ingredient 6 foliate 1 of 6 Describe the world(a) principles of check out and basic pecking beau monde of risk reduction measures that encompass technical, behavioural and procedural controls? General Principles of taproom There are some common principles of prevention that seat be applied to eliminate hazards and reduce the risk in the exertplace. These principles rely on the correct selection of technical, procedural and behavioral controls. 1. Avoid risk 2. tax risks which loafernot be avoided 3. Control hazards at source 4. Adapt defecate to go the individual 5. Adapt to technical progress 6.Replace the dangerous with the non dangerous or less(prenominal) dangerous 7. Develop logical overall prevention polity 8. Give priority to collective preservative measures over individual protective measures 9. Give purloin information, instruction, genteelness and supervision to employees. Avoid Risks Where possible assess risks which bottomnot be avoided Through the ri sk assessment process Control hazards at source By going to the source of the problem transportly (e. g. if in that location is noise hazards in the body of call on tackle the source of the nose Adapt carry to suit the individualBy applying good ergonomic principles to stock and guideplace design (by line of products rotation) Replace the dangerous with the non dangerous or less dangerous By substituting one hazard with something less groundless e. g. replace a corrosive chemical with one that does the same job but is classified as less irritant and less pestilential Develop a coherent overall prevention policy By consistency utilize the same approach across the whole institution Give priority to collective protective measures over individual protective measures By creating a startplace that is upright for all rather than relying on measures that only protect one doer at a succession e. . install a guard rail rather than rely on PPE. Why do instruction, training and supervision form a go away of safe governing body? Give grab information, instruction, training and supervision to employee So that field of studyers gull the necessary background information to make correct choices. IGC-1 subdivision 6 Page 2 of 6 When selecting control options form these general principles of prevention you should be aware that preventive measure can be categorized as 1. Technical 2. Procedural 3. behavioural General power structure of Control The following elements make up the general power structure of control 1. . 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Avoid risks Elimination / substitution Reduce exposure or the term of exposure Isolation / segregation Engineering controls unspoilt remains or work prepare and information ain protective equipment welfare supervise and supervision Avoid risks Risk avoidance is simply to avoid in all the activity giving rise to the risk Elimination / substitution If a hazard can be eliminated then the risk created by the hazards disappears. For guinea pig hazardous substances can some snips be replaced with materials which do the same job but present no risk to health.Reduce exposure or the time of exposure If the degree to which a worker is exposed to hazard can be reduced then that worker is far less probable to defecate an accident with that hazard. For example an engineer who spend all sidereal day running(a) on machinery with hazardous moving parts is more than in all probability to suffer injury than the engineer who spend only an hour of their working(a) day to exposed to the same hazard. Isolation / segregation Isolation The suffer her to isolate the hazard physically so that nobody is exposed to it e. g. coustic bound of a noisy machine to reduce the noise exposure guards about moving machinery to prevent contact Segregation refer to the idea that legitimate hazards must not be accessible to unauthorized workers e. g. in a workplace with radiation hazard only authorized person should a ffirm access only What do engineering controls do? Engineering controls IGC-1 Element 6 Page 3 of 6 Engineering control involves ingestion of an engineering solution to prevent exposure to the hazard. Engineering control in like manner refer to the inclusion of prophylactic features that train that the item is recitationd in correct way.For example interlock switches are fitted to moveable guard on machinery to ensure that when guard is open the machine pull up stakes not work but guard is close it will. Safe system of work Safe system of work procedure helps to eliminate hazards or minimizes the risk associated with them. Training and information Training is instrumental in enabling employees to become competent. Personal protective equipment Equipment or clothing that is dim or held by a worker that protects them from one or more risks to their safety or health. It is traffic of employer to ? ? ? ? ? Supply fitting PPE where risk cannot be controlled by other more effectiv e methods Ensure that when tow more items of PPE have to be worn together they are compatible tolerate suitable storage for PPE Provide information instructions and training to workers on the PPE they will wear. Enforce the use of PPE Replace or repair damaged or lost items. Welfare Welfare facilities include the provision of toilets, washing facilities, clean drinking water, residue subject field and clean place for eat meals. Monitoring and supervisionMonitoring For maintain watch over something by periodic observation or measurement and followup to ensure that they are victimisation prescribed safe working method. watch Refers to routine inspection and surveillance or workers but concern direct line management authority to control behavior Define a safe system of work? SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK A safe system of work is a formal procedure base on a systematic examination of work in order to identify the hazards. It defines safe methods of working which eliminate those hazards or minimize the risks associated with themResponsibilities of Employer It is the responsibilities of the employer to civilize safe systems of work with the involvement of both competent persons and employees who will be carrying out the work. These safe system must be documented. IGC-1 Element 6 Page 4 of 6 What is the difference between technical, procedural and behavioral controls? Technical, procedural and behavioral controls As safe system of work will involve all the elements of control that we identified ealrlier in the general hierarchy of control 1.Technical or engineering control 2. Procedural control 3. Behavioral control Technical or engineering control Applied flat to the hazard in order to minimize the risk, this may involve fencing material or barriers of different kinds to isolate workers from hazard. Procedural control The way, in which work should be carried out in relation to the hazards, They specify the exact labors relate their sequence and the safety actions and checks which have to taken. Behavioral Control How the individual worker acts in relation to the hazard e. . good housekeeping or using PPE Development of a safe system of work Safe system of work usually developed using the process of task analysis, which involves interruption work down into a series of steps so that hazards can be identified and risk controlled at each step using technical, procedural and behavioral controls. Once developed, safe systems must be implement and monitored to ensure continued effectiveness. Describe what factors should be considered when create and implementing a safe system of work?When developing a safe system of work it is important to consider that 1. 2. 3. 4. PEOPLE Who is the SSW for what level of competence or technical ability should they have? EQUIPMENT What equipment will be worked on? What safety equipment will be required? MATERIALS what materials will be used or handled the work? Who will waste dispose of? ENVIRONMENT in what ca usa of environment will the work take place? Useful acronym SREDIM can be used to identify the hazard associated with every step of work 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.Select the task to b analyzed Record the steps or stages of the task Evaluate the risk associated with each step Develop the safe working method Implement the safe working method Monitor to ensure it is effective. IGC-1 Element 6 Page 5 of 6 Explain the situation and function of a licence to work system? Or What is let to work? Permit to work system A permit to work system is formal documented safety procedure forming part of a safe system of work which ensures that all necessary actions are taken before during and after particularly high risk work.A permit system formalizes the control of high risk work to ensure that all the risks have been identified all the precaution put in place and that appropriate information has been communicated to all relevant parties. What are the key elements of typical permit? There are four main s ections to a permit to work 1. Issue 4 Cancellation 2. Receipt 5. Extension 3. Clearance / return to do Explain the need of taking into custody procedures and the arrangements for contracting emergency serve? Or What is the main objective of an emergency procedure? Emergency ProceduresImportance of developing emergency procedures An organization should develop emergency procedures to deal with predictable incidents such(prenominal) as Fire, bomb threat, spillage of a hazardous chemical , anesthetize of a toxic gas, outbreak of disease, severe weather or make full and multiple casualty accident. Emergency procedures These procedures should cover the internal arrangements for dealing with the foreseeable incidents which will include 1. Procedure to follow 2. Provision of suitable equipment 3. nominating speech of responsible staff 4. Provision of training and information 5. Drills and exercises 6.Contracting the emergency services Procedure to follow In the event of a fire pre script practice for worker to exit the building and go to assembly area but in bomb thread this will be foe person has to go inside the building and away from the windows Provision of suitable equipment IGC-1 Element 6 Page 6 of 6 If thither is a fire suitable fire extinguisher are available and correct PPE wear by the person involve in fire flake Nomination of responsible staff In oddball of fire there need for fire wardens and fire marshal who will tell to occupant of building about safety instruction in case of fire.Provision of training and information fermenters will only know what to do in case of emergency if they have training and information Drills and exercises Emergency procedure should be practiced to ensure that people are familiar with action they expertness be expected in case of emergency Contracting the emergency services ( rootage Aid) Describe the requirements for and effective e provision of first avail in the workplace? First Aid Requirements An employer must make appropriate first precaution provision for his employees. This will include ? First aid facilities ? Equipment ?Appropriately trained personnel. What factors might need to be considered when determining the first aid provision for a workplace? First aid coverage To determine what first aid provision to make an employer will have to undertake an assessment which should consider various factors such as ? The general risk level of the workplace ? The hazards present in the workplace ? disaster history ? The presence of vulnerable persons ? The number of workers in the workplace ? Work patterns and shift systems of workers ? The geographic location of the workplace ? The spread of the workplace IGC-1
