Introduction to Industrial
Safety and Health
SAFETY
Freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury,
occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property,
or damage to the environment.
• A thing is SAFE if its risks are judged to be acceptable.

• A thing is NOT SAFE if it exposes us to unacceptable danger
or hazard.

• Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall hold paramount

the safety, health and welfare of the public.

SAFETY
• One of the main duties of an engineer is to ensure the safety
of the people who will be affected by the products that he/she
designs.
• The engineering codes of ethics show that engineers have a

responsibility to society to produce products that are safe
THREE (3) E’S OF SAFETY
• Improved engineering could prevent accidents.
• Employees were willing to learn and accept safety rules.
• Safety rules could be established and enforced.
• Financial savings from safety improvement could be reaped by savings in
compensation and medical bills.
THREE (3) E’S OF SAFETY
1. ENGINEERING
Design improvements to both products and processes – less dangerous
2. EDUCATION
Employees know how to work safely, covers what, when, where, why and
how of safety
3. ENFORCEMENT
Employees abide by safety policies, rules, regulations, practices and
procedures

TOP 10 REPORTED WORKER’S COMPENSATION
INJURIES
10. On the Job Violent Acts
• Attacks caused by office politics and other arguments have led to serious
physical injuries
• Workplace violence employee training and employee diligence in
watching out for suspicious activities can help keep these incidents at
bay.
INJURIES
9. Repetitive Motion Injuries
• This is one of the less obvious injuries but very harmful in the long run.
• Repetitive motions such as typing and using the computer 24/7 can strain
muscles and tendons causing back pain, vision problems, and carpal
tunnel syndrome.
• Employee training and the use of proper ergonomic equipment can help
keep these incidents low.
INJURIES
8. Machine Entanglement
• This usually occurs in a factory with heavy equipment and machinery
where clothing, shoes, fingers, and hair are entangled.
• Protective equipment and attention to personal details are necessary to
avoid these incidents.
INJURIES
7. Vehicle Accidents
• Employees who drive for business purposes are often injured in auto
accidents, some of which can be fatal.
• Employee Safe-Driver training and employer safe driving policies are
likely to reduce accidents.
INJURIES
6. Walking Into Injuries
• Head, knee, neck, and foot injuries can result when a person accidentally
runs into concrete objects such as walls, doors, and cabinets.
• Keeping the work environment free from hazards are key to preventing
these types of injuries.
INJURIES
5. Falling Object Injuries
• Objects that fall from shelves or dropped by another person can cause
very serious head injuries.
• Aside from keeping the work environment free from hazards, proper
personal protection gear usage, such as a hard hat, can be instrumental.
INJURIES
4. Reaction Injuries
• Caused by slipping and tripping without falling, these incidents can cause
muscle injuries, body trauma, and a variety of other medical issues.
• It is important for employees to pay attention to what is going on in the
environment around them.
INJURIES
3. Falling from Heights
• Falls from an elevated areas such as roofs, ladders, and stairways can
be caused by slip and fall accidents or due to faulty equipment
• These types of accidents can be reduced by the use of proper personal
protection gear, training and employee diligence.
INJURIES
2. Slipping/Tripping
• This pertains to falls on wet and slippery floors or trips over something
lying on the floor.
• Attention is required of employees and safety guidelines must be
implemented to ensure spills and debris are promptly cleaned.
INJURIES
1. Overexertion Injuries
• This includes injuries related to pulling, lifting, pushing, holding, carrying,
and throwing activities at work.
• Overexertion not only consistently has been the number one workplace
injury, but is also the most expensive.

RATIONALE FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH
TRAINING
Case: Will-Burt Company
Low profits, too many product defects, and steep workers’

compensation and medical costs were hurting the company.
That’s when new President and Chief Executive Officer Harry E.
Featherstone stepped up and instituted an employee training and
education program. . . . Naturally, employees get their share of
safety training, including lift truck operation, hazard
communication, hearing protection, and lockout/tagout, as part of
Will-Burt’s overall commitment to education.
TRAINING
Workers who have not been trained to perform their jobs safely
are more likely to have accidents.
TRAINING
Why people fail to follow safety procedures or to take reasonable
precautions on the job:
• Not been given specific instructions in the operation
• Misunderstood the instructions
• Not listened to the instructions
• Considered the instructions either unimportant or unnecessary
• Disregarded the instructions
LEGAL REASONS FOR TRAINING
The Occupational Safety and Health Act mandates that employers provide
Safety and Health Training
• Education and training programs for employees
• Establishment and maintenance of proper working conditions and
precautions
• Provision of information about all hazards to which employees will be
exposed on the job
• Provision of information about the symptoms of exposure to toxic
chemicals and other substances that may be present in the workplace
• Provision of information about emergency treatment procedures
