    Finding Hazards

    10
    Job Hazards

    A job hazard is anything at work that can hurt you


    either physically or mentally.
     Safety hazards can cause immediate injuries
    • Knives, hot grease
     Chemical hazards are gases, vapors, liquids, or dusts
    that can harm your body
    • Cleaning products, pesticides

    11
    Job Hazards (continued)

     Biological hazards are living things that can cause


    sickness or disease, such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis,
    tuberculosis.
    • Bacteria, viruses
     Other health hazards are other harmful things that can
    injure you or make you sick. Some are not obvious
    because they may not cause health problems right away.
    • Noise, radiation, repetitive movements, heat, cold,
    stress, violence

    28
    Making the Job Safer: Main Points
     The best way to prevent a workplace injury or illness is to
    remove the hazard. If this can’t be done, then hazards can be
    controlled through work policies and procedures or the use of
    PPE (personal protective equipment), such as a respirator or
    hearing or eye protection.
     Personal protective equipment is not usually the best way to
    protect workers because the hazard is still there, and because
    the equipment has to fit right and be used every time.
     A good way to think about addressing hazards in the
    workplace is, “Fix the workplace, not the worker.”

    29
    Emergencies at Work

    30
    Emergencies at Work

    What is an emergency at work?


    An unplanned event that harms or threatens employees,
    customers, or the public; that shuts down business
    operations; or that causes physical or environmental
    damage

    31
    Emergency Action Plans

    Many workplaces need an emergency action plan. Workers


    should receive training on the plan.
     The plan should include information about
    • Different emergencies and how to respond
    • Locations of meeting places
    • Evacuation routes
    • Emergency equipment and alert systems
    • Key personnel (who’s in charge)
    • Procedures to follow when someone is injured
    • Individual worker responsibilities
    • Practice drills

    32
    Know Your Rights and Responsibilities

    33
    Know Your Rights: Main Points

     OHS laws protect workers from job hazards. Employers must


    provide a safe and healthy workplace, training, and safety
    equipment.
     Tell your supervisor right away if you’re injured at work! You
    can’t be fired for reporting work hazards.
     Departments of Labor enforce child labor laws. The Equal
    Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) protects
    workers from discrimination and harassment at work.
     Child labor laws protect teens from working too long, too
    late, too early, or in certain dangerous jobs.
     Young people have rights and responsibilities at work.

    34
    How to Approach a Workplace Problem

    Steps in Problem Solving


     Define the problem.
     Get advice.
     Choose your goals.
     Know your rights.
     Decide the best way to talk to the supervisor.
     Contact a state or federal Wage & Hour Division or OSHA for
    help, if necessary.
     Talk to a teacher, parent, co-worker, or other trusted adult.
