OBJECTIVES

01
Discuss the health and safety
concerns in an industrial
setting; and
02
Discuss the importance of
promoting safety and health as
an engineer’s professional and
ethical responsibility
INTRODUCTION

Every job comes with potential hazards

and risks especially those in an
industrial setting.

Council

“Spending a little bit of money
upfront on prevention can save
you money on the back end.”
INTRODUCTION

Health and safety encompasses the

social, mental, and physical well-being
of workers.
A successful occupational health and safety practice requires the
collaboration and participation of both employers and workers in
health and safety programs and involves the consideration of
issues relating to:

occupational industrial
toxicology
medicine hygiene

engineering ergonomics,
education
safety psychology,
etc.
Hazards frequently identified by the consultants include tasks
related to:

working at
chemicals housekeeping
height

electrical forklifts Lockout/tag out

and confined
spaces
 The hazards affecting the workplace
under each major area should be
detected, identified, controlled, and, at
best, prevented from occurring by the
safety and health officer of the
company.
 01
Training on the proper handling and correct
operation of machines, use of personal
protective equipment (PPE) precautions, and
carefulness in work prevent accidents and
promote safety in establishments.
 02
Safety at work discusses concepts on good
housekeeping, proper materials handling and
storage, machine safety, electrical safety, fire
prevention and control, safety inspection, and
accident investigation. Industrial hygiene
discusses the identification, evaluation, and
control of physical, chemical, biological, and
ergonomic hazards.
 Occupational Health

of accidents at work and ways to
prevent unsafe acts and unsafe
conditions in any workplace.

programs are essential in
controlling work-related
and/or occupational diseases.
 03
Occupational safety and health should be
integrated with every step of the work process,
starting from storage and use of raw materials,
the manufacture of products, release of by-
products, and use of various equipment and
ensuring a non-hazardous or risk-free work
environment.

than annually to

Occupational health and safety are concepts,
principles, and practices that serve as
foundational knowledge requirements

 The integration of safety and
health courses into the different
engineering programs
demonstrates that safety and
health courses and issues are not
just peripheral but integral parts
of engineering education.
● Industrial hygiene involves anticipating,
recognizing, evaluating and controlling
physical, chemical, biological and
ergonomic hazards in the working
environment with the objective of
protecting worker’s health and well-being
and safeguarding the community.
 ● It uses strict and rigorous scientific
methodology and requires professional
experience and judgment in determining
the potential for hazard, exposure or risk
in the workplace and recommend
appropriate control measures for hazard
abatement.
The promotion of safety and
health as embodied in the
engineers' code of ethics is
the foremost professional
responsibility of the
engineers.
 Instilling such responsibility in the training of future
1. engineers will create true occupational safety and
health champions among young engineers.

They shall hold paramount the safety, health, and

2. welfare of the public in the performance of their
professional duties.
 ● These objectives can be attained by
understanding occupational safety and
health, why we need to learn key concepts in
prevention, and how we can respond to
existing and potential hazards that affect the
human body, personal lives, families, and
communities.
“The work is never so urgent or important, that
one cannot take the time to perform it safely. It
is the responsibility of everyone to do his
utmost to prevent accidents, so that all can
leave the job and returned back to their loved
ones in the same condition they arrived.”
When things go wrong, they can
go catastrophically wrong,
leading to fatalities, life-long
illness, or serious injury that is
why prevention is a must.
If management is
committed, and they
send a signal to
employees about the
management of safety
to the shop floor or the
bottom end of the tree,
it cascades that
responsibility.
All accidents are preventable,
it only needs an effective
management systems.
That is all.
