In a manufacturing workshop, a worker carrying a box tripped and fell over an electrical lead that ran across the walkway. During the fall, he hit his head and shoulder on a piece of equipment's corner. He suffered a serious shoulder injury that necessitated major surgery. The company was fined 50,000 pesos after being prosecuted. Due to a skilled labor shortage, the injured worker was out of work for three months and could not be replaced during that time.\ 2. Workers were maneuvering an overhead crane when the metal plate weighed about 7,330 pounds. It came off the lifting clamp, fell, beaten, and killed a worker. 3.

As he reached between the pitch and belt return, the moving belt grabbed him and guided his arm and arm to the pinch point of the tail pulley, severely fractured his arm. 5. Joe was a tenacious veteran tradesman who knew how to protect himself adequately and didn't need a safety officer to tell him what to do. Joe strictly followed safety regulations, with one exception: he refused to take off his wedding ring. Most people assumed he knew what he was doing as a journeyman electrician — probably better than anyone else. When a coworker arrived at work one day, he learned that Joe had been killed. He had been working on an induction hardener when it suddenly discharged electricity. The arc flash passed from the machine to Joe's wedding ring, delivering enough electricity into his body to kill him. IV. Illustration: Explain the image/picture below in your own words, based on the type of working environment it reflects. (25 points) As you can see in the picture, the overall work environment is a big mess. The worker doesn’t have the proper PPE which can result in serious injuries. There are living creatures in the workplace that suppose not to be there, it can be the reason for a big accident. The boxes in which the equipment is placed are not properly arranged, which can result in an accident called struck by a falling object. There is also an unsealed flammable can that is not properly placed and the oil spill is constantly happening. This can be a cause for a big and catastrophic fire. I can also see a broken wire that can eventually cause electrocution. Lastly, the ladder with different objects on it can create minor or major accidents.
