PTT 444 TECHNOLOGIST IN SOCIETY • Knowledge Sincerity Excellence
It is a combination of incident, probability and consequences Risk - a combination of the probability that a particular outcome will occur and the severity of the harm involved. (Risiko - Kombinasikemungkinan berlakunyakejadianberbahaya/ kemalangandankesanakibatnya) • A measure of economic loss or human injury in terms of both the accident likelihood and magnitude (consequence) of loss or injury • Chance or probability of danger, loss or injury occuring
Danger – expresses the relative exposure to hazard. A hazard may presence, but there may be little danger because of the precaution taken.
to CONTROL the RISK? • Eliminating the hazard, if possible • Minimizing, if possible • Controlling the hazard
Identifying types of HAZARDS and Various Route of Entry
Types of HAZARDS - categories Physical Hazards eg height, force, noise, vibration, lighting, etc - route -> tissue damage, hearing loss, manual handling, ergonomic, traffic hazards, collapse, falling objects
a. Manual Handling • The lifting and carrying of loads is a big problem in every industry. It has contributed about 25% of all work-related injuries • • Factors: • Carryingheavingmaterials > 25kg • The inddividual (Age, gender, training, experinces, previousinjury) • The overalloperation PHYSICAL HAZARDS
b. Work Related Upper Limb Disorder • WRULD is caused by repetitive movements diseases associated • Neck disorder • Shoulder disorder • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome -Elbow disorder • Writs and hand lesions • (localized area of disease or injured tissue) PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Work Related Upper Limb Disorder • Factors associated with the development of WRULD • Jobs are dictated by machine rather than personnel • Length of work period without rest breaks, lack of training and inadequate supervision • (illness due to the interaction of • the mind and the body) PHYSICAL HAZARDS • Poor awareness by managers and employees • Lack of management to detect problems • Poor ergonomic job design • Lack of training to control WRULD
c. Noise • It can cause hearing loss • Factors influencing hearing loss PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Sound Level in dB (A) Sources Harmfull 140 Jet Engine 130 Riveting Hammer Critical 120 Propeller Aircraft 110 Rock Drill 100 Typical outdoor construction, plate fabrication noise 90 Heavy Vehicle Safe 80 Pile drivers, power lawn mower, very busy traffic 70 Private car 60 Air compressor and concrete mixers 50 Conversation (at 1 m) 40 Average business office 30 Quite Whisper PHYSICAL HAZARDS
How to control noise hazard? PHYSICAL HAZARDS
d. Vibration PHYSICAL HAZARDS
PHYSICAL HAZARDS - examples PSYCOLOGICAL OCCUPATIONAL STRESS; • Electronics assembly worker – • Eye problems from doing close work, especially in poor light • Long periods with inadequate seating, can suffer from back and other musculoskeletal problems. • Solder fumes or solder “flecks” in the eye when the excess solder is cut off with pliers.

Types of HAZARDS - categories ii. Chemical Hazards eg. Gas, Liquid, Vapor, Fumes, Mist, Dust, Asbestos, Lead -route -> Inhalation, skin contact with chemical, ingestion of chemical, injection
Routes of Entry of Toxic Agents • Respiratory • Skin and eye contact • Mouth (Ingestion) • Injection CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Types of Effect Strong acid, flammable, corrosive, explosive (immediately damage tissue, explode) Hazards producing cancer, organ failure, respiratory issue CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Factors Affecting Toxic Effect • Angina (Heart Disease) Æ cannot tolerate carbon monoxide • Emphysema (lung ailment) CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Construction Materials Causing Occupational Diseases DISEASE Skin Respiratory Tract Lungs Eyes Nervous System Construction Material Form Oils Irritation Irritation Cement (Chromium) Lesions, Eczema, Burns Insulation Mineral wool Irritation Glass wool Irritation Isocyanate Damage Damage Asthma Asphalt Irritation, Burns Bronchitis, Increased risk of cancer Caulking and Sealants Polyacrylate Irritation Irritation Methyl ethyl ketone Irritation Irritation Methyl isobutyl ketone Irritation Irritation Isocyanate Eczema Asthma Adhesive Acrylic monomers Irritation Irritation Toluene Irritation Irritation Damage Xylene Irritation Irritation Damage Isocyanate Discomfort Epoxy Resin Irritation Polyamine Irritation Plasters, Drywall, Putties Irritation Irritation
Construction Materials Causing Occupational Diseases Asbestos • It can cause lung cancer • The disease develops 20-40 years after exposure • Problems with asbestos in construction - Many construction contracts are being awarded without the contractors being informed of the presence of asbestos materials CHEMICAL HAZARDS
CHEMICAL Hazard …..cont - Identification Hazards related materials - WorkplaceHazardousMaterial Information System (WHMIS) (Canada’s National WorkplaceHazard Communication Std) The key elements of the system are cautionary labelling of containers of WHMIS "controlled products", the provision of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)and worker education and training programs
Material Safety Data Sheets - MSDS A form with data regarding the detailed properties of a particular hazardous material An important component of product stewardship and workplace safety, it is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner
What is an MSDS? • A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides detailed information about a specific hazardous material. An MSDS contains the following information: • Identity (name of substance) • Physical Hazards (target organ) - Health Hazards - Routes of Body Entry • Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) • Carcinogenic Factors (cancer causing) - Safe-Handling Procedures
What is an MSDS? - Data of Sheet Preparation • Control Measures (personal protective equipment) • Emergency First Aid Procedures (emergency telephone number) - Contact Information (for the preparer of the sheet) - Special Instructions
Sample MSDS Page - Nitric Acid, 70% • This is a sample page from the MSDS for Nitric Acid, 70 percent. The product is made by the ABC Rubber Company, Science Products Division, P.O. Box M, Altonia, Illinois 40361. Effective date is 8- 21-85.
Sample MSDS Page - Nitric Acid, 70% Product identification, synonyms, other names for nitric acid are: aqua fortis, azotic acid, nitric acid 70 percent. Formula CAS Number 7697-37-2. Molecular weight 63.00. Hazardous ingredients, not applicable. Chemical formula, HNO3. Precautionary measures, danger, strong oxidizer, contact with other materials may cause fire. Causes sever burns, may be fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid breathing mist, use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed container. Remove and wash contaminated clothing properly.
When Do You Use an MSDS? • You should use an MSDS whenever you need additional information about a hazardous material that is not included on the product label. • For example, you have spilled nitric acid on the floor, and you need to know how to clean it up safely. You need only refer to the "Safe-Handling Procedures" section of the nitric acid MSDS.
Safe-Handling Procedures Section - Nitric Acid, 70% Sample Isolate or enclose the area of the leak or spill. Clean-up personnel should wear protective clothing and respiratory equipment suitable for toxic or corrosive fluids or vapors. For small spills: Flush with water, and neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime, et cetera). Sewer with excess water. For larger spills and lot sizes: Neutralize with alkaline, pick up with absorbent material (sand, earth, vermiculite) and dispose in a RCRA approved waste facility or sewer the neutralized slurry with excess water if local ordinances allow. Provide forced ventilation to dissipate fumes. Reportable Quantity (RQ) (CWA/CERCLA): 1000 pounds Insure compliance with local, state and federal regulations.
When Do You Use an MSDS? • Some chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, are very dangerous. If you have an accident, you may not have time to look up the information you need in an MSDS. • You should read the MSDSs for the hazardous materials present in your work area before you work with them.
