Learning• Risk Assessment-Why do we Need Risk Assessment
Eight Basic Concepts of OSHMS
Incorporation of Workers’ Opinion
Process leading to an Injury
Risk Reduction Measures
• Occupational Safety and Health at Small and Medium Enterprise-how can we move better in safety and
health at work
• Zero Accident Practice-using three principals
• Point and Call
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs)
Why do we need Risk Assessment-Eliminate
or reduce risks or hazards before accidents occur
When to Implement Risk Assessment
-When structure is installed, relocated, modified or dismantled-When facility is newly introduced or changed-When raw material is newly adopted and changed-When working method and working procedure are newly adopted or changed-At the occurrence of work related accidents
Basic procedures of Risk ManagementStart- fggfdghyfhgdfObtain information
Identify Hazards
Estimate Risk of Hazard
Is it within appropriate range under the level acceptable in the workplace
Set priorities for risk reductionConsider risk reduction measures
Implement Risk Reduction Measures
Is it widely acceptable in the workplace

Risk Reduction Measures and ImplementationImplement measures if applicable
A Inherently safety measures
Eliminate or change hazardous operations,switch to less hazardous materials, switch to safer operations.
B Engineering safety measures
Install protective fences, interlocks, safety devices, local exhaustventilation systems and other safety protection measures.
C Administrative safety measures
Improve the instruction manuals, prohibition of entry, control ofexposure, education and training.
D Use personal protective equipment
Use only if the risks were not eliminated or reduced even after the above three measures are applied.

Risk Reduction Measuresa. Inherently safety measures
Stop using hazardous and switch to less hazardous one
b. Engineering safety measures
Installation of safety device, protective fence etc
c. Administrative control measure
Control a worker with prohibition of entry, education, training ect.
d. Use of personal protective equipment
Use only if the risks were not eliminated or reduced even after above measures are applied
OSH at Small and Medium Enterprise
• Understand the practical ways to facilitate workplace improvements in small and medium-sized enterprises
• Focus on the application of low-cost improvements for immediate changes of work and its productivity
a. Practical approach- good practice approach, support initiative of employee
b. Participatory steps- encourage systematic efforts (how to, not you must)
opportunities to take group action
c. Multi-faceted action- focus on low-cost improvements, emphasize multiple
interventions
Good Examples
Zero Accident Practice
• Three basic principles of Zero Accidents Campaigna. Principal of Participation
b. Principal of Preemptive Action
c. Principal of Zero Accidents
Participation-all
Preemptive action-identification & prevention
Zero accidents/illness
Point and Call method
• Promote work safety and error-free work
• Identification and confirmation
• Safety check method and accuracy
Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational Health Management
a. Work Environment
b. Work management
c. Health Management
1. Work Environment
-material substitute (harmful-low harmful)
-Device (ventilation, light, etc)
-work environment measurement device

2. Work management-Plan
-Process
-Method

-Tool
-PPE (personal protective equipment)
3. Health Management-medical examination
-rest

Way forward
• Promotion of Risk Assessment at the work place by means RA methods and measures
• Reduction of occupational accidents and diseases in SMEs
• Promotion of working environment with participatory actions
• Target Group(training)- 1. Safety Officers from
Enterprises (OSH policy developed)
2. Managers and Employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
