Anything outside of the mandatory site PPE will be detailed on the work permit. A clean work area is required to make your repair task easier and safer. 3. Describe the hazards associated with carrying out maintenance activities on fluid power equipment (such as handling fluids, stored energy/force, misuse of tools), and how these can be minimised There are various hazards involved with working on fluid power equipment. These include; chemical exposure or contact, pressurized lines, potential area contamination.
Identify three common hazards that could occur Recommend how the hazards you have suggested can be controlled. 8. Three common hazards that could occur in an office environment and recommendations to control these hazards are as follows : * Lack of or poorly maintained fire extinguishers / smoke alarms – Have regular inspections to ensure equipment is in correct working order and have been tested and have had the necessary repairs if required. * Injured/sick customers or staff members- Ensure that employees/employers are aware of the workplace procedures in relation to the provision of First Aid to 3rd parties and have been correctly trained in the application of first aid procedures. * Emergency exits not visible – Make sure emergency exit signs are clearly lit and in place.
Single Replacement Reaction between Iron filings and Copper Sulfate In this lab, unlike the previous labs, we had to take safety precautions and procedures in order to not end, well, dead or disable for life. For example, we had to use safety goggles and laboratory aprons at all times in the lab and wash our hands at the end of the lab. We had to take these precautions in order to protect ourselves as copper sulfate is able to make a person blind if it falls on someone’s eyes and be poisonous if eaten or inhaled. A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which an element replaces another element in a compound and these chemical reactions will produce heat to a certain degree. In this lab, iron had to replace copper in a copper sulfate solution in a single replacement reaction.

These Regulations were updated in 2002 to better integrate the European Directives on the moving and handling of loads. The Regulations impose duties on employers, self-employed people and employees. They state that employers must avoid all hazardous manual handling activities where it is reasonably practicable to do so. If this is not possible, they must assess the risks in relation to the nature of the task, the load, the working environment and the ability of the handler, and take appropriate action to reduce the risk to the lowest level reasonably practicable. Employees must follow appropriate work systems introduced by their employer to promote safety during the handling of loads.
EC Manual Handling The employer is responsible for the following area within the work place : 1.Avoidance of Manual Handling 2.Assessment of risks 3.Reduction of risks 4.Provision of information on the load 5.Review of Risk assessments.  It’s very important to follow regulations pertaining to the heath and safety legislation, not just for your own safety, but for the safety of your service users - these laws are here to protect. When you’re moving a service user it’s important that you’ve had the correct training and to follow the right procedures. Each service user has their own care plan, within this contains a risk assessment, this will have been carried out by a trained assessor, it will explain how to move the service user safely, it will have identified any risks and how to reduce the risks. If you didn’t follow it, you could harm yourself and the service user.
It is concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people in the workplace. Managing health and safety in the office requires a process of hazard identification, risk assessment, risk control and evaluation of control measures. (Work safe, 2006) Effective management of health and safety hazards also involves training, consultation, documentation of health and safety activities and regular review of the management system. (Work safe, 2006) The potential environmental hazards present in an office: • Mechanical hazards, such as filing cabinets that tend to tip when heavily laden top drawers are open; tripping hazards. • Physical hazards, like glare or reflections from screens; hot components of photocopiers; poorly designed chairs that do not provide the user with adequate back support; poorly designed jobs and tasks that demand prolonged work in a fixed posture.
At this Ferndale, Washington plant the smelting of aluminum takes place. It is the job of a Industrial Hygienist to remove the danger of these safety issues including physical, chemical, biohazards, and radiation. For example, aluminum smelting is a factory job that has a lot of repeated processes for the employee. If this repeated process creates strain or stress on the employee then it becomes a physical safety hazard. At this point the industrial hygienist must use administrative control, engineering control, or personal protective equipment to help this employee from feeling that strain or stress.
when taking my gloves off , I pull one off at a time , first one from the cuff then use it to pull of the other one , therefore minimising the risk of spreading germs on to my skin the used gloves should then be disposed of by putting them in a clinical bin using the foot stool to open the bin .
