PART A

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PRACTICE

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is known as multidisciplinary field concerned


with the safety, health, and welfare of people at work. The goal of occupational safety and
health programs is to foster a safe and healthy work environment. OSH goals also to protect
co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and many others who might be affected
by the workplace environment.

In common-law jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take reasonable


care of the safety of their employees. Statute law may in addition impose other general duties,
introduce specific duties, and create government bodies with powers to regulate workplace
safety issues. The details of this vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

The main focus in occupational health is on four different objectives:

1. Maintenance and promotion of employee’s health and working capacity.


2. Improvement of working environment and work to become conducive to safety and
health.
3. Development of work organizations and working cultures in a direction which
supports health and safety at work.
4. Promotes a positive social climate and smooth operation and may enhance
productivity of the undertakings.

The supervisors are responsible for:
• Provide the PPE for employees.
• Ensuring PPE is available.
• Ensuring PPE is being used by each affected employee during all job tasks
which require such protection.
• Conducting specific hazard assessments for personal protective equipment use
upon request.
• Documenting purchase and distribution of all PPE.

The Environmental Health and Safety is responsible for:

• Assessing the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be


present, which necessitates the use of PPE.
• Communicating selection decisions to each affected employee and supervisor.
• Selecting and recommending PPE that properly fits each affected employees.
• Providing training in the proper use and care of PPE.

Employees are responsible for:

• Inspecting all PPE prior to its use


• Wearing PPE upon the direction of their immediate supervisor
• Participating in mandatory training
• Notifying their supervisor when new PPE is necessary
• Contacting Environmental Health and Safety when a hazard or process has
changed which may render previously used PPE ineffective
• Notifying their supervisor of any changes which might impact the type of PPE
they utilize

PPE devices alone shall not be relied on to provide protection against hazards, but shall be
used in conjunction with guards, engineering controls, administrative controls and sound
manufacturing practices.

9
2.2 SAFETY TRAINING

Education and training are important tools for informing workers and managers about
workplace hazards and controls so that all of the workers can work more safely and be more
productive. Another role of education and training is to provide workers and managers with a
greater understanding of the safety and health program itself, so that all of workers can
contribute to the development and implementation of the company.

Education and training provides employers, managers, supervisors, and workers with:

 Knowledge and skills needed to do their work safely and avoid creating hazards that
could place themselves or others at risk.
 Awareness and understanding of workplace hazards and how to identify, report, and
control them.
 Specialized training, when their work involves unique hazards.

Additional training may be needed depending on the roles assigned to employers or


individual managers, supervisors, and workers. For this company the training that have been
provided for a new employees only about three days before starting working. This might
seems too short for a training, but due to high quality of safety equipment of each machine,
the possibility for an employees to get hurt is lower.

The reason why this company only took three days for training new employees because of
those reason:

 Effective training and education can be provided outside a formal classroom setting.
 Peer-to-peer training, on-the-job training, and worksite demonstrations can be
effective in conveying safety concepts.
 Understanding of hazards and controls be more functional during working hour and
 Good work practices from senior employees are more influencing to new employees.

10
2.3 INSTRUCTION AND SUPERVISION OF WORKERS

Supervision is a process that involves a manager meeting regularly and interacting


with other employee to review their work. It is carried out as required by legislation,
regulation, guidance, standards, inspection requirements and requirements of the provision
and the service. The purpose is to monitor tasks and workload, solve problems, support
workers in dealing with complex situations and moral and ethical dilemmas and to promote
staff development.

Supervision goals is to provide responsibility for both the supervisor and supervisee
exploring practice and performance. It also enhances and provides additional evidence for
annual performance management and review. Supervision has a specified focus on
developing the supervisee on achieving better outcomes for people who use services and
careers.

Acceptable supervision includes:

• Ensuring proper training of workers.

• Observing workers after training to ensure that they continue to follow safe work
procedures.

• Making informal inspections on a daily basis to ensure safe work procedures re being
followed, including the proper use of protective equipment, devices, and clothing
provided.

• Enforcing safety rules and safe work procedures.

• Conducting informal discussions (crew talks) with workers to discuss specific safety
issues as they arise

11
2.4 WORKPLACE INSPECTIONS

A workplace inspection is a planned event in which the workplace is inspected to


identify potential hazards.Creating a safe work environment is critical to the success of the
business, and is one of the best ways to retain staff and maximize productivity.

Even though, it may cost to implement safe practices and install safety equipment, the
effect of not taking action can be severe. Through critical examination of the workplace,
inspections identify and record hazards for corrective action. Regular workplace inspections
are an important part of the overall occupational health and safety program.

Regular inspections of the workplace are intended to:

• Identify conditions and unsafe acts with the potential to cause injury or disease
• Determine necessary corrective measures
• Prevent unsafe work conditions from developing

Three different kinds of inspections are described below:

• Regular, planned workplace inspections: They inspect buildings, structures,


grounds, excavations, tools, equipment, machinery, and work methods and
practices for hazards that might cause injury or disease.

The government's priorities for scheduling OSHA inspections are as follows:

 Investigation of close dangers: Any conditions or practices that could reasonably be


expected to cause death or serious physical harm to employees immediately or before
enforcement action could be taken (these investigations are conducted within 24 hours).
 Fatality and catastrophe investigations: Any work-related incident that results in the
death of an employee or the in-patient hospitalization of three or more employees (such
incidents must be reported to the nearest OSHA office by telephone or in person within
eight hours of the incident).
 Investigations of complaints: For example, complaints made by employees, and
referrals.
 Programmed inspections: Regularly scheduled inspections in "high hazard" industries.
12
PART B
ANALYSIS OF HAZARD

Hazard analysis is the process of recognizing hazards that may arise from a system or


its environment, documenting their unwanted consequences and analyzing their potential
causes.

PART D
THE ESTIMATED COST OF PRACTICING OSH

Accident at workplaces can result injuries, loss of life and properties damage. Both
the person involved in accident and the employer may lose their income or profit due to extra
costs incurred and increasing of various types of expenses in company operation. Accident
costs normally are higher than most people expected because of the indirect cost or hidden
costs incurred.

These costs should be avoided by reducing accident rates through implementation of


an effective safety and health program in preventing accident in the workplace. Other benefits
include reduced absenteeism, lower turnover and higher productivity of the company.
Estimates of the costs to employers could, therefore, motivate and increase their awareness to
act and to reduce accident rate. For this reason, DOSH developed this calculator to assist
employer to estimate the accident costs and also to increase awareness of the costs to
employers of workplace.

27
6.2 Providing a safe workplace

AUTOKEEN provides a safe workplace by implementing a health and safety plan that is
based on reasonably practicable factory safety practice. This includes an annual inspection of
all factory buildings, structures, machinery and equipment to identify hazards, assess risk,
control risk and review the effectiveness of controls put in place.

We aim to eliminate hazards or use engineering controls to protect workers from identified
and potential hazards. These will be backed up by ensuring employees are trained and use
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided.

6.3 Identifying Hazards

An annual inspection is conducted for hazards such as tractors, stamping machine, spot
welding robotic arm, workshops, vehicle, chemical substances and many more.

An annual inspection is conducted each year and will involve all employees. The manager is
responsible for managing the health and safety of all workers (contractors and employees).
The results of the audits and control options will be considered by our workers at our safety
meetings.

Records of factory safety inspections and health and safety audits are kept in the factory
office.

6.4 Risk Assessment

A risk assessment is undertaken for all identified high and medium risk hazards to worker
health and safety.

Risk assessment is based on principles that take into account the severity of the potential
injury, the degree of exposure to the risk and the likelihood of harm occurring. The records of
the risk assessments are located with the hazard inspections in the office.

28
29
6.5 Risk Control

Risk control measures that are reasonably practicable are used for all hazards identified at the
workplace. These are based on safety guides, Codes of Practice and Work Health and Safety
Regulations.

Control measures are prioritized using the hierarchy of control. Hazards with high and
medium risk of harm to workers on the factory will be eliminated wherever reasonably
practicable.

30
WORKING SAFELY
 Reporting hazards and unsafe work practices

All workers (employees and contractors) are asked to report any hazards or unsafe work
practices. These may also be reported at safety meetings. Workers are:

 Required to comply with all our reasonable efforts in providing a safe factory. This
includes working responsibly so they do not adversely affect the health and safety of
other employees, contractors and visitors.

 Report hazards and are encouraged to suggest methods of controlling risk when they
identify a hazard.

 Not to perform any work or use any machinery that is not properly guarded or in safe
working order.

 To use all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided by the company. If PPE is
either not suitable or damaged, bring it to our attention and it will be replaced.

 Report all work injury and serious near miss incidents.

If you believe the job, machine, plant or equipment is unsafe and may cause injury to yourself
or others - DO NOT DO IT, DO NOT TAKE RISKS.

 Consultation

We hold regular health and safety meetings with all workers to consider and review health
and safety practice in this business and resolve health and safety issues as they arise. The
process regularly reports hazards, identifies safety training needs and issues identified by
workers.
There are many ways to engage staff in Workplace Health and Safety (WHS).

31
For example : seasonal or monthly tool box talks or staff meeting, weekly toolbox talk or
staff meetings or annual WHS inspection/hazard checklist and safety action planning.

On AUTOKEEN staff are consulted on all health and safety matters: (AUTOKEEN describe
how the business regularly consults with workers and how you record the WHS information
discussed). Our workers (employees and contractors) are made aware of these consultation
arrangements during our safety induction.

We will also work closely with workers to resolve in a timely manner, any issues or problems
relating to health and safety. If an issue cannot be resolved, the company will consult with a
relevant industrial association. These consultation arrangements are reviewed annually during
the review of our health and safety program.

 Health and Safety Committee

AS part of the WHS legislation workers can request the establishment of a safety committee -
Health and safety committees allow businesses (and other PCBUs) to work together with
workers on health and safety matters.

A health and safety committee can be established on your own initiative or at the request of:

 a health and safety representative or


 five or more workers at the workplace

 Safety Induction

All AUTOKEEN employees will have a written Job Description and Duty Statement that
outlines their safety responsibilities when working for AUTOKEEN. Prior to starting work,
all workers (employees and contractors) will receive a general safety induction into the
company’s business operations.

Further job specific safety instruction and training will be given in the safe operation of all
machinery and equipment that a worker will use to perform their work. No employee or

32
contractor is to operate any machinery or use equipment that they are not authorized or
trained to operate.

33
 Training

Before performing any job or using any machinery/equipment, we will assess our
employee’s skills to ensure that they can do the job safely.

 Workers must not operate a machine which they have not been trained or
instructed to use e.g. High Risk Work License for forklifts.

 Employees will be supervised while training in the safe operation of all plant and
machinery.

 All plant and machinery must be operated as directed by the manufacturer’s


Operators Handbook or as described in Safe Work Statement.

 A record of all workplace training will be maintained in a Training Register


located in the factory office.

 Instruction

All employees will be given instruction for work and jobs to be done safely. If you do not
understand any instruction or directions given to you, please ask for a clearer explanation or
demonstration of work or jobs to be performed. All workers are required to follow
instructions given to them by the factory manager. If you have not been trained or instructed
to use machinery or equipment to carry out your work, do not use it.

 Supervision

All new employees will be supervised until they can demonstrate that they can operate the
machine or do the job safely.

Your safety can be monitored and supervised using two way radios or mobile phones. We
have considered the types of emergencies that may occur and have planned for them. When

34
work is being done alone or at night, we will ensure that you have a two-way radio or mobile
phone.
