LEARNING COMPETENCY. Practice Occupational Health and

Safety Procedures

In this lesson, you are expected to:

1. Identify health and safety problem encounter in a particular place.
2. Determine the hierarchy level of control measures in the workplace.
3. Apply safety and health procedure

Direction: Matching type. Draw a line from column A to column B to connect

the meaning of each Hierarchy control measures.

Column A Column B

 It is a work process to
reduce exposure to a
hazard
 It means removing it
completely
 working a limited
number of hours in a
hazardous area
 ear and eye protection

 work process with a less

dangerous one

Before we proceed, let’s see if you can still remember your past lesson.

Directions: Choose your answer from the box below. Write your answer in a
separate sheet of paper.

C. Follow health and safety procedure
D. Follow the manual before operating the machine
3. A type of hazard can carry a charge of up to 25,000 volts, and it can still
be holding a high charge after the power is removed. This refers to:_______
A. Chemical hazard C. Electrical hazard
B. CRT Monitor High-Voltage Hazard D. Physical hazard
4. Which of the following is NOT an example of physical hazard?

B. Hot surface D. Wet floor

Controlling hazards and Risk

All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a
variety of methods. The goal is to prevent workers from being exposed to
occupational hazards.
To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand
those hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If
the hazards can't be eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks
by substituting less harmful substances or changing the work environment
through engineering controls.
The most effective method of controlling hazards is to control at the
source by eliminating the hazard or by substituting a hazardous agent or work
process with a less dangerous one.
How can you identify health and safety problems?
Here are some of the ways you can identify health and safety problems:
• Observe your workplace;
 • Investigate complaints from workers;
• Examine accident and near-miss records;
• Examine sickness figures;
• Use simple surveys to ask your co-workers about their health and
safety concerns;
• Use checklists to help you inspect your workplace;
• Learn the results of inspections that are done by the employer, the
union, or anyone else;
• Read reports or other information about your workplace.
Once you recognize a hazard, then you can determine which measure will
correct the problem most effectively.
What is the hierarchy of control measures?
The hierarchy of control is a system for controlling risks in the workplace.
The hierarchy of control is a step-by-step approach to eliminating or reducing
risks and it ranks risk controls from the highest level of protection and
reliability through to the lowest and least reliable protection
There are five major categories of control measures: elimination, substitution,
engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective
equipment.

- a hazard means removing it

completely;

- replacing one hazardous agent or

work process with a less
dangerous one

- work process to reduce exposure to

a hazard

- working a limited number of hours

in a hazardous area

- includes ear and eye protection,

respirators, and protective clothing
Other control measures that would help minimize the risk exposure
Education and Training
Employee education and training on how to conduct their work safely
helps to minimize the risk of exposure and is a critical element of any complete
workplace health and safety program.
Good Housekeeping
Good housekeeping is essential to prevent the accumulation of hazardous or
toxic materials (e.g., build-up of dust or contaminant on ledges, or beams), or
hazardous conditions (e.g., poor stockpiling).
Emergency Preparedness
The necessary equipment and supplies are readily available and that a
person know what to do when something unplanned happens such as a release,
spill, fire, or injury.

I. Directions: Search for the five (5) different methods used to control
hazards and risks. Encircle the word/ words vertically, horizontally,
backward, upward or downward. Create a 11 column and 12 rows.
Show answers only.

II. Directions: Using Hierarchy control measure, as a student, how can you
apply this to the existing pandemic situation in our country. Write
your answer on the space provided.

III. Directions: Complete the Table below by analyzing the task given.
Your Task: Think about what your first job might be in the future. In
your mind make a picture of how your workplace looks like. Think
about how you could answer the following:

Questions Situations
1.Describe one unsafe situation you
might find at work
2. Why is this a hazardous
situation?
3. What injury or health problem
could result?
4. How can you prevent an accident
from happening?

All workplace hazards can be controlled by a variety of methods. These

methods will be of great help if it will follow properly. There are five major
categories of control measures: elimination, substitution, engineering controls,
administrative controls, and personal protective equipment.
It is important to monitor both the hazard and the control method to
make sure that the control is working effectively and that exposure to the
hazard is reduced or eliminated.
 Direction: In the box below, write your observation that might be hazard
inside your house. What kind of injuries that could result from each
hazard and write these on the right side of the box.

Indicators Observation
1. loaded electrical outlets 1.
2. molds 2.
3. sharp kitchen wares 3.
4. gas range stove 4.
5. floor tiles 5.
6. water spilt on the floor 6.
7. cooking unattended 7.
8. hard chemical in the kitchen 8.
9. tiny pieces of toys beside a 9.
baby 10.
10. medicine
