OBJECTIVE
• To identify three (3) Safety Hazards and two (2) Health Hazards at the workplace and
discuss in detail the techniques used to identify all types of hazards.

• To identify the risk at the workplace

• To reduce the hazard from happen again

• To discuss and give appropriate suggestions for control measures in order to eliminate,
reduce, and minimize the risk of the most critical hazards

• To explain the implications of the most critical hazards (safety & health hazard) that has
been identified and their preventive measure
 METHODOLOGY
WORKPLACE HAZARD
OBSERVATION:
• To observe the soil investigation
activities involved and the hazard
encountered during performing the
activities.
• Observe any unsafe act, hazard,
dangerous at the construction site
INTERVIEW
\ WITH WORKERS REVIEW OF AVAILABLE
INFORMATION
• Interview with safety officer Abdul Razak
• Information were collected from the
Example of question being asking during the interview company
as below;
• Reviewing the record of workplace for
How long you work at this company? example document
What are the work activities taken until the task is

Did you notify any hazards occur during each job work
activity?
What are you concern of during the work activity?

at workstation)

(safety)
The worker also has been supplied by complete all ppe . Workers who work at nights are not aware of the hazard
related to the work activity. The effect of the hazard is workers will minor injury, bone fracture, or more badly.
The implication of workers towards nights, the worker might be exposed to accident.
MOST CRITICAL HAZARD (HEALTH HAZARD
No Work activity Hazard Effect Existing control L S Risk

dust inhalation problem workplace inspection,
provide complete set of ppe,

This hazard is the most significant critical health hazards because the worker also has been inducted by safety personnel and
provide complete set of PPE. Workers who work with drilling work are not aware of the hazard related to the work activity.
The effect of the hazard workers will get respiratory problem due to drilling sand dust inhalation. The implication of workers
towards drilling sand dust inhalation.

a) There are nothing can be eliminate in this process
Not applicable
2. Substitution Description:
a) There are nothing can be substitute in the process
a) isolate other worker
3. Isolation
Description:
a) Only the person who are involved in drilling works is needed in the area

Description:
a) To reduce dust from directly exposed to our respirator system
a) Job rotation and frequent short break or provide the work shift for the worker
5. Administration control
Description:
a) Job rotation at once in 2 hours,
b) Work shift to workers is necessary

6. Personal Protective Equipment a) Provide respirator (filter mask) goggle, face shield
(PPE)

CONCLUSION
 In order to reduce the hazard or most critical hazard rate, the employer should show commitment
towards safety and health practices and therefore give full priority to promote and enforce the
safety and health rules in workplace.

 Hierarchy of control were use in order to minimize and control the most critical hazard that exist at
the workplace.

 To ensure the safety culture can be implemented in an organization.

 the management and workers have to take part in any safety and health program and give a full
cooperation when comes to safety and health issues.
