[Audio] Now lets discuss the first subtopic, The workplace safety and laws.

[Audio] Hello again! I am Jennelyn Santos and I will discuss to you the workplace safety and Laws..

[Audio] To begin with.. DID YOU KNOW? That Based on the results 2020 Integrated Survey on Labor and Employment (ISLE) conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority, A total of 37,513 occupational accidents were reported in all industries in the Philippines in 2019. Around 10.9 percent (4,186) of the total 38,305 establishments employing 20 or more workers experienced work-related accidents. These occupational accidents resulted to roughly 40,892 cases of occupational injuries in 2019. Notably, both the number of occupational accidents and cases of occupational injuries decreased compared to the 2017 data by -1.9 percent and -11.6 percent, respectively..

[Audio] Among cases of occupational injuries, around one percent were fatal cases while about 42.7 percent were reported as non-fatal cases with lost workdays. A great majority (56.6%) of all occupational injuries were cases without lost workdays or those cases that required first-aid or medical treatment only on the day of the accident and was able to perform again duties of the job one day after the accident..

[Audio] Of the total 17,762 cases of occupational injuries with workdays lost in 2019, open wounds was recorded as the most common type of occupational injuries which accounted for 40.5 percent of the total cases reported. Other common types were superficial injuries at 22.4 percent; and burns and corrosions at 7.6 percent..

[Audio] Machines and equipment (29.5%); hand tools (21.6%); and materials and objects (21.2%) were among the most common agents of injuries in the workplace during the period..

[Audio] Due to work-related injuries, wrist and hand (39.8%) were greatly harmed and considered as the most injured part of the victim's body. This was followed by lower extremities (15.0%) and head (11.9%)..

[Audio] Among occupations, plant and machine operators and assemblers (33.7%) were the most prone to injuries. Elementary occupations and service and sales workers were also at high risk with 17.2 percent and 13.8 percent of the total occupational injuries, respectively..

[Audio] Now, lets define first what is workplace safety. Workplace safety is the process of protecting employees from work- related illness and injury. It also refers to the working environment at a company and encompasses all factors that impact the safety, health, and well-being of employees. Workplace safety is a process that seeks to eliminate or reduce risks of injury or illness to employees. The chief aim of workplace safety is to protect an organization's most valuable asset—its people. Workplace safety is achieved through a variety of methods, including policies, procedures and specific hazard control techniques. Policies and procedures are devised and integrated into the organization's overall management and administrative processes. They usually involve specific job task procedures established for working with or around equipment, hazardous environments or other forms of high-hazard conditions. Safety procedures and policies include accountability requirements to ensure that prescribed practices are followed. A workplace free from injuries and accidents attracts employees. Employees are more satisfied and productive in such an environment. A safe workplace is essential for both employees and employers alike. It is the right of all employees to have safety in the workplace. Workplace safety is essential regardless of the size of a company. All companies, big or small, need to incorporate safety in their workplaces. Well-implemented safety measures keep employees safe and also protect industrial equipment. It is the responsibility and duty of employers to protect their employees and keep them safe..

[Audio] It is not possible to measure the effects of human casualties. They can have grave consequences for employees and their families and friends as well. This is why workplace safety and health measures are necessary. They are essential for the well-being of employers and employees alike. The feeling of assurance that one has, knowing that he will return safely from work, is more significant than anything else. There are occupational safety and health risks in every company. Factors affecting workplace safety include unsafe working conditions, environmental hazards, substance abuse, and workplace violence. For example, employees working in an IT company may have to work with faulty wires or electronics. Whereas in a construction company, employees may be exposed to the dangers of operating heavy equipment. To combat these risks, employers should create strategies that ensure and promote safety in their workplaces. Employers should also learn the desired aspects of their employees in terms of safety and protection. This will help increase productivity and the quality of the products and services..

[Audio] Here are some benefits of a safe and healthy work environment...

[Audio] First one, The safer the work environment, the more productive it is. Productive employees are an asset to all companies. For instance, productive employees can produce more output in less time, reducing operational costs..

[Audio] Second, Workplace safety promotes the wellness of employees and employers alike. Better safety equates to better health. Healthier employees do tasks more efficiently, and they are happier in general..

[Audio] Third , Less downtime for safety investigations and reduces costs for workers compensation. There are very few accidents in a safe working environment. This results in less downtime for safety investigations and reduces costs for worker's compensation. This also reduces the time needed for employees to heal from injuries..

[Audio] Fourth, Damage to industrial equipment creates costs for replacement and repair. Avoiding workplace injuries and damage to industrial equipment will incur fewer expenses and increase profit..

[Audio] Fifth, If employers are concerned about the safety of their employees, the employees are more confident and comfortable in general. Also, absenteeism rates drop, and employees are more focused on doing their tasks..

[Audio] What are the ways to create safety workplace?.

[Audio] The following are ways to create safety workplace First, Being Aware and Identifying workplace Hazards This is the first step to create a safe working environment. Employers need to identify workplace hazards and safety issues first. Then they must take measures to address them accordingly. Workplace safety hazards can include mechanical issues, dangerous chemicals, hazardous electrical equipment, etc. Mechanical problems can occur at any time while operating machinery in the workplace. Also, working with heavy equipment is very risky and can cause accidents. If employees need to work with chemicals, they have to be very cautious. Dangerous chemicals can burn or poison employees. Inhaling or ingesting them can even cause death. Also, working with electronic equipment can have risks as well. Faulty electrical equipment can electrocute employees, causing severe problems. Employees should be aware of the types of equipment and know the hazards in their workplace. This enables them to stay clear of such dangers and unfortunate situations. Also, employers should train employees in the proper operation and maintenance of machinery and equipment..

[Audio] Number 2. Implementing Workplace Safety Programs The first step in building a safety program is to get all employees to commit to workplace safety. One way to do this is to include workplace safety in the company's mission statement. It should be the duty of every employee to carry out the safety policies. Employers should investigate all accidents in the workplace. They should encourage employees to follow all safety procedures. Moreover, employers should clearly state the hazards of not following them in writing. This reduces the chances of mistakes..

[Audio] Number 3. Providing Proper Safety Training to Employees Training is an important part of every company's safety program to protect employees from accidents. Research shows that new employees have a higher risk of workplace accidents. It is the lack of knowledge of workplace hazards and proper work techniques that cause this greater risk..

[Audio] Number 4. Using Protective Safety Equipment The usage of equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause workplace injuries is significant. Not doing so can cause injury or even death. Employees may have to work with chemicals, machines, electronics, and other potential work hazards. Employers must provide such employees with personal protective equipment (P.P.E.). P.P.E. should be safely designed, constructed, and fit comfortably. Examples of P.P.E. are gloves, protective eyewear, clothing, earplugs, hard hats, etc..

[Audio] Number 5. Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions Employees must inform any safety hazards or work risks to the management. Employers are legally obligated to ensure safe working environments for their employees. They must end workplace safety hazards and promote safety in the workplace. For the bottomline, A safety workplace is a feature of good companies throughout the world. All employees want assurance of their safety and protection. Workplace safety is a critical issue. Employers should ensure that their employees are working in a safe environment. Management systems and business owners are responsible for promoting workplace safety. Employers should encourage employees to adopt safe practices and use safety equipment. They should encourage safety policies and safety programs. Also, employees should be aware of the risks of operating hazardous machinery..

[Audio] 7S OF GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 5S or 7S of Good Housekeeping has been a popular training topic being given to Local Government Units (LGUs), Human Resource Management Offices (HRMOs) and those applying to become a hotel housekeeping staff overseas. Though fundamental in cleaning and housekeeping tasks, the application and execution of the 5S or 7S of Good Housekeeping remains a problem since most training do not include practical applications and are not customized depending on need..

[Audio] So now, let's briefly discuss What is 7S of Good Housekeeping? Why is it so important that training about it is being given to a lot of people? If you research further, Henry Ford was the one who originally developed what we know as the 5S methodology back in 1972 but was known as the CANDO programme. Japanese businessman and author Shigeru Mizuno then popularized this as a management method and added 2 more "S", developing the 5S to 7S in the 1980s..

[Audio] 7, S stands for: Sort, Systematize, Sweep, Standardize, Safety, Self-Discipline, Sustain First S, stands for Sort- identify and eliminate unnecessary items from your workplace. Do the Red Tag technique Another S, pertains to Systematize which means to arrange every necessary items in good order S-for sweep means to clean workplace thoroughly Another S, stands for Standardize, Which means to maintain a high standard of good house keeping S- for Safety which means to maintain safety in the workplace S- for Self Discipline- which means to do things spontaneously and willing without being told or ordered Lastly, Sustain- which means to continue 7S activities in order to achieve good results.

[Audio] Workplace safety law consists of state regulations imposed on businesses in an effort to keep employees safe from harm. These rules apply to nearly all private sector employers. Standards are in place to reduce the risk of accidents and illnesses in the workplace, and government agents have authority to investigate violations and issue citations for noncompliance. Offenders are subject to monetary fines, and in some cases, imprisonment and other criminal penalties. in the Philippines , the legal provisions on Occupational Safety and Health come from the Occupational Safety and Health Standards 1989 and the later Occupational Safety and Health Standards Act 2017..

[Audio] With the enactment of Republic Act No. 11058, Filipino workers are given better protection in the workplace. This law ensures safer workplaces by requiring employers to provide complete safe work procedures, information dissemination about work-related hazards, safety and health training, and protective equipment. Workers are also encouraged to have a better understanding of the risks that come with their occupations, to know that they have the right to refuse unsafe work, to report accidents, and to participate in the safety and health program of their employers. The law requires employers to have an Occupational Safety Health (OSH) Program with the following guidelines or information: a commitment to comply with OSH requirements, general health and safety guidelines related to drugs and illness control, details of company projects, the composition of the OSH committee, the safety personnel and facilities, safety training and education, accident reporting, worker wellness, emergency preparedness , waste management systems and prohibited acts. Such program is subject to the approval of the DOLE..

[Audio] Every employer covered by the provisions of these Standards must furnish his workers a place of employment which is free from hazardous conditions that are causing or are likely to cause death, illness or physical harm to his workers. The following are the General requirements of this provision for employers mainly are to: a) Provide workplace free from hazardous conditions; b) Give complete work safety instructions for workers; c) Comply with the requirements of OSH System; d) Use only approved devices and equipment. The employer must ensure the ongoing surveillance of the working environment through, an occupational health service, the health programme and other approaches. Specific health surveillance is required when workers are exposed to substances such as natural fertilizer, lead, mercury, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitro glycol and other similar substances. In addition, all workplaces must have an OSH-approved safety programme, as well as a committee and an officer to enforce and manage the programme, with the DOLE enforcing training on basic OSH for safety officers and workers alike..

[Audio] The following rights are enshrined in law for employees for which employers are responsible. Lets discuss each rights one by one. 1. The right to know about hazards in the workplace 2. The right to refuse unsafe work 3. The right to report accidents 4. The right to Personal Protective Equipment.

[Audio] The employees have the right to know about any hazards, or potential hazards, which may be found in the place of employment. It is their right to receive instruction, information, training and supervision necessary for them to do their job safely. By the way what is a HAZARD? A hazard is anything that is likely to cause harm or injury in certain circumstances. Common hazards in the workplace are toxic chemicals, unsafe machineries and the like. More detailed discussions will be presented later by the next reporter. The employees must make sure that he or she knows what the hazards are at his or her workplace. Other examples of information that the employee have a right to know include: safe work practices and procedure, emergency procedures (such as evacuations or first aid); policies that exist in your workplace (such as violence or harassment policies); how to safely use and handle chemicals and other substances found in your workplace; and how to raise a safety concern..

[Audio] The employee have the right to refuse to perform any specific job or task which have reasonable grounds to believe is unusually dangerous. The danger may be to the employee or to any other person at your workplace. An unusual danger could include: a danger that is not normal for the job like repairing a roof in dangerous winds, danger that would normally stop work such as operating a forklift with a flat tire or a situation for which you are not properly trained, equipped, or experienced to do the work assigned such as cleaning windows on a tall building with no fall protection equipment or training.

[Audio] Republic Act No. 11058 or An act strengthening compliance with occupational safety and Health standards, Section 7 states the worker's right to report accidents. The workers and their representatives shall have the right to report accidents, dangerous occurrences, and hazards to the employer, to Department of Labor and Employment and to other concerned competent government agencies. They shall be free from any form of retaliation for reporting of any accidents. Reporting of accidents to DO-LE may be made through any means of communication, including hotline or whichever is most convenient to the worker..

[Audio] Every employer shall provide his or her workers, free of charge Personal Protection and Equipment or PPE for any part of the body that may be exposed to hazards such as safety belt or harness, dust respirators and the like whenever necessary by reason of the hazardous work process or environment. All PPE shall be appropriate type, tested and approved based on its standards. The usage of PPE in all establishments, projects shall be based on the evaluation and recommendation of the safety officer as a result of the workplace hazard assessment. Failure to provide appropriate PPE in high risk activities shall give rise to the right of the worker to refuse unsafe work..
