    I. Read and comprehend: answer briefly

    1.What are common hazards at construction site?

     Moving objects.
     Slips, trips, and falls.
     Collapsing trenches.
     Electricity.
     Hand arm vibration syndrome.
     Material and manual handling.
     Slips, trips, and falls.
     Asbestos.
     Electricity.
     Noise.
     Airborne fibres and materials.
     Working at height.

    2.What are hazard controls?

     There are different kinds of hazard controls a hazard control consists of all steps necessary to
    protect workers from exposure to a substance or system, the training and the procedures
    required to monitor worker exposure and their health to hazards such as chemicals, materials or
    substance, or other types of hazards such as noise and vibration.

    3.What are ways to stay awake at work?

     On my own way, sleep properly, don’t drink strong coffee to avoid adrenaline rush or shaking
    hands that can affect a specific work, have a proper exercise and motivate yourself. Also make a
    work routine, this depends on your capabilities or habits.

    4.What is risk assessment?

     risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those things, situations,
    processes, etc. that may cause harm, particularly to people. After identification is made, you
    analyze and evaluate how likely and severe the risk is. When this determination is made, you
    can next, decide what measures should be in place to effectively eliminate or control the harm
    from happening.
    5. What is the difference between a job safety analysis (JSA) and risk analysis?

     they do sound quite similar; the most important difference is that a job safety analysis looks at
    job-specific risks while the risk assessment looks at a bigger picture. The risk assessment will
    identify risks throughout the facility, and not just those that may directly impact an employee.
    The main difference between a JSA and risk assessment is scope. A JSA involves specific job risks
    and typically focuses on the risks associated with each step of that task. A risk assessment gives
    a higher-level or broader view of all operational risks across and entire business, project or type
    of activity.

    II. Enumerate the First aid kit requirements: OSHA

     Conduct a risk assessment and design a first aid program specific to your worksite(s)
     Estimate Emergency Medical Response times for all locations and all times of day and night
     Put policies and procedures in writing, and communicate to all employees on a regular basis
     Address first aid training needs. First-aid courses should be individualized to the needs of the
    workplace. First-aid training should be repeated periodically to maintain and update knowledge
    and skills. Outdated training and reference materials should be replaced or removed.
     Designate a first aid leader. Give a specific person the responsibility for choosing the types and
    amounts of first-aid supplies and for maintaining these supplies.
     Supplies should reflect the kinds of injuries that occur at your workplace
     Supplies must be stored in an area where they are readily available for emergency access.
     Review the first-aid program periodically to determine if it continues to address the needs of the
    workplace.
     Monitor changes in workplace safety, health hazards, and worker schedules. Training, supplies,
    equipment and first-aid policies should be added or modified to account for any of these
    changes at your company.
     Consider an automated external defibrillator (AED) when selecting first-aid supplies and
    equipment.
     Consult with the local fire and rescue service or emergency medical professionals may be
    beneficial.
