[Audio] Republic Act 11058 Strengthened Occupational Safety and Health Standards in the Workplace.

[Audio] This law outlines the duties of employers, workers, and other persons in ensuring that occupational safety and health (O-S-H--) standards are met. It applies to all establishments, projects, sites, and all other places where work is being undertaken in all branches of economic activity (including those regulated by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority) except in the public sector.

[Audio] A set of mandatory rules on O-S-H which codifies all safety orders issued prior to its promulgation Patterned after the Standards of other developed countries Objective: protection of workers.

[Audio] Why Occupational Safety and Health? moral it is morally right to safeguard worker from any kind of harm. It is the duty of all companies to provide the best care for their employees. Friends & families expect their love ones to go out and make their livelihood to come back home safe. The grief, pain, suffering of people who have their affected or hurt while working for their companies are felt by workers as well as their family members. legal reason For O-S-H is related ,to the compensatory, punitive, and preventive effects of laws, that protect the safety and health of workers. O-S-H legislation requires aII organizations to ensure the safety, welfare and health of employees and to conduct all work related activities in such a manner that they should not pose any harm to them. ECONOMIC There are powerful economic reasons for decreasing work concerning accidents as well as ill health and diseases related to work can result in many days of absence from work. Accidents can hinder normal operations and is a possible addition to the operating costs of a company. Additionally, the strain and stress on other employees can demotivate them, or might lead to more mishaps. The medical expense incurred by injured and ill workers in hospitals will be borne by the company.

[Audio] Incidents – an instance of something happening, an unexpected event or occurrence that doesn't result in serious injury or illness but may result in property damage. Accident – an unexpected event that results to injury or fatality. Near miss-– almost caused an injury or fatality.

[Audio] HIRAC or the Risk Assessment Process is the process of identifying workplace hazards, evaluating risks to workers' safety and health and control the relevant hazards..

[Audio] How H-I-R-A-C Is Done Hazard Identification Risk Assessment Determination of Control.

[Audio] Steps 1: Identify Hazards Categorize hazards to Safety and Health Hazards.

[Audio] Steps 2: Risk Assessment Risk matrix Risk matrix is used during risk assessment to define the level of risk by considering the category of probability or likelihood against the category of consequence severity. Elements: Probability (of event) Severity (of harm) Risk Rate (R-R---) – Probability x Severity.

Engineering Control. Administrative Control. Personal Protective Equipment.

[Audio] The pyramid has five levels of controls: Elimination – the most effective control where the hazard is removed completely. Substitution – replacing the hazard with something less hazardous. Engineering Controls – measures that isolate workers from a hazard, typically using some form of physical barrier or machinery. Administrative Controls – practices and policies that help to reduce exposure to a hazard, such as training, policies, and procedures. Personal Protective Equipment (P-P-E--) – equipment worn by workers to minimize exposure to a hazard, such as gloves, masks, or safety glasses..

[Audio] Sample H-I-R-A-C the Medical City Observe.

[Audio] Construction sites need to be monitored continuously to detect unsafe conditions and protect workers from potential injuries and fatal accidents. In current practices, construction-safety monitoring relies heavily on manual observation, which is labor-intensive and error-prone..
