Objectives

Note: In Unit One, I took the presentation, and the textbook and “answered” the learning objectives for you so that you could see how to synthesize classroom resources to take notes. Moving forward you will need to do this step yourself. The learning objectives will no longer be answered for you.

Lecture Section Two: Unit Introduction

The personal values of safety and quality are related.

● Quality failures usually shut down production,

diminish product

quality, and harm product safety.

● Similarly, safety failures can shut down

production, cause

product loss, and even cause injury or death.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) is the

government agency responsible for workplace safety

regulations,

conditions, training, and education

Lecture Section Three: Safety

Responsibilities

Companies’ Safety Responsibilities ● Provide a workplace free from serious recognized hazards, and comply with standards ● Ensure employees have, use, and maintain safe tools and equipment ● Establish, update, and communicate operating procedures so that employees follow safety and health requirements ● Develop and implement a written hazard communication program ● Provide copies of safety data sheets (SDSs). ● Keep records of work-related injuries and illnesses.

Lecture Section Three: Safety

Responsibilities

Employee Responsibilities If company management has met all its responsibilities, and there is a positive climate of safety and health, then employees have the following responsibilities: ● Know and observe all applicable safety and health regulations, instructions, and related requirements. ● Cooperate with others in doing everything possible to identify and correct unsafe conditions, eliminate unsafe or unsound practices, and prevent incidents and injuries.

Lecture Section Four: Safety Laws

Hazardous Communication Standard (HCS) Often referred to as the Right to Know or HazCom. The law stipulates that workers have a legal right to know the following: ● What chemicals they may be exposed to at work ● The risks associated with those potential exposures ● How to minimize or eliminate those exposures and risks

Lecture Section Four: Safety Laws

Bloodborne Pathogen Standard Impacts companies whose workers can reasonably anticipate coming in contact with human blood or other potentially infectious materials as a result of their job responsibilities. ● Working with or processing human blood samples or specific blood borne infectious materials. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease in humans.

OSHA hierarchy of controls

1. Engineering controls
2. Administrative controls (including work practices)
3. Personal protective equipment The most effective hazard controls use a combination of all three categories.

Lecture Section Four: Safety Laws

Administrative Controls and Written Procedures Administrative controls use written procedures and work practices to minimize hazards while completing a job. Examples of administrative controls include: ● SOPs, work-hour controls, ● emergency exit plans, ● written work practices, ● and many others.
