Importance of Environment,Safety and Health (EHS)
LEGAL
– All establishments, projects, and sites shall ensure a safe and
healthful workplace for all working people by affording them full
protection against all hazards in their work environment.
ECONOMICAL
– Efficient EHS management promotes productivity. Ill health
related to work can result in many days of absence. Accidents can
hinder normal operations and is a possible addition to operating
costs of company.
MORAL
– It is morally right to safeguard a worker from any kind of
harm. It is the duty of the company to provide a safe and healthy
work environment to all employees.

TYPES OF INSPECTION
General Labor Standards Inspection - to determine compliance with standards
on wages, hours of work and other ameliorative aid to workers.
General Safety and Health Standards Inspection - work environment, location and
operation of machinery, handling, storage or work procedures, protection
facilities, adequacy of work space and health hazards in the workplace
Technical Safety Inspection - Safety determination of mechanical equipment such as
boilers, pressure vessels, electrical installations, internal combustion engines,
elevators, hoisting equipment and other mechanical equipment.
INSPECTION

SAFETY – stateof being “safe”, the condition of being protected
from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury or freedom from
accidents.
Safety is a shared responsibility.
HAZARDS – an existing situation or condition that poses a
level of threat to life, health, property, or environment which
by itself or by interacting with other variables can cause accidents.
ACCIDENT – As an unplanned event that results in personal
injury or property damage.
INCIDENT – Unplanned or hazards that can be identified and
corrected before an event happens. Any event that exposes a
worker or any other person to a serious risk to person’s health or
safety.
Types of WorkplaceHazards
1. Safety Hazards
Safety Hazards are unsafe working conditions that can cause injury, illness
and death. Safety hazards are the most common workplace hazards.
They include:
o Anything that can cause spills or tripping such as cords running
across the floor or ice
Anything that can cause falls such as working from heights, including
ladders, scaffolds, roofs, or any raised work area
Unguarded machinery and moving machinery parts that a
worker can accidentally touch
Electrical hazards like frayed cords, missing ground pins, improper
wiring Confined spaces

2. Biological Hazards
BiologicalHazards include exposure to harm or disease associated with working with animals,
people, or infectious plant materials. Workplaces with these kinds of hazards include, but are not
limited to, industrial establishment, hospitals, laboratories, emergency response, nursing homes, or
various outdoor occupations.
Types of things you may be exposed to
include:
o
o
o
o
o
o
Blood and other body
fluids Fungi/mold
Bacteria and
viruses Plants
Insect bites
Animal and bird
droppings
16.
3. Physical Hazards
Physicalhazards can be any factors within the environment
that can harm the body without necessarily touching it.
They
include:
o
o
o
High exposure to sunlight / ultraviolet
rays Temperature extremes – hot and
cold Constant loud noise
17.
4. Ergonomic Hazards
Occurwhen the type of work, body positions and working conditions put a strain on your body.
They are the hardest to spot since you don’t always immediately notice the
strain on your body or the harm that these hazards pose.
Short-term exposure may result in “sore muscles” the next day or in the days following the
exposure, but long term exposure can result in serious long-term illness.
Ergonomic Hazards include:
Improperly adjusted workstations and chairs
o Frequent lifting
o Poor posture
o Awkward movements, especially if they are repetitive
o Having to use too much force, especially if you have to do it
frequently
o Vibration
18.
5. Chemical Hazards
Arepresent when a worker is exposed to any chemical preparation in the workplace in any
form (solid, liquid or gas). Some are safer than others, but to some workers who are
more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can cause illness, skin irritation, or
breathing problems.
Beware of:
o Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids, and solvents – especially if chemicals are
in an unlabeled container!
o Vapors and fumes that come from welding or exposure to solvents
o Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide and helium
o Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and explosive chemicals
o Pesticides
6. Work OrganizationHazards
Hazards or stressors that cause stress (short term effects) and strain (long term effects).
These are hazards associated with workplace issues such as workload, lack of control and/or
respect, etc.
Examples include:
o Workload demands
o Workplace violence
o Intensity and/or pace
o Respect (or lack thereof)
o Flexibility
o Control or say about
things
o Social support or
relations
o Sexual harassment
22.
Machinery Safety
There aretwo major types of hazards associated with
moving machinery:
Mechanical
Electrical
A machine guard/safety device can’t protect anything if it is
disabled, misused, or not working properly.
Remember:
Never remove or disable a machine guard or safety device.
If a guard or safety device is not working properly, don’t use
the machine or tool and have it checked and/or repaired at
the Tool Warehouse or Equipment Maintenance.
All personnel who will use any type of tool/machinery must
be trained for its safe use/operation
Machines and tools do lots of useful work to save us time and
effort – but they can’t think! Only the human operator, which is
YOU, can make them do their jobs properly and safely.
23.
a)Inspect cords andplugs regularly. If damage(s)
is/are found, have it checked by our electrician.
b)It is the responsibility of the end-user to check
his/her electrical tools/equipment prior using.
c)Unplug electrical equipment e.g. equipment, tools,
etc. when not in-use especially during
weekends and holidays.
d)Eliminate octopus connections. Do not plug
several power cords into one outlet.
e)Keep power cords away from heat, water and oil.
They can damage the insulation and cause a
shock. Moreover, never handle electrical
installations with wet hands.
