Week: 3 Date: 09.03.2017 Duration:50 min
Lesson No: 2 Hazard Identification & Control Class: 11G Subject: HSE
Topic: Hazards in manufacturing industry

Prior Knowledge (what students already know about the topic):

General meaning of Hazards - types of hazards

Objectives of the lesson (what students are going to learn at the end of the lesson, need to be SMART,
specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, & time-bound), & must be identified.

At the end of the lesson students will be able to

 Identify hazards in manufacturing industries and how to control them

Materials required Type of activities students will be engaged in

 Chalk and Black board

 Cooperative learning Hands-on/ practical
Peer tutoring Technology integration
Discussion Project work
Simulations Role play
Group work/pairing Others (specify)

Introduction
Time/min
Below are six of the most-common safety hazards in manufacturing settings:
1. Chemicals: Dangerous chemicals can be anywhere, from corrosive cleaning solutions to
leaking battery acid. To reduce risk of exposure, all hazardous material in your facility
should be clearly labeled. Safety instructions should be posted in the immediate vicinity and
10 mins should include precautions, procedures for treating exposure and an evacuation plan.
Employees should also be trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of chemical
exposure so that they or their coworkers can immediately receive the proper first aid.

2. Falls: When paired with overconfidence, high places can be one of the biggest hazards in
your workplace. In addition to helmets, fall-protection equipment should be in place for
ladders, cherry-pickers, or any other piece of raised equipment. Employees should be
trained to work together and understand safety signals from those on the ground.

3. Heavy Machinery: All heavy equipment should be well-guarded to limit access by
untrained workers. And like those working in high places, the workers permitted to use the
equipment must avoid the pitfalls of being overly confident. For example, they should know
to constantly be on the lookout for employees. Employees outside of the machinery must
know to get and hold eye contact with an operator, anticipate the vehicle’s movements and
alert the operator to an emergency. Carelessness is the main culprit.
4. Fire: Engines that run your machinery, welding equipment that is used on a daily basis,
and the electrical wires that keep the lights on can each pose a significant risk for a
40 mins manufacturing facility. To minimize risk, fire extinguishers should be visible and well-
marked. They should also be regularly inspected. Smoke detectors should be placed
throughout your facility, as well as emergency phone numbers and emergency instructions
for employees.

 5. Confined spaces: A confined space can include any space in which oxygen can quickly
deplete — a vat or tank, for example. Because symptoms of suffocation can come on
suddenly and limit a person’s ability to communicate, the best defense against this hazard is
education. Employees should know what qualifies as a confined space. When working in
one, they should work in pairs, with one employee removed from the danger who can act if
needed. And in some cases, your facility should be equipped with confined-space rescue
equipment, such as a harness or facemask.

6. Non-employees: One of the most dangerous elements in the workplace can be the people
who shouldn’t be there in the first place. Work areas should be forbidden to all people who
do not have proper training and equipment — including employees who work elsewhere in
the facility. Limit access to your facility and post clear warnings so outsiders know to keep
away. Enforce the rules — make no exceptions for friends, family members or anyone else
who is not onsite to perform a specific task.
