What is It

SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE

Safety regulations in the workplace need to be in place in order to assure the

workers that they are cared for.
The four industries wherein maximum workplace mishaps take place are:
1. service industry.
2. construction and building industry.
3. retail stores; and
4. manufacturing industry.

It is absolutely essential for a worker to be aware of the safety regulations in

the workplace. Every organization should have a system for safety. This system
should revolve around the following safety regulations and guidelines:

On Job Hazards
The safety regulations in the workplace should keep job hazards on top
priority.
The floors have to be checked for tripping
hazards.
All the walkways should be well-lit and in case
there are blind spots, all the employees and
workers should be aware of them.
Cords and wires should be secured away from
the walkways and the corridors.
Fire safety regulations and electrical safety
regulations should also be made.

6
Health Hazards
Worker-spread illnesses pose a great risk the
health of the entire workforce. It is required by the
management to advise all the workers to stay home if they
are sick as a part of workplace safety regulations. Good
hand washing and disinfecting toiletries should be
available at the workplace for the workers.

Chemical Hazards
Chemicals should be rightly labeled to avoid any
detrimental mistakes. Mixing of the wrong chemicals can
cause a terrible chemical reaction which could be
hazardous to all the employees. There should be
measures to taken to ensure that only chemicals that are
safe be kept together and stored together.

Reporting System
To ensure the best safety regulations in the
workplace, there needs to be a reporting system in place.
Injuries, illnesses and accidents on job should be
reported in time. All illnesses should be reported as well.
This is to ensure that the organization has the medical
records of the employee in case of an emergency.

Whistleblower
this whistle blower system also ensures complete
attention of the employees. This can assure that they
report any accident or hazardous incident to the
management in time. It fosters a no-negligence
environment that thrives on participative behavior.

CLEAN AIR ACT

The Clean Air Act is the name of any of several

pieces of legislation aimed at reducing smog and other
types of air pollution and less damage of the ozone layer.

Philippines: Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act outlines the government’s measures to reduce air pollution and
incorporate environmental protection into its development plans. It relies heavily on
the polluter pays principle and other market-based instruments to promote self-
regulation among the population. It sets emission standards for all motor vehicles
and issues registration only upon demonstration of compliance. It also issues
pollutant limitations for industry. Polluting vehicles and industrial processes must
pay a charge. Any individual, enterprise, corporation or groups that installed
pollution control devices or retrofitted its existing facilities to comply with the
emissions standards in the Act can apply for tax incentives of accelerated
depreciation, deductibility of R&D expenditures or tax credits on the VAT of the
equipment and are exempt from real property tax on the machinery or equipment
used to comply. It also establishes a R&D program for air pollution reduction

7
mechanisms and technologies. It bans incineration and smoking in public places. At
the local and municipal levels, governments are allowed to set emission quotas by
pollution source, and the development of recycling programs is encouraged.

The Food Processing Concept (FPC) Clean Air Act

It has been developed for use in large variety of baking and cooking processes.
The system provides the perfect combination of vapor extraction and cleaning. The
FPC Clean Air Act is able to reduce vapor pollution from the emission by 80%. The
pollution from the vapor emissions is transformed into biodegradable residue, which
benefits the environment, your employees and neighbors and your profits. The unit
has variable ventilators that pulls out the vapor released in the cooking process, so
that the working area can be kept free from any irritating and greasy air.
The FPC Clean Air Act can be used in a combination with a variety of food
processing equipment including:
 oil fryers
 hot spiral oven
 hot air tunnels
 grill markers
 infrared ovens
 open flame system
 belt grill systems
 steam tunnels
 smoke house
ELECTRICAL AND FIRE SAFETY CODE

Fire safety refers to precautions that are taken to prevent or reduce the
likelihood of a fire that may result in death, injury, or property damage, alert those
in a structure to the presence of an uncontrolled fire in the event one occurs, better
enable those threatened by a fire to survive, or to reduce the damage caused by a
fire. Fire safety measures include those that are planned during the construction of
a building or implemented in structures that are already standing, and those that
are taught to occupants of the building.
Threats to fire safety are referred to as fire hazards. A fire hazard may include
situations that increase the likelihood of fire or may impede escape in the event a fire
occurs. Fire safety is often a component of building safety.
Key elements of a fire safety policy
 Building a facility in accordance with the version of the local building code.
 Maintaining a facility and behaving in accordance with the provisions of
the fire code. This is based on the occupants and operators of the building
being aware of the applicable regulations and advice.
Examples of these include:
 Not exceeding the maximum occupancy within any part of the building.
 Maintaining proper fire exits and proper exit signage (e.g., exit signs
pointing to them that can function in a power failure)
 Compliance with electrical codes to prevent overheating and ignition from
electrical faults or problems such as poor wire insulation or overloading
wiring, conductors, or other fixtures with more electric current than they
are rated for.

8
 Placing and maintaining the correct type of fire extinguishers in easily
accessible places.
 Properly storing and using, hazardous materials that may be needed inside
the building for storage or operational requirements (such as solvents in
spray booths).
 Prohibiting flammable materials in certain areas of the facility.
 Periodically inspecting buildings for violations, issuing Orders to Comply
and, potentially, prosecuting or closing buildings that are not in
compliance, until the deficiencies are corrected or condemning it in
extreme cases.
 That sprays fireproofing remains undamaged.
 Maintaining a high level of training and awareness of occupants and users
of the building to avoid obvious Maintaining fire alarm systems for
detection and warning of fire.
 Obtaining and maintaining a complete inventory of fire stops.
 Ensuring mistakes, such as the propping open of fire doors.
 Conduct fire drills at regular intervals throughout the year.
Common fire hazards
Improper use and maintenance of gas stoves often create fire hazards.
Some common fire hazards are:
 Electrical systems that are overloaded
resulting in hot wiring or connections, or
failed components
 Combustible storage areas with insufficient
protection
 Combustibles near equipment that
generates heat, flame, or sparks
 Candles
 Smoking (Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, lighters,
etc.)
 Equipment that generates heat and utilizes
combustible materials
 Flammable liquids
 Fireplace chimneys not properly or regularly
cleaned
 Cooking appliances - stoves, ovens
 Heating appliances (wood burning stoves, furnaces, boilers, portable heaters)
 Electrical wiring in poor condition
 Batteries
 Personal ignition sources - matches, lighters
 Electronic and electrical equipment
 Exterior cooking equipment – BBQ

FIRE SAFETY TIPS IN THE WORKPLACE

Here are some basic safety tips that will help ensure you protect your staff in case
the worst ever happens and you experience a fire.

9
1. Anything that is capable of burning should be considered a potential risk. Any
flammable item should be safely stowed away in an area that is well ventilated so
as to minimize the risk of ignition. These may include things like paper, chemicals
or waste materials.
2. A working ventilation fan should be present as this will help staff escape more
safely in the event of a fire due to the smoke and fumes being cleared quicker.
3. Adequate emergency lighting should be installed, and battery powered torches
present for staff so as they can find their way out if the power blackens out the
building. Never use a naked flame such as a lighter as this could ignite further
fires during escape.
4. Do not leave unwanted rubbish or items such as wastepaper or boxes to
accumulate in the workplace as this represents a serious fire hazard as well as
potentially blocking escape routes.
5. Ensure that all staff are aware of the fire escape routes and install fire alarm if
you don't already have one
6. A major cause of office fires is due to a short circuit at the plug or in electrical
machinery such as computers or heaters. Ensure that any unused power socket
is switched off and have your sockets tested annually to make sure they are in
proper working condition.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIPS

When doing electrical work or using electrical equipment, you should practice
safety to avoid electric shock.
 Shut off power to the circuit you’re working on and verify it’s off (treat all
electrical as having power even after shutting off power).
 Wear rubber gloves.
 Wear rubber shoes with rubber soles.
 Use tools with insulated handles.
 Keep yourself dry.
 Keep the area around you dry.
 Wear safety glasses.
 Never handle electric switch with wet hands.
 Always report frayed electrical cords and ungrounded electrical cords.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal,
managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials
produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their
effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is a distinct
practice from resource recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption
of natural resources. The management of wastes treats all materials as a single class,
whether solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and tried to reduce the
harmful environmental impacts of each through different method.
Proper waste management plays a very important role especially in the kitchen
where foods are being prepared and cooked.

10
Waste management procedures and techniques

1. Waste avoidance is engaging in activity that

prevents generation of waste. Waste segregation is
the process of dividing garbage and waste products
in an effort to reduce, re – use and recycle materials.

2. Waste reduction is the minimization of wasteful consumption of goods.

3. Re-use is the process of recovering materials

intended for some purpose without changing their
physical and chemical appearance.

4. Recycling is the treatment of waste materials through

a process of making them suitable for beneficial use
and for other purposes.
5. Composting is the controlled decomposition of organic matter by microorganism
mainly bacteria and fungi into a humus like product.
6. Waste disposal refers to the proper discharge of any solid waste into or any land.

Waste Disposal
Aim: To ensure proper management and disposal of waste.
 Determine whether the waste is characterized as hazardous waste or not.
 Pick up free characterized waste tags, containers, and guidelines from the
prescribed locations:
 Ensure that containers holding hazardous wastes are compatible with
wastes, and are in good condition, do not leak, and are closed when wastes
are not being added or removed.
 Mark containers with the words “Hazardous Waste.”
When the container is full
 Once the container is full, complete a characterized waste tag,
specifying the contents and attach to the waste container.
 Limit accumulation of waste to the amount mentioned on the container.
To schedule waste pick up
11
 To schedule a hazardous waste pick-up, call the transportation supervisor
of the company and submit a Hazardous Waste Pick-up Request form.
Responsibilities of the company:
 Assist the client or waste generator in performing hazardous waste
determinations.
 Pick up waste from the generator on a routine schedule or by
appointment.
 Maintain databases and inventories of all wastes generated.
 Maintain the accumulation facility and provide for the disposal of
hazardous waste generated by client.
Safety meeting before picking up the waste:
 A complete checklist of all the equipment needed for the job is made and
checked.
 The employee uses personal protective equipment.
 Tool kit to be checked by the supervisor.
 First aid kid to be checked by the supervisor and is placed in the pick –up.
 Fire extinguisher also checked.
 All-important company telephone number to be pasted and checked in the
pick –up.

1. EVACUATION
The Contingency Plan must include an evacuation plan for facility personnel
where there is a possibility that evacuation could be necessary situations which
would warrant partial or complete evacuation are as follows:
 Explosions resulting in airborne debris including container fragments and
hazardous waste.
 Spills or chemical reactions resulting in toxic fumes.
 Fire when it cannot be contained and is spreading to other parts of the facility,
or when fire could generate toxic fumes; and
 All incidents where necessary protective equipment is not available to
emergency response personnel.

The evacuation plan must ensure the safe egress of facility personnel. The
evacuation plan must indicate a recognizable signal to start evacuation, evacuation
routes, and alternate evacuation routes (incase primary exit routes are blocked by
releases of hazardous waste or fires)
Individuals involved in the evacuation should be trained and instructed in
responding to likely emergency situations. They should be familiar with the location
and use of:
1. fire alarm calls points
2. fire exits
3. firefighting equipment like the fire extinguisher

2. DECONTAMINATION
Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing harmful materials
that have gathered on personnel or worker and/or equipment during the response
to a chemical incident. Many stories are told of seemingly successful rescue,
transport, and treatment of chemically contaminated individuals by unsuspecting
12
emergency personnel who in the process contaminate themselves, the equipment,
and the facilities they encounter along the way. Decontamination is of utmost
importance because it:
 Protects all workers especially hospital personnel by sharply limiting the
transfer of hazardous materials from the contaminated area into clean
zones.
 Protects the community by preventing transportation of hazardous
materials from their work to other sites in the community by secondary
contamination; and
 Protects workers by reducing the contamination and resultant permeation
of, or degradation to, their protective clothing and equipment.

Avoiding contact is the easiest method of decontamination -- that is, not to get
the material on the worker or his protective equipment in the first place. However, if
contamination is unavoidable, then proper decontamination or disposal of the
worker's outer gear is recommended. Segregation and proper disposal of the outer
gear in a polyethylene bag or steel drum is recommended. With extremely hazardous
materials, it may be necessary to dispose of equipment as well.

‘Physical decontamination of protective clothing and equipment can be

achieved in some cases by several different means. These all include the systematic
removal of contaminants by washing, usually with soap and water, and then rinsing.
In rare cases, the use of solvents may be necessary. The appropriate procedure will
depend on the contaminant and its physical properties. A thorough work-up of the
chemical involved and its properties or expert consultation is necessary to make
these kinds of decisions. Additionally, the residues of the decontamination process
must be treated as hazardous wastes.

DECONTAMINATION OF PERSONNEL OR WORKER

Personnel should remove protective clothing in the following sequence.

 Remove tape securing gloves to suit.
 Remove outer gloves turning them inside out as they are removed.
 Remove suit turning it inside out and avoid shaking.
 Remove plastic shoe cover from one foot and step over "clean line." Remove
other shoe cover and put that foot over the line.
 Remove mask.
 Remove inner gloves and discard in drum inside dirty area.
 Close off dirty area until level of contamination is established, and the area
is properly cleaned.
 Personnel should then move to a shower area, remove scrub suit and place
it in a plastic bag.
 Shower and redress in normal working attire.
Note: Double bag clothing and label appropriately.

13
Using personal protective equipment and clothing (PPE)

PPE can protect you from hazards associated with jobs such as handling
chemicals or working in a noisy environment. In food preparation this is the cooking
outfit which gives protection to the worker against different hazards that may be
encountered during cooking.
These are the following:
 Hair covering/ hairnet – prevents hair from falling into food product
 Facial mask – barrier to airborne contamination during sneezing,
coughing and talking
 Aprons – reduce risk of contamination and help maintain cleanliness.
 Gloves – reduce risks of contamination.
 Pot holder – protects against burns when taking hot items on top of the
stove.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES, PRACTICES AND

REGULATIONS
Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the
highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
the prevention among workers of departures from health caused by their working
conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an
occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological
capabilities; and, to summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man to
his job.

The main focus in occupational health is on three different objectives:

1. maintain and promote workers’ health and working capacity.
2. improve working environment and work; and
3. develop work organizations and working cultures in a direction which
supports health and safety at work and in doing so also promotes positive
social climate and smooth operation and may enhance productivity of the
undertakings.
Safety procedures, practices in the workplace contribute to:
1. low rates of accident.
2. good employee morale.
3. employee satisfaction.
4. reduction of insurance and other operating cost; and
5. reduction of losses of employees due to disabling accidents.
Some health and safety procedures and practices
A. Personal hygiene practices
1. Keep your hands always clean and nails cut short.
2. Wear comfortable clean clothes.
3. Use of PPE when working.
4. Remove jewelries especially when working with food.
5. Use gloves when hands are thoroughly washed.
B. Good housekeeping practice.

14
1. Keep the area clean. Plan and implement a program of regular cleaning of
the equipment and all other areas.
2. Eliminate the possible breeding of flies. Screen the house and use effective
insecticides whenever necessary.
3. Exterminate rodents. Prevent their increases by not leaving food and dirty
dishes on the table or in the sink. Keep foods likely to be eaten by rats in
rodent-proof containers.
C. Observance of safety precautions. The observance of safety precaution to
promote work efficiency and to avoid accident is important. Accidents are caused
either by people themselves, by unsafe environment, or defective equipment.
Accidents are caused by people are due to haste, distraction or failure to observe
safety regulations. Carelessness causes slips, falls, burns and bumps and the
destruction of things in the workplace.

Workplace safety checklist

OSH requirements mean that managing risk in the workplace is more than a
priority. It is a fundamental issue of effective workplace management. Occupational
safety and health risks exist, even though they may not be as apparent as the
obviously dangerous machines or situations that you would normally find in a
warehouse or factory or industry.

Check the guide below for some of the OSH responsibilities for the workers to
ensure their personal safety.

1. First Aid. The requirement for a first aid kit or a trained first aid person will
depend on the number of people in the workplace. Where 25 or more people are
located in a workplace you need to train a first aid person. There is also the
requirement for a first aid kit, register of injuries book and a notice specifying who
to contact in the workplace if first aid is required. A first aid room is only required
where there are 200 employees in an office workplace.
2. Ergonomics. Ergonomics is crucial in offices yet commonly overlooked. A work-
station has correct ergonomics if the alignment of the computer screen, keyboard,
person and chair is in a straight line, with no twisting of the head or body. The
height of the screen, keyboard and chair will also be important for good
ergonomics.
3. Fire control. Sources of ignition and combustible materials should be separated
to avoid potential fires. Fire equipment should be available and unobstructed, with
some employees trained in its use. The complexity of your evacuation system will
depend on the size of the business, number of floors involved and number of
people to be evacuated.
4. Emergency Evacuation. Have a documented evacuation procedure, which has
been communicated to all employees, and has been practiced as an evacuation
drill at least once each year. The evacuation procedure should differentiate
between bomb threat and other types of emergencies, as the procedure will vary
slightly.
5. Electrical Hazards. All electrical cables should be periodically inspected for
integrity and replaced if damaged. The practice of 'piggy backing' double adaptors
should be eliminated as this can create a fire risk. If there are insufficient power
points, a power board is a safer option.
15
6. Chemical Safety. You have legal obligations even if your office keeps very small
quantities of dangerous chemicals. These include addressing hazardous
substances requirements in the OSH Regulation 2001. This requires you keep a
register of hazardous substances, copies of material safety data sheets,
precautions in place to prevent injury to anyone using the chemicals, and
assessing whether control measures (gloves, glasses etc.) are sufficient.
7. Housekeeping. Untidy offices with materials placed in boxes or in piles on the
floor create a hazardous environment - not only a trip hazard, but could indicate
that there is insufficient storage space, insufficient time for storing materials, or
just poor management of the work area.
8. Temperature. Many workplaces have difficulty finding a temperature setting that
all workers find comfortable. The recommended range is 22 to 26 from the Work-
place. Set the temperature at 22 or 23 degrees and make adjustments from that
point. Check that the air conditioning reaches all areas in the office, and that
windows receiving substantial quantities of sunlight are not causing problems.
9. Manual handling. Whenever staff are required to lift, shift or move heavy items,
for example moving stationery supplies in and out of cabinets and
printers/photocopiers, or moving quantities of mail, computers, printers and
other office furniture, there are manual handling procedures that should be used
to avoid injury.

EMERGENCY-RELATED DRILLS AND TRAINING

Emergency drills and training have the objective of preparing a trained and
organized response to situations of great difficulty which may unexpectedly threaten
loss of life. It is important that they should be carried out realistically. Drills and
training should stress and include emergency procedure and equipment, emergency
personnel duties.

Emergency Evacuation Drills

Fire is only one type of emergency that happens at work. Large and small
workplaces alike experience fires, explosions, medical emergencies, chemical spills,
toxic releases, and a variety of other incidents. Here are some basic drills that you
should know.

Fire Drill
A fire drill is a simulation of what a person or group of people would do if an
actual fire occurred. Fire drills happen a couple of times a year. Even though they
are drills, they are very important because through practice you will learn what to
do and how to behave in an emergency.

Observe the following:

1. Take the drill seriously.
2. Review the expectations before drill.
3. Know your escape route beforehand.
4. Remain calm.
5. Line up and stay in line.
6. Go quietly through the school to your destination.

16
Earthquake Drill Procedures
1. Once the drill is announced, conduct the DROP Procedure (duck, cover and
hold).
2. Leave quickly the building in an orderly manner.
3. Stay away directly under the corridors.
4. Walk away from the building then unto the escape route.
5. Once safe, help others go to safety

 Safety regulations in the workplace need to be in place in order to assure the

workers that they are cared for.
 It is absolutely essential for a worker to be aware of the safety regulations in the
workplace.
 Every organization should have a system for safety. Most organizations make sure
