INDUSTRIAL SAFETY & CONTROL
Control of Physical Hazards: (Purpose of lighting. Advantages
of good illumination. Lighting and safety. Lighting and the
work. Control of Chemical Hazards Hazardous properties of
chemicals and appreciation of information provided in Materia
safety data sheets. Classification of dangerous materials with
pictorial symbols, common hazard and common precautions
for each class Control of Electrical Hazards Dangers from
electricity. Safe limits of amperages, Voltages Safe distance
from lines. Capacity and protection of conductors, Joints and
connections, Means of cutting of power overload and short
circuit protection. Statutory provisions regarding fire safety.
Factors contributing towards fire. Chemistry of fire.
Classification of fires. Common causes of industrial fires.
,Hazard:
Hazard is something which can cause harm to the people
Physical or Chemical condition that has potential to cause dam
people,property and environment.
Physical Hazard:
A physical hazard is defined as ,”A factor within the environme
can harm the body without necessarily touching it”.
Falls
Confined Spaces
Noise
Temperature
Electricity
Sunlight
Vibration
Ligthing
Air Pressure
, Purpose and Benefits Of Good Lighting:
The purpose of light is most important because without light the
have no appearance,no colour,no shape and no perspective.
Light and colour affect human efficiency,accident possibility and
general well being,morale and fatigue.
Medical research has proved that a sufficient amount of lighting
needed for a healthy physiological functioning of human beings.
Benefits Of Good Lighting:
By better seeing improves,
Work performance & better environment.
Better discrimination(less spoilage and quick fault
detection),concentration(better work),alertness and less
fatigue(greater output and greater production).
Increase Of Safety and Productivity due to Good Lighting:
Good lighting includes both day lighting and artificial lighting.
Good lighting:
Decreases accident
