    METHODS OF RECOGNIZING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH STRESSES/HAZARDS

    1. Walk-through/ Ocular Inspection- this aims to make sure that all equipment, tools,
    supplies, materials, and facilities for the conduct of assessment are complete and
    functional.
    2. Review of the process involved- determining the whole process on how the product was
    made through a series of inspections.

    3. Knowing raw material, by-products, and finished products- it will help us to identify
    what kind of hazard will the workers is possibly exposed through knowing the nature of
    products manufactured.

    4. Gathering workers’ complaints- getting an information about the workers by interviewing


    them is also one of the method we can consider.
    5. Safety Data Sheet (SDS)- it is a summary of important health, safety, and information
    about the level of hazard that the facility needs to consider.
    SDS should be conform to the Globally Harmonized System(GHS) of classification and
    labelling of chemical
    Globally Harmonized System(GHS)- is an international standard for identifying and
    classifying chemicals and communicating its hazards.
    - enhance protection of humans and environment
    - facilitate international trades of chemicals
    - reduce the need for testing and evaluation of chemicals.

    Elements of GHS

    1. Health Classification Criteria


    - Physical Hazard
    - Health Hazard
    - Environmental Hazard
    2. Hazard Communication
    - Signal Words
    - Symbols/Pictograms
    - Hazard Statements

    Evaluation of Occupational Stresses/Hazards


    - once the hazard have been recognized, it is necessary to measure the levels of
    hazards and magnitude of worker’s exposure to certain chemicals.
    - This is done through Work Environment Measurement (WEM)

    Work Environment Measurement can be done through


    1. Personal Monitoring – A measuring device is placed as closed as possible to the
    contaminant’s entry port to the body.
    2. Area/Environmental Sampling- A measuring device is placed adjacent to the worker’s
    stations or fixed locations in the work area.
    3. Biological Monitoring- involves the measurement of changes in the composition body
    fluids, air exposure which is probably cause by hazardous material.
    Analysis of Results
    This can be done in the laboratory with some analytical instruments like:
    1. Gas Chromatograph for Solvents
    2. UV- Visible Spectrophotometer for Acids and Chemicals

    3. X-ray Diffractometer for Mineral Dusts
