1. Incident is more general, and accident is more specific.

 Incident can refer to any event – big or small, good or bad, intentional or

unintentional. A bank robbery, a funny or controversial situation, an argument
between celebrities, etc. – all can be described as incidents
 Incident: An unplanned, undesired event that hinders completion of a task and
may cause injury, illness, or property damage or some combination of all three in
varying degrees from minor to catastrophic. Unplanned and undesired do not
mean unable to prevent. Unplanned and undesired also do not mean unable to
prepare for Crisis planning is how we prepare for serious incidents that occur
that require response for mitigation.
.
 Accident is a bad event caused by error or by chance. Accidents are always
unintentional, and they usually result in some damage or injury. A car crash is
one example of an accident. If some equipment malfunctions in a factory and
injures the workers, that is also an accident. Examples of very minor accidents
are when you step on someone’s foot or spill your coffee on someone else. You
didn’t want or plan to do it.
 Accident: Definition is often similar to incident, but supports the mindset that
it could not have been prevented. An accident is the opposite of the fundamental
intentions of a safety program, which is to find hazards, fix hazard, and prevent
incidents. When we accept that accidents have no cause, we assume that they
will happen again.

All accidents can ALSO be described as incidents – but NOT all incidents are accidents.

Example:

 If a drunk driver runs his car into a group of people, that is an accident (he did
not intend to do it; it was caused by alcohol and chance). It could also be
described as an incident (“The incident occurred on Main Street at around 2:30
AM”).
 If three people were arrested after fighting in a bar, that is an incident (but not
an accident – because the fight was not by chance; they intended to fight).

2. Hazard
  A source of danger; a possibility of incurring loss or misfortune; "drinking alcohol 
is a health hazard"
 An unknown and unpredictable phenomenon that causes an event to result one 
way rather thananother; "bad luck caused his downfall"; "we ran into each other 
by pure chance"
  An unavoidable danger or risk, even though often foreseeable: Job was full of
hazard
 A condition with the potential to cause injury, illness, or death of personnel; dam
age to or loss of equipment or property; or missiondegradation. See also injury;
risk.

3. Proper way of handling chemicals

1. Identify the chemicals you use.

2. Take an inventory of all chemicals used in your workplace by department. List the
quantities on hand, where they are stored, and what they are stored in.
3. Request Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) from the companies that supply the
chemicals you have identified on the inventory list. Keep a log of all MSDSs on hand.
These will be needed for training of employees and for quick reference in the event of
an emergency.
4. Label all containers with the following information:
• Name of the chemical.
• Concentration (strength) of the chemical.
• Information about hazards associated with the chemical (For example, skin irritant)
and emergency information (“If chemical gets in eyes…”).
• The manufacturer’s name.
• The date of manufacture (chemicals can degrade over time).
5. Identify the safe uses of the chemicals in your workplace:
• Follow safe handling instructions and identify personal protective equipment to be
used while handling chemicals.
• Beware of instructions regarding the mixing of chemicals.
• Always wash yourself thoroughly after handling chemicals. If a chemical spills on you,
wash it off at once. Some workplaces have a chemical shower that you can use to get
cleaned up quickly.
• Don’t eat, drink, or smoke when you’re handling chemicals. You could accidentally
swallow some chemicals or accidentally ignite flammable chemicals if you’re smoking.
Chemicals must always be stored in a safe place with similar-type chemicals. You should
never store chemicals with food items. Most chemicals will belong to a specific category,
and you need to make sure that only chemicals from the same category are stored
together. If you’re not sure what category a
chemical belongs to, always check its label or refer to its MSDS.
 Categories might include:

Flammable Chemicals
Chemicals such as methanol, ethanol, and kerosene are very flammable and need to be
kept away from heat and substances that might cause them to
ignite or explode. In most workplaces, flammable chemicals are stored in a separate
cupboard or cabinet that has been specially designed for them.

Oxidizing Substances
Oxidizing chemicals quickly and easily react with other chemicals. Because of this, they
should only be stored with other oxidizing chemicals.

Corrosive chemicals
Chemicals such as acids can corrode substances. They can also react violently and
explosively if they come into contact with other types of chemicals.

4. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE includes:

 eye protection, like goggles, glasses and face shields

 hearing protection, like ear plugs and ear muffs
 respiratory protection, like filter respirators, airline respirators and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA)
 foot protection, like safety shoes and boots, spats and rubber gum boots
 head protection, like hard hats, helmets and broad brimmed hats
 body protection, like aprons, overalls, gloves and high visibility clothing
 any substance used to protect health, like sunscreen

When selecting PPE to minimize a risk to health and safety, the business or employer (or
other PCBU) must make sure the PPE is:

 suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard associated
 a suitable size and fit and reasonably comfortable for the person to wear
 maintained, repaired or replaced so it continues to minimize the risk to the worker
 Used or worn by the worker, so far as is reasonably practicable.
USING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE is one of the least effective ways of controlling risks to health and safety and should only be
used:

 when there are no other practical control measures available 

 as an interim measure until a more effective way of controlling the risk can be  used 
 to supplement higher level control measures

CHOOSING PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

When choosing PPE, businesses must consult with workers and must also:

 evaluate the risk and performance requirements for the PPE

 review the compatibility of the equipment where more than one type of PPE is required
 consult with the supplier to make sure PPE is suitable for the work and workplace conditions 
 Make sure that the PPE complies with the relevant Australian Standard or equivalent standard.

ASSIGNMENT NO. 1

CAYETANO, KRISTEL JOY C.

ENGR. MARYCON A. SERRANO

 EVALUATE THE PROBLEM OF THE MOVIE OR BUILDING

Number one problem of the building is the wiring installation, the

Electrical engineer change the wire he installed without consulting the Architect
or other Engineers of that building. Second the grand opening of the building is
pushed despite of lack of safety, because the safety equipments are not fully
installed but still they push through it. Third is the party venue it is very high so
when the emergency is happen it’s hard for them to get out of the building.
Lastly, they use the elevator although everyone knows that if there is an
emergency in the building we are not allowed to use the elevator because we
might stuck inside or worst the cable of the elevator will rupture.

IF YOU ARE THE ENGINEER OF THAT BUILDING WHAT WOULD

YOU DO?

If I am the engineer of that building before the grand opening I will check
all the safety eqipments and test if it’s working properly, I will turn all the lights
on to check if the wiring system is okay. I will suggest that the party’s venue
should be in the lower floor of the building for their safety and if there is an
emergency it is easy for them to go outside the building and as an engineer we
shouldn’t take risk for safety of the people.
