Coming Home after a Flood, Returning Home After Flood.
Going back home after a flood can be dangerous if precautions are not been taken
Coming Home after a Flood, The floodwaters are receding in Kerala as the week-long heavy rains are waning. Yet, for those planning to return home, it is advisable to ensure that there won’t be another round of deluge soon. Some tips are:
- Don’t be alone when you return home. Take with you a couple of people, who can be of (mutual) help when there is a sudden emergency…
- Never take children with you; the accompanists should be adults…
- Don’t return to home at night. Go when it’s daytime, so that you can see everything around
- Must expect reptiles inside the house and outside…
- There can perhaps be a cooking-gas leak from the kitchen. So never use light fire — be it to use a candle or smoke a cigarette
- Those having concrete fence around their house should take care while opening the gate. Everything is soaked in water, and hence even cement structures can collapse.
- Take care not to slip on the watery earth. Carry with you a towel to be tied around nose and mouth; better if you have a mask. Thick gloves also help.
-
Don’t touch with bare hands a dead body — be it of a human being or animal.
- Mark with acrylic or chalk on the wall the level till which water has risen in the house. Such an exercise would be helpful in a study on futuristic studies on the risk of living in riverine belts and low-lying areas. In 1924, when the region last had its flood of similar intensity. No such effort was made, thus leaving several regions of Kerala clueless about liveability in the in the time of a deluge
- Switch of the main electricity board before you enter the house. Also ensure that LPG cylinders are switched off.
- Wooden doors would have bloated in the floods; so it would be tough to pull or push them while trying to open. Don’t apply too much force in one go, because the drenched walls too would not be in the best of shape.
- Be inside house only after opening windows and letting fresh air come in.
- If you sense any kind of unnatural or foul smell, don’t stay inside for long
- Don’t open refrigerators carelessly. The rotten food, especial non-vegetarian, would have produced dangerous gases like methane that can exit with force.
- Make an estimate of the financial loss of every object inside, click their pictures
- Open taps and flushes to see if it is mud water or fresh water coming out
- Whenever there is sunlight, let the windows remain open for fresh air to circulate the inside of the house.
- Gather a definite idea with the rest in the locality on where to dump things that have gone into disuse owing to the flood. The decayed stuff should not just to be casually thrown somewhere.
Cleaning up and repairing:
-
Get help
-
Disinfection protection.
Once floodwaters have receded, carefully clean and disinfect each wet item to protect your home and family from sewage or chemical contaminants. Be certain to wear protective clothing, including rubber gloves and boots, during cleanup activities.
-
Floods and food.
Any items that have come in contact with floodwater should be thrown out. This includes bottled water, canned goods, plastic utensils, baby bottles, and more. When in doubt, throw it out!
-
Scammers and con artists.
Hire only professional, reputable contractors for cleanup and repair needs. Avoid the “drive-by” contractor.
-
Safe drainage.
Should your basement become flooded, drain it gradually – about 1/3 per day – to prevent structurally damage and collapse that may result from rapid water removal.
-
Insurance claims.
Contact your insurance agents to discuss flash flood recovery claims.
-
Need help?
Stay tuned to your TV or radio during flash flood recovery for information on assistance available in your area through government or other organizations.

TYPES OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) TO GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY
As an employer, you are in charge of a safe and healthy working environment for your employees. You are familiar with the safety risks within your sector, as well as the measures you can take to counteract these risks.
WHAT IS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)?
PPE means personal protective equipment or equipment you use to guarantee your (own) safety.
Use PPE always and anywhere where necessary. Observe the instructions for use, maintain them well and check regularly if they still offer sufficient protection. But when do you use what type of protection?
These 7 tips will help you on your way.
1. SAFETY FOR THE HEAD
Wearing a helmet offers protection and can prevent head injuries. Select a sturdy helmet that is adapted to the working conditions. These days you can find many elegant designs and you can choose extra options such as an adjustable interior harness and comfortable sweatbands.
2. PROTECT YOUR EYES
The eyes are the most complex and fragile parts of our body. Each day, more than 600 people worldwide sustain eye injuries during their work. Thanks to a good pair of safety glasses, these injuries could be prevented. Do you come into contact with bright light or infrared radiation? Then welding goggles or a shield offer the ideal protection!
3. HEARING PROTECTION
Are you working in an environment with high sound levels? In that case it is very important to consider hearing protection. Earplugs are very comfortable, but earmuffs are convenient on the work floor as you can quickly put these on or take them off.
4. MAINTAIN A GOOD RESPIRATION
Wearing a mask at work is no luxury, definitely not when coming into contact with hazardous materials. 15% of the employees within the EU inhale vapours, smoke, powder or dusk while performing their job. Dust masks offer protection against fine dust and other dangerous particles. If the materials are truly toxic, use a full-face mask. This adheres tightly to the face, to protect the nose and mouth against harmful pollution.
5. PROTECT YOUR HANDS WITH THE RIGHT GLOVES
Hands and fingers are often injured, so it is vital to protect them properly. Depending on the sector you work in, you can choose from gloves for different applications (Protection):
- protection against vibrations
- against cuts by sharp materials
- from cold or heat
- bacteriological risks
- splashes from diluted chemicals.
6. PROTECTION FOR THE FEET
Even your feet need solid protection. Safety shoes (type Sb, S1, S2 or S3) and boots (type S4 or S5) are the ideal solution to protect the feet against heavy weights. An antiskid sole is useful when working in a damp environment, definitely if you know that 16,2% of all industrial accidents are caused by tripping or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as snow and ice, shoe claws are recommended. Special socks can provide extra comfort.
7. WEAR THE CORRECT WORK CLOTHING
Preventing accidents is crucial in a crowded workshop. That is why a good visibility at work is a must: a high-visibility jacket and pants made of a strong fabric can help prevent accidents. Just like the hand protection, there are versions for different applications.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO
Prevention is better than cure. A smart thing is to be prepared for the worst. A classic first-aid kit is no luxury but a first-aid kit for the eyes can also be an essential first aid. If the employee comes into contact with chemicals, a safety shower is mandatory, so that he can rinse the substances off his body at any moment.
PREVENTING ACCIDENTS: PICTOGRAMS
Not only is preparing your workshop for accidents a smart thing to do, it is even smarter to organise your workshop in such a way that no serious accidents can take place. A simple way to make your workshop safer is to use pictograms: indicating flammable materials, the necessary use of hearing protection, indicating emergency exits …
You can find all pictograms in the ‘Labels & decals’ catalogue

NEBOSH Command Words
NEBOSH Command Words
There are many things to consider while attempting the NEBOSH, but the main thing that the student should follow is the NEBOSH Command Words. These are the most important to achieve the NEBOSH IGC in the first attempt. Most of the students don’t follow the rules and some of them don’t know about that so the reason they get failed. These are the following NEBOSH command words.
-
Identify
To give reference to an item, which could be its name or title.
NB: normally a word or phrase will be sufficient, provided the reference is clear.
For Example:
Identify FOUR hazards associated with excavations? (4)
Sufficient answers would include:
Collapse of the sides
Water Ingress
Falling Material
Undergrounds Services
-
Give
To provide short, factual answers. To offer for consideration, acceptance, or use of another.
NB: normally a single word, phrase or sentence will be sufficient. Give an example of; Give the meaning of.
For Example:
Identify FOUR types of safety sign AND Give an example in EACH case. (4)
Sufficient answers would include:
Prohibition signs – eg No smoking
Warning signs – eg Caution hot surface
Mandatory signs – eg Wear ear protection
Emergency or safe condition signs – eg first-aid box
-
Outline
To indicate the principal features or different parts of.
NB: an exhaustive description is not required. What is sought is a brief summary of the major aspects of whatever is stated in the question
To gain the marks for the outline example questions below, the same breadth of the answer is required as for an identify answer, but now, additional information will be required to satisfy the depth of an outline. NEBOSH Command Words
For Example:
Outline FOUR hazards associated with excavations? (4)
Sufficient answers would include:
Collapse of the sides – Unsupported trench or incorrect angle of the sides.
Water ingress –Through heavy rain or burst water main.
Falling materials –Spoil dug from excavation or materials and tools stored at ground level could fall in.
Underground services –Contact or rupturing of electricity, gas or water utilities.
-
Describe
To give a detailed written account of the distinctive features of a subject. The account should be factual, without any attempt to explain.
When describing a subject (or object) a test of sufficient detail would be that another person would be able to visualize what you are describing.
For Example:
Describe the mechanical hazards associated with a bench grinder. (8)
A sufficient answer would be:
An entanglement hazard would be associated with the rotating spindle that the abrasive wheel is mounted on. Drawing in and trapping is associated with the gap between the tool rest and the rotating abrasive wheel. Friction or abrasion hazards would be associated with the surface of the rotating abrasive wheel and stabbing or puncture hazards could be created by flying fragments or pieces of ejected broken wheel.
-
Explain
To provide an understanding. To make an idea or relationship clear.
NB: this command word is testing the candidate’s ability to know or understand why or how something happens. Is often associated with the words ‘how’ or ‘why’.
For Example:
Explain how sensitive protective equipment (trip device) can reduce the risk of contact with moving parts of machinery. (8)
A sufficient answer would be:
Sensitive protective equipment is designed to identify the presence of a person or body part within the danger zone of machinery. Examples of such devices include pressure mats and light beams that are connected to the machine controls and would stop the machine rapidly should a person or body part be detected.
Responding to command words in questions
It is important to read the whole question and to understand what the question requires as the command word on its own will need to be reinforced by the remainder of the question.
Many candidates miss out on gaining marks because they do not read the question carefully enough and do not think about their answer thoroughly before writing it down.
Candidates need to think about each question.
- what is the command word?
- how do I need to improve to gain marks?
- when it is or is not relevant to the question?
In order to pass exam, a brief answer plan is an essential aid to ensuring that answers are well thought out and structured.
NEBOSH applies a ‘positive marking’ approach; that is, marks are awarded for correct material in candidates’ answers, rather than being deducted for incorrect or missing material.
Remeber:
Guidance on NEBOSH Commands Words are very important to pass the NEBOSH in first attempt. NEBOSH Command Words

risks from electricity
What are the risks from electricity?
Harm can be caused to any person when they are exposed to ‘live parts’ that are either touched directly or indirectly by means of some conducting object or material. Voltages over 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC are considered hazardous.
Electricity can kill. Each year about 1000 accidents at work involving electric shocks or burns are reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Around 30 of these are fatal, most of them arising from contact with overhead or underground power cables.
Shocks from faulty equipment can cause severe and permanent injury and can also lead to indirect injuries, due to falls from ladders, scaffolds, or other work platforms.
Faulty electrical appliances can also lead to fires. As well as causing injuries and loss of life, fires cause damage to plant, equipment and property.
WHO IS MOST AT RISK FROM ELECTRICITY?
Anyone can be exposed to the dangers of electricity while at work and everyone should be made aware of the dangers.
Those most at risk include maintenance staff, those working with electrical plant, equipment and machinery, and people working in harsh environments such as construction sites.
Most electrical accidents occur because individuals:
- are working on or near equipment which is thought to be dead but which is, in fact, live
- are working on or near equipment which is known to be live, but where those involved are without adequate training or appropriate equipment, or they have not taken adequate precautions
- misuse equipment or use electrical equipment which they know to be faulty.
ASSESSING THE RISKS FROM ELECTRICITY
Consider the following hazards in your risk assessment:
Live parts Normal mains voltage, 230 volts AC, can kill. Also, contact with live parts can cause shocks and burns.
Fire Electrical faults can cause fires. This is particularly true where the equipment contains a heat source (e.g. heaters, including water heaters, washing machines, ovens, heat-seal packaging equipment).
Flammable or explosive atmospheres Electricity can be a source of ignition in a potentially flammable or explosive atmosphere, e.g. in spray paint booths or around refuelling areas.
Where and how electricity is used The risks from electricity are greatest in harsh conditions.
In wet conditions, unsuitable equipment can easily become live and can make its surroundings live.
While outdoors, equipment may not only become wet but may be at greater risk of damage.
In cramped with a lot of earthed metalwork, such as inside tanks, ducts and silos, if an electrical fault develops it can be very difficult to avoid a shock.
Types of equipment in use Some items of equipment can also involve greater risk than others. Extension leads are particularly liable to damage to their plugs and sockets, cables, and electrical connections. Other flexible leads, particularly those connected to equipment that is moved a great deal, can suffer from similar problems.
BASIC ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Below are some minimum steps you should take to ensure electrical safety.
Mains supplies
- install new electrical systems to BS 7671 Requirements for Electrical Installations
- maintain all electrical installations in good working order
- provide enough socket-outlets for equipment in use
- avoid overloading socket-outlets – using adaptors can cause fires
- provide an accessible and clearly identified switch (‘Emergency Off’ or ‘EMO’ button) near fixed machinery to cut off power in an emergency
- for portable equipment, connect to nearby socket-outlets so that it can be easily disconnected in an emergency.
Use the right equipment
- choose electrical equipment that is suitable for its working environment
- ensure that equipment is safe when supplied and maintain it in a safe condition
- electrical equipment used in flammable/explosive atmospheres should be designed not to produce sparks. Seek specialist advice when choosing this type of equipment.
- protect light bulbs and other easily damaged equipment – there is a risk of electric shock if they are broken.
Maintenance and repairs
- ensure equipment is fitted with the correctly rated fuse.
- ensure cable ends always have their outer sheaths firmly clamped to stop wires working loose from plugs or inside equipment
- replace damaged sections of cable completely – never repair cuts with insulating tape.
- use proper connectors to join lengths of cable – don’t use connector blocks covered in insulating tape or ‘splice’ wires by twisting them together
- some equipment is double insulated. These are often marked with a ‘double-square’ symbol. The supply leads have only two wires – live (brown) and neutral (blue)
- make sure all wires are connected securely if the 13A plug is not a moulded-on type.
GOOD PRACTICES:
Use other forms of power where possible Electrical risks can sometimes be eliminated by using air, hydraulic or hand-powered tools. These are especially useful in harsh conditions, but remember they could introduce other hazards.
Reduce the voltage Using lower voltages can reduce or eliminate the risks of electric shocks and burns:
- portable tools are available which can be run from a 110 volts, centre-tapped-to-earth supply, (usually from a transformer)
- where electrically powered tools are used, battery-operated are safest
- temporary lighting can be run at lower voltages, e.g. 12, 25, 50 or 110 volts.
Use Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for extra safety An RCD can provide additional safety. An RCD detects some (but not all) faults in the electrical system and rapidly switches off the supply.
The best place for an RCD is built into the main supply or the socket-outlet, as this means that the supply cables are permanently protected.
If this is not possible, use a plug incorporating an RCD or a plug-in RCD adaptor. RCDs for protecting people have a rated tripping current (sensitivity) of not more than 30 milliamps (mA).
Remember:
- an RCD is a valuable safety device – never bypass it
- if the RCD trips, it is a sign there is a fault. Check the system before using it again.
- if the RCD trips frequently and no fault can be found in the system, consult the manufacturer of the RCD
- use the RCD test button regularly to check that its mechanism is free and functioning

Accident Investigation
WHAT IS IT?
Accident investigation is the process of determining the root causes of accidents, on-the-job injuries, property damage, and close calls in order to prevent them from occurring again.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Accident investigation will lead you to the real cause of why something happened, and armed with that knowledge, you can take affirmative steps to prevent future accidents from occurring.
WHAT IS REQUIRED?
- Develop an accident investigation process that focuses on:
o fact finding, not fault finding
o determining the root causes of why the event occurred
o making changes so the event does not happen again.
- Set a policy that accidents and close calls (large and small) will be investigated with equal vigor.
- Provide training and tools to staff conducting accident investigations.
- Audit completed investigations to ensure they are being completed on a timely basis with an adequate level of detail.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Workplace accidents should be investigated as soon as possible after they occur. The goals of a timely and thorough accident investigation should be to:
- determine the cause of the accident
- prevent the accident from happening again
- improve health and safety conditions in the workplace
- determine whether a violation of federal or state safety and health standards contributed to the accident
- determine company or individual liability in case of future legal action
- determine the need for repairs or replacement of damaged items
- determine the need for additional education and training for employees.
A thorough and complete accident investigation involves several steps, specifically:
- background investigation
- site investigation
- interviews
- analysis and reporting.
The following outline discusses these steps in more detail.
Background investigation
- Review the employment and injury records of any injured employee(s) and/or others whose actions contributed to the accident.
- Review reports of any injuries and/or damage to equipment, machines, building, or property.
- Compile a list of witnesses to the accident.
- Gather information about normal conditions and/or operations of the area. Information would include maps, floor plans, wiring diagrams, and any other piping or architectural drawings or operational guidelines.
- Meet with supervisors and other employees responsible for the affected area and employees of the affected area to outline the purpose and goals of the investigation. Ensure that there is a basic understanding of the materials, equipment, operation, or process involved.
Site investigation
- Arrive at the scene of the accident as soon as possible after the incident has occurred.
- Restrict the accident scene to authorized persons during the site investigation.
- Ensure that movable evidence is secured to prevent tampering or other changes.
- Determine what physical changes may have occurred following the accident. Changes could be attributed to clean-up, weather, maintenance, and normal usage.
- Tour the entire area and record pertinent initial perceptions of the status and condition of building, grounds, equipment, lighting, and ventilation.
- Sketch or draw parts of the accident scene where equipment or machinery involved in the accident is located or where actions that contributed to the accident occurred. Use the following guidelines when sketching or drawing an accident scene:
- Use squared (graph) paper. If distance or size is important determine the value for each square and note this at the bottom of each sketch.
- Orient each sketch with an arrow pointing north.
- Label all objects.
- Use arrows to indicate paths of travel of individuals and/or vehicles.
- Indicate the distance of movable objects from two fixed locations.
- Note the location of witnesses present at the time of the accident.
- Take photographs of the overall scene, damaged areas, and pertinent machinery and/or equipment. Photographs should be made before any adjustments occur to the scene of the accident.
- Prior to taking photographs, determine if the area has been altered. If items have been moved or changed, do not move them back for photographs. Photograph items as found, yet document the change and the individual responsible or knowledgeable of the change.
- For close-ups, use reference items such as a ruler or level measurer to indicate size or slope of the items photographed. For each close-up, photograph the same item from a distance to provide a reference. Photograph the area where the injured worker(s) were found, using reference marks to indicate individuals’ placement.
Interviews
- Prepare a list of witnesses and other individuals to be interviewed.
- When possible, do not allow more than 24 hours to elapse before conducting interviews.
- Conduct interviews in a private setting to avoid interruptions and distractions.
- Prepare a list of questions in advance of any interview. Use questions that require narrative answers. Avoid questions that suggest an expected answer (Example: “Isn’t it true that the injured employee was running?”) or that can be answered with either “yes” or “no.” Questions should be structured from the following six key elements: Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?
o Who questions identify all parties involved.
o What questions identify pertinent actions, events, and physical objects.
o Where questions locate participants, witnesses, and key objects involved in the accident.
o When questions determine the time of the accident and establish relationships between pairs of activities or events.
o How questions provide information on the interaction and relationships among participants, equipment, and the events leading up to, during, and after the accident.
o Why questions determine unsafe acts or hazardous conditions.
- Before starting the interview, advise the person to be interviewed that the purpose of the session is to determine the cause of the accident and to prevent any future occurrence.
- Start the interview by asking the individual to describe what happened. Do not interrupt with questions.
- After the individual has given his or her initial statement, ask the prepared questions and any additional questions prompted by the individual’s statement.
- Record the individual’s statement, the questions asked, and the answers received in the order that they occur. Let the individual talk, but not ramble. Interrupt when necessary to turn the conversation back to the subject at hand.
- Close the interview when all questions have been answered and when the individual indicates no additional information can be provided. Encourage the individual to contact you if other pertinent information comes to mind. Immediately after the interview, review the individual’s statement and answers and record your impressions and judgments.
Analysis and reporting
After all fact-finding efforts are complete, analyze the data to determine all causes of the accident. Then prepare a comprehensive report outlining the identified causes and describing corrective measures to prevent similar future accidents. To best understand why an accident occurred and to plan for preventive actions, it is important to realize that most accidents have more than one cause. It is important to realize that an accident may be the result of the interaction of seemingly unrelated events.
Causes
The cause of an accident is any behavior, condition, act, or omission without which the accident may not have happened, or the severity of the injuries would have been less. Causes can be characterized as direct, indirect, or contributing.
- Direct causes are acts or omissions that directly relate to the accident. These could include workers or other individuals who:
o operate equipment in an unsafe manner or operate equipment known to have safety defects or deficiencies
o do not follow required or necessary safety precautions or procedures
o fail to correct known damage to or faulty operations of equipment, machinery, or vehicles.
- Indirect causes are conditions that directly contribute to the occurrence of a direct cause. These causes could include:
o defective or unusual conditions of equipment, machinery, vehicles, buildings, or grounds
o defective or unusual conditions of workers or other individuals, such as intoxication, physical defects or limitations, or psychological defects or limitations
o hazardous or unusual conditions of weather.
- Contributing causes are conditions, programs, acts, or omissions that are not directly related to the accident but did contribute to the occurrence or existence of a direct or indirect cause. These causes could include lack of or inadequate:
o safety program
o training programs
o preventive maintenance programs
o corrective maintenance programs
o supervision
o enforcement
o design of equipment, machinery, vehicles, or facilities
o advisory or warning communication, labels, or signs.
Analysis
- Collect and correlate data. The following are examples of materials that can be used to ascertain all causes related to the accident. These materials should be collected and organized to allow investigators to review all information at one time:
o summary of employment and injury records of pertinent employees
o summary of orientation and training records for pertinent employees
o summary of normal conditions and/or operation of the pertinent area
o description of usual and safe operations or use of materials, equipment, facilities, operations, or processes involved
o summary of inspections of materials, equipment, and facilities involved
o summary of witness statements that includes an outline of areas of agreement and disagreement between statements
o summary of pertinent records of preventive maintenance or repair
o written company policies or directives that pertain to the materials, equipment, facilities, operations, or processes involved.
- Review data and pose hypothetical causes. The investigator should review all pertinent data. After the initial review, the investigator should outline potential direct, indirect, and contributing causes. It is important that all potential causes be listed and that the investigator not draw preliminary conclusions as to the probability that a potential cause was or was not related to the incident. It may be helpful to have a second individual conduct an independent review of the pertinent data to list all of the potential causes.
- Test potential causes. Review again the pertinent data looking for specific data that affirm or reject each potential cause. Connect related direct, indirect, and contributing causes.
Reporting
A written report should be generated that contains the following sections:
- Statement of the problem. This section should include:
o a review of the incident
o a summary of injuries, lost time, and equipment and/or property damage.
- Review of the data. This section should include:
o a summary of witness statements
o a summary of relevant findings concerning the accident and work history of affected employees and the operation of machinery or equipment
o a storyboard with photographs or sketches
o an overview of existing, written company policies or directives.
- Causes. This section should list the direct, indirect, and contributing causes that have been affirmed by the data. A reference should be made to the data that support each cause.
- Recommendations. These should be based directly on each of the noted causes. These recommendations could include the following:
o more or improved training for employees
o new company policies or directives, or better clarification or dissemination of existing ones
o improved communication between employees, supervisors, and management
o design or operation changes or improvements to machines, equipment, or processes
o different or improved safety equipment
o different or improved protection from natural phenomena or disasters
o different or improved systems to account for possible physical, physiological, or psychological limitations of employees, customers, or others.

GC3 Guidance and information for candidates
Introduction
The submission must include:
Date of Assessment
Marking
Moderation
Retention of practical samples by accredited course providers
Completion of observation sheets
The observation sheets should be completed by:
Marking of observation sheets
Completion of report
Marking of report
Report – Introduction and Executive Summary
Report – Main findings of the inspection
Report – Conclusions and Recommendations
Command word & Definition
Command words are important to note while writing the examination.
Identify
– To give reference to an item, which could be its name or title.
NB: normally a word or phrase will be sufficient, provided the reference is clear.
Give
– To provide short, factual answers.
NB: normally a single word, phrase or sentence will be sufficient.
Outline
– To indicate the principal features or different parts of.
NB: an exhaustive description is not required. What is sought is a brief summary of the major aspects of whatever is stated in the question.
Describe
– To give a detailed written account of the distinctive features of a subject. The account should be factual, without any attempt to explain.
When describing a subject (or object) a test of sufficient detail would be that another person would be able to visualize what you are describing.
Explain
– To provide an understanding. To make an idea or relationship clear.
NB: this command word is testing the candidate’s ability to know or understand why or how something happens. Is often associated with the words ‘how’ or ‘why’.
Responding to command words in questions
It is important to read the whole question and to understand what the question requires as the command word on its own will need to be reinforced by the remainder of the question.
Many candidates miss out on gaining marks because they do not read the question carefully enough and do not think about their answer thoroughly before writing it down.
Candidates need to think about each question.
• Firstly, What is the command word?
•Furthermore, What do I need to say to gain marks?
•Finally, What is or is not relevant to the question?
In many cases a brief answer plan is an essential aid to ensuring that answers are well thought out and structured.
NEBOSH applies a ‘positive marking’ approach; that is, marks are awarded for correct material in candidates’ answers, rather than being deducted for incorrect or missing material.
In order to give further direction as to the detail of information required by the command word in a question, examples are given below both for general knowledge and for the IGC1 syllabus.
Identify
Applying identify to a non-syllabus related common subject:
Q1. Identify FOUR kitchen appliances.
Q2. Identify FOUR types of bicycle.
Sufficient answers would include:
A1. Toaster
Electric kettle
Microwave cooker
Dishwasher
A2. Mountain bike
Racing bike
Penny-farthing
Tandem
Note that giving only one or two word answers provides a clear reference and therefore is sufficient to satisfy an identify question.
Applying identify to syllabus subjects:
Sufficient answers would include:
Identify FOUR hazards associated with excavations.
Collapse of the sides
Water ingress
Falling materials
Underground services
Identify FOUR mechanical hazards associated with machinery.
Entanglement
Drawing in and trapping
Friction or abrasion
Stabbing or puncture
Identify FOUR types of safety sign.
Prohibition signs
Warning signs
Mandatory signs
Emergency or safe condition signs
Again, answers are limited to a brief phrase or in some cases just two words but do give clear reference.
Outline
To gain the marks for the outline example questions below, the same breadth of answer is required as for an identify answer, but now, additional information will be required to satisfy the depth of an outline.
Applying outline to the same non-syllabus subjects:
Sufficient answers would include:
Outline FOUR kitchen appliances.
Toaster
• Accommodates slices of bread, ejects as toast when ready.
Electric kettle
• 1 to 2 litre capacity, boils water. Can be cordless.
Microwave cooker
Heats food rapidly using short wavelength radio waves.
Dishwasher
• Dirty tableware placed in baskets. Mixture of high pressure water and detergent automatically cleans.
Outline FOUR types of bicycle.

Again, the identify answer (shown in bold) gives the breadth required and the additional information given in the bullet point satisfies the required depth for an outline.
Describe
Applying describe to the non-syllabus subjects:
Sufficient answers would be:
Describe a microwave cooker.
An oblong box shaped object, approximately 30cm tall, 30cm deep and 60cm long. There is a single hinged door at the front, typically see through. The door opens outwards and inside there is a space to place a plate or dish and a microwave transmitter is located above. Outside, on the front there will be normally two controls to set the power and cooking time.
Describe a penny-farthing bicycle.
A manually propelled vintage bicycle consisting of a very large wheel at the front and a much smaller wheel at the back. The wheels are connected by a frame that supports a seat above the front wheel and handlebars to steer. Pedals are connected directly to the centre of the front wheel.
Applying describe to a syllabus subject:
Describe the mechanical hazards associated with abench grinder.
An entanglement hazard would be associated with the rotating spindle that the abrasive wheel is mounted on. Drawing in and trapping is associated with the gap between the tool rest and the rotating abrasive wheel. Friction or abrasion hazards would be associated with the surface of the rotating abrasive wheel and stabbing or puncture hazards could be created by flying fragments or pieces of ejected broken wheel.
In all of the describe answers above, no attempt is made to explain how a microwave cooker heats food, why the front wheel of a penny-farthing is so much larger than the rear wheel or how a person could be injured using an abrasive wheel.
Explain
Applying explain to a non-syllabus subject:
Sufficient answers would include:
Explain how a microwave cooker heats up food.
The frequency of microwaves used in a microwave cooker is sufficient to cause water molecules in food to vibrate. Vibrating molecules hit other water molecules and put them into the same vibration and therefore this vibration of molecules is converted into heat.
Explain why there is a very large front wheel on a penny-farthing.
By having a large front wheel, the peripheral (rim speed) of the wheel is much faster than the rotation of the pedals at the centre. This results in faster forward speed per pedal rotation. Also a larger wheel is more suitable for riding on cobbled streets or rough ground.
Applying explain to a syllabus subject:
Explain how sensitive protective equipment (trip device) can reduce the risk of contact with moving parts of machinery.
Sensitive protective equipment is designed to identify the presence of a person or body part within the danger zone of machinery. Examples of such devices include pressure mats and light beams that are connected to the machine controls and would stop the machine rapidly should a person or body part be detected.
Give
Applying give to a non-syllabus subject:
Identify FOUR European cities AND give an example of a tourist attraction in EACH.
London – eg Buckingham Palace
Paris – eg Eiffel Tower
Pisa – eg Leaning Tower
Rome – eg Colosseum
Applying give to a syllabus subject:

• Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer
• Melanoma is nearly 100% curable if found early
• Melanoma can spread to other parts of the body, making treatment very difficult
• Melanoma originates in the melanocytes, the area in which melanine is produced
• Melanine is the brown pigment that darkens skin
RECOGNIZING SKIN CANCER
• Moles: The more moles that develop on the skin, the greater the chances for skin cancer
• Look for Dysplastic Nevi, or atypical moles
• Look for the following in irregular moles
o Irregular or hazy border
o Color variations of brown, light brown, blue or black
o Enlargement of an existing mole
o Development of a new mole
o Not round – oddly shaped

What is workplace violence?
VIOLENCE in WORKPLACE is violence or the threat of violence against workers.
It can occur at or outside the workplace and can range from threats and verbal abuse to physical assaults and homicide, one of the leading causes of job-related deaths. However it manifests itself, workplace violence is a growing concern for employers and employees nationwide.
Who is vulnerable?
2 million workers are victims of workplace violence each year. Workplace violence can strike anywhere, and no one is immune. Some workers, however, are at increased risk. Among them are workers who exchange money with the public; deliver passengers, goods, or services; or work alone or in small groups, during late night or early morning hours, in high-crime areas, or in community settings and homes where they have extensive contact with the public.
This group includes health-care and social service workers such as visiting nurses, psychiatric evaluators, and probation officers; community workers such as gas and water utility employees, phone and cable TV installers, and letter carriers; retail workers; and taxi drivers.
What can these employers do to help protect these employees?
The best protection employers can offer is to establish a zero-tolerance policy toward workplace violence against or by their employees. The employer should establish a workplace violence prevention program or incorporate the information into an existing accident prevention program, employee handbook, or manual of standard operating procedures. It is critical to ensure that all employees know the policy and understand that all claims of workplace violence will be investigated and remedied promptly.
In addition, employers can offer additional protections such as the following:
Provide safety education for employees so they know what conduct is not acceptable,what to do if they witness or are subjected to workplace violence, and how to protect themselves.
Secure the workplace. Where appropriate to the business, install video surveillance, extra lighting, and alarm systems and minimize access by outsiders through identification badges, electronic keys, and guards.
Provide drop safes to limit the amount of cash on hand. Keep a minimal amount of cash in registers during evenings and latenight hours.
Equip field staff with cellular phones and hand-held alarms or noise devices, and require them to prepare a daily work plan and keep a contact person informed of their location throughout the day. Keep employer provided vehicles properly maintained.
Instruct employees not to enter any location where they feel unsafe. Introduce a “buddy system” or provide an escort service or police assistance in potentially dangerous situations or at night.
Develop policies and procedures covering visits by home health-care providers. Address the conduct of home visits, the presence of others in the home during visits, and the worker’s right to refuse to provide services in a clearly hazardous situation.
How can the employees protect themselves?
Nothing can guarantee that an employee will not become a victim of workplace violence. These steps, however, can help reduce the odds:
Learn how to recognize, avoid, or diffuse potentially violent situations by attending personal safety training programs.
Avoid traveling alone into unfamiliar locations or situations whenever possible.
Carry only minimal money and required identification into community settings.
What should employers do following an incident of workplace violence?
Encourage employees to report and log all incidents and threats of workplace violence.
Provide prompt medical evaluation and treatment after the incident.
Report violent incidents to the local police promptly.
Inform victims of their legal right to prosecute perpetrators.
Discuss the circumstances of the incident with staff members. Encourage employees to share information about ways to avoid similar situations in the future.
Offer stress debriefing sessions and post traumatic counseling services to help workers recover from a violent incident.
Investigate all violent incidents and threats, monitor trends in violent incidents by type or circumstance, and institute corrective actions.
Discuss changes in the program during regular employee meetings.

Silica
Silica dust, often referred to as quartz, is a very common mineral. It is found in many materials common on construction sites, including soil, sand, concrete, masonry, rock, granite, and landscaping materials.
The dust created by cutting, grinding, drilling or otherwise disturbing these materials can contain crystalline silica particles.
These dust particles are very small. You cannot see them. This reparable silica dust causes lung disease and lung cancer. It only takes a very small amount of airborne silica dust to create a health hazard.
HAZARDS OF SILICA DUST
Crystalline silica is a common mineral in the earth’s crust, and is found in many types of rock including sand, quartz, and granite. Silica is present in both work and non-work environments, and exposure to crystalline silica dust has long been known to cause a disease called silicosis. When you inhale crystalline silica the lung tissue reacts by developing fibrous tissue around trapped silica particles. This condition of the lung is called silicosis.
Due to the extensive use of concrete and masonry products in buildings today, construction workers have a potential exposure to crystalline silica. Operations such as dumping of rock, jack hammering, abrasive blasting, sawing, drilling or demolition of concrete and masonry structures are some of the activities that could produce this exposure.
Silica sand or other substances containing more than 1% crystalline silica should never be used as abrasive blasting materials. Where silica exceeds 1% of the content, less hazardous materials should be substituted. In addition, always follow safe work practices when there is possible exposure to silica dust.
What are the symptoms of silicosis?
Silicosis is classified into three types: chronic/classic, accelerated, and acute. Chronic/classic silicosis, the most common, occurs after 15–20 years of moderate to low exposures to repairable crystalline silica.
Symptoms associated with chronic silicosis may or may not be obvious; therefore, workers need to have a chest x-ray to determine if there is lung damage. As the disease progresses, the worker may experience shortness of breath upon exercising and have clinical signs of poor oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange. In the later stages, the worker may experience fatigue, extreme shortness of breath, chest pain, or respiratory failure. Accelerated silicosis can occur after 5–10 years of high exposures to reparable crystalline silica. Symptoms include severe shortness of breath, weakness, and weight loss. The onset of symptoms takes longer than in acute silicosis.
Acute silicosis occurs after a few months or as long as 2 years following exposures to extremely high concentrations of repairable crystalline silica. Symptoms of acute silicosis include severe disabling shortness of breath, weakness, and weight loss, which often leads to death.
Where are general industry employees exposed to crystalline silica dust?
The most severe exposures to crystalline silica result from abrasive blasting, which is done to clean and smooth irregularities from molds, jewelry, and foundry castings, finish tombstones, etch or frost glass, or remove paint, oils, rust, or dirt form objects needing to be repainted or treated. Other exposures to silica dust occur in cement and brick manufacturing, asphalt pavement manufacturing, china and ceramic manufacturing and the tool and die, steel and foundry industries.
Crystalline silica is used in manufacturing, household abrasives, adhesives, paints, soaps, and glass. Additionally, crystalline silica exposures occur in the maintenance, repair and replacement of refractory brick furnace linings. In the maritime industry, shipyard employees are exposed to silica primarily in abrasive blasting operations to remove paint and clean and prepare steel hulls, bulkheads, decks, and tanks for paints and coatings.
What can employers/employees do to protect against exposures to crystalline silica?
■ Replace crystalline silica materials with safer substitutes, whenever possible.
■ Provide engineering or administrative controls, where feasible, such as local exhaust ventilation, and blasting cabinets. Where necessary to reduce exposures below the PEL, use protective equipment or other protective measures.
■ Use all available work practices to control dust exposures, such as water sprays.
■ Wear only a N95 NIOSH certified respirator, if respirator protection is required. Do not alter the respirator. Do not wear a tight-fitting respirator with a beard or mustache that prevents a good seal between the respirator and the face.
■ Wear only a Type CE abrasive-blast supplied-air respirator for abrasive blasting.
■ Wear disposable or washable work clothes and shower if facilities are available. Vacuum the dust from your clothes or change into clean clothing before leaving the work site.
■ Participate in training, exposure monitoring, and health screening and surveillance programs to monitor any adverse health effects caused by crystalline silica exposures.
■ Be aware of the operations and job tasks creating crystalline silica exposures in your workplace environment and know how to protect yourself.
■ Be aware of the health hazards related to exposures to crystalline silica. Smoking adds to the lung damage caused by silica exposures.
■ Do not eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics in areas where crystalline silica dust is present. Wash your hands and face outside of dusty areas before performing any of these activities.
■ Remember: If it’s silica, it’s not just dust.

Safety Glasses Work
Eye injuries are 100 percent preventable.
Your eyes are very delicate, made of thin tissues that can’t take much damage. You can’t blink fast enough to prevent an injury. Significant surgeries are required when serious damage occurs. Shavings, grindings and other particles can fly at high velocities into the eye.
1. Safety glasses are a barrier between your eyes and flying objects.
2. If there is ANY CHANCE of a flying object, wear protective eyewear.
3. Use ANSI-approved safety glasses.
4. Wear eye protection when grinding, buffing, cutting, sawing, chipping and using chemicals.
5. Bad eye injuries will require significant surgery, and at least some loss of vision will most likely result.

Atmospheric Testing in Confined Space
Atmospheric testing is required for two distinct purposes: evaluation of the hazards of the permit space and verification that acceptable conditions exist for entry into that space.
A confined space is one that is large enough to enter and perform assigned work in; it has limited or restricted ways to enter or exit the space; and it was not designed to be occupied continuously by a worker.
Evaluation testing
The atmosphere within a confined space must be tested using equipment that is designed to detect the chemicals that may be present at levels that are well below the defined exposure limits. Evaluation testing is done to:
• determine what chemical hazards are or may become present in the space’s atmosphere, and
• identify what steps must be followed and what conditions must be met to ensure that atmospheric conditions are safe for a worker to enter the space.
The testing results and the decisions about what steps must be followed before entry must be evaluated by, or reviewed by, a technically qualified professional
The technically qualified professional must consider all of the serious hazards in his/her evaluation or review.
A permit space is a confined space that has one or more of the following features: it has or may contain a hazardous atmosphere; it contains a material that can engulf a person who enters; it has an inside design that could trap or asphyxiate a person who enters (inwardly converging walls, or a floor that slopes downward to a smaller section); or it has any other serious safety or health hazards.
Verification Testing
Before a permit space that may have a hazardous atmosphere can be entered, the atmosphere must be tested using the steps identified on the permit (developed during evaluation testing).
Verification testing is done to make sure that the chemical hazards that may be present are below the levels necessary for safe entry, and that they meet the conditions identified on the permit. Test the atmosphere in the following order: (1) for oxygen, (2) for combustible gases, and then (3) for toxic gases and vapors.2 The testing results — the actual test concentrations — must be recorded on the permit near the levels identified for safe entry.
Duration of Testing
For each test required on the permit, you must allow enough time for the air from the space to be drawn into the equipment and for the sensor (or other detection device) to react to the chemical if it is present. This is considered the “minimum response time” and it will be noted by the manufacturer in the operator’s manual.
Be aware that you will need to add time to this “minimum response time” if you have attached hosing or a probe extension to the inlet. The additional time is needed to allow the air from the different depths of the space to be pulled into the equipment inlet.
Testing Conditions in Spaces that May Have Layered Atmospheres
For permit spaces that are deep or have areas leading away from the entry point, the atmosphere may be layered or may be different in remote areas. For these spaces, testing must be done in the area surrounding the worker, which is considered four (4) feet in the direction of travel and to each side. If a sample probe is used to do the testing,then the worker must move slowly enough so that testing is completed, keeping the equipment “response time” in mind, before he/she moves into the new area.
Retesting the Space During Entry or Before Re-Entry
Test the permit space routinely to make sure that the atmospheric conditions continue to be safe for entry.

TBT – TWO WHEEL HAND TRUCK
TOOL BOX TALKS
TBT Two-Wheel Hand Trucks
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Gloves that increase ability to grip cases.
Footwear with protective toe and mid sole.
BEST PRACTICES
For large quantity loads provide a four-wheel platform-style cart or a two-wheel hand truck that converts to a four-wheel platform-style truck.
This will minimize bending the torso.
Use a two-wheel truck with an adjustable toe plate – adjust the toe plate to approximately knee height to minimize torso bending.
INCLINES
When pushing up an incline the employee frequently has to lower the angle of the load togenerate enough force to push the load up the slope.
Lowering the load angle increases the amount of weight the employee must lift. In addition to providing force in a horizontal direction, the employee must now provide force in a vertical direction.
This places additional stress on the shoulders, back and legs.
Provide a fold down third wheel on the back of the hand truck so the load can be self supporting.
This ensures that the employee must only provide force in a horizontal direction.
CURBS AND STAIRS
Employees who deliver to locations without docks must pull fully loaded hand trucks over uneven walking surfaces, up and over curbs and up stairways.
Provide and use curb ramps.
Curb ramps allow for easy movement over uneven walking surfaces eliminating the need to lift and pull fully loaded hand trucks.
Use trucks that have several doors on the side so loads can be accessed by means other than the back door.
A short ramp from a side door could eliminate pulling the hand cart up steps and curbs.
MAINTENANCE
A poorly maintained hand truck will greatly increase physical stress on an employee.
When hand truck tires are under or unevenly pressurized, the employee’s arms, back, and legs must provide more force to move the hand truck.
Keep balloon tires in good repair and properly inflated.
Check tire pressure on a quarterly basis or more often if needed.
Make available to the employees a pressure gauge, air compressor, and pressure hose.
Hard rubber tires do not have the air pressure problems associated with balloon tires.
However, hard rubber tires do not move very well over rough terrain.

Rolling ladders and stairways are found in many warehouses, retail outlets and storage
facilities. Drivers of trucks also use rolling ladders in fire stations and truck stops to clean
windshields and service the tops of their trucks. Rolling ladders are made of lightweight
tubular steel that is welded to large steps, usually made of expanded steel treads. Rolling
ladders vary in height from short, two-step models to tall, twelve foot models. Review
these safety tips:
BACKGROUND
Each year , accidents involving ladders cause an estimated 300 deaths and 130,000 injuries
requiring emergency medical attention.
LADDER ACCIDENTS
Ladder accidents usually are caused by improper selection, care or use, not by manufacturing defects.
Some of the more common hazards involving ladders, such as instability, electrical shock, and falls,
can be predicted and prevented. Prevention requires proper planning, correct ladder
selection, good work procedures and adequate ladder maintenance.

LADDER SAFETY BASICS
Survey the area for overhead power lines before
setting up and climbing ladders.
Inspect ladders before climbing.
Never use a damaged or unsafe ladder.
Verify ladder capacity before climbing.
Don’t use them for anything other than the job
they’re intended to do.
Never stand on the top two steps of a stepladder,
and don’t use a step ladder as a straight ladder.
Raise extension ladders 3 feet (3 or 4 rungs) over the
landing area.
Tie off / secure extension ladders to prevent tip over
or kick out.
ROLLING LADDER SAFETY
Keep rolling ladders in good mechanical condition.
Rolling ladders that are stored outside should be protected from rain, snow and ice.
Rolling ladders that are stored outside should be inspected regularly for rust and corrosion.
Inspect rolling ladders before use.
Rolling ladders that have been damaged or “sprung” must be removed from service.
Rolling ladders that have missing rubber “feet” should have them replaced.
Rolling ladders should be climbed facing the ladder – not facing outward.
Climb rolling ladders using 3-point contact – do not carry loads that are too bulky or heavy.
Do not over reach – could cause ladder to tip.
Do not stand on the hand rails.
Do not move an occupied ladder.
Never stand with one foot on the ladder and the other on an object such as shelving.
Do not set up rolling ladders in areas where doors could swing open into the ladder.
Avoid setting up rolling ladders in direct proximity to forklift or vehicle traffic.
Do not tamper with or modify ladders.
Remove tools, equipment or boxes before moving a rolling ladder.
Use the step brake / lock if equipped.
Consider tying off / securing the rolling ladder if tipping is a concern.
Do not attempt to gain additional height by standing on boxes or buckets atop rolling ladder platforms.
Submit ladder maintenance requests / safety concerns in writing.

GC3 GUIDANCE
GC3 Tips
http://www.nebosh.org.uk/fileupload/upload/GC3%20Guidance%20and%20information%20for%20accredited%20course%20providers%20and%20candidates%20v3%200116%20%28060116%20rew%292322016191210.pdf
Gas and the workplace
The word ‘gas’ can be used to describe the physical state of many substances. While a number of gases have very specific safety requirements, this guidance relates to the use of gas as a fuel within the workplace.
Gas is commonly used in the workplace for heating the work environment and water supplies, cooking and for processing products.
The gas itself can come from a number of sources including natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and methane. The risks of explosion, poisoning, etc. are similar for all.
Gas can be supplied either piped into the premises from the mains supply or a storage tank, or in small cylinders used close to the appliance with a flexible hose connection.
The risks of using gas
When gas does not burn properly, or is used in an area without adequate ventilation, it produces excess carbon monoxide (CO) – a colourless, odourless gas. This can happen regardless of the type of gas being burned, whether from bottles or from a mains supply.
When inhaled, carbon monoxide binds with the haemoglobin in the blood. This reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, starving the body of oxygen and poisoning it.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include tiredness, drowsiness, headaches, nausea and chest and stomach pains.
In extreme cases, carbon monoxide poisoning can kill within a matter of hours.
There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning:
- if there is inadequate ventilation in the room where the appliance is located
- if the flue or chimney is blocked and cannot vent the system properly
- if the appliance has not been regularly maintained by a competent person
- if you use an inexperienced engineer not registered with the Gas safe registered engineers.
Gas safe registered engineers
The Gas Safe Register replaced the Council of Registered Gas Installers as the UK body that certifies gas engineers as being competent to install and maintain gas systems and appliances.
Registration is a legal requirement for anyone installing or repairing domestic gas fittings or appliances.
Different types of appliances need different knowledge. Make sure that the engineer is qualified to work on the correct type of equipment (see the back of their registration card). For example, some engineers servicing gas-fired heating systems may not be qualified to service gas catering equipment.
Always ask to see the engineer’s registration card. The card contains a photograph of the employee, their trading title, their registration number and the expiry date of the card.
The back of the card gives details of the types of gas work that they can carry out. If necessary, the Gas Safe Register can provide evidence of registration and confirmation that any certificate of registration is valid. The Gas Safe Register website lists registered installers across the UK, their contact details and areas of expertise.
Basic gas safety
To help reduce the risks presented by use of gas in the workplace:
- have new gas equipment supplied and fitted by a Gas safe registered engineers
- have all gas appliances serviced regularly by a Gas Safe Register engineer, in line with the manufacturers’ instructions
- keep the areas around external flue outlets clear of vegetation, etc. to make sure that combustion gases can be effectively removed
- ensure there is an adequate airflow around gas appliances.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) safety
LPG can refer to commercial propane or butane. LPG Autogas (LPGA) is a mixture of these two gases used as a vehicle fuel.
Additional precautions are required when using LPG:
- ensure adequate ventilation is available in the area where the gas is being stored and used, particularly at low level, since LPG is heavier than air
- have LPG appliances maintained by an engineer qualified to examine such equipment
- for mobile vehicles, make sure that the gas canister is secured and cannot be tampered with by vandals, etc.
- try to store as few gas cylinders as possible, arranging for more frequent deliveries where necessary, since storage facilities must meet certain safety standards
- make sure that gas storage facilities meet the standards laid down in The LPG Association Guidance (see further information).
When storing LPG, the LPG Association stipulates that:
- the storage area is secured against attack from vandals, etc.
- warning signage is in place to show the hazards associated with LPG
- cylinders are stored in an upright position (unless their labelling indicates that they can be stored otherwise)
- there is clear access to all cylinders
- fire fighting facilities are available
- the store and its surroundings are kept free of flammable sources and combustible materials including vegetation
- the storage area is located away from open drains.
(Code of Practice 7 – Storage of Full and Empty LPG Cylinders and Cartridges, The Liquid Petroleum Gas Association, 2004)
Gas suppliers can often provide guidance on this subject.
Installation and maintenance records for gas work
Detailed records should be kept of any maintenance work carried out on gas pipe work, appliances and/or flues.
Engineers will issue certificates for any work they carry out.
If the terms of the business premises’ lease state that the landlord is responsible for maintaining the gas system, ask to see copies of the maintenance records to make sure that they have been carried out properly and that any necessary repairs have been made.
Carbon monoxide detectors
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless and invisible gas that can kill within hours if inhaled. It is produced when methane, propane, LPG and other gases burn incompletely because of poor appliance maintenance or lack of ventilation.
For extra safety, install a carbon monoxide detector and alarm system anywhere gas is burned.
Make sure that the alarm meets safety standards BS 7860 or BS EN 50291, has a Kite mark and is sited in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Make sure the detector is tested regularly.
CO detectors are safety devices and are not a substitute for basic safety precautions and regular maintenance by a Corgi registered engineer.

OFFSHORE OIL RIG AND PLATFORM TYPES
RIG AND PLATFORM TYPES
Different types of offshore oil rigs and platforms are used depending on the offshore oil/gas field water-depth and situation. Rigs are used for the drilling of the wells and platforms are installed in the field for extracting oil/gas operation. Main types of rigs and platforms are briefly explained as follows: Drilling for natural oil/gas offshore, in some instances hundreds of miles away from the nearest landmass, poses a number of different challenges from drilling onshore. With drilling at sea, the sea floor can sometimes be thousands of feet below sea level. Therefore, while with onshore drilling the ground provides a platform from which to drill, at sea an artificial drilling platform must be constructed.
Movable offshore drilling platforms/rigs
There are two types of offshore drilling rings/platforms. The first type is movable offshore drilling rigs that can be moved from one place to another and the second type is the fixed rigs/platforms.
Drilling barges
Drilling barges are used mostly for inland, shallow water drilling. This typically takes place in lakes, swamps, rivers, and canals. Drilling barges are large, floating platforms, which must be towed by tugboat from location to location. Suitable for still, shallow waters, drilling barges are not able to withstand the water movement experienced in large open water situations.
Jackup platforms/rigs
Jackup rigs are similar to drilling barges, with one difference. Once a jackup rig is towed to the drilling site, three or four ‘legs’ are lowered until they rest on the sea bottom. This allows the working platform to rest above the surface of the water, as opposed to a floating barge. However, jackup rigs are suitable only for shallower waters, as extending these legs down too deeply would be impractical. This rig type can only operate to 500 feet in the depth of water. These rigs are typically safer to operate than drilling barges, as their working platform is elevated above the water level.
Submersible platforms/rigs
Submersible rigs, also suitable for shallow water, are like jackup rigs in that they come in contact with the ocean or lake floor. These rigs consist of platforms with two hulls positioned on top of one another. The upper hull contains the living quarters for the crew, as well as the actual drilling platform. The lower hull works much like the outer hull in a submarine – when the platform is being moved from one place to another, the lower hull is filled with air – making the entire rig buoyant. When the rig is positioned over the drill site, the air is let out of the lower hull, and the rig submerges to the sea or lake floor. This type of rig has the advantage of mobility in the water; however, once again its use is limited to shallow water areas.
Semi-submersible platforms/rigs
This is an offshore oil rig that has a floating drill unit that includes columns and pontoons that, if flooded with water, will cause the pontoons to submerge to a depth that is predetermined. Semi-submersible rigs are the most common type of offshore drilling rigs, combining the advantages of submersible rigs with the ability to drill in deep water. Semi-submersible rigs work on the same principle as submersible rigs; through the ‘inflating’ and ‘deflating’ of its lower hull. The rig is partially submerged, but still floats above the drill site. When drilling, the lower hull, filled with water, provides stability to the rig. Semi-submersible rigs are generally held in place by huge anchors, each weighing upwards of ten tons. These anchors, combined with the submerged portion of the rig, ensure that the platform is stable and safe enough to be used in turbulent offshore waters.
Semi-submersible rigs can also be kept in place by the use of dynamic positioning.
Semis-submersible rigs can be used to drill in much deeper water than the rigs mentioned above. Now with a leap in technology, depths of up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) can be achieved safely and easily. This type of rig platform will drill a hole in the seabed and can be quickly moved to new locations.
Drillships
Drillships are exactly as they sound: ships designed to carry out drilling operations. These boats are specially designed to carry drilling platforms out to deep-sea locations. A typical drillship will have, in addition to all of the equipment normally found on a large ocean ship, a drilling platform and derrick located on the middle of its deck. In addition, drillships contain a hole called a “moonpool”, extending right through the ship down through the hull, which allows for the drill string to extend through the boat, down into the water. This offshore oil rig can drill in very deep waters.
Drillships use ‘dynamic positioning’ systems. Drillships are equipped with electric motors on the underside of the ships hull, capable of propelling the ship in any direction. These motors are integrated into the ships computer system, which uses satellite positioning technology, in conjunction with sensors located on the drilling template, to ensure that the ship is directly above the drill site at all times.
Fixed platforms
In certain instances, in shallow water, it is possible to physically attach a platform to the sea floor. This is what is shown above as a fixed platform rig. The ‘legs’ are constructed of concrete or steel, extending down from the platform, and fixed to the seafloor with piles. With some concrete structures, the weight of the legs and seafloor platform is so great, that they do not have to be physically attached to the seafloor, but instead simply rest on their own mass. There are many possible designs for these fixed, permanent platforms. The main advantages of these types of platforms are their stability; as they are attached to the sea floor, there is limited exposure to movement due to wind and water forces. However, these platforms cannot be used in extremely deep water; it simply is not economical to build legs that long.
Template (jacket) platforms
This type of fixed platform is the one usually installed in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Mexico, Nigeria, and California shorelines and is made of steel (Sadeghi 1989, 2001). Template platforms mainly consist of jacket, decks and piles.
All of the petroleum platforms installed in the Persian Gulf are of the Template (Jacket) type. At the present time about 145 template platforms belonging to Iran and about 130 template platforms belonging to Arabian countries are installed in the Persian Gulf. Figure 2 shows one template platform.
Compliant Towers (Tower platforms)
Compliant towers are much like fixed platforms. They consist of a narrow tower, attached to a foundation on the seafloor and extending up to the platform. This tower is flexible, as opposed to the relatively rigid legs of a fixed platform. This flexibility allows it to operate in much deeper water, as it can ‘absorb’ much of the pressure exerted on it by the wind and sea. Despite its flexibility, the compliant tower system is strong enough to withstand hurricane conditions.
Seastar platforms
Seastar platforms are like miniature tension leg platforms. The platform consists of a floating rig, much like the semi-submersible type discussed above. A lower hull is filled with water when drilling, which increases the stability of the platform against wind and water movement. In addition to this semi-submersible rig, however, Seastar platforms also incorporate the tension leg system employed in larger platforms. Tension legs are long, hollow tendons that extend from the seafloor to the floating platform. These legs are kept under constant tension, and do not allow for any up or down movement of the platform. However, their flexibility does allow for side-to-side motion, which allows the platform to withstand the force of the ocean and wind, without breaking the legs off. Seastar platforms are typically used for smaller deep-water reservoirs, when it is not economical to build a larger platform. They can operate in water depths of up to 3,500 feet.
Floating production systems
Floating production systems are essentially semi-submersible drilling rigs, as discussed above, except that they contain petroleum production equipment, as well as drilling equipment. Ships can also be used as floating production systems. The platforms can be kept in place through large, heavy anchors, or through the dynamic positioning system used by drillships. With a floating production system, once the drilling has been completed, the wellhead is actually attached to the seafloor, instead of up on the platform.
The extracted petroleum is transported via risers from this wellhead to the production facilities on the semi-submersible platform. These production systems can operate in water depths of up to 6,000 feet.
Tension leg platforms
Tension leg platforms are larger versions of the Seastar platform. The long, flexible legs are attached to the seafloor, and run up to the platform itself. As with the Seastar platform, these legs allow for significant side to side movement (up to 20 feet), with little vertical movement. Tension leg platforms can operate as deep as 7,000 feet.
Subsea system
Subsea production systems are wells located on the sea floor, as opposed to at the surface. As in a floating production system, the petroleum is extracted at the seafloor, and then can be ‘tied-back’ to an already existing production platform. The well can be drilled by a moveable rig, and instead of building a production platform for that well, the extracted oil and natural gas can be transported by a riser or even undersea pipeline to a nearby production platform. This allows one strategically placed production platform to service many wells over a reasonably large area. Subsea systems are typically in use at depths of 7,000 feet or more, and do not have the ability to drill, only to extract and transport.
Spar Platforms
Spar platforms are among the largest offshore platforms in use. These huge platforms consist of a large cylinder supporting a typical fixed rig platform. The cylinder however does not extend all the way to the seafloor, but instead is tethered to the bottom by a series of cables and lines. The large cylinder serves to stabilize the platform in the water, and allows for movement to absorb the force of potential hurricanes. The first Spar platform in the Gulf of Mexico was installed in September of 1996. It’s cylinder measured 770 feet long, and was 70 feet in diameter, and the platform operated in 1,930 feet of water depth.
Design of offshore fixed platforms The most commonly used offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, Nigeria, California shorelines and the Persian Gulf are template type platforms made of steel, and used for oil/gas exploration and production (Sadeghi 1989, 2001).
The design and analyses of these offshore structures must be made in accordance with recommendations published by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
The design and analysis of offshore platforms must be done taking into consideration many factors, including the following important parameters:
- Environmental (initial transportation, and in-place 100-year storm conditions)
- Soil characteristics
- Code requirements (e.g. American Institute of Steel Construction “AISC” codes)
- Intensity level of consequences of failure The entire design, installation, and operation must be approved by the client.
Different analyses needed for template platforms
Different main analyses required for design of a template (jacket) type platform are as follows (Sadeghi 2001):
- In-place analysis
- Earthquake analysis
- Fatigue analysis
- Impact analysis
- Temporary analysis
- Loadout analysis
- Transportation analysis
- Appurtenances analysis
- Lift/Launch analysis
- Upending analysis
- Uprighting analysis
- Unpiled stability analysis
- Pile and conductor pipe drivability analysis
- Cathodic protection analysis
- Transportation analysis
- Installation analysis.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S) is a toxic, flammable, colorless, liquefied gas. Hydrogen Sulfide has a distinct “rotten-egg” smell. The odor cannot be relied on as an adequate warning of the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide because at high concentrations olfactory fatigue occurs. Inhalation of high concentrations of this gas can result in unconsciousness, coma, and death. Direct contact with liquid Hydrogen Sulfide can cause frostbite. Hydrogen Sulfide poses an immediate fire hazard when mixed with air. The gas is heavier than air, and may spread long distances. Distant ignition and flashback are possible. Flame or high temperature impinging on a localized area of a cylinder of Hydrogen Sulfide can cause the cylinder to explode without activating the cylinder’s relief devices. Provide adequate fire protection during emergency response situations. Contact with the liquid (or, contact with rapidly expanding gases) may cause frostbite.
ACUTE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
EYE CONTACT:
Inflammation and irritation of the eyes can occur at very low airborne concentration (less than 10 ppm). Exposure over several hours may result in “gas eyes” or “sore eyes” with symptoms of scratchiness, irritation, tearing and burning. Above 50 ppm, there is an intense tearing, blurring of vision, and pain when looking at light. Exposed individuals may see rings around bright lights. Most symptoms disappear when exposure ceases. However, in serious cases, the eye can be permanently damaged. In addition to irritation, contact of the eyes with the liquid can cause frostbite.
INGESTION:
Ingestion of Hydrogen Sulfide is not a likely route of industrial exposure. INHALATION: Inhalation of high concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide can cause dizziness, headache, and nausea. Exposure to higher concentrations can result in respiratory arrest, coma, or unconsciousness. Exposure for more than 30 minutes at concentrations of greater than 600 ppm have been fatal. Continuous inhalation of low concentrations may cause olfactory fatigue, so that the odor is no longer an effective warning of the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide. Severe exposures which do not result in death may cause long-term symptoms such as memory loss, paralysis of facial muscles, or nerve tissue damage.
SKIN CONTACT:
The gas may be irritating to the skin. Direct contact with liquid or rapidly expanding gases (which are released under high pressure) may cause frostbite. Symptoms of frostbite include change in skin color to white or grayish-yellow. The pain after contact with liquid can quickly subside.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE:
ROUTE OF ENTRY: Inhalation, skin contact
TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory system, skin, central nervous system.
SYMPTOMS: The most significant symptoms of chronic, low level exposure are related to the central nervous system, with potential nerve tissue damage. Repeated low level skin exposure may cause dermatitis.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Acute or chronic respiratory conditions or eye disorders may be aggravated by over-exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide.
CARCINOGENICITY: Hydrogen Sulfide is not found on the FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP, CAL/OSHA, or IARC Carcinogenicity lists.
FIRST AID MEASURES
EYE CONTACT: If liquid is splashed into eyes, or if irritation of the eye develops after exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide, open victim’s eyes while under gentle, lukewarm, running water. Use sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim “roll” eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention from an ophthalmologist.
INGESTION: Ingestion is an unlikely route of exposure for Hydrogen Sulfide.
INHALATION: Remove victim(s) to fresh air, as quickly as possible. Trained personnel should administer supplemental oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, if necessary.
SKIN CONTACT: If liquid is spilled on skin, or if irritation of the skin develops after exposure to liquid or gas, immediately begin decontamination with running water. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate medical attention. In case of frostbite, place the frostbitten part in warm water.
DO NOT USE HOT WATER. If warm water is not available, or is impractical to use, wrap the affected parts gently in blankets. Alternatively, if the fingers or hands are frostbitten, place the affected area in the armpit. Encourage victim to gently exercise the affected part while being warmed. Seek immediate medical attention.
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS: Administer oxygen, if necessary and treat symptoms. Be observant for initial signs of pulmonary edema.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: Flammable gas
AUTO IGNITION: 500 °F (260 °C)
FLAMMABLE RANGE: (LEL): 4.0% (UEL): 44.0%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Extinguish Hydrogen Sulfide fires by shutting-off the source of the gas. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers, structures, and equipment. Other appropriate extinguishing media are dry chemical, foam, and carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Evacuate all personnel from area. If possible without risk, shut off source of gas, then fight fire according to types of materials burning. Extinguish fire only if gas flow can be stopped. This will avoid possible accumulation and re-ignition of a flammable gas mixture. Keep adjacent cylinders cool by spraying with large amounts of water until the fire burns itself out. For small releases, if it is not possible to stop the leak, and it does not endanger personnel, let the fire burn itself out. Incipient fire res-ponders should wear eye protection. Structural fire fighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment, including fire resistant clothing. Large fires should be fought from a distance with an unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles. If this product is involved in a fire, fire run-off water should be contained to prevent possible environmental damage. If necessary, decontaminate fire-response equipment with soap and water solution.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed to elevated temperatures. Pressure in a cylinder can build-up due to heat and it may rupture if pressure relief devices should fail to function. An extreme explosion hazard exists in areas in which the gas has been released but the material has not yet ignited.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of sulphur
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Evacuate immediate area. Eliminate any possible sources of ignition, and provide maximum explosion-proof ventilation. Shut off source of leak, if possible. Isolate any leaking cylinder. If leak is from container, pressure relief device or its valve, contact your supplier. If leak is in user’s system, close cylinder valve, safely vent pressure and purge with inert gas before attempting repairs. Protection of all personnel and the area must be maintained. All res-ponders must be adequately protected from exposure. Monitoring should be done for the levels of Hydrogen Sulfide. Colorimetric tubes are available to detect the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide. Levels of Hydrogen Sulfide should be below levels listed in Section 2 (Composition / Information on Ingredients) and the atmosphere must have at least 19.5% oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-contained breathing apparatus. Combustible vapor levels must be below 0.4%, which is 10% of the LEL of Hydrogen Sulfide, prior to entry.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE: Store cylinders in a well-ventilated, secure area, protected from the weather. Cylinders should be stored up-right with valve outlet seals and valve protection caps in place. Storage should be away from heavily traveled areas and emergency exits. There should be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment should be explosion-proof in the storage areas. Storage areas must meet National Electrical Codes for Class 1 hazardous areas. Flammable storage areas should be separated from oxygen and other oxidizers by a minimum distance of 20 ft. or by a barrier of non-combustible material at least 5 ft. high, having a fire resistance rating of at least 1/2 hour. Post “No Smoking or Open Flames” signs in the storage and use areas. Do not allow storage temperature to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. Consideration should be taken to install leak detection and alarm equipment for storage areas.
HANDLING: Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use a pressure reducing regulator to safely discharge product from cylinder. Use a check valve to prevent reverse flow into cylinder. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the cylinder. Once cylinder has been connected to properly purged and inerted process, open cylinder valve slowly and carefully. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. All piped systems and associated equipment must be grounded. Electrical equipment should be non-sparking or explosion-proof.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue; exposures to fatal concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide could occur without any significant warning symptoms. All work operations should be monitored in such a way that emergency personnel can be immediately contacted in the event of a release. All work practices should minimize the release of Hydrogen Sulfide
Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (telephone 703-412-0900) pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may require specific equipment for storage and use.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION: Hydrogen Sulfide detectors should be installed in or near areas where Hydrogen Sulfide is being used or stored. If appropriate, install automatic monitoring equipment to detect the level of oxygen and the presence of potentially explosive air-gas mixtures. Because of the high hazard associated with Hydrogen Sulfide, stringent control measures such as a gas cabinet enclosure or isolation may be necessary. Provide natural or explosion-proof ventilation adequate to ensure Hydrogen Sulfide does not reach exposure limits listed in Section 2. (Composition / Information on Ingredients). Local exhaust ventilation is preferred, because it prevents gas dispersion into the work place by eliminating it at its source.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Maintain exposure levels of Hydrogen Sulfide below the levels listed in Section 2 (Composition / Information on Ingredients). Use supplied air respiratory protection if Hydrogen Sulfide levels exceed exposure limits or during emergency response to a release of this product. If respiratory protection is required, follow the requirements of the Federal OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), or equivalent State standards. The following NIOSH respiratory protection recommendations are for Hydrogen Sulfide. Up to 100 ppm – Powered air purifying respirator with cartridge(s) to protect against hydrogen sulfide; or gas mask with canister to protect against hydrogen sulfide; or SAR; or full-face piece SCBA.
Emergency Use: Emergency or Planned Entry into Unknown Concentration or IDLH Conditions: Positive pressure, full-face piece SCBA; or positive pressure, full-face piece SAR with an auxiliary positive pressure SCBA. Gas mask with canister to protect against hydrogen sulfide; or escape-type SCBA. The IDLH concentration for Hydrogen Sulfide is 100 ppm. High concentrations may be within the flammable range and must not be entered.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses. Additionally, face-shields should be worn if there is a potential for contact with liquid Hydrogen Sulfide. Eye wash stations/safety showers should be near areas where Hydrogen Sulfide is used or stored.
SKIN PROTECTION: Work gloves are recommended when handling cylinders of Hydrogen Sulfide. Use thermally insulated gloves when working with containers of Liquid Hydrogen Sulfide. Wear chemically-resistant gloves when using this gas. Butyl rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, neoprene nitrile, and polyvinyl rubber are recommended. Use fire-resistant gloves and clothing in emergency situations. Use double gloves for spill response.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use body protection appropriate for task. Static-resistant clothing is recommended. Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders. Transfer of large quantities under pressure may require use of fire retardant and/or chemically impervious clothing.

AMPUTATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
AMPUTATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
sources of amputations in the workplace?Amputations are some of the most serious and debilitating workplace injuries. They are widespread and involve a variety of activities and equipment. Amputations occur most often when workers operate unguarded or inadequately safeguarded mechanical power presses, power press brakes, powered and non-powered conveyors, printing presses, roll-forming and roll bending machines, food slicers, meat grinders, meat-cutting band saws, drill presses, and milling machines as well as shears, grinders, and slitters. These injuries also happen during materials handling activities and when using forklifts and doors as well as trash compactors and powered and non-powered hand tools. Besides normal operation, the following activities involving stationary machines also expose workers to potential amputation hazards: settingup, threading, preparing, adjusting, cleaning, lubricating, and maintaining machines as well as clearing jams.
What types of machine components are hazardous?
The following types of mechanical components present amputation hazards:
Point of operation—the area of a machine where it performs work on material.
Power-transmission apparatuses—flywheels, pulleys, belts, chains, couplings, spindles, cams, and gears in addition to connecting rods and other machine components that transmit energy.
Other moving parts—machine components that move during machine operation such as reciprocating, rotating, and transverse moving parts as well as auxiliary machine parts.
What kinds of mechanical motion are hazardous?
All mechanical motion is potentially hazardous. In addition to in-running nip points (“pinch points”)—which occur when two parts move together and at least one moves in a rotary or circular motion that gears, rollers, belt drives, and pulleys generate—the following are the most common types of hazardous mechanical motion:
Rotating—circular movement of couplings, cams, clutches, flywheels, and spindles as well as shaft ends and rotating collars that may grip clothing or otherwise force a body part into a dangerous location.
Reciprocating—back-and-forth or up-and down action that may strike or entrap a worker between a moving part and a fixed object.
Transversing—movement in a straight, continuous line that may strike or catch a worker in a pinch or shear point created between the moving part and a fixed object.
Cutting—action generated during sawing, boring, drilling, milling, slicing, and slitting.
Punching—motion resulting when a machine moves a slide (ram) to stamp or blank metal or other material.
Shearing—movement of a powered slide or knife during metal trimming or shearing.
Bending—action occurring when power is applied to a slide to draw or form metal or other materials.
What can employers do to help protect workers from amputations?
You should be able to recognize, identify, manage, and control amputation hazards commonly found in the workplace such as those caused by mechanical components of machinery, the mechanical motion that occurs in or near these components, and the activities that workers perform during mechanical operation. Work practices, employee training, and administrative controls can help prevent and control amputation hazards. Machine safeguarding with the following equipment is the best way to control amputations caused by stationary machinery:
Guards provide physical barriers that prevent access to hazardous areas. They should be secure and strong, and workers should not be able to bypass, remove, or tamper with them. Guards should not obstruct the operator’s view or prevent employees from working.
Devices help prevent contact with points of operation and may replace or supplement guards. Devices can interrupt the normal cycle of the machine when the operator’s hands are at the point of operation, prevent the operator from reaching into the point of operation, or withdraw the operator’s hands if they approach the point of operation when the machine cycles. They must allow safe lubrication and maintenance and not create hazards or interfere with normal machine operation. In addition, they should be secure, tamperresistant, and durable.
You are responsible for safeguarding machines and should consider this need when purchasing machinery. New machinery is usually available with safeguards installed by the manufacturer. You can also purchase appropriate safeguards separately or build them in-house.
Are certain jobs particularly hazardous for some employees?
Yes. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Secretary of Labor has designated certain nonfarm jobs as especially hazardous for employees under the age of 18. These workers generally are prohibited from operating band saws, circular saws, guillotine shears, punching and shearing machines, meatpacking or meat-processing machines, paper products machines, woodworking machines, metal-forming machines, and meat slicers.
Trips, Slips and Falls
Problem:
People fall by tripping over some object
such as a tool on the floor, stairs or walkways.
Solution:
To remedy this situation it is necessary that all places where people walk be kept clear of such tripping hazards. Employees must not leave tools or materials in places where they or others can trip over them. Work areas should be designed and arranged to eliminate pipe, conduit, supports, etc., at the floor level. Tools and other equipment should be placed in their proper storage areas when not being used.
Problem:
People fall by stumbling into holes in the floor or over uneven floors caused by loose boards, cracked concrete, etc.
Solution:
The obvious remedy for this situation is to keep floors in good condition and to repair defects as they occur. The actual prevention job may require the elimination of the causes of worn floors, such as steel wheeled carts and hand trucks, excessive vibration of machines, or too heavy loading of the floor for the type of construction.
Tripping and Stumbling Hazards
Objects out of place Objects or materials in walkways Tools on the floor Projecting parts of machines or equipment Equipment or material on stairs Scrap or waste materials Pipe or conduit set near floor level Extension cords, power cables, air hoses, welding cables, fuel, gas and oxygen hoses Uneven floor surface: Holes and depressions in floor or other walkway Projections—warped or loose boards or blocks Broken floor surface Uneven patches Uncovered drains, pits Bent floor boards or plates Loose or poorly fitted grating Sudden changes in pitch or elevation Sagging or expanded floor supports |
Problem: People fall by slipping on floors, stairs, etc. which are wet from water, oil or chemicals.
Solution: If it is unavoidable for the floor to be wet, the flooring should be of nonslip type, or the employees should wear shoes with nonskid soles, or both. If the floors are normally dry, water spillage should be cleaned up immediately. Spilled oil, grease or chemicals should be removed at once and the source of the spill checked and corrected.
Slipping Hazards
Wet floors, stairs, walkways: Water Oil or grease Chemicals Smooth floors, stairs, walkways: Waxed, polished surface Metal plate or cover Tile, terrazzo, marble |
Problem: People not seeing where they are stepping. This may be caused by poorly lighted areas; by carrying or pushing loads that are so large as to obstruct the view; or by being distracted and not paying attention to where they are going.
Solution:
Observation and recognition of these hazards by supervisors or other workers should be reported to the proper authority immediately. Supervisors have the additional special responsibilities with regard to safety in the workplace of encouraging safe work habits and correcting unsafe ones, explaining to the workers all the potential hazards associated with their work areas and being responsive to employee requests for action or information regarding possible hazards in the workplace.
Problem:
People fall because of faulty stairs or handrails. Narrow, unevenly spaced, broken treads or stairs that are too steep present conditions that are unnatural. Broken, improperly set or lack of handrails can result in falls that could have been prevented.
Solution:
People learn to walk on standard stairs and get into the habit of stepping a certain distance. Any variation of the stair is liable to cause a misstep. Be sure that fixed industrial stairs are installed: with a minimum width of 22 inches; with angles to the horizontal of between 30 and 50 degrees (See Table D-1); with treads that are reasonably slip resistant; with rise height and tread width that is uniform throughout the flight of stairs; designed and constructed to carry a load at least five times the anticipated weight; with a minimum vertical clearance of seven feet; and with standard railings provided and installed in accordance with §1910.23 and 1910.24.
Problem: People fall from high places.
Solution:
Walkways, tramways, scaffolds and piles are hazardous unless proper safeguards and safe work methods are used. Use the proper personal protective equipment for the situation. Be sure to check over all equipment before use to ensure it is in good condition. Keep all areas clean: no scrap, loose tools or tangled lines. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to the letter on all equipment.

Problem: People fall because of unsafe ladders. Ladders may be unsafe because of their construction, condition or use.
Solution: It is necessary that ladders be inspected carefully at regular periods to detect and correct any structural defects or unsafe conditions, such as sharp edges, splinters or burrs. Training should be provided concerning safety-related work practices relating to ladders, and employees should be required to use the safe practices.
