Unsafe Act - is usually committed by people whether intentional or unintentional that could result in an
incident and injury to himself or to others, damage to property or to the environment.
Unsafe activities are the actions of the person, which is possible or certainly leads to accidents
or increase the risk of accidents. Unsafe conditions are the condition of equipment or
environment that is considered to be unsafe and possibly leads to an accident in a workplace.

A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), or Residual Current Device (RCD) is a type of circuit
breaker which shuts off electric power when it senses an imbalance between the outgoing and
incoming current. ... A circuit breaker protects the house wires and receptacles from overheating and
possible fire.
A ground fault circuit interrupter: is the only protection device designed to protect people against
electric shock from an electrical system.
Compressed gases can cause fires, explosions, oxygen-deficient atmospheres, toxic gas
exposures as well as the innate physical hazard associated with cylinders under high pressure.
Properly secure cylinders in a well ventilated, and protected area away from heat, flames, and the
sun. Segregated cylinders by hazard classes while in storage. Discontinue use of the cylinder when
it has at least 25 psi remaining; close valve to prevent air and moisture from entering.
flash arrestor is a gas safety device most commonly used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting to stop
the flame or reverse flow of gas back up into the equipment or supply line. It protects the user
and equipment from damage or explosions.
Steps of JSA: Identified the hazards associate with each step, determine control for each hazard,
discussed with workers. (JSA)
The 4 basic steps that are used for writing a JSA are:
Flammable substances are those gases, liquids and solids that will ignite and continue to burn in air if
1. below 73°F (23°C) below 100°F (38°C) diethyl ether, pentane, ligroin, petroleum ether.
2. below 73°F (23°C) at or above 100°F (38°C) acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, ethanol
A potentially explosive atmosphere exists when a mixture of air gases, vapors, mists, or dusts
combines in such a way that it can ignite under certain conditions.
include oil refineries, chemical plants, LNG plants, paint manufacturers, sewerage treatment
plants, distilling, wharves and offshore drilling rigs. These are all environments where hazardous
gas vapors may be present.
