INFORMATION SHEET 4.1 -1
Health, Safety & Security in the Workplace
Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Determine the importance of health, safety & security in the workplace.

Requiring safety gear such as a hard hat and


reflective vest is one way to maintain workplace safety.

Safety, health and security in the workplace are


important to workers and to the general morale of the
employees of a company. Much of this is common sense,
but there are government agencies and regulations that
govern this aspect of running a business in order to
ensure the health and safety of the workforce.

Definitions

Safety refers to procedures and other matters taken to keep workers from
being injured or getting sick. Security overlaps safety somewhat because it can
also mean protecting workers from injury, but it is broader and refers to other
threats as well, such as sexual harassment and theft. Business owners have an
interest in the health of their employees, not only because they provide health
insurance and workmen's compensation insurance for them, but because a
healthy environment increases productivity.

Safety Measures

Businesses can take measures to ensure that their workplace is safe. They
can look for the least hazardous equipment or material. They can separate
workers from specific known hazards, via protective clothing and equipment or
architectural features. They can provide adequate ventilation to protect against
fumes. They can enact rules and procedures that promote safe practices.

Security in the Workplace

Security measures vary depending on the industry and other specifics


relating to each business. Some of the considerations with regard to security
include the following: Computer and Internet-related activity; crisis management;

prevention of theft and fraud; prevention of violence; electronic security systems
and alarms; providing and restricting access to various parts of the physical
facility to authorized personnel; and protection of company secrets, trademarks
and copyrights. Each business will address these in different ways, which will
include rules and policies, physical security measures such as locks and alarms
and plans to be enacted in the event of an emergency.

Small Businesses

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration oversees workplace safety.


Its function is to help employers get hazardous materials and circumstances out of
the workplace, keep workers from being injured, killed or becoming sick, and take
responsibility for safety in the workplace.

Government Agencies

One of the aspects of maintaining a productive workplace is making sure


that there are effective health, safety and security procedures in place. Effective
procedures protect your employees, customers, guests and facilities from harm
and damage. Review your health and safety procedures regularly with your
management team to see if any changes need to be made to make the policies
more effective.

Health

An effective health policy that protects and informs employees and managers
within your company is one of training and education. By helping your staff to
better understand how to prevent disease in the workplace, you can reduce the
fear that may set in when a traditional health risk, such as flu season, comes
around. Education can also help you and your staff better understand the reality
of communicable diseases, how they affect those that do not have them and what
the threats they pose.

Safety

Creating a safe workplace can be a matter of creating good safety habits.


According to Inc.com, one of the more common workplace safety hazards is falling.
Create a policy of clearing common walkways and removing potential tripping and
falling hazards. Use barriers to mark areas where employees could fall such as
high stairways and open floors. Teach your employees to be mindful of where they

are walking, and get your entire staff involved in creating a safer workplace. You
can also post hazard signs around the workplace to remind employees of areas
where they should pay attention, and make the wearing of safety gear mandatory
in areas where it is applicable.

Security

Making sure your facility is secure is a major part in reducing workplace


stress. Most businesses today recommends using a badge system that allows only
authorized personnel into the facility at any time. When an employee is laid off or
terminated, be sure to get their badge to prevent that employee from re-entering
the building to perpetrate a violent act. Install surveillance cameras so that people
entering and leaving the building can be seen. You should also put surveillance
cameras in your parking lot to give your employees an added sense of security.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.2-1
How to Implement Workplace Health Safety & Security Procedures
Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Deal with emergency situations.

Some policies and procedures are specific to a particular


workplace.
Each workplace has to comply with health and safety regulations, but workplaces
vary, and the specific policies relevant to each must be set down, implemented and
monitored. There are rules on health and safety that apply to all workplaces, such
as fire regulations, and some which are relevant to specific workplaces. An
example of the latter would be the regulations on transporting hazardous material,
which would only apply in particular circumstances or to particular companies.

Written policies and procedures

1. Follow correct procedures on staff safety.

Ensure that all staff members are aware of their responsibilities


regarding the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)
regulations. Staff should comply with general
workplace policies and procedures on attending
mandatory training sessions and following
protective clothing rules. Appoint a suitably
qualified person to be in charge of implementing health, safety and
security in your workplace.

2. Ensure that correct protective clothing is provided.

Ensure the staff receives the correct training on health and safety procedures.
Keep a training log detailing this training and reminding you of
when refresher sessions are necessary. Ensure that staff
members have copies of particular policies and procedures
when they join the organization. Ask them to sign to confirm
that they have read these. Issue appropriate personal protective

equipment and clothing. Provide correct changing facilities, and, where
appropriate, laundry facilities.
3. Ensure that all health, safety and security procedures are regularly
monitored. These should be revised in the light of new developments or
accidents that highlight inadequacies. Detailed accident
records must be kept. New laws on workplace health and
safety must be incorporated into policies and procedures.
Those in charge of the implementation of these policies must
regularly update their own training.

Tips & Warnings

 Ensure all written warning notices are properly displayed and visible.
 Over familiarity and overconfidence may lead to accidents; even the
most experienced staff needs regular training on health, safety and
security.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.3-1
Fire Safety/ Medical Assistance Procedures
Learning Objective: After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Follow fire safety & medical assistance procedures.

When calling for assistance, the following information should be given to the
dispatcher:

1. Name of the caller.


2. Present location of the caller and the location of the situation, if known.
3. Phone number where the caller can be reached if called back.
4. Description of the situation (i.e., fire, type of injury, etc.).

If possible, stay on the phone until the dispatcher has obtained all the pertinent
information.

Important: Under no circumstances is anyone to place him or her in danger to make


a phone call or to stay on the phone.

Fire Evacuation Procedures and Drills


Fire is a very serious situation. It can easily cause death, injury, and loss of
property. All personnel on campus should know what procedures to follow in case
of a fire in their immediate area and/or when a fire alarm sounds. Personnel
should also know how to evacuate their building and should practice this
evacuation.

Procedures for All Campus Personnel to Follow in Case of Fire


The procedures to follow when a fire occurs in a room or office include:

1. Leave immediately and close the door behind you.


2. Pull the nearest fire alarm to alert others of the problem.
3. Call 911 and report the fire if possible, without endangering your life or
health.
4. Evacuate the building by using the nearest exit.
5. Do not use the elevators.

The Procedures for All Campus Personnel to Follow when a Fire Alarm
Sounds

The procedures to follow when a fire alarm sounds include:

1. Call 911 immediately and report the alarm. Please note that if an alarm is
sounding, but it is unknown if there is a fire, the report to the dispatcher
should only indicate that there is an alarm, not a fire.
2. All alarms should be considered real. No one is to remain in the building
unless they are prevented from exiting by fire and/or smoke.
3. Always check the doors for heat and the halls for smoke before exiting.
4. Evacuate the building by using the nearest exit.
5. Do not use the elevators.

Evacuation Procedures and Drills

Personnel should know how to evacuate any building they occupy. This
means that everyone should know where the nearest exit is located, how to get to
that exit in the dark, and where alternative exits are located (just in case the
primary exit is blocked).

Periodic drills should be conducted to ensure that the evacuation routes are
known and feasible. At this time all residence halls, health services, and
laboratory schools hold building-wide drills. It is anticipated that fire drills will be
expanded to all buildings over the next several years.

Each department is required to develop or adopt fire safety procedures for


their personnel and building. If assistance is needed, contact the Bureau of Fire
Protection.

If there are any problems identifying the sound of fire alarms, or the routes
to take during evacuation, contact the Bureau of Fire Protection. Personnel in this
office will be glad to assist your department.

Fire Safety and Life Safety Inspections

Fire Investigations

The Bureau of Fire Protection has the responsibility of inspecting all campus
buildings to see if they conform to fire and life safety codes. If any violations of the
codes are found, the BFP notifies the responsible department for correction.

The BFP, along with the Philippine National Police, is responsible for
investigating all fires to determine the cause of the fire. They also determine what
can be done to prevent such occurrences.

TTI personnel can assist this office in these areas in the following ways:

1. Contact the BFP if there is any fire safety or life safety concerns in your
building.
2. Contact the BFP if there has been any kind of fire in your area that has not
been investigated by the PNP OR BFP.
3. Be conscious of the things that can create a possible fire safety or life safety
situation, such as the improper use of extension cords, smoking material,
improper storage of flammable material, storage of material in hallways, etc.
4. Notify the PNP Department or the BFP if you notice anyone creating a fire or
life safety hazard (i.e., setting fires, tampering with the fire alarm system,
etc.).
5. Contact the BFP if there are any questions or needs for training in these
areas.

Fire Extinguishers and Alarm Systems

All of the major buildings on campus are equipped with some type of fire
extinguishers and alarm systems. These items are installed in the buildings to aid
in the protection of life and property. Personnel who damage or misuse these items
not only cause disruptions for others, but also endanger the lives and health of all
other occupants.

Fire Extinguishers

There are several things that campus personnel should know about fire
extinguishers. First, fire extinguishers are designed to fight only very small fires.
Most average size extinguishers have enough water, dry chemical, or gas for about

15 seconds of fire fighting. The rating and the type of extinguisher determine the
type of fire it can extinguish.

It is recommended that campus personnel not fight fires. Most personnel are
not trained or properly equipped to put out fires. If personnel insist on putting
out fires, then the following prerequisites should be met before any fire
fighting occurs:

1. The fire department has been notified and is on the way.


2. All personnel within the area have been notified of the fire and have
evacuated the building.
3. The fire is very small (less than the size of a basketball).
4. The person who is going to fight the fire has been trained in the use of the
fire extinguisher.
5. The person who is going to fight the fire has notified someone about where
he or she is going and what he or she is going to attempt to do.
6. If the fire is not extinguished in the first 15-20 seconds, if the fire gets
bigger, or if the smoke increases, the person should leave the area. Saving
property at the cost of life or health is not a good trade.

Rescue Squad Procedures

Medical aid may be needed should accidents or serious illness occur. The
person aiding the injured or ill individual, in the event of such an occurrence,
should follow the following procedures.

Dial 911 and provide the following information:

1. Name of the caller.


2. Name of victim, if known.
3. Nature of illness or injury.
4. Location of the victim.
5. Where someone will meet the rescue squad to lead them to the victim.
6. Other information that may be pertinent or necessary, or that is requested
by the 911 operator or rescue squad personnel.

The caller should stay on the phone with the operator until he or she is sure no
more information is needed.

How to Follow Emergency Procedures

Instructions

1. Contact your organization or building's management office to ask for a copy


of the appropriate emergency procedure manual. Read the manual from
cover to cover and then keep it in a place where you can refer to it quickly in
case of an emergency.
2. Review the manual to determine the cases when immediate evacuation is
suggested as well as situations where it may be best for you to stay put. If
you have to stay put, examine the procedure for shielding yourself from
harm. For instance, if there's an earthquake or explosion, the manual will
likely suggest that you position yourself underneath a table to protect
yourself from falling objects. If there is toxic air outside of the room, the
manual would most likely suggest that you stay put and seal the doors and
windows.
3. Identify the point-person in your department or floor who is specifically
trained in emergency procedures and must help others in a time of need. If
you don't currently have a point-person and you feel that you are capable,
ask your building management office if you can attend a training program to
become the emergency guide for your area.
4. Determine the location of first aid kits, breathing or oxygen masks,
emergency phones, and tools throughout the building that will help you to
escape in case of an emergency.
5. Locate all of the fire extinguishers or hoses in the building so that you'll
know exactly where to go in case of a small fire in the building. Read the
instructions thoroughly on how to remove the extinguisher or hose from its
holder and operate the unit. If there is a fire ax available for breaking
through doors in case of a fire read the instructions for how to break the
glass safely as well.
6. Take a walk around the building to look for signs around entrances to
staircases and elevators that give you information on emergency procedures.
These signs will help lead you in the direction of safety in case of an
emergency.
