NOTES

INTRODUCTION
Prioritize Worker Safety and Health: The primary goal is to create a safe and healthy work
environment for employees. This is achieved by identifying and eliminating hazards before they
cause harm, promoting safe work practices, and fostering a culture of safety.

POLICY AND COMMITMENTS

Policy and commitments a written policy signed by the management is more like a terms
and regulations.
By achieving these goals, the Policy and Commitment establishes a clear framework for safety
within the organization. It fosters a culture of shared accountability where everyone plays a role
in preventing workplace accidents and illnesses. This culture encourages open communication
about safety concerns, proactive hazard identification, and continuous improvement in safety
practices.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESMENT

Hazard identification and assessment are the foundation of any OSH program. Regular
inspections, with worker participation, help identify potential hazards before they cause
incidents. Utilize checklists and risk assessment tools to systematically evaluate hazards. The
scope should be comprehensive, encompassing ergonomic risks (repetitive motions, awkward
postures), chemical hazards (toxic substances), physical hazards (slips, trips, falls), and
biological hazards (viruses, bacteria)
