Information Sheet 1.1

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

Occupational Safety and Health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with


protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. As a
secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers,
suppliers nearby communities, and other members of the public who are affected by the
workplace environment.

Occupational Health should aim to:

1. promote and maintain the highest degree of physical, mental and social well
being of workers in all occupations;
2. place and maintain the worker in an environment suitable to his physiological
and psychological capabilities;
3. protect workers from risk resulting from factors adverse to health; and
4. prevent workers from resignation due to health caused by poor working
conditions.

The reasons for establishing good occupational safety and health standards are
frequently identified as:

• Moral – an employee should not have to risk injury at work, nor should others
associated with the work environment.
• Economic – many governments realize that poor occupation and health per result
in cost to the State (e.g. through social security payments to the incapacitated,
costs for medical treatment, and the loss of the “employability” of the worker).
Economic studies human welfare in terms of the production, distribution, and
consumption of goods and services.
• Legal – Occupational safety and health requirements may be reinforced in civil
law and/or criminal law.

Safety Standards are standards designed to ensure the safety of products, activities
or processes and others.
OSHC Workplace Regulations

1. The place and all equipment and furnishings are maintained in thoroughly
safe, clean and hygienic condition and in good repair.
2. Keep the place free from rodents, cockroaches and other vermin.
3. Provide adequate facilities for hand washing, cleaning and disposing of
waste.
4. Establish proper procedures for infection control.
5. Keep the floor area and free from waste, water and grease.
6. Keep cabinets dry, clean and close tightly.

Information Sheet 1.2

One of the principal means of promoting efficiency in drafting is orderliness


and neatness. Efficiency in turn will produce accuracy in drawing. The drawing area should
be kept clear of equipment not in direct use.

Procedure in Setting up Drawing Tools, Materials and Equipment and


Standard Procedure

In preparation for a required task in Mechanical Drafting, student should plan,


prepare, and select tools and materials for a particular drawing activity. This is to ensure the
correct setting of standard procedure and accuracy of drawings.

The drawing tools, materials and equipment are very expensive items;
however these are important in all drafting tasks. Considering its cost and value in drafting
activity, it is also important to take care and maintain its usability.

With this, the following considerations are strictly emphasized as Standard Operating
Procedure during and after the utilization of the drafting tools, materials and equipment:

a. Before the start of drafting activity:


1. Select the tools, materials and equipment needed in the assigned task.
2. Properly set up the required tools and materials in a place convenient for you
to move and execute your work.
3. Clean the table and tools, see to it that these are free from dust and other
elements that would cause damage to your work.
4. Wash your hands with clean water.

WORK PLACE AND DRAWING TABLES ARE READY FOR THE

b. Activity proper:
1. Perform the activity by following the standard operating procedure per job
requirement.
2. Properly manipulate all the tools and equipment that are used in the activity.
3. In case errors or mistakes along the way (for instance misprinting of lines,
letters, and other forms of mistakes) use appropriate eraser.

c. After the activity:

1. Submit your output to your teacher for checking


2. Check all the tools and materials to ensure that nothing is lost.
3. Return the tools and materials to the tool keeper.
4. Withdraw your borrower’s card from the tool keeper and signed out that you
have returned the borrowed tools and materials.
5. Clean your work station before leaving.

CHECKING OF THE RETURNED TOOLS AND


INSTRUMENTS FOR PROPER SAFEKEEPING

There are important practices that must be observed in the work setting.

The following are:

1. Observe safety precautions:

a. Never smoke inside the work station.


b. Never use any tools and equipment without having it clean first.
