List some Safety tips in : 1) Houses 1) Sound the Alarm: Install
smoke detectors on every floor of your home and carbon monoxide
detectors near sleeping areas2) Avoid Overload: Check for
overloaded extension cords3) Paint Safe: Check walls for loose
paint4) Childproof: Check your local library or look online for
complete lists of childproofing suggestions5) Plan Your Escape:
Practice a fire escape plan with your family where you identify two
exits for every room and what to do with young children.6) Give
Your Air Heater Some Space: All air heaters should be placed at
least three feet from beds, curtains or anything flammable7) Get
Grounded: All major appliances should be grounded8) Put Away
Medications: Take medications and medical supplies out of your
purse, pockets and drawers, and put them in a cabinet with a child
safety lock.9) Keep Extinguishers Handy: Place all-purpose fire
extinguishers in key locations in your home10) Unplug Appliances:
Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use and store them
out of reach.
2) Hospitals1) Wear slippers or shoes with non-skid soles,
Hospital floors can be slippery.2) Your hospital bed is probably
higher and narrower than your bed at home. When needed, call for
help getting into or out of bed. If the side rails are up, don't
try to climb over or between them. Use your call light to get
help.3) The cot and food trolley in your room is on wheels. Don't
try to use it for support. Use your buzzer to get help.4) Keep
items within easy reach. Ask your nurse or someone else to place
glasses, phone or other needed items where you can easily get to

washing their hands before working with you8) Ask Questions: Under
our care, never hesitate to ask questions about your care and to
express your preferences & concerns
3) kitchens1) Keep Kids and Pets Out!2) Wear Shoes and Safe
Clothing3) Don't Rush : Rushing around the kitchen will almost
guarantee accidents.4) Always Use Hot Pads5) Stir Away From Your
Body6) Learn how to Use Knives7) Know Your Equipment and Handle it
Properly8) Clean Up Spills Promptly9) Know Your Limits when Lifting
: Lifting a hot pot of boiling pasta is one of the most dangerous
of kitchen techniques10) Watch Out for Steam
4) Furniture 1) Keep electrical cords out of reach and behind
TV.2) Close all furniture drawers to prevent or deter climbing.3)

Classes of FireCLASS A: fibrous material, such as wood, paper,
cloth, rubber and some plastics.CLASS B: combustible liquids such
as gasoline, kerosene, paint, paint thinners and propaneCLASS C:
Energized electrical equipment, such as appliances, switches, panel
boxes and power tools.CLASS D: combustible metals, such as
magnesium,titanium, potassium and sodium.
HOW TO PREVENT FIRES (MCQs)CLASS A: 1) Keep storage and working
areas free of trash. 2) Place oily rags in covered containers.CLASS
B: 1) Don't refuel gasoline-powered equipment in a confined space.
2) Don't refuel gasoline-powered equipment while it's hot. 3) Store
flammable liquids away from spark-producing sources. 4) Use
flammable liquids only in well-ventilated areas.CLASS C: 1) Look
for old wiring 2) worn insulation and broken electrical fittings.
3) Report any hazardous condition to your supervisor. 4) Prevent
motors from overheating by keeping them clean. 5) A spark from a
rough-running motor can ignite the oil and dust in it. 6) Don't
misuse fuses. 7) Never install a fuse rated higher than specified
for the circuit. 8) Investigate any appliance or electrical
equipment that smells strange. 9) Unusual odors can be the first
sign of fire. 10) Don't overload wall outlets. CLASS D: 1) covering
the burning metal with sand can help contain the heat and sparks
from the reaction.
How to Extinguish FiresCLASS A: 1) cooling the material below
its ignition temperature 2) soaking the fibers to prevent
re-ignition. 3) Use pressurized water 4) use foam or multi-purpose
(ABC-rated) dry chemical extinguishers. 5) DO NOT USE carbon
dioxide or ordinary (BC-rated) dry chemical extinguishers.
CLASS B: 1) removing the oxygen. 2) preventing the vapors from
reaching the ignition source. 3) use Foam, carbon dioxide, ordinary
(BC-rated) dry chemical. 4) Use multi-purpose dry chemical 5) Use
halon fire extinguishers.CLASS C: 1) using an extinguishing agent2)
Using Carbon dioxide.3) Using ordinary (BC-rated) dry chemical4)
Use multi-purpose dry chemical5)Use halon fire extinguishers.
CLASS D: 1) dry powder extinguishing agentsFirefighting Decision
Criteria1) Know department emergency procedures and evacuation
routes.2) Know locations of extinguishers in your area and how to
use them.3) Always sound the alarm regardless of fire size.4) Avoid
smoky conditions.5) Ensure area is evacuated.6) Dont attempt to
fight unless: Alarm is sounded. Fire is small and contained. You
have safe egress route (can be reached without exposure to fire).
Available extinguishers are rated for size and type of fire.7) If
in doubt, evacuate!
Definition of Occupational Disease : Occupational disease is any
disease caused due activities or environmental factors at the
workplace.
Definition of Pneumoconiosis : A group of conditions resulting
from the deposit of minerals dust in lung and the subsequent lung
tissue reaction to the dust .
what is Asbestos ?A generic name given to a fibrous variety of
six naturally occurring minerals that have been used for decades in
the development of thousands of commercial products.
Found in insulation and fireproofing materials, automotive
brakes, textile products, cement and wallboard materials.Fibers 10
20 m length are fibro- & oncogenic Asbestos body rod shaped ,
1-6 m wide and 10 30 m long, yellow-brown with pale center, may be
clubbed at one or both ends.
Amosite and crocidolite are the most hazardous of the asbestos
minerals because of their long persistence in the lungs of exposed
people.
What are the difference between : Risk & Hazards : Hazard:
any condition which has the potential to harm the health or cause
damage. Risk: The probability that a hazard will actually result in
an accident.Accident & incident : accident - Refers to the
event. It is an unplanned, undesired event in a sequence of events
that causes an unintended injury, death or property damage.
incident - is an undesired event that may cause personal harm or
other damage.
What is Perception : Perception is a key component of human
behavior. Its the mechanism with which a person evaluates input
from the external environment, which, in turns, determines his
behavioral response.What are the Steps of Risk Management1) Hazard
Identification (through experience, checklists, asking operators,
etc.)2) Risk Assessment (quantifying the risk utilizing tools such
as PHA, FTA, FMEA, HAZOP, assessing accident statistics, etc.)3)
Risk Control (covered in coming slides)4) Risk Monitoring
(continuous monitoring of hazards and the risk involved)
What are the Four Approaches in Risk Control (MCQs , case and
determine ):1) The Enforcement Approach2) The Psychological
Approach3) The Engineering Approach4) The Analytical Approach
Safety Culture : 1) Everyone feels responsible for safety and
does something about it on a daily basis.2) People go beyond the
call of duty to identify unsafe conditions and at-risk behaviors,
and they intervene to correct them.3) Safe work practices are
supported intermittently with rewarding feedback from both peers
and managers.4) People actively care continuously for the safety of
themselves and others.Principles of a Safety Culture1) From
regulations to corporate responsibility.2) From failure oriented to
achievement oriented.3) From outcome focused to behavior focused.4)
From top-down control to bottom-up involvement.5) From rugged
individualism to interdependent teamwork.6) From a staged to a
systems approach7) From fault finding to fact finding8) From
reactive to proactive9) From quick fix to continuous
improvement10)From priority to value
Lost Time Injuries (LTI's)It is the number of injuries that
resulted in work time loss.
Frequency Rate (FR)It identifies the number of injuries
experienced or expected in aperiod where one million person hours
of exposure occurs.# of LTI's X 1,000,000FR =
------------------------------------Total person hours worked
Average Time Lost Rate ( ATLR )This rate indicates the severity
of injuries
# of days lostATLR = -------------------# of LTI's
Incidence Rate (IR)This rate calculates, in percentage terms,
the number of LTI's experienced by the work group.# of LTI's X
100IR = ------------------------------# of workers exposed
