Hazards in the workplace
Horse Play
before you ACT
THINK
What am I about to Do
Do I know how to do it
Do I know the Hazards / Risks of the Job - Look for the unexpected
Do I have the Right Tools/ Equipment
Do I have the Right PPE
What can Go Wrong-Understand that people make errors, therefore keep asking
yourself What if ?
What will I do when things are Unsafe
Do not continue unless you are sure that the task can be done safely
How do I Identify Hazards?
The shark biting your leg off is the risk
issue


GOT
YOU!!
What is Risk?
The level of risk depends on where you are, where the
shark is and how hungry he is

Moderate
Extreme Risk
High Risk
Low Risk
Fall over
board !!!
Your are
Lucky I
am not
hungry!!!
Going to
get
you!!!
I am
hungry!!
!
What is Risk level?
Dealing with Risk
Think about the risk you take when crossing a road
The hierarchy of controls should be applied in the following
order
Eliminate : The complete elimination of the hazard
Hierarchy of Control
Substitute : Replacing the material or process with a less hazardous
one
Hierarchy of Control
Redesign : Redesign the equipment or work process
Hierarchy of Control
Separate : Isolating the hazard by guarding or enclosing it
or
Guarding Enclosing
Hierarchy of Control
Administrative : Providing training, procedure, Information
Notification, etc
or
Procedures/
Information Notification
Training
or
Danger Sharks
DO not enter water
Hierarchy of Control
Personal Protective Equipment : Last line of defence: Use
properly fitted PPE, where other controls are not practical and ensure
you are trained in the use and caring of PPE
Special PPE
Oil Spill Clean

Hierarchy of Control
Your Responsibility
THINK
What am I about to Do
Do I know how to do it
Do I know the Hazards / Risks of the Job -

What can Go Wrong-Understand that
people make errors, therefore keep
asking yourself What if ?
What will I do when things are Unsafe
before you ACT
Ask your supervisor to assist you with a
mini risk assessment before your task?
Your Responsibility
Four Steps to Safety
Step 1
Is this a Dangerous situation?
Step 2
Are there tool or equipment which are dangerous?
Step 3
Are the people doing anything dangerous?
Step 4
What am I going to do about it?

Apply the four steps to safety before every task to ensure
that you have identified and controlled all hazards.

(Tuberculosis)
Usually attacks the lungs but can affect any part of the body.
Nearly two thirds of all South Africans have been exposed to
the TB germ
You cannot get TB from shaking hands, toilet seats, or by
sharing cups, dishes, spoons, towels or clothing.
TB is spread when a person with active, untreated TB disease
coughs or sneezes, spraying TB germs into the air. Another
person who breathe in these germs may then become
infected
Not everyone who is exposed to an infectious (untreated) TB patient becomes a TB carrier.
Health Management TB
(Tuberculosis)
Symptoms:
In the lungs
A cough that lasts longer than 3 weeks
Chest Pain
Coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside
the lungs)

Night sweats
Fever and chills
TB is almost completely curable
