Hazard in an engineering definition is a substance that is likelihood to cause an injury in a certain environment or situation. Hazard is a potential of substance to cause damage
Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence of risk or injury or loss. Industrial safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger of industrial accidents.
For the Industrial hazards instead, may be defined as any condition or substance created by industries that may cause injury or death to personnel or loss of product or property.
Risk is measure of probability that harm will occur under defined conditions of exposure hazard.
In some industrial plants, by the nature of their activities and the substances they use, constitute hazards which are all the greater when they are located to residential areas for these and their residents are particularly exposed in the events for accidents.
Picture HazardThe wires are not placed correctly and also scattered wire will cause some person to trip and fall down. This will injure the person because depending on where the tripping will happen people will somehow broke their wrist or damage their body because one will never know where the tripping will happenedImprovementThe wires must be kept tidy at all times
Sometimes the fire extinguisher was placed under the table. This is happened because some workers there paid no attention about fire extinguisher and place them anywhere they feel comfortableIt also has no proper ventilation of air around it and obstruct the passageway and gangwayImprovementPlace the object near the wall
The place was also crowded and the trash was everywhere. When they cut something the unused part were thrown away nearby. There is no proper place to throw the trash. The trash were everywhere.
ImprovementPlace every trash into a proper place
One of the things is that the parts are not placed in the right way. For example the tray for bolts ae sometimes used for another. Some even put their mobile phone one of those tray and leave it there.
ImprovementsUse space given efficiently to maximize comfort
One of the hazard is the placement of future on higher level than personnel. Thus making another potential accident to the worker. It would be devastating if those chair falls
ImprovementsAn obstruction at the end of the walkway must be installed
In some places the hazard is completely nonexistent. It also have proper lighting and air conditioning
It`s also noted that the air conditioning, some of them are, not cleaned and way past their maintenance date. Some of the fan also collected dust that is also a hazard
ImprovementsUse of periodic maintenance to the air conditioner
Next is hazard that come from a ceiling. The picture shows an unassembled ceiling. It has happened a long time ago but might happened when those ceiling might falling down due to is defect and it`s unable to lock those never assembled back. The accident ceiling together
ImprovementsThe ceiling must be closed without regards to saving companies budgets
The higher level of workspace can be also a hazard and there no way for personnel to hold on to something in case of a situation where people have difficulty balancing themselves and fell on level higher.
A case of another unkempt workplace in the factory. Those sharp edges of the pair of steel that hold the barrel together can be a hazard.Combined with those wires on the floor the potential damage done can be greater
ImprovementsRemove the sharp object or displace them somewhere else
On the left is also a serious case of unkempt workplaces. The chair that used like desk and table. These workers here don’t have a proper table and a lot of things were assembled here like mineral bottle, cans and glue.
ImprovementsExtra effort needed to maintain tidiness
This factory also never paid enough attention to a defect in notice sign. The adhesive part of a sign has worn off as shown and it might fall at any time. It’s also makes it harder to read and the companies polices of caring for its workers can be questioned
ImprovementsThe sign must properly glued
