work, in addition to existing checks periodically.
ENGINEERING Exhaust hot and high water vapour air from building. Increase air flow Install barriers to reflect radiant heat Use power tools to save manual labour Erect temporary shade cloths if working outside
WORK PRACTICES Plan your day around coolest times Take adequate rest periods Cycle jobs (hot, not so hot, hot...........) Leave heavy work to cooler part of day Spend as little time in direct sun as possible
33
CLOTHING Loose fitting clothing aids evaporative cooling Remove hard hats when not required DRINKING WATER Have good quality, cool water readily available (add minimal flavouring if required). If sweating more than 5L, add some drinking salts to your water
All electrical equipment is to be identified and documented
on an Electrical Register.
All equipment on the register must be checked periodically
by an Electrician.
This does not mean that the piece of equipment you are
about to use is in good working order. YOU should check everything every time you want to use it.
Electrical registers are audited under the SH&E program. Do you check your own electrical equipment at home ????

1. Put it down gently after the working
part has stopped revolving. 2. If drilling or grinding, work to be fixed securely in place with clamps or vice. . old tools firmly when at start up as there may be an anti rotational kick. 4. Be prepared to resist the turning effort of tools that can grip or jam.
5. Fire Safety And Evacuation
All Orica sites have emergency and evacuation plans and assembly points. Learn the plans for the places where you will be working and your role in an emergency. Some sites have fire wardens who, once the alarm is raised, take charge and co-ordinate. coFire Training is conducted. Be a participant. Fires involving explosives should not be fought ³EVACUATE´.
38
Fire Safety And Evacuation
Fires involving Ammonium Nitrate or Emulsion Phase AN and EP do not burn on their own, however, they do support and intensify combustion of other materials. Confined AN and EP in a burning situation is very hazardous and can detonate
A decision whether to fight the fire or evacuate must be made as quickly as possible. AN and EP contain oxygen so normal extinguishers will not affect them. Any fire involving AN or EP will require special attention. Assess immediately and be prepared to evacuate, 1000 metres minimum. Fire and evacuation training at regional plants is a very high priority
PLAN
Determine whether you are able to lift it. Decide if you need assistance Check the route
Lift
with legs not with Ridge
Back straight, curved heel Keep feet as close as possible with an appointed body Focus on things that appointed position When lifted, stomach is not bent upright
Press not Pull Reduce pressure on your lower back, do not you pull that thing removed. Use the lever if necessary

Safety Must Never Be Compromised For Any Reason
Tool Box Talks - weekly informal safety meeting Safety Meetings - monthly - plants, bi-monthly office SH&E Weekly - see Noticeboards SH&E Plans - Annual plans for office & plants Audits - world class, engineering, BOS, on bench
SH&E - Everyone·s Responsibility
It is everyone's responsibility to work safely. Whatever observations you make of the people working around you, you must be comfortable about the situation you are witnessing. If you witness an unsafe act, and do nothing about it, then effectively you have just become party to that act. If you see and ignore an unsafe act, then you have set a standard that others may believe is acceptable. If you do an unsafe act in front of your workmates, then you condone the act and have set a precedent for others to follow. Remember, the standard you walk past, is the standard you get.
