    LP33 General Environment Control Measure

    Uploaded by

    Glenn Fortades Salandanan
    This document discusses occupational health and safety procedures for controlling hazards and risks, specifically in carpentry. It outlines four performance standards including following OHS procedures, dealing with workplace accidents and emergencies, and correctly using personal protective equipment. It then describes three types of hazard control measures: engineering controls which eliminate or reduce exposure through substitution or modification of equipment; administrative controls which change procedures through policies, training, and schedules; and use of personal protective equipment to create barriers against hazards when other controls are not feasible.

    LO3 Control Hazards and Risks

    Learning Packet No. 33 GENERAL ENVIRONMENT CONTROL MEASURE

    Performance Standards
    1. OHS procedures for controlling hazards and risk are strictly followed.

    2. Procedures in dealing with workplace accidents, fire and emergencies are followed
    in accordance with the organization’s OHS policies.

    3. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is correctly used in accordance with


    organization’s OHS procedures and practices.

    4. Procedures in providing appropriate assistance in the event of workplace


    emergencies are identified in line with the established organizational protocol.

    Engineering Control - Eliminate or reduce exposure to a chemical or physical hazard


    through the use or substitution of engineered machinery or equipment. Examples
    include self-capping syringe needles, ventilation systems such as a fume hood, sound-
    dampening materials to reduce noise levels, safety interlocks, and radiation shielding.

     Substitution
     Modification in Process/Equipment
     Maintenance of Equipment
     Isolation
     Wet Method
     Industrial Ventilation

    Administrative control - (or work practice controls) are changes in work procedures


    such as written safety policies, rules, supervision, schedules, and training with the goal
    of reducing the duration, frequency, and severity of exposure to hazardous chemicals or
    situations. Some specific examples of administrative controls include:

     Reduction of work period


     Adjusting work schedules

    TLE – CARPENTRY 1
     Employee information and training
     Job Rotation
     Education of Supervisors
     Housekeeping and Maintenance

    Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) -  includes all clothing and other work
    accessories designed to create a barrier against workplace hazards. Examples include
    safety goggles, blast shields, hard hats, hearing protectors, gloves, respirators, aprons,
    and work boots.

    OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee
    exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or
    effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels.

    “Keep in mind that PPE protects only the user - it does nothing to remove the
    hazard from the workplace.”
