Industrial Hygiene in the Welding Workshop

Employers, managers and supervisors should all ensure that workplace practices reflect the risk assessment and safety statement. Behavior, the way in which everyone works, must reflect the safe working practices laid down in these documents. Supervisory checks and audits should be carried out to determine how well the aims set down are being achieved. Corrective action should be taken when required.

The Company’s goal is to have zero work-related illnesses or injuries. However, in order to attain this goal, it will require a team effort involving both the Company and the employees. Only through such a coordinated effort can this safety plan be established and sustained.

Training should be given in such a way that hazardous situations can be avoided. For example: Lengthening of working day, removal of taking screening breaks etc for meeting deadlines should be avoided. You must ensure that the significant hazards are identified, and that the actual working practices are addressed and if need be, changed so as to reduce any risk.

The first takeaway from this video I learned was the emergence of the Right to Know policy in 1983, which developed OSHA’s creation. The Right to Know policy was introducing the concept that an individual has the right to know about chemicals, and more accurately, chemical hazards which the workers, in their facilities, were using. The second takeaway was OSHA’s biggest challenge being safety implementation. Statistically, every day at work, 12 people are killed; every year, 3 million are injured with much more that go undocumented. These injuries are completely preventable.

Whether you choose to work in your garage, workshop or outdoors, you need to ensure the area is totally safe at all times. You must go to the place you will carry out your welding tasks and assess the potential risks or hazards. When you do this, you can either make the area safe or if it’s not a suitable location, can look elsewhere. Take your welding supplies and move because if an area isn’t safe to work in, you put yourself at risk.

It is important it have a written work Health and Safety Policy for the organizations and businesses which have management systems. The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 addresses Major Hazard Facilities in Regulation 558 and Schedule 17(1.2) and requires that the Safety Management System includes a Safety Policy, including the operator’s broad aims in relation to the safe operation of the major hazard facility, and that the safety policy must include and express commitment to ongoing improvement of all aspects of the safety management system. A Work Health and Safety Policy is an explicit statement of business commitment to work health and safety. It will include a statement outlining the importance which is placed on work health and safety and how it is to be implemented.

Just recently, All Weather Windows Commercial Ltd., has purchased a smaller company with a large glass manufacturing facility. This smaller company has approximately 150 employees that now work under our organization. Throughout this assignment, I will focus on basic safety initiatives to implement into the new facility. The reason I chose to focus on implementing basic safety initiatives, is based on the fact, this new facility is populated with many plant workers and has to now adopt my organization safety program.

Occupational health and safety (OHS) in the workplace requires an effective systematic approach with strategies to control and monitor OHS risks and which is consistent with relevant OHS legislative requirements.
