Q

is a method of identifying and ranking safeguards to protect workers from hazards. They are arranged from the most to least effective and include elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment.

Often, you’ll need to combine control methods to best protect workers. For example, a local exhaust system (an engineering control) requires training, periodic inspections, and preventive maintenance (administrative controls). You will also need to consider feasibility.

Elements of Effective Inspection (5)

A
  • Prepare for Inspection
  • Perform Inspections
  • Evaluate your findings
  • Develop remedial actions
  • Take follow-up action
19
Q

Gather all necessary documents, such as previous inspection reports, safety guidelines, and checklists. Clearly define the scope and objectives of the inspection to ensure that the process is thorough and organized.

A

Prepare for Inspection

20
Q

Conduct a detailed on-site examination, focusing on safety, compliance, and operational standards. Take accurate notes, photos, and measurements, ensuring that all areas and equipment are evaluated.

A

Perform Inspections

21
Q

TYPES OF CHECKLISTS:

A
  • QUANTITATIVE
  • QUALITATIVE
22
Q

Uses measurable criteria for objective
assessment.
Example: Ensuring concrete thickness is exactly 15 cm.

A

Quantitative
Checklist:

23
Q

Focuses on subjective evaluations and quality observations. Example: Checking if paintwork appears smooth and
consistent.

A

Qualitative Checklist:

24
Q
  • Carefully review and analyze the data collected during the inspection to identify any potential hazards or non-compliance issues. Assess the severity and potential impact of each finding to prioritize corrective actions. Refer to the applicable standards and references
  • Weigh various control alternatives
  • Determine the cost of control
  • Justify the recommended control if major expenditures are involved.
A

Evaluate your findings

25
Q

A document or specification developed by a recognized standard-setting organization.
Standards are often more detailed and
specific than codes, and provide the “how to” of executing codes. Standards are best practices, but can be legally enforceable when referenced by codes.

A

STANDARDS

26
Q

A set of rules that are generally accepted
guidelines for an industry to follow.
Codes are mandatory and legally
enforceable, and failure to comply can
result in penalties or restrictions. Codes
are created for the purpose of safety,
quality, or other benefits

A

CODES

27
Q

CODES

A
  • Fire Code of the Philippines
  • Philippine Electrical Code
  • National Building Code
  • National Structural Code of the Philippines
28
Q

(An Act Strengthening Compliance with
Occupational Safety and Health Standards and Providing
Penalties for Violations Thereof)

A

RA 11058

29
Q

(Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
of Republic Act No. 11058)

A

DO 198-2018

30
Q

Create a plan to address and rectify any problems discovered, including assigning
responsibilities and setting deadlines. Ensure that corrective measures are practical,
effective, and comply with relevant safety standards and regulations.

A

Develop remedial actions

31
Q

Communicating Inspection Results

A
  • Discuss them at safety meetings
  • Post the complete checklists
  • Post the maintenance requests
32
Q

SMART

A

Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-bound

33
Q

Monitor the progress of the remedial actions and confirm that they have been properly
implemented. Conduct a re-inspection if necessary to verify that the issues have been
resolved and that safety and compliance standards are met.

A

Take follow-up action

34
Q

HIRAC stands for () which is a
process for managing hazards in a work environment. It’s a fundamental part of ensuring a safe workplace and is the basis for modern health and safety legislation.
HIRAC involves: Identifying hazards, Assessing and controlling risks, Reporting
hazards and resolving issues, and Managing the OHS aspects of workplace change.

A

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control,

35
Q

When to create HIRAC?

A

Every activity/ task should have a corresponding HIRAC, prioritizing the following considerations:
1. HIgh Frequency of accidents
2. increase occurrence of near-misses
3. history of serious accident/ fatalities
4. potential for serious harm
5. new jobs or new equipment
6. changes in procedures or standards

36
Q

5 Steps to Risk Assessment

A
  1. Identify the hazards
  2. Decide who might be harmed and how
  3. Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution
  4. Record your significant findings
  5. Review your assessment and update it if necessary
37
Q

Something that
has a potential
harm or injury

A

SAFETY HAZARD

38
Q

Something that has
a potential to
cause illness or or
ill health

A

HEALTH HAZARD

39
Q

How are Risk Ranked or Prioritized?

A

low (1-unlikely)
