1. WHAT THE MISTAKE OF THE PICTURE?

Do not wear the safety helmets for head protectionon construction sites but replace it with other

things that not appropriate to wear.

7. RESPONSIBILITIES

The need for safety helmets to be worn on constructionsites should be established by the person in control,

conducting a hazard assessment.

Employers are responsible for ensuring that a safety helmetis worn on a construction site where:

a) There is a possibility that a person may be struck on thehead by a falling object.

b) A person may strike their head against a fixed or

protruding object.

c) Accidental head contact may be made with electricalhazards.

d) Every person on a construction site should wear a safetyhelmet:

e) Where there is a risk of a head injury.

f) If required to do so by an employer and/or the person incontrol of the workplace.

6. DUTY OF CARE :There is a legal requirement for industry tobe responsible for managing - workplace

health and safety.

#- This requirement, expressed as the"Duty of Care" principle, is the basis of theOccupational Health and Safety Act, 1983.

#-Implementing the Duty of Care principlemeans planning for prevention of

workplace accidents, injuries and illness.

5. ACT THAT INCLUDE IN THIS HAZARD UNDER THE

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT, 1983 :

3. WHY WE MUST WEAR THE SAFETY HELMET?

The "Construction Sites (Safety) Regulations" clearly statethat no person shall enter a construction site without

wearing a suitable safety helmet.

#- there is the risk of falling objects, workers must alsocorrectly wear safety helmets to avoid head injury.Onalmost all construction sites there are situations where

head injuries could happen.

#-The work should be organised to minimise this risk, forexample: preventing objects falling by using scaffolds withtoe boards. But if even after doing this, risks of head injury

will normally still remain and you should ensure allworkers are provided with, and wear, suitable head

protection.

4. HEAD PROTECTION SHOULD :

>>Be in good condition. If its damaged, throwit away

>>Fit the person wearing it and be wornproperly

>>Not stop you wearing hearing protectors aswell (when needed)

>>Only be a obtained from a reputablesupplier there are fake hard hats on the

market

2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION :

a) A safety helmet is required in almostevery industry where there is a risk ofinjured by falling object.

b)In areas of restricted head space whereaccidental bumping of head could beinvolved, a bump cap should beconsidered. Bump caps are not a

substitute for safety helmets and must notbe used to protect the head from fallingobject.

8. CONCLUSION

From this PBL, we learn that the important to analyze theoperation of the industry. JSA plays an important role to

ensure the safety of employees and to reduce the injury ratein respective work places.

Besides, we also learned the potential aspects and also itimpacts on JSA to ensure the safety and precaution that needto take place and follow by either employees or employer to

produce a safe and healthy working place.
