Unsafe practices & unsafe conditions


*

Two broad source of accident

Unsafe condition

Unsafe acts

To control accident first unsafe condition has to be controlled.

Then unsafe acts has to be attacked. This is harder to control and less immediate in effect.


*

Factors contributing to accidents

Mechanical cause inadequate safeguard of machine

Inadequately guarded

Unsafe design

Hazardous arrangement

Environmental cause inadequate environmental condition

Illumination

Ventilation

Temp

Speed of work

Hour of work

Work load

Technique of accident prevention contd.
Hazard assessment and evaluation
Hazard rating = Frequency x (severity + MPL + Probability )

= 1 X (3+45+15) = 63

Frequency of occurrence 1,2,3 or 10 times a year

Severity rating of accident 1, 2, 3 etc

MPL Maxm possible loss fatal 50, loss of two limbs 45, .. scratch 1

Probability Imminent 50, hourly 35, daily 25, once in a year - 5

If hazard rating is >100 action immediate

50 to 100 - today


*

Technique of accident prevention contd.

1. Eliminating hazard at source

2. Reduce hazard at source

3. Removal of employee from hazard

4. Curtain hazard by enclosure

5. Reduce employees exposure to hazard

6. Utilize Personal Protective equipment

*

Accident investigation

The purpose is to discover hazardous conditions and practices, so that accident from similar causes may be prevented. Idea to fix the blame should be definitely avoided because this may lead to covering up amongst the employees. It should be a fact finding method not fault finding.
