    Associated with poorly guarded or dangerous


    equipment and machinery.
    Health is the efficient functioning of
    an individual’s body; safety is the
    state of being safe from undesirable
    events or consequences.

    Difference
    Health hazards affect the health,
    between Safety safety hazards make the
    surrounding conditions unsafe or
    & Health risky.
    Hazards

    Health risks take a long time to


    show their effects, safety risks
    usually have immediate effects
    • Easy to judge and deal with safety
    hazards, they are well understood;
    health hazards are difficult to catch
    and deal with as they usually show
    Difference their effects after a long time.
    • Data collection and inferences is
    between Safety easier for safety hazards compared to
    & Health health hazards
    • Examples; safety hazards-getting hit
    Hazards by moving machinery; health hazards-

    Hazards
    Risk Assessment and Tools
    • Risk Assessment-A formalized process of
    identifying hazards, assessing the risk that
    they generate and then either eliminating or
    controlling the risk.
    Risk
    • The Five Areas of Hazards are People,
    Equipment, Materials, Environment and
    System.
    • The Hierarchy of Control are Elimination,
    Summary Substitution, Engineering, Administrative and
    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
    • Risk-The likelihood that a hazard will cause
    harm in combination with the severity of injury,
    damage or loss that might foreseeably occur.
    • Accidents are more expensive than
    most people realize because of the
    hidden costs.
    Conclusio • A formalized process of identifying

    n hazards, assessing the risk that they


    generate and then either eliminating or
    controlling the risk will help to reduce
    or prevent this cost.
