Someone commented that the “hands and fingers are the instruments of the mind.” If that is true, it must become very difficult to be productive when your hands are injured or lost as a result of an accident. Whatever the construction craft, a worker must be able to use both hands in order to get the job accomplished. Causes of Hand Injuries: Inattention. Taking chances. Exposure to rough

Safe operating rules and practices are to be established during the planning meeting at the start of the job as dictated by the hazards inherent in the nature of the work, federal and state Safety and Health Regulations, company policies, and owner and other regulatory agency requirements. Other safety rules may have to be added as the work progresses due to changed conditions, new methods, new

How often have you had an accident in the past year? Have injuries happened to you more often than to your co-workers?If so, do you really know what caused each of those incidents? It’s human nature to find excuses when we make a mistake or do something wrong. We tend to look for reasons outside ourselves when something bad happens to us. But if we don’t understand what has caused our problems,

Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse healtheffect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss.For example: The risk of developing cancer from smoking cigarettes could be expressed as "cigarette smokers are 12 times (for example) more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers". Another way of

The meaning of the word hazard can be confusing. Often dictionaries do not give specific definitions or combine it with the term "risk". For example, one dictionary defines hazard as "a danger or risk" which helps explain why many people use the terms interchangeably.There are many definitions for hazard but the more common definition when talking about workplace health and safety is:A hazard is

It's been a week or more now I haven't post anything due to me taking the NEBOSH Certificate course. It is a 2 weeks course with 2 papers and 1 practical exam. The question is quite hard I might say, but I'm glad I'm taking it. The course let me understand more on how to implement what I have been learning in my Diploma. Overall, it's a good experience for me. Hopefully I will pass it and then

One of the most significant health hazards in the welding process is the generation of fumes and gasses. Do you weld on galvanized metals? Zinc is the coating used on galvanized metals, and when you heat the metal, it produces vaporized metal droplets which are called fumes. This is the smoky haze which consists of fine particles of metals or silicates. When you breathe these fumes, they may work

Protecting yourself when performing welding operations depends on your understanding of the hazards involved and the proper way to control them. Control of welding hazards include avoiding eye injury, respiratory protection, ventilation of the work area, protective clothing and having safe equipment to use. Eye hazards include exposure to ultraviolet and infrared light. Welders and their helpers

I've been working in shipbuilding industry for 6 month now. From what i see, most of the activities involves cutting and welding of metal. So i think this occurs is every workplace as well. Most of us don't really know what are the hazards and dangers associated with welding and cutting activities. So i would like to dedicate this day as "Welding and Cutting Awareness Day".

As you leave the workplace today, look up, down and all around, observing the beauty around you. See the blue sky, the many shades of leaves in the trees, and the different birds that occupy them. When you get home, watch your children playing in the yard and pay attention to how their eyes light up when Daddy or Mommy gets home. Have you ever stopped to think how wonderful your eyesight really

Infection is often called 'Blood Poisoning'. It might be of interest to know exactly what is meant by 'Blood Poisoning'. The term itself indicates that it is a poisoning directly related to blood.There are two ways in which a poison can attack our bodies. It may be taken in through the mouth and enter the body by way of the digestive organs, or it may enter directly into the blood stream through

When reading Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), you will frequently encounter strange abbreviations that can make understanding the data sheet difficult. While these abbreviations may look confusing at first, it is important that the datasheets provide the correct technical information. In order to take the correct precautions when using a specific chemical you must know the hazards that

When working during hot weather, we may suffer heat exhaustion or sunstroke. Heat exhaustion is caused by the loss of body salt, and sunstroke occurs when the body mechanism is not able to keep the system cool. Following are the symptoms of these ailments and the steps we should take to aid the victim. Symptoms: The first signs of heat exhaustion are dizziness, weakness, headache, blurred vision

We use solvents practically every day in our lives. At work, we may use or be exposed to solvents when we come in contact with paints, coatings, while using dip tanks, thinners, degreasers, cleaners, glues or mastics. As a result of this widespread usage, it is important to know some of the hazards that are associated with the group of chemicals, generally called “solvents.”For practical purposes

There has been a lot of talk lately about a nationwide "sleep deficit." Apparently, people are not getting enough sleep.Because of this, fatigue has been found to be a contributing factor in a number of high visibility accidents, such as ThreeMile Island, Chernobyl, and some air transport incidents. Assuming this is true, perhaps this is an important safetyconcern.Probably the greatest hazard

You have most likely heard the message that an impaired worker is an unsafe worker. Usually we think of a worker thatis impaired as one who comes to work under the influence of a chemical. Drugs and alcohol probably come first to yourmind when we talk about chemical impairment. Chemically, a healthy body is well balanced. Impairment occurs whenthe drugs alter your blood chemistry.

Modern day paints are complex chemical mixtures of pigments for color, binders that cause paint to adhere to surfaces, and solvents that make the application easier and smoother.Pigments can contain hazardous materials such as lead, zinc, chromium, titanium dioxide, and silicates, as well as other hazardous substances. Binders can contain alkyd and epoxy resins that are classified as

In all working environments, whether at a job site, plant or office, one of the most challenging hazards to control is poor housekeeping. Keeping the work area clean is a full time, often frustrating task. And no matter how hard you try, it usually doesn’t stay clean for very long. Nevertheless it is critical to keep the work area free from clutter. And if one or two crew members are careless or

POLYCHLORINATED BI-PHENYLS (PCB’s) are a common chemical hazard, in spite of the fact that use has been banned since 1979. They are widely used in older electrical equipment as an insulating (di-electric) fluid. They generally have a consistency of light machine oil. They are noted for their high resistance to electrical flow, non-reactivity and low vaporization rates.Normally, PCBs are found in

When you are working overhead — on a roof, a ladder, or a scaffold—look out for anyone who may be working below. Most of us would feel pretty bad if we dropped a tool or debris that caused an injury to someone else. Why take a chance? Here are a few ways you can prevent this from happening.When working overhead, keep track of where your tools are so they don’t get knocked off. As much as possible

Your eye has some natural protection but does not have much in the way of a built-in defense against infection. There are few blood vessels in the eye so the eye does not heal as fast as other parts of the body. Your retina (one of many eye parts) is made up mostly of nerves, which do not re-grow if injured. Because of the lack of built-in defenses, the eye is more likely to suffer permanent
