What is HSE:
HSE stands for Health, Safety and Environment.

Health: The state of being free from illness and injury.

Safety: Describes policies and procedures in place to ensure the safety and health

of employees within a workplace. Involves hazard identification and control
according to the standards and ongoing safety training and education for employees.

Environment: The sum total of all surroundings of a living organism, including natural
forces and other living things, which provide conditions for development and
growth as well as of danger and damage.

What is personal safety:

Personal Safety refers to the freedom from physical harm and threat of physical
harm, and freedom from hostility, aggression, harassment, and devaluation by
members. Safety includes worry about being victimized as well as actual
incidents.

What are PPEs:

PPE stands for personal protective equipment. PPE means any device or
appliance designed to be worn or held by an individual for protection against
one or more health and safety hazards.
Personal safety at job:
Workplace safety cannot exist on best practice guidelines and policies alone. A
safe working environment is based on how well the people, in both management and
on the plant floor, adhere to and communicate about safety standards.

Top 10 Workplace Safety Tips Every Employee Should Know:

1. Be Aware of Your Surroundings:

This step requires knowing the particular hazards of your job or workplace.
Once you’ve learned these risks, you are able to keep clear of potential hazardous
areas, and potential hazardous situations. Also, always be alert of machinery.

2.  Keep Correct Posture to Protect Your Back:

If you work at a desk, keep your shoulders in line with your hips to avoid back
problems. If you’re picking things up, use correct form so your back doesn’t get hurt.
Avoid stooping and twisting. If possible, always use ergonomic designed furniture
and safety equipment so everything you need is within easy reach.

3.  Take Regular Breaks:

So many work-related injuries and illnesses occur because a worker is tired,
burned out and not alert to their surroundings. Taking regular breaks helps you stay
fresh on the job. One trick to staying alert is to schedule the most difficult tasks when
your concentration is best, like first thing in the morning.

4.  Use Tools and Machines Properly:

Take the proper precautions when using tools, and never take shortcuts. Taking
shortcuts is one of the leading cause of workplace injury. It’s a huge safety risk to use
scaffolding as a ladder or one tool in place of another for a specific job. Using tools, the
right way greatly reduces the chance of workplace injury

5.  Keep Emergency Exits Easily Accessible:

In case of an emergency, you’ll need quick, easy access to the exits. It’s also
recommended to keep clear access to equipment shutoffs in case you need to quickly
stop them from functioning.
 6.  Report Unsafe Conditions to Your Senior:

Your senior needs to be informed about any workplace safety hazards or risks.
They are legally obligated to ensure their employees have a safe working environment and
will take care of the unsafe conditions and make them safe for you and your coworkers.

7.  Use Mechanical Aids Whenever Possible:

Instead of attempting to carry or lift something that’s really heavy in an attempt

to save a sliver of time during your workday, take the extra minute to use a
wheelbarrow, conveyor belt, crane or forklift. Too many injury risks are involved with
trying to lift something that weighs too much.

8.  Stay Sober:

Around three percent of workplace fatalities occur due to alcohol and drugs.
When a worker’s ability to exercise judgment, coordination, motor control,
concentration or alertness is compromised, this leads to any number of risks for
workplace injury and fatalities.

9.  Reduce Workplace Stress:

Stress can lead to depression and concentration problems. Common causes of

workplace stress include long hours, heavy workload, job insecurity and conflicts with
coworkers or managers. Take your concerns about workplace stress to your supervisor
to see how they might help you address them.

10.  Wear the Correct Safety Equipment:

If you’re not wearing the correct safety equipment for a task, you may get
injured. Depending on the job, equipment like earplugs, earmuffs, hard hats, safety
goggles, gloves or a full-face mask greatly reduce the risk of workplace injury

What is job/work:
A group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions.
When performed by an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consists of duties,
responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are (1) defined and specific, and (2)
can be accomplished, quantified, measured, and rated. From a wider perspective, a job is
synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a work environment.
Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role (supervisor, engineer, team
leader etc.) and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness.

What is permit to work system (PTW):

A permit-to-work system is a formal written system used to control certain
types of work that are potentially hazardous. A permit-to-work is a document which
specifies the work to be done and the precautions to be taken. Permits-to-work form an
essential part of safe systems of work for many maintenance activities.

Types of permit at JDW-III Co-Gen Power plant:

There are five types of permit at JDW-III Co-Gen Power plant. Detail is below.
1. E & I work permit
2. Cold work permit
3. Hot work permit
4. Confined space entry
5. Radiography

Safe permit to work system:

A safe work permit is document that identifies the work to be done, the
hazard(s) involved, and the precautions to be taken. It ensures that all hazards and
precautions have been considered before work begins. Safe work permits should always be
used when work is performed by an outside agency or employer.

Equipment safety at job:

1. Inform Seniors of Unsafe Conditions

If you see something that could potentially hurt someone, remove the object or
clean the area if you can do so safely. Otherwise, inform your seniors. Since your senior is
legally obligated to keep you and your fellow employees’ working environment safe, they
must take action.

2. Use Equipment Properly

Misusing tools and machines is the most prevalent cause of workplace injuries.
When using equipment, make sure that you are using each piece of equipment for its
intended purpose and are using it correctly. Furthermore, regularly clean and inspect
equipment to ensure that it is safe.

3. Wear Safety Equipment (PPE)

When done a job and using equipment, make sure you wear the proper safety
equipment. Making sure you wear the proper safety equipment and checking that your
safety equipment is undamaged significantly lowers your likelihood of getting injured.

4. Prevent Slips and Trips

As the second most prevalent cause of nonfatal occupational injuries, it is vital

to ensure that aisles are clear and spills are cleaned to prevent employees from tripping or
slipping. If you are dealing with a liquid, use drip pans and guards. Clean up any spills
immediately to keep conditions safe. Also, check your workplace to make sure there are no
holes, loose boards, or nails projecting from the floor. If any of these characteristics exist,
replace the damaged flooring. In areas that cannot easily be cleaned, consider installing anti-
slip flooring.

5. Keep Work Areas and Emergency Exits Clear

Make sure to remove any clutter blocking emergency exits, equipment shutoffs,
and areas that you are working. A cluttered work area can lead to not having enough space
to use tools and pick up heavy objects properly. Furthermore, if an exit is obstructed, you
may not be able to quickly escape if an emergency occurs. Placing equipment in proper
storage areas after use will help keep the work area and emergency exits clear.
6. Eliminate Fire Hazards

If you are using combustible materials in the work environment, only keep the
amount you need for the task at hand. When you are not using the flammable material, store
the chemical in an assigned safe storage area away from sources of ignition. Also, store
combustible waste in metal receptacles and dispose of it daily.

7. Avoid Tracking Hazardous Materials

To ensure that hazardous materials are not accidentally tracked into other
areas, make sure that work area mats are maintained and kept clean. Prevent cross-
contamination by using different cleaning materials—such as mops—for various spills, and
change clothes if you spill toxic materials on them. Also, if you work with toxic materials, do
not wear your work clothes home.

8. Prevent Objects from Falling

To keep objects from falling, use protections such as nets, toe boards, and toe
rails. In addition, stack boxes straight up and down, and place heavy objects on lower
shelves. Furthermore, keep stacked objects out of the way of aisles and work areas.

9. Use Correct Posture when Lifting

To avoid injuring your back when you are trying to pick up an item, keep your
back straight, use your legs to lift, and pick up the item without stooping or twisting.
Whenever possible, use mechanical aids such as a conveyor belt, wheelbarrow, or forklift.

10. Take Breaks

Many work-related injuries occur when a worker is tired and cannot adequately
observe dangers in their surroundings. By taking regular breaks, you are able to stay more
alert when working.

10: lifesaving rules:

The Life Saving Rules will keep you and your colleagues safe.
WHY
10 Life Saving Rules are here to help you recognize when you might be in a situation
where you need to stop and think – what barriers can be put in place before continuing
working?
HOW
The rules are here to help you identify risks before, during and after an operation. You
are also required to identify and familiarize yourself with any other safety controls before
undertaking and during work.
WHEN
The rules are a daily tool available for everybody. If you need more information about Life
Saving Rules contact your manager.
If you can’t comply with all of the following rules or are in any doubt about the
safety of a situation, stop and notify your senior if it is safe to do so.

Know the rules

 Ask, if you do not know the rule(s).
 Notify your supervisor if you do not have the tools, equipment, processes to comply
with the rules.
 You have an obligation to intervene by using your Stop Work Authority if you see an
unsafe act or condition, as long as it is safe to do so.
 Correct your behavior immediately if one of your co-workers intervenes because of an
unsafe act, remember they have your welfare in mind.
 Report all violations of life-saving rules via the safety observation system or incident
reports.
 Use existing HSE systems, e.g. safety meetings, toolbox talks, observation programs, to
keep life-saving rules front-of-mind.

Our ambition is to be incident free

Before starting work
Carry out a risk assessment.
Risk assessments
Reduce and manage risk.
If you see a risk
Raise your voice when you see a potential risk. Never remain silent – bring the risk
to someone’s attention.

What is line of fire:

The line of fire is the path an object will travel should thing go wrong. A few examples include:
What is isolation:

Modern machinery can contain many hazards to workers from electrical, mechanical, pneumatic or

hydraulic energy sources. Disconnecting or making the equipment safe to work on involves the

removal of all energy

sources is known

as isolation.

What is purpose of
isolation:

The purpose of isolation is to

get the zero-harm energy.

What is log out-tag out (LOTO):

Lockout-Tagout refers to the safety procedure used in industry and research

settings to ensure that dangerous machines have been properly shut-down and are incapable
of being started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work. It
requires that all hazardous energy sources have been (1) identified (2) isolated and (3) rendered
inoperative to prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy prior to the start of any repair
or maintenance procedure.

What is log out-tag out and try out (LTT):

Ensure that all energy sources are isolated before electrical or mechanical work
is performed. LOTO protects miners from the dangers of uncontrolled, unplanned release of
energy (movement of equipment or materials; electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic), or toxic
materials.
1. Stop the equipment, disconnect power and lock the switch.
2. Attach your identifying tag.
3. With miners in the clear, try to start the equipment or test for power.
 It’s not locked out until you’ve tried it out!

What is toolbox talk:

A Toolbox Talk is an informal safety meeting that focuses
on safety topics related to the specific job, such as workplace hazards and safe work
practices. Meetings are normally short in duration and are generally conducted at the job site
prior to the commencement of a job.

Importance of toolbox talk:

Safety meetings and toolbox talks are important to building a
strong safety culture and reinforcing your company’s commitment to protecting your
workers. Holding regular safety meetings and toolbox talks can prevent workers from
getting complacent and avoid taking safety for granted.

6 keys to a successful toolbox talk:

1. Keep it short. Toolbox talks should be around 5 – 10 minutes.

2. Focus on one topic relevant to the work being done that day.
3. Get workers involved by asking questions or having them demonstrate safe work
practices.
4. Be sure to cover changes to the site or working conditions.
5. Have employees inspect tools, equipment and PPE.
6. Allow for questions and answers at the end of the toolbox talk.

Behavior-based safety:
Basically, BBS is an established method of using positive reinforcement to change
unsafe individual behaviors and reinforce safe behaviors
Why do we take risk?
The chances of getting hurt are too low to prevent us from taking risk. This low
probability of injury allows behavior to drift towards behavior that,

 Gets the job done more quickly

 Requires less effort
 Provides greater comfortable

It’s human nature!!!

What are the aims and benefits of BBSO?

The aims of BBSOs are: -
 To Intervene to reinforce safe behavior or change unsafe behavior or conditions
 To Modify behaviors such that safe behaviors are re-enforced, and at-risk behaviors are
eliminated.
 To recognizing both safe and at-risk behavior.
 Not fault finding – it is a way to take care of others.

The benefits of BBSOs include:

 The focus of attention and recognition on both safe and at-risk behaviors
 The “permission” to provide feedback and learn from one another
 The opportunity to enable all colleagues to make a contribution toward safety
 Fostering of open communication about safety issues
 A constant reminder of workplace safety
 Lower incident rates at Infinium locations where BBSO participation is high

Behavior Strategies?
1. Make it rewarding Create more Positive Consequences for people to behave safely.

2. Make it easier Remove the Negative Consequences for the desired Behavior.
 3. Make it clear Make sure people understand the potential consequences of their
behavior.
4. Rules / Barriers Make Undesired Behavior difficult or unattractive.

Dealing with Unsafe Behavior.

 Explain behavior observed
 Discuss why it is unsafe
 Ask for suggestions
 Share your ideas
 Reach agreement on steps to be taken
 Express confidence that the job can be performed safely
 Ask for commitment to work safely
 Follow-up and give positive feedback when behavior is corrected

Feedback what you saw and agree on actions from the Observation
Provide feedback immediately, and discuss follow-up at the workplace e.g.
Recognize / re-enforce safe behavior

 Discuss how to make safe behavior easier

 Influence risk perception if needed
 Correct unsafe behavior
Summarize dialogue and agreed follow-ups that you will write on the form.

Doing the Observation

The Observation.
Explain what you are there for,
 Findings and conclusions are to improve safety.
 Tell Observe (s) that they are the job specialists.
 Both parties are expected to learn from the observation.
Give positive feedback on any good things you saw as you approached.
Encourage and allow the observe(s) to talk.
Observation “don’ts”
Not introduce yourself or inform people on the purpose of your visit.
Say nothing and just fill in your checklist.
Involve only your partner in discussions about the observes.
Just ask for observer’s name and Company name and leave.
Try to prove you know everything better and tell people this.
Not listen to what the observe has to say.
Not bother about your own safety and PPE.

Assume/assign blame and create threatening atmosphere.
