1. In your own idea, what are the best safety and health practices that must be
implemented in the following workplace: (at least 10 practices per workplace)
A.) Construction Industries
i.
Provide Safety Training
ii.
Proper On-site Equipment
iii.
Have properly trained and designated Machine Operators
iv.
Implement Good Keeping Practices
v.
Know Basic Medical Rules
vi.
Always have supervision
vii.
Be transparent with what is happening on site
viii.
Be aware of your surroundings
ix.
Always wear your helmet
x.
Always clean your work place after doing your job
B.) Manufacturing Industries
i.
Inform supervisors of unsafe conditions
ii.
Use Equipment, tools, and machines properly
iii.
Wear PPE’s, or any safety equipment
iv.
Prevent Slip and Trips
v.
Keep Work Areas and Emergency clear
vi.
Eliminate Fire Hazards
vii.
Avoid Tracking Hazardous Materials
viii.
Prevent Objects from falling
ix.
Use correct Posture when lifting
x.
Take Work Breaks
C.) Power Plant/Utility Companies
i.
When viewing flames or furnace conditions, always wear tinted
goggles or a tinted shield to protect the eyes from harmful light
intensity and flying ash or slag particles.
ii.
Do not stand directly in front of open ports or doors, especially when
they are being opened. Furnace pulsations caused by firing conditions,
sootblower operation, or tube failure can blow hot furnace gases out of
open doors, even on balanced draft units. Aspirating air is used on
inspection doors and ports of pressure-fired units to prevent the
escape of hot furnace gases. The aspirating jets can become blocked,
or the aspirating air supply can fail. In some cases, the entire
observation port or door can be covered with slag, causing the
aspirating air to blast slag and ash out into the boiler room.
iii.
Do not use open-ended pipes for rodding observation ports or slag on
furnace walls. Hot gases can be discharged through the open-ended
pipe directly onto its handler. The pipe can also become excessively
hot.
iv.
When handling any type of rod or probe in the furnace, especially in
coal-fired furnaces, be prepared for falling slag striking the rod or
probe. The fulcrum action can inflict severe injuries.
v.
Be prepared for slag leaks. Iron oxides in coal can be reduced to
molten iron or iron sulfides in a reducing atmosphere in the furnace
resulting from combustion with insufficient air. This molten iron can
wash away refractory, seals and tubes, and leak out onto equipment or
personnel.
vi.
Be prepared for hot water in drums and headers when removing
manhole plates and handhole covers.
vii.
Use low voltage extension cords or cords with ground fault interrupters.
Bulbs on extension cords and flashlights should be explosion proof.
viii.
Use low voltage extension cords or cords with ground fault interrupters.
Bulbs on extension cords and flashlights should be explosion proof.
ix.
Do not inspect for tube leak locations until metal and refractory
surfaces are cool, and ash accumulations are removed.
x.
Never open or enter rotating equipment until it has come to a complete
stop and its circuit breaker is locked open and any other drive devices
are immobilized. Some types of rotating equipment can be set into
motion with very little force. These types should be locked with a brake
or other suitable device to prevent rotation.
