Lesson 5. Practice Occupational Safety and Health (OHS)
Occupational Safety and Health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the
safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. As a secondary effect, it may
also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers nearby communities, and
other members of the public who are affected by the workplace environment.
The reasons for establishing good occupational safety and health standards:
1. To avoid risk injury at work.
2. To reduce poor occupation and health cost to the state.
3. To ensure the safety of products and processes.
Hazard is a term used to describe something that has the potential to cause harm. Risk on
the other hand, is a measure of the possibility of a specific harmful effect in given circumstances. It is
very important to know the difference between a hazard and a risk.

Key Points
Occupational Safety and Health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the
safety, health and welfare of people. It can be controlled by a variety of methods. The goal of controlling
hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards. The most effective control
measure is to control hazards at the source by eliminating the hazard or by substituting a hazardous
chemical, machine, work process, etc., with a less dangerous one. It is important to recognize hazards
and health and safety problems in the workplace.
Always remember in controlling hazards you need to identify hazards, evaluate hazards
and provide solutions to control or eliminate the hazard.

Hazards in the Workplace
There are many things that affect the health of a person, such as his environment, his lifestyle,
etc. Work is an important determinant of health. It can influence health in a positive or in a negative
way.
A place that is safe, healthy and work-conducive entails more productivity. In fact, with a healthy
workplace you will be doing more work with less effort.
Workplace refers to a specific area where work/activity is being done.
Hazard is a term used to describe something that has the potential to cause harm.
Risk on the other hand, is a measure of the possibility of a specific harmful effect in given
circumstances. It is very important to know the difference between a hazard and a risk.
1. All materials and equipment should be maintained in a clean and safe place.
2. Keep the place free from rodents, cockroaches and insects.
3. Provide adequate facilities for hand washing, cleaning and disposing of waste.
4. Establish proper procedures for infection control.
5. Keep the floor area free from waste, water, and grease.
6. Keep cabinets dry, clean and close tightly.
In preparation for a required task in Mechanical Drafting, student should plan, prepare, and
select tools and materials for a particular drawing activity. This is to ensure the correct setting of
standard procedure and accuracy of drawings.
The drawing tools, materials and equipment are very expensive items; however, these are
important in all drafting tasks. Considering its cost and value in drafting activity, it is also important to
take care and maintain its usability.
With this, the following considerations are strictly emphasized as Standard Operating Procedure
during and after the utilization of the drafting tools, materials and equipment:
7|Page
a. Before the start of drafting activity:
1. Select the tools, materials and equipment needed in the assigned task.
2. Properly set up the required tools and materials in a place convenient for you to move and
execute your work.
3. Clean the table and tools, see to it that these are free from dust and other elements that would
cause damage to your work.
4. Wash your hands with clean water.
b. Activity proper:
1. Perform the activity by following the standard operating procedure per job requirement.
2. Properly manipulate all the tools and equipment that are used in the activity.
3. In case errors or mistakes along the way (for instance misprinting of lines, letters, and other
forms of mistakes) use appropriate eraser.
c. After the activity:
1. Submit your output to your teacher for checking
2. Check all the tools and materials to ensure that nothing is lost.
3. Return the tools and materials to the tool keeper.
It is important to consider safety measures whether in the industrial arts laboratory shop,
drafting room or in the home workshop. Good housekeeping is one of the sure ways to keep a safe
workplace. It is not the result of cleaning up once a week or even once a day. It is the result of keeping
the workplace cleaned-up all the time. It is an essential factor in a good safety program, promoting
safety, health, production, and morale.
Besides preventing accidents and injuries, good housekeeping saves space, time, and
materials. When a workplace is clean, orderly, and free of obstruction, work can get done safely and
properly. Workers feel better, think better, do better work, and increase the quantity and quality of their
work.
Japanese companies innovated a productivity philosophy called "5S," which stands for five
Japanese words that refer to a methodology not only for cleaning, but for business. The 5S
methodology is all about eliminating waste, speeding up daily tasks, and improving the quality of the
workplace. You can use the 5S methodology to help you organize your tasks at the end of every working
day.
Seiso (Sweeping) - At the end of each working day, take time to clean up your office space. Clean up
any mess you make.
8|Page
Seiketsu (Standardizing) - Maintain high standard of housekeeping
Shitsuke (Sustaining) - Do things spontaneously without being told or ordered. A systematic and
productive workplace is not a one-day-affair just because somebody is observing you.
SAQ-2: What do you think are the methods to follow in controlling hazard and risk in
your workplace?
Directions: List down some of the pointers and considerations done before, during and after the
activity in preparation for a required task in Drafting.

Key Points
Safety Standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities or
processes and others.
One of the principal means of promoting efficiency in drafting is orderliness and neatness.
Efficiency in turn will produce accuracy in drawing. The drawing area should be kept clear of
equipment not in direct use.
There are important practices that must be observed in the work setting.
The following are:

b. Never use any tools and equipment without having it clean first.
c. Avoid talking with your co-students during working period.
d. Always turn off the lights, air condition, ceiling fan, computer units, and other
equipment before leaving the work station.
e. Maintain cleanliness in the work station.
f. Use tools and equipment properly.
2. Observe punctuality of attendance.
3. Avoid quarreling with your co-students.
4. Observe and practice the value of respect.
5. Return the borrowed tools and equipment on time.
6. Observe and practice proper disposal of waste.
The 5S system may sound simple, but it demands dedication and commitment. With 5S, you
can be sure to complete your cleaning tasks in your workshop in no time.
