    Any real or potential conditions produced by


    industries that can cause injury or death to
    personnel or loss of product or property

    Mechanical hazards
    Chemical Hazards
    Electrical Hazards
    Fire & Explosion Hazards
    Dust Hazards

    Occurs near any moving parts of a machine


    Source of Mechanical Hazards
    The point of operation - cutting, shaping,
    boring, punching
    Power transmission apparatus- pulleys, belts,
    chains
    Other moving parts- rotating, reciprocating,
    transverse

    Prevent Contact
    Secure
    Protect from falling objects
    Allow safe lubrication

    Source of Chemical Hazards


    Vapors or

    Gases produced from solvents


    used in extraction of plants, purification of
    synthetic drugs & in chemical analysis
    Liquid chemicals if spilled on workers

    Chemical

    hazard

    pocket

    guide

    should

    be

    consulted
    No drinking, eating or smoking where chemicals
    are kept or used
    Skin should be covered with protective clothing
    Face mask may used
    Workers must be changed routinely
    Proper ventilation
    Workers should immediately be removed if any
    problem arises

    Caused as a result of contact with electric

    energy
    Electrical injuries consist of four types:

    Electrocution (Fatal), shock, burns & fall

    EFFECT OF ELECTRIC CURRENT IN


    HUMAN

    CURRENT (milliampere)

    EFFECT

    Above 10 mA

    Paralyze or freeze muscle


    (muscle become stiff)

    Above 30 mA

    Respiratory Paralysis

    Above 75 mA

    Ventricular Fibrillation
    (very rapid, ineffective
    heartbeat)

    Above 5 A

    Burning of tissues occurs

    Never pull or jerk the cord to unplug the

    equipment
    Cracked or exposed wiring must be corrected
    Electrical equipment causing shocks or which
    has leakage potential must be tagged with a
    DANGER or DO NOT USE label.

    Types of fire:
    Class A Fires ordinary combustible materials
    Class B Fires flammable petroleum products
    Class C Fires energized electrical equipment
    Class D Fires combustible metals
    Fire Extinguishers:
    Fire extinguishing agents work by:
    Removal of fuel by blanketing with foam
    By removal of oxygen by diluting with inert gases or
    vapour
    By removal of heat by cooling

    Sources of dust hazards


    Grinding or milling
    Weighing
    Powder mixing
    Coating operation
    Capsule filing and tablet punching operation

    Filtration : Filter medium like paper, felt,

    wool, cotton and nylon


    Inertial Separator: eg- Cyclone Separator
    Electrostatic Precipitators: consists of metal
    tubes though which a conductor wire is
    passed. Several thousand volts of DC current
    is applied on the metal wire. When dust air is
    passed through the pipes the dust particals
    becomes charged & precipitates.
