What is Accident?
• Unwanted and undesirable • Unexpected • Involves a deviation from what was intended, i.e.
a planned safe operation • Involves injury to people and/or damage to plant
and equipment or materials, including the finished product - or at least the potential for injury/damage (an event labeled a ‘near miss accident’)
• Involves a chain of events, rather than one isolated event

Why Managing Safety and Health?• Moral and Ethical Issues
-Respect Human Resources - morale, commitment, image-Respect their family – pride, - Ethical Issues AS A PROFESSIONAL
• Legal Issues -Claims for compensation-Disruption during the legal process
• Financial Issues - is not a JUST legal, moral and ethical obligation; it also makes good business sense!!!!!.
-Increase of Insurance Premium -Direct Lost-Indirect Lost

Why do Engineers need to know about Ethics?
• With knowledge & skills, engineers have the capability to do services to the public.
• With this capability, engineers have a tremendous responsibility to clients, individuals and society.
• Ethics help engineers to guide their decisions to ensure they act responsibly.
ETHICAL ISSUES

Basic Ethical Concepts
• Ethical considerations are an integral part of making engineering decisions.
• The professional obligations of engineers go beyond fulfilling a contract with a client or customer.
• Codes of ethics can provide guidance in the decision-making process.

Basic Ethical Concepts
•Ethical obligations do not stop at any country’s border; they are global.
•Wherever engineers practice, they should hold paramount the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
•How an engineer fulfils those obligations may depend on the social and economic context of engineering practice.

HazardHAZARD –condition with the potential of causing:
• Injury• Diseases• Damage to equipment or structures• Loss of material or lessening of the ability to
perform a prescribed function• Damage to the environment• Or a combination of the above
- It is something that can cause harm if not controlled
- the outcome is the harm that results from an uncontrolled hazard.
![Page 20: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Workers don’t create hazards. Hazards are often built into workplace.
Work processes can be designed to prevent accidents and illnesses. Existing hazards should be removed from the workplace.
![Page 21: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Breakdown of Accident Costs for the Industry
• The costs can be categorized into - Direct cost - Indirect cost
![Page 22: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Direct costs • payment for work not performed; • medical and compensation payments;
• repair or replacement of damaged machinery and equipment;
• reduction or a temporary halt in production;
• increased training expenses and administration costs;
• possible reduction in the quality of work;
negative effect on morale in other workers.
![Page 23: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The costs of an accident or illness can be 4 to 10 times greater than the direct costs, or even more!
An occupational illness or accident can have so many indirect costs to workers that it is often difficult to measure them. One of the most obvious indirect costs is the human suffering caused to workers' families, which cannot be compensated with money.
Indirect costs
![Page 24: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Indirect costs • the injured/ill worker has to be replaced; • a new worker has to be trained and given
time to adjust; • it takes time before the new worker is
producing at the rate of the original worker; • time must be devoted to obligatory
investigations, to the writing of reports and filling out of forms;
• accidents often arouse the concern of fellow workers and influence labor relations in a negative way;
• poor health and safety conditions in the workplace can also result in poor public relations.

Risk Risk - a combination of the probability that a particular outcome will occur and the severity of the harm involved.(Risiko - Kombinasi kemungkinan berlakunya kejadian berbahaya/kemalangan dan kesan akibatnya)
- Chance or probability of danger, loss or injury occuring- A measure of economic loss or human injury in terms of both
the accident likelihood and magnitude (consequence) of loss or injury
- It is a combination of incident, probability and consequences.
Danger – expresses the relative exposure to hazard. A hazard may presence, but there may be little danger because of the precaution taken.

Risk management involves the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.
Checking and Reviewing the risk control
- Controlling the risk • Eliminating the hazard, if possible • Minimizing, if possible • Controlling the hazard

Issues in Managing of Health at Workplace
• Difficult to develop strategy due to - Long latency period - Individual susceptibility factor
• The difficulties are experienced by - Designers - difficult in taking account of health risks in
their specifications - Managers - determining the level of health protection
that personnel require - Operatives - being aware of health risks and the
systems, whether control or prevention, that are put in place to protect them.

Factors Affecting Toxic Effect • Factors related to the agent
- Chemical Composition - Physical properties - Solubility in body fluids
• Factors related to the Exposure Situation - Dose: how much and how long? - Co-factors: Presence of other materials
• Factors related to the individuals - Individual differences: genetic status and allergic status - Age - Presence of predisposing disease:
• Angina (Heart Disease) Æ cannot tolerate carbon monoxide • Emphysema (lung ailment)

Material Safety Data Sheets - MSDS
A form with data regarding the detailed properties of a particular hazardous material
An important component of product stewardship and workplace safety, it is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner
![Page 60: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
What is an MSDS?
• A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides detailed information about a specific hazardous material. An MSDS contains the following information: - Identity (name of substance) - Physical Hazards (target organ)
- Health Hazards - Routes of Body Entry - Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) - Carcinogenic Factors (cancer causing)
- Safe-Handling Procedures
![Page 61: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
What is an MSDS?
- Data of Sheet Preparation
- Control Measures (personal protective equipment) - Emergency First Aid Procedures (emergency telephone
number)
- Contact Information (for the preparer of the sheet) - Special Instructions

When Do You Use an MSDS?
• You should use an MSDS whenever you need additional information about a hazardous material that is not included on the product label.
• For example, you have spilled nitric acid on the floor, and you need to know how to clean it up safely. You need only refer to the "Safe-Handling Procedures" section of the nitric acid MSDS.
![Page 66: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Safe-Handling Procedures Section - Nitric Acid, 70% Isolate or enclose the area of the leak or spill. Clean-up personnel
should wear protective clothing and respiratory equipment suitable for toxic or corrosive fluids or vapors. For small spills:
Flush with water, and neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime, et cetera). Sewer with excess water.
For larger spills and lot sizes:
Neutralize with alkaline, pick up with absorbent material (sand, earth, vermiculite) and dispose in a RCRA approved waste facility or sewer the neutralized slurry with excess water if local ordinances allow. Provide forced ventilation to dissipate fumes.
Reportable Quantity (RQ) (CWA/CERCLA): 1000 pounds Insure compliance with local, state and federal regulations.

Occupational Stress
• Three types of occupational stress - Physical
- Mental
- Emotional
PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS
![Page 75: Eut440 lect wk 7 2 april 2013 id hazards and routes grp b](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/554b964db4c905764c8b4767/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Causes of Occupational Stress • Uncertainty and lack of control (low job
discretion) • Lack of support from others, including co-workers • Conflicts
• High demands of working environment, e.g. long hours, high responsibility, commitment • Very low demands: boredom, lack of meaning in work • Work station: noise, poor lighting, lack of space, extreme temperatures, poor ergonomics • Chemical hazards, fumes, passive smoking

How do humans react? 3 stages • Alarm Stage
- Immediate reaction - Fight or Flight? - Human body coordinates the readiness of
action, influencing mood, causing heart palpitation, shallow fast breathing, muscle tension, dryness of throat, dizziness and light- headedness, numbness of the limbs, nausea, anxiety and sweating
PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS

• Resistance Stage Alarm stage cannot be maintained indefinitely At one point, resistance stage occurs in which humans develop survival strategies and a way of fighting the stress
Typically, short-term relief is preferable
• Exhaustion Stage - Stress response is healthy and a motivator - When expectations are not realistic, humans become
