5`S and OHS

What Does 5S Stand For?

• 5S, sometimes referred to as 5s or Five S, refers to five Japanese terms

used to describe the steps of the 5S system of visual management. Each
term starts with an S.
• By Sakichi Toyoda
the founder of Toyota who is also known as the “father of the
Japanese industrial revolution.”

Sort through materials, keeping only the

essential items needed to complete
tasks. (This action involves going

Seiri Sort Suriin through all the contents of a workspace

to determine which are needed and
which can be removed. Everything that
is not used to complete a work process
should leave the work area.)
 Ensure that all items are organized and
each item has a designated place.
Salansani Organize all the items left in the
Set in workplace in a logical way so they
Seiton n make tasks easier for workers to

complete. This often involves placing
items in ergonomic locations where
people will not need to bend or make
extra movements to reach them.
 Proactive efforts to keep workplace
areas clean and orderly to ensure

Shine purpose-driven work. This means

Seiso Simutin cleaning and maintaining the newly

organized workspace. It can involve
Sweep routine tasks such as mopping, dusting,
etc. or performing maintenance on
machinery, tools, and other equipment.
 Create a set of standards for both
organization and processes. In essence,
Standardize this is where you take the first three S's
Seiketsu /Sanitize
Siguruhin and make rules for how and when these
tasks will be performed. These
standards can involve schedules, charts,
lists, etc.
 Sustain new practices and conduct

Sariling audits to maintain discipline. This

Shitsuke Sustain means the previous four S's must be

continued over time. This is achieved
kusa by developing a sense of self-discipline
in employees who will participate in 5S.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and
welfare of people engaged in work.
• to foster a safe work environment.
• 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 impacted by the workplace environment
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• established by Executive order No. 307.

The main objectives of the OSC are follows:

1. Prevent, eliminate or reduce work-related injuries, illnesses and deaths .
2. Promote quality of work by effectively implementing the rules.
3. Maintain knowledge and advancement of ideas regarding safety measures.

HAZARDS AND RISKS AND ITS EFFECTS
A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health,
property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a
theoretical risk of harm. However, once a hazard becomes "active", it can
create an emergency situation. A hazard is always exist. A hazardous
situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and
vulnerability interact together to create risk.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Three modes:

1. Dormant - The situation has the potential to be hazardous, but no people,

property, or environment is currently affected by this. For instance, a hillside
may be unstable, with the potential for a landslide, but there is nothing
below or on the hillside that could be affected.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
2. Armed - People, property, or environment are in potential harm's way.
3. Active - A harmful incident involving the hazard has actually occurred.
Often this is referred to not as an "active hazard" but as an accident,
emergency, incident, or disaster.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
TYPES OF HAZARD
Biological Hazard
• A biological hazard is one originating from an organism that is foreign
(in presence or concentration) to the organism being affected.
• Many biological hazards are associated with food, including certain
viruses, parasites, fungi, bacteria, and plant and seafood toxins.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• Pathogenic Campylobacter and Salmonella are common food borne
biological hazards.
• The hazards from these bacteria can be avoided through risk mitigation
steps such as proper handling, storing, and cooking of food.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Chemical
• A chemical can be considered a hazard if by virtue of its intrinsic
properties can cause harm or danger to humans, property, or the
environment
• Some chemicals occur naturally in certain geological formations, such as
radon gas or arsenic.
• Other chemicals include products with commercial uses, such as
agricultural and industrial chemicals, as well as products developed for
home use.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• Other chemicals include products with commercial uses, such as
agricultural and industrial chemicals, as well as products developed for
home use.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Mechanical
• A mechanical hazard is any hazard involving a machine or process.
• Motor vehicles, aircraft, and air bags pose mechanical hazards.
• Compressed gases or liquids can also be considered a mechanical hazard
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Physical
• A naturally occurring process that has the potential to create loss or
damage.
• Such as earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes.
• Physical hazards often have both human and natural elements.
• Other examples: expose on extreme temperature and radiation
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Ergonomic
• It is a physical factor within the environment that harms the
musculoskeletal system.
• Ergonomic hazards include uncomfortable workstation height and poor
body positioning.
• Caused by poorly designed workplaces or processes
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• Examples are poor lighting, or a job that requires you to repeat the same
movement over and over.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Hazard vs. Risk
Hazard and risk are often used interchangeably, however, in terms of risk
assessment, these are two very distinct terms. As defined above, a hazard is
any biological, chemical, mechanical, or physical agent that is reasonably
likely to cause harm or damage to humans or the environment with sufficient
exposure or dose.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Risk is defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a
negative consequence.

SAFETY REGULATIONS

The Philippines Clean Air Act of 1999

• The Clean Air Act is the constitutional law designed to make sure that all
Filipinos have air that is safe to breathe.
• In 1999, Congress enacted Republic Act No. 8749.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Waste management
The collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal of waste
materials. Waste Management program helps manage hazardous chemical,
radioactive, medical and other wastes safely and legally.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Types of Waste
Solid wastes - Solid waste is defined as any waste that is dry in form and is
discarded as unwanted.

Liquid Wastes - Liquid waste includes human waste, runoff (storm water or
flood water), sullage, industrial wastewater and other forms of wastewater
from different sources
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Classification of waste
Biodegradable - Biodegradable wastes are those that can be broken down
(decomposed) into their constituent elements by bacteria and other
microorganisms
Non-biodegradable - any discarded item that cannot be broken down by
living organisms.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Disaster Preparedness and Management
Aims to reduce, or avoid the potential losses from hazards, assure prompt
and appropriate assistance to victims of disaster, and achieve rapid and
effective recovery.
 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
Disaster Management Cycle
Mitigation - Minimizing the effects of disaster.
Preparedness - Planning how to respond.
Response - Efforts to minimize the hazards created by a disaster.
Recovery - Returning the community to normal
