PartnersHiP

the company fulfils health and safety requirements of local and national projects as well as some in the netherlands and czech republic. the main aim of setting up and running the company was to increase awareness of health and safety and its influence on work comfort and conditions among employees and employers.

ohirko’s team comprises young, experienced and well educated health and safety training professionals. the company’s expertise ranges from health and safety to Hr consultancy and accounting services. Within

health and safety the company specialises in HaacP certification, fire fighting and paramedic courses. recently, ohirko has developed a range of publications and short e-learning courses. Years of experience in course delivery has provided ohirko with a genuine understanding of the importance of adjusting the means of communication to suit the customer, including the use of visual aids and activities.

ohirko’s objective is to educate corporate clients about the benefits of increasing health and safety awareness among their

employees. over time, the damages linked to moral, economic and legal costs of accidents and ill health among their clients have decreased; this demonstrates the fact that companies which invested time and effort into creating a healthier and safer working environment benefited tremendously. ohirko is working hard to ensure this improvement continues.

the demand for well qualified health and safety professionals has increased since Poland joined the eu in 2004. the employment in Western european countries

was no longer a barrier and Polish workers realised the potential in working abroad. not all qualifications gained in Poland are recognised abroad, so it became necessary to provide health and safety courses locally which would lead to internationally recognised standards like iosH or neBosH. achieving these certificates before travelling, or when applying for jobs, increases the chances of Polish workers getting employment.

Born from a family business set up over 20 years ago, ohirko.PL was established in 2006. its health and safety consultancy and training activities cover a wide range of subjects including manufacturing, construction, transport, logistics, tourism and hospitality.

Element IC1: General Workplace Issues

Safety SignsThe standardisation of safety signs throughout workplaces is essential to ensure that safety signs, wherever they are seen, have the same meaning.

Common Signs and Their Use, Location and Compliance• Safety signs include:

– Illuminated signs. – Hand and acoustic signals (e.g. fire alarms). – Traditional signboards (e.g. prohibition and

warning signs). – Marking of pipework containing dangerous

substances. – Fire safety signs.

• The employer should provide specific safety signs whenever there is a risk which has not been avoided or controlled by other means, e.g. by engineering controls and safe systems of work.

• Where a safety sign would not help to reduce a risk, or where the risk is not significant, there is usually no need to provide a sign (unless mandated by law).

As illustrative examples we will look at five types of signs (Prohibition, Mandatory, Safe Condition, Warning and Fire Safety) used in the European region. Even if your regional signs are different, the principles involved will be similar.

Prohibition Signs• These are round with a white background and red

border and cross bar.

• Symbols must be black and placed centrally on the background without obliterating the cross bar.

• The sign means that something must not be done.

No Smoking Not Drinkable

No Access for Pedestrians No Access for Industrial Vehicles

Prohibition Signs

Mandatory SignsMandatory signs are round with a blue background and white symbol. This sign states what protective equipment must be worn.

Eyes Head

Ears Respiratory

Mandatory Signs

Safe Condition SignsSometimes called “Emergency” Signs.

These are square or oblong with white symbols on a green background and indicate such safe conditions as a first-aid post or emergency evacuation route.

Revision Questions

1. Identify the requirements to ensure a suitable system of maintenance.

2. What are the requirements regarding the condition of floors and traffic/routes?

3. Identify six key elements to good housekeeping.

4. What is meant by ‘acceptable temperature’?

5. What are the requirements for adequate lighting?

6. Identify the symptoms of visual fatigue.

7. If a person has to wear special clothing for work, what type of facilities should be provided for changing purposes?

8. What criteria should an employer adopt when deciding what first-aid provision should be made?

9. Explain the circumstances under which an employer should provide safety signs.

10. Describe the shape and colour of: prohibition, mandatory, safe condition, and warning signs.

(Suggested Answers are at the end of Unit IC.)

Labelling of PipeworkPipework and pipelines containing dangerous substances should be identified and marked, including at, for example, sampling, filling and discharge points (where employees are likely to be exposed to the contents). Often the same symbols or pictograms as those seen on containers of dangerous substances are used, but using triangular-shaped warning signs. These are usually available either as labels or marking tapes.

Corrosive Material Flammable Material

Explosive Material Toxic MaterialLabelling Pipework

• Pipelines transporting a hazardous medium must be identified with the correct, relevant danger signal.

• Colour coding is also commonly used to identify pipelines. For example, the current European standard colour groups are:

– Green for water. – Grey for steam. – Blue for air. – Yellow for gases. – Mauve for acids and alkalis. – Brown for oils and combustible liquids. – Black for other liquids. – Red for fire-fighting.

Labelling of Stores• Stores and areas containing significant quantities of

dangerous substances should be identified by the appropriate warning sign (the same signs as are used for marking pipework).

• However, labelling of stores is not generally necessary if:

– They hold very small quantities. – The labels on the containers can be seen clearly

from outside the store.

Warning SignsWarning signs are triangular with a black border and a black pictogram on a yellow background.

Flammable Material Explosive

Radioactive Overhead LoadsWarning Signs

Fire Safety SignsIn general fire safety signs fall into one of two categories:

• Those providing information on means of escape and which take the form of a ‘Safe Condition’.

• Those identifying the location of fire equipment, e.g. ‘Alarm Point’, ‘Fire Extinguisher’.

In Europe, a fire safety sign must at least contain a pictogram (though it may also contain the text as well).

Acceptable Fire Safety Sign

Fire equipment signs are square or rectangular in shape with a white pictogram on a red background.

Fire Extinguisher Fire HoseFire Equipment Signs

Use/Location of Signboards• Signboards should generally be installed in a position

appropriate to the line of sight, either at the access point to the area of a general hazard or in the immediate vicinity of a specific hazard.

• Signs should be clearly visible in a well-lit position.

• Illuminated signs should be provided with emergency lighting power where the situation is likely to interfere with the main power supply, i.e. emergency exits.

• Placing too many signs close together should be avoided.

• Signs should be removed when or if the situation to which they refer no longer exists.

Signs Marking Obstacles, Dangerous Locations and Traffic Routes• Where the risk is low or it is impractical to safeguard

by other means, then obstacles or dangerous locations should be marked, e.g. the edge of a loading platform, or danger zone adjacent to a process.

• In some regions this can be achieved by the use of yellow and black (or red and white) angled stripes.

Inspection Pit with Clearly Marked Edges

• In cases where clearly defined traffic routes are necessary, they should be marked using continuous lines (commonly yellow or white); standard road traffic signs and markings should be used in outdoor areas to control vehicles and pedestrians.

• Dangerous locations (e.g. where people may slip, fall from heights, or where there is low headroom) and traffic routes may also have to be marked.



Confined Spaces

• Confined spaces are defined by the possibility of a foreseeable specified risk, so the types of specified risk give us some indication of what might constitute a confined space in a work situation.

• In assessing the risk from working in a confined space we need to consider:

– The need to enter the confined space at all. – The provision and maintenance of a safe atmosphere. – The task, materials and equipment. – The persons at risk. – The reliability of safeguards in place.

• Employers must provide a safe system of work, and this is vital when carrying out confined space entry and work so safe working practices must include:

– Permit-to-work systems. – Emergency arrangements. – Training for work in confined spaces.

Key Information

Conditions that Constitute a Confined SpaceConfined spaces are recognised as workplaces that can be particularly hazardous. Consequently they are closely regulated by safety standards such as those set out in the UK Confined Spaces Regulations and the OSHA Occupational Safety and Health standards relating to permit-required confined spaces (1910.146).

Work in a sewer can present a confined space risk

Jargon Buster

Confined SpaceAny place, including any chamber, tank, vat, silo, pit, trench, pipe, sewer, flue, well or other similar space in which, by virtue of its enclosed nature, there arises a reasonably foreseeable specified risk.

Specified Risk• A serious risk of injury to any person at work

arising from a fire or explosion.

• The loss of consciousness of any person at work arising from an increase in body temperature.

• The loss of consciousness or asphyxiation of any person at work arising from gas, fume, vapour or the lack of oxygen.

• The drowning of any person at work arising from an increase in the level of a liquid.

• The asphyxiation of any person at work arising from a free flowing solid or the inability to reach a respirable environment due to entrapment by a free flowing solid.

Free Flowing SolidAny substance consisting of solid particles and which is of, or is capable of being in, a flowing or running consistency; includes flour, grain, sugar, sand or other similar materials.

Element 2: Transport Hazards and Risk Control

Hazards From Workplace Transport Operations When vehicles move around in workplaces they are a hazard to pedestrians, to other vehicles (and their occupants) and to the driver (and other occupants). Vehicle accidents are responsible for many serious and fatal injuries and also cause a significant amount of property and equipment damage. You will find the various hazards listed below, along with some typical conditions and environments in which each hazard might arise.

Loss of Control and OverturningA driver may lose control of their vehicle for various reasons:

• Driver error (e.g. driving too fast).

• Environmental conditions (e.g. mud on the road).

• Mechanical failure (e.g. brakes fail).

Depending on the type of vehicle being driven, this loss of control may result in a skid, collision or overturn of the vehicle.

Some vehicles, because of their design or environment of use, are more likely to overturn than others. Forklift trucks (with a very short and narrow wheel base) and dumper trucks (with a high centre of gravity and used on rough terrain) are frequently involved in overturn accidents.

Forklift truck

• Vehicle operations are a hazard to the vehicle driver, as well as pedestrians, other drivers and passengers. Common accidents involve vehicle overturn, and collisions with pedestrians, other vehicles or fixed structures.

• These hazards can be controlled through the risk assessment process and by careful management of the workplace environment, the vehicles and the drivers.

• The workplace environment should be designed, constructed and maintained to allow safe vehicle movement and to separate vehicles from pedestrians.

• Vehicles should be suitable for their intended use and workplace environment and maintained in safe working order.

• Drivers should be appropriately qualified, medically fit and given information, instruction, training and supervision.

Element IB10: Ergonomic Factors

• Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker with the objective of improving their comfort, safety and productivity and should consider the:

– Worker. – Work equipment. – Local environment.

• Lack of attention to ergonomic principles can result in the following conditions:

– Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULDS). – Musculoskeletal problems.

• Risk reduction measures rely on:

– Ergonomic design of tools, equipment and workplaces. – Job rotation. – Adjusting the work routine. – Training.

Ergonomics

Key Information

Jargon Buster

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker with the objective of improving their comfort, safety and productivity. It involves the application of anatomical, physiological and psychological knowledge to the practical aspects of work, such that tasks may be fitted to the needs of the person.

This involves putting the person at the heart of both task and workstation design, and building the working environment around his/her needs, rather than fitting the person into a pre-designed working environment built around the needs of the task.

The starting point for this is to see the work setting as being made up of three elements:

• A worker with a range of physical and mental characteristics – size, strength, range of motion, intellect, expectations, etc.

• Physical objects comprising the furniture, working equipment (DSE, tools, etc.), working surfaces and parts used in the task.

• The local environment created by physical conditions such as lighting, temperature, noise, vibration, etc., as well as the organisational culture

and management which determines interpersonal relationships, attitudes towards work, etc. in the workplace.

The interaction of these elements determines the manner in which the task may be performed, and it is this interaction which needs to be optimised in order to ensure maximum comfort, safety and productivity.

Lack of Attention to Ergonomic Principles The following conditions are likely to result from lack of attention to ergonomic principles.

Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders (WRULDs)Work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs) affect the soft connecting tissues, muscles and nerves of the hand, wrist, arm and shoulder. Severity may vary from occasional aches, pains and discomfort of the affected part through to well defined and specific disease or injury. Loss of function may result in reduced work capacity.

Upper limb disorders arise from ordinary movements, such as forceful repetitive gripping, twisting, reaching or moving. The hazard is created by prolonged repetition, often in a forceful and awkward manner, without sufficient rest or recovery time. Consequently, a range of occupations may be affected including production-line workers, packers, painters and machine operators.

Unit IGC2 – Element 4 | 4-12 © RRC Training

Element 4: Work Equipment Hazards and Risk Control

Adjustable and Self-Adjusting GuardsAdjustable and self-adjusting guards are used when it is not possible to completely prevent access to dangerous parts. They are commonly used to safeguard woodworking and metalworking machinery where a workpiece has to be fed into the machine or manipulated during machine use.

An adjustable guard can be set to a range of positions by the operator depending on the nature of the workpiece and the operation being carried out. For example, the top guard on a bench-mounted circular saw can be set at a range of heights depending on the size of wood being cut.

Adjustable guard over blade of bench-mounted circular saw; the guard covers most of the blade, but a section remains exposed so

that wood can be fed through

A self-adjusting guard does the same thing but is sprung loaded or linked to other machine parts. As the machine operates the guard adjusts automatically to fit the workpiece. It does not require the operator to set it to the right position.

Self-adjusting guard on a crosscut mitre saw; as the saw moves down the guard retracts to expose the blade

Main limitations with adjustable and self-adjusting guards:

• Do not completely prevent access to dangerous parts.

• Very easy to defeat.

• Rely 100% on operator competence.

Interlocked GuardsAn interlocked guard is a protective device designed to be removed as a normal part of routine machine operation. The guard is intended to allow frequent access to a machine or danger zone by removing the power source and preventing the equipment from operating while the guard is open. When the guard is removed a safety interlock system prevents machine operation. For example, a microwave oven has a hinged door on the front to allow easy access; this door is interlocked so that power to the microwave generator is shut off when it is open.

Basic principles of an interlocked guard:

• Power to the machine is disabled and the machine will not operate until the guard is in place.

• Either the guard is locked shut until it is safe for the guard to open, or the act of opening the guard stops the dangerous parts and disables power.

Many machines are fitted with interlocked doors which when opened bring the moving parts to an immediate stop (e.g. photocopier). However, some machines cannot be stopped in this way and it is then preferable to use an interlocked guard that locks shut and can only be opened once the danger has passed (e.g. domestic washing machine).

The main limitation of an interlocked guard is that it is possible to bypass the system so that the machine can be operated with the guard open. With simple interlock systems this is easily done, but even complex interlock systems can be defeated by a determined person. The dangerous parts or machinery may not be at rest as the equipment is opened, and this may put the operator at risk (though this can be overcome by good design and consideration of “run down” times). It is also possible that a person may gain access to the inside of a machine guard during operation by climbing over the guard or by the equipment being re-started by a second operator. It is, therefore, important that the appropriate type of interlock system is fitted to the machine and that strict rules are imposed about safe use of interlocked guards, with regular maintenance carried out.

Trip DevicesTrip devices are protective devices that do not put a physical barrier between the operator and the dangerous parts of machinery. Instead some form of sensor is used to detect the presence of the operator and stop the machine. Trip devices are intended to minimise severity of an injury and are often used as an additional control measure, e.g. in combination with an interlocked access gate to ensure that an operator does not gain access by climbing over a fence or being locked in by a colleague.



First-Aid AssessmentSpecific first-aid needs of a workplace depend on the place where work is being conducted and the type of work being carried out. The following criteria should generally be taken into account:

Topic Focus

The factors to be considered in assessing first-aid provision include:

• Size of the organisation (e.g. number of employees).

• Nature of the work and workplace hazards and risks, e.g. hazardous substances, dangerous machines, tools or animals. Remember that you will have different levels of risk in different parts of the workplace (office vs production line).

• Nature of the workforce, e.g. experience, young workers, pregnancy, disabilities.

• The organisation’s accident history.

• The needs of travelling, remote and lone workers, e.g. may need a travel first-aid kit.

• Work patterns, e.g. coverage for shift work or out of hours work.

• The distribution of the workforce, e.g. large site with multiple buildings which are far apart.

• The remoteness of the site from emergency medical services.

• Employees working on shared or multi-occupied sites.

• Annual leave and other absences of first-aiders and appointed persons – adequate coverage.

• First-aid provision for non-employees.

Specific Specialist First-Aid TreatmentsWhere specific risks have been identified, particular provision should be made, e.g.:

• Specialist and separate training for the appointed person.

• Extra first-aid equipment may be required.

• Training to cope with special risks such as cyanide poisoning.

Information and Training• The employer should inform all workers of the

establishment’s first-aid arrangements, especially new workers ( so details are usually included in induction training).

• Self-employed persons should provide adequate first-aid equipment for their own needs.

• Arrangements should also cover the first-aid requirements of other persons on the establishment’s site.

• Training courses must usually be to an approved standard (the training syllabus is often mandated by local enforcement agencies). Refresher training is commonly mandated at suitable intervals, e.g. every three years.

• Where the employer provides a full-time staffed occupational health service, the first-aid arrangements for the establishment would normally be made by them.
