ACTIVITY 1 HAZARD REDUCTION METHOD

STEP 1 – IDENTIFY THE HAZARD So what is a HAZARD in the timber workshop?

HAZARD “The Occupational Health and Safety Regulation 2001 defines a hazard as anything (including work practices or procedures) that has the potential to harm the health or safety of a person” (Managing workplace hazards, and consultation in the workplace, n.d. p. 2).

Examples of Workplace Hazards Timber Workshop Manual handling: pushing, pulling, carrying, lifting Work environment: floor surface, noise Machines Heat: burns Electricity: electrocution Harassment: bullying and/or violence Hazardous substances: fumes, chemicals Skin penetrating injuries

STEP 2 - ASSESS THE RISK What are the chances it will course injury What are the consequences?

How likely is it to occur ? - It could happen any time – very likely - It could happen sometime – likely - It could happen but very rarely – unlikely - It could happen but probably never happen – very unlikely How bad is it likely to be ? - Kill or cause permanent injury - Cause long term illness or serious injury - Cause someone to need medical attention - Cause someone to need first aid

STEP 3 – CONTROL THE The best method of controlling a risk is to eliminate the hazard – (it is not always possible to do this immediately)

HOW CAN YOU CONTROL THE HAZARD IN THE TIMBER WORKSHOP Substituting the system of work or machinery with a safer alternative Isolating the hazard Minimizing the risk by adopting administrative controls: signs, guards, training, routines Using personal protective equipment: ear muffs, dust mask, safety glasses
