Conditions can be both short and long

Other associated symptoms include

and fatigue/stress.
The hazards associated with DSE work
stations must therefore be properly
assessed so that they are adequately

user’s needs

We has recently conducted DSE

survey, The results of this survey
greatly assist management to identify
the particular issues and determine the
necessary actions for improvement.

PROTECT YOURSELF
Protect Yourself- Personal Protective Equipment(PPE)

November March
Personal protective equipment is
preventive equipment which is used
by the worker to protect his safety, October April
from hard hats to protect the head,
gloves to protect hands, glasses to
protect the eyes or safety shoes to September May
protect foot.

It can however be one of the most August July June

commonly misused items when
looking at risk reduction within a
business. PPE by design will not
prevent any hazards from occurring,
all it can do is to lessen the severity
or provide you with some time
before the hazard really hurts!

The use of personal protective

equipment is the lowest on the
hierarchy of control measures.
These controls should not be relied
on as the primary means of risk
control until the higher options have
been exhausted

Pollution Prevention
December January February
Pollution Prevention means eliminating or reducing
the amount and toxicity of potentially harmful
substances at their sources, prior to generation,
treatment, off-site recycling or disposal. It November March
emphasizes preventing or minimizing pollution, rather
than controlling it once it is generated.

What is Pollution Prevention? October April

Fire Safety Response Plan

Pollution prevention is any practice that reduces,

eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source. P2, also
known as “source reduction,” is the ounce-of- September May
prevention approach to waste management.
Reducing the amount of pollution produced means
less waste to control, treat, or dispose of. Less
pollution means less hazards posed to public health August July June
and the environment.
Specific pollution prevention approaches
Pollution prevention approaches can be applied to all
potential and actual pollution-generating activities,
including those found in the energy, agriculture,
federal, consumer and industrial sectors. Prevention
practices are essential for preserving wetlands,
groundwater sources and other critical ecosystems –
areas in which we especially want to stop pollution
before it begins.
In the energy sector, pollution prevention can reduce
environmental damages from extraction, processing,
transport and combustion of fuels. Pollution
prevention approaches include:
increasing efficiency in energy use;
use of environmentally benign fuel sources.
