Prevention Measures
1. Risk Assessment and Management: - Identify and evaluate potential hazards and their risks. - Implement engineering controls, administrative procedures, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize risks. - Develop emergency response plans.
2. Engineering Controls: - Redesign processes or equipment to eliminate or reduce hazards. - Install guards, barriers, or ventilation systems to prevent exposure.
3. Administrative Procedures: - Establish safe work practices, training programs, and policies. - Implement lock-out/tag-out procedures to prevent accidental equipment startups.
4. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): - Provide appropriate PPE, such as gloves, safety glasses, respirators, and protective clothing, to protect workers from exposure.
5. Education and Training: - Educate workers about hazards and safe work practices. - Provide regular training on proper use and maintenance of PPE and equipment.
Control Measures
1. Monitoring and Surveillance: - Conduct regular inspections to identify and address hazards. - Monitor air quality, radiation levels, and other environmental factors to ensure safety.
2. Emergency Preparedness: - Develop and test emergency response plans for various hazard scenarios. - Establish evacuation procedures and designate safe assembly areas.
3. Incident Investigation: - Investigate accidents and incidents to determine root causes and identify areas for improvement in prevention and control measures.
4. Medical Surveillance: - Provide periodic medical exams and screenings for workers exposed to specific hazards. - Monitor employees for signs of illness or injury related to exposure.
5. Engineering Controls (Additional): - Implement warning systems, alarms, and automated shutdowns to prevent hazardous situations. - Use remote monitoring and control systems to minimize exposure to hazards.
6. Administrative Procedures (Additional): - Establish work policies that restrict access to hazardous areas. - Implement a permit system to control hazardous operations.
7. Personal Protective Equipment (Additional): - Provide specialized PPE for specific hazards, such as respirators for oxygen-deficient atmospheres or chemical suits for corrosive substances. - Ensure PPE is properly fitted, maintained, and tested.
