Occupational or work-related ill-health - <<<<ANSWERS>>>this
is concerned with those illnesses or physical and mental disorders
that are either caused or triggered by workplace activities. Such
conditions may be induced by the particular work activity of the
individual or by activities of others in the workplace. They may be
either physiological or psychological or a combination of both. The
time interval between exposure and the onset of the illness may
be short (e.g. asthma attacks) or long (e.g. deafness or cancer).
Environmental protection - <<<<ANSWERS>>>these are the
arrangements to cover those activities in the workplace which
affect the environment (in the form of flora, fauna, water, air and
soil) and, possibly, the health and safety of employees and
others. Such activities include waste and effluent disposal and
atmospheric pollution.
Accident - <<<<ANSWERS>>>this is defined by the UK HSE as
"any unplanned event that results in injury or ill-health of people,
or damage or loss to property, plant, materials, or the
environment or loss of a business opportunity". Other authorities
define an accident more narrowly by excluding events that do not
involve injury or ill-health. It is important to note that work related
accidents may not always occur at the place of work. Commuting
accidents occur during work-related travel (usually by road).
Near miss - <<<<ANSWERS>>>this is any incident that could
have resulted in an accident. Knowledge of near misses is very
, important as research has shown that, approximately, for every
"10 near miss" events at a particular location in the workplace, a
minor accident will occur.
Dangerous occurrence - <<<<ANSWERS>>>This is a "near miss"
which could have led to serious injury or loss of life. Specified
dangerous occurrences are always reportable to the enforcement
authorities. Examples include the collapse of scaffold or a crane
or the failure of any passenger-carrying equipment.
Hazard and risk - <<<<ANSWERS>>>A hazard is the potential of
substance, person, activity or process to cause harm. Hazards
take many forms including, for example, chemicals, electricity and
working from a ladder. A hazard can be ranked relative to other
hazards or to a possible level of danger. A risk can be reduced
and a hazard can be eliminated or controlled by good
management.
Hazard - <<<<ANSWERS>>>Hazard - Is an artical, substance ,
action or condition that has the potential to cause harm or
damage (unsafe acts or unsafe conditions)
Risk - <<<<ANSWERS>>>Risk - The likelihood of harm occurring
Risk = Likelihood X Severity
Convection - <<<<ANSWERS>>>
Conduction - <<<<ANSWERS>>>
Direct Burning - <<<<ANSWERS>>>
Radiation - <<<<ANSWERS>>>
