REGULATIONS AND WORKPLACE SAFETY AND

HAZARD CONTROL PRACTICES AND
PROCEDURES

Accidents and danger can happen everywhere. Being aware of the dangers is the first
step in eliminating them and reducing the odds of injuries and accidents occurring.

11
 What is It

OHS PROCEDURES, PRACTICES, AND REGULATIONS

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is the lead agency of the
government in charge in the administration and enforcement of laws, policies, and
programs on occupational safety and health.

(Legal basis: Presidential Decree No. 442)

- A decree instituting a labor code thereby revising and consolidating labor and
social laws to afford protection to labor, promote employment and human
resources development and insure industrial peace based on social justice.

- Chapter I, Article I. This decree shall be known as the

LABOR CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

- Rule 1000. General Provisions:

Duties of Employers

o Furnish safe and healthful working conditions

o Give job safety instruction
o Comply with OSHS
o Use approved safety devices

Duties of Employees
o Cooperate with management
o Report unsafe condition
o Use all safe devices

Organization Safety and Health Protocols

Safety management systems have six elements:
• A safety plan;
• Policies, procedures and processes
• Training and induction;

12
• Monitoring;
• Supervision; and
• reporting

Safety Consciousness
➢ It is the most potent factor in the prevention of accidents. Safety consciousness
may be defined as awareness of hazards and alertness to danger.

Health Consciousness
➢ It describes an attitude towards awareness on one’s health and well- being.

Practice of Personal Hygiene

➢ All staff, irrespective of the fact that they have direct or indirect contact with the
guest, should be well groomed. This leaves a good impression on the guests
and gives them a feeling that the company maintains high standards.

Hazards in the Workplace and their Corresponding

Indicators
You may think working in a comfy, climate- controlled office is safe and hazard- free,
but there are many risks to your safety and health all around you.

Hazard/risk Identification
Injuries and diseases in the workplace occur due to unsafe acts and conditions.
Exposure to dangerous environmental elements, contaminants or work conditions.
UNSAFE ACTS - Occur when employees do not conform or depart from an
established standard, rules or policy. These often happen when an employee has
improper attitude, physical limitations or lacks knowledge or skills. Example includes
improper posture when lifting, not using appropriate gloves when handling chemicals
or reporting to work under the influence of liquor or drugs.

UNSAFE CONDITIONS- are the physical or chemical properties of a material,

machine or the environment which could possibly cause injury to people, damage to
property, disrupt operations or other forms of losses.

13
CATEGORIES OF HAZARD
1. Acute hazard- are those that have an obvious and immediate impact.
Example. A slippery floor where there is an immediate danger or someone slipping
and being injured.
2. Chronic hazard- Have a more hidden, cumulative, long-term impact.
Example. Workplace bullying, where the long-term impact may result in stress or other
psychological injury.

Hazards generally fall into six groups:

Hazard Examples
1. Physical- slippery floors, objects
in walkways, unsafe or misused
machinery, excessive noise, poor
lighting, fire.

2. Chemical- Gases, dusts, fumes,

vapors and liquids.

14
 3. Ergonomic- Poor design of
equipment, workstation design,
(postural) or workflow, manual
handling, repetitive movement.

4. Radiation- Microwaves, infra-red,

ultraviolet, lasers, X-rays and
gamma rays.

5. Psychological- Shift work,

workload, dealing with the public,
harassment, discrimination, threat
of danger, constant low-level
noise, stress

15
 6. Biological- Infection by bacteria,
virus, fungi or parasites through a
cut, insect bite, or contact with
infected persons or contaminated
object.

What’s New

Effects of Hazards and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Procedures for
controlling hazards/risks in the Workplace

What is It

ERGONOMIC STRESSES

Musculoskeletal injuries are injuries and disorders that affect the human body’s
movement or musculoskeletal system (i.e. muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, etc.).
It could be due to a single incident such as lifting a very heavy load or slipping and
falling. However, it is more often due to gradual wear and tear from frequent and
repetitive activities.
The chance of sprains and strains increases with the effort and frequency of
lifts, and with the awkwardness of postures required to access and move these
materials. Slips and falls can also cause serious strains and sprains. Risks for slips
and falls include uneven or slippery floor surfaces, the presence of spilled materials,
and excessively worn footwear soles.

17
 Recovery from some of these injuries may take time and further damage may
happen, making the problem worse. Most of the problems can be avoided through
applying good ergonomic principles in work design and work practices, which need
not be complicated or costly.

Workplace factors associated with musculoskeletal injuries and disorders include:

A. AWKWARD POSTURES

“Neutral position is when the body is relaxed, lengthened and aligned. Neutral position
can be either sitting or standing.”

Working with the body in a neutral position reduces stress and

strain on the muscles, tendons, and skeletal system. Awkward postures
are deviations of body parts from their neutral position. Awkward body
posture leads to exhaustion, discomfort and increased risk of injury.

Poor workstation design fosters an awkward body posture.

Awkward body posture hinders breathing and blood circulation and
contributes to musculoskeletal injuries.

Examples of awkward postures include bending the back during bed

making, reaching overhead during cleaning and improper posture while
sitting.

Preventing disorders from Awkward Postures

➢ Use tools that will allow you to work in neutral postures.

▪ Don’t overstretch yourself. Reach only as high as is comfortable for you.
▪ Use height-adjustable workbenches and chairs.
▪ Avoid bending over by using lift devices to hold items at waist-height.
▪ Use step stools or ladders to avoid reaching overhead.
▪ Use long-handled tools to decrease reaching and stooping.

➢ Store heavier or frequently used items at a height between workers’ hips and
chest to reduce awkward postures when handling these items.

➢ Perform work at the proper heights:

▪ Above the elbows with elbow support for precision work such as cleaning or
sorting.
▪ At the elbows for light work such as peeling and cutting vegetables.

18
 ▪ Between the waist and elbows for heavy work demanding downward forces
such as cutting or slicing meat.

➢ When awkward postures cannot be avoided:

▪ Take regular breaks
▪ Perform a variety of jobs to change postures
▪ Complete forceful actions closer to neutral posture.

Avoid Awkward Sitting Positions

➢ Avoid bending forward and to the sides.
➢ Do not slouch.
➢ Make sure the height of your chair is just right.
➢ Avoid chairs that are too high or too low.
➢ Ensure proper height for your work table.
➢ Do not work with shoulders and arms raised to prevent neck and shoulder pain

B. PROLONGED STANDING

Most jobs in the hotel involve standing work for many hours. Standing for a long
period of time can contribute to aches and pain in the lower limb.

Preventing disorders from Prolonged Standing

➢ Use foot rails or footrests to be able to shift body weight from one
leg to the other to reduce stress on your back and legs.
➢ Change working positions frequently.
➢ Controls and tools should be positioned so the worker can reach
them easily without twisting or bending. Avoid overreaching.
➢ Wear shoes with well-cushioned insteps and soles to relieve the
stress on your knees and back.
➢ Wear shoes that allow your toes to move freely.
➢ DO NOT wear shoes with heels higher than 5 cm (2 inches).

FRONT DESK STAFF spend many hours standing to serve customers at the reception
counter. They work with visual display units, answer phone calls and handle payment.
This may involve repetitive work, awkward postures and prolonged standing.

Excessive bending of the neck and back during writing, keyboard work or using
the calculator when the height of the desk is too low can cause neck and back aches.
The monitor height may be also too low for the standing position and there may also
be glare problems if not positioned properly.

Prolonged standing with high heel shoes may contribute to aches and pain in
the legs and feet and the back.

19
 Sprains and strains can be prevented by proper workstation design and
placement of equipment and adopting proper work postures.

Working at the Front Desk

• Do not overstretch yourself. Avoid bending and twisting to reach the telephone
or keyboard.
• Avoid bending your back. Make sure the computer monitor is neither too low
nor too high.
• Hold the telephone receiver while writing or typing. Don’t clip it between your
ear and shoulder.
• Put one foot on a step or rail to reduce stress on your back and legs when
standing for long periods. From time to time, alternate the foot you have on the
rail.
• Wear shoes with enough cushioning to relieve the stress on your knees and
back when standing for long periods.
• Vary your working position often.
