Accidents on the Job Accidents and injuries are not pleasant.

No one wants to get hurt or see anyone else get hurt. Working safely is every worker’s responsibilities.

Many accidents can be prevented when people are alert, careful, and aware of the potential dangers around them.

Workplace safety is primarily the responsibility of the individual employees.

Lack of Knowledge and Skills The worker who has not been trained to

do his or her job accurately and safely is most likely to make mistakes and have accidents.

Workers with less than one year’s experience account for almost 40% of all occupational accidents a year.

Environmental Hazards Possible dangers or unsafe conditions

are known as environment hazards. These hazards exist in every type of

working environment- from jobs involving mechanical equipment to automated offices.

Environmental Hazards (Cont.)

Hazards in Dangerous Work Environmental hazards

exist in many industries besides construction.

People involved in dangerous work must be safety-conscious. Being safety conscious involves knowing the appropriate steps to avoid accidents.

Hazards in the Office Office workers can

also become in contact with unsafe conditions in the workplace. Sometimes office workers forget to follow simple safety procedures at work because they feel safe in the office.

Poor Safety Attitudes Not taking the right attitude toward

safety can put you and others in danger. A poor safety attitude can lead to accidents.

Unsafe behavior People who don’t consider or practice

safety on the job have poor safety attitudes. Many accidents are caused by people with attitudes. Here are examples of unsafe behavior that should be avoided:

Recklessness Bad temper Lack of Consideration for others Disobedience / Carelessness Laziness Fatigue Impatience Emotional State and / or use of drugs or alcohol.

Preventing Accidents Preventing accidents

tools can be dangerous if not handled properly.

Closely following basic safety precautions is another way for you to help prevent accidents. Practicing safety on the job includes using ladders safely, lifting properly, preventing fires, and keeping work areas neat.

What to Do When an Accident Occurs

No matter how careful people are, accidents do happen. When an accident occur it is very important to stay calm.

soon as it is safe to do so. Who you will call will depend upon the extent of the accident or sudden illness.

What to Do When Accidents Occur (cont.)

Provide First Aid Try to receive formal

first aid before of while you are on the job. First aid means giving an ill or injured person immediate, temporary treatment before proper medical help arrives. To stop bleeding use a tourniquet as a last resort. A tourniquet is a thin, long strip of cloth or other material to restrict blood flow.

Follow Universal Precautions Whenever an accident

occurs that involves loss of blood or vomiting, there is a danger of spreading serious viral infections. Universal precautions are the steps used to prevent the spread of infection.

Costs of Accidents The costs to you

An accident can cost you financially and personally. It could lead a lost time on the job, possible wage loss, and even a job loss. A disability is a permanent job-relayed injury.

The Costs to the Employer Work injuries from

accidents cost employers time and money. As the result of an accident, production slows down when a worker can’t perform their duties for a period of time. Most workers are covered by workers’ compensation if they are injured on the job.

Costs of Accidents (cont.) The Costs to the Economy

Accidental deaths or disabling injuries affect many workers in the workplace. Billions of dollars are paid nationwide each year to injured workers covered under workers’ compensation.

The Role of Government in Protecting Your Health

The government plays an important role in promoting safe working environments. It makes and enforces that promote health and safety on the job. These laws led to the creation of three government agencies that carefully monitor safety: OSHA,. EPA, and CDC.

OSHA The Occupational

Safety and Health Act is a national act passed by Congress in 1970. The act calls for safe and healthful working conditions. OSHA sets and enforces job safety and health standards for workers.

The Role of Government in Protecting Your Health

EPA Keeping the

environment safe and clean is a major concern for everyone. Pollution not only damages the environment, it can cause serious health hazards and diseases. The Environmental Protection Agency is another government agency that works to make this country a safer place to live.

CDC The Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention is part of the United States Department of Health and Human Service. CDC works with worldwide, state, and local health agencies to protect the public from health threats.
