Fundamentals ofIndustrial Hygiene
-
Industrial Hygiene is the identification, evaluation & control of hazards in the workplace
-
Hazards that can lead to accidents and work-related illnesses.
-
What is SAFETY ?Freedom from accidentsFreedom from harm, injury and loss
-
An accident is the result of contact of a body with a source of energy above the threshold limit of that body
-
Common accidentsStruck byStruck againstFall from a heightFall on same levelCaught inCaught onElectrocutionOverload
-
Causes of Accidents :Unsafe Condition - seen as a physical or chemical property in the materialUnsafe Act - a violation of safe procedureact of omissionact of commission

Acute Health Effects of HeatPrickly heat - immature sweat glandsHeat fatigue - bad mood (water loss)Heat cramps - muscle spasm(water + salts)Heat exhaustion - fatigue, diaphoresis, dehydration, nausea, vomiting
(water + salts + electrolytes)Heat stroke - overheating, seizure, coma

Job DesignFrequent review of work processElimination of crossoversWorkers position/posture
-
Risks in the JOBPositionForceFrequency
-
Best position:Elbow at 90 100 degreesWrist is straight
-
Because the arms are at a relaxed position and you maximize 100% muscular strength from this position
-
What is wrong with the picture? What would you recommend?
-
PositionHandWrist
-
ForceUse as less force as possiblePush your load, dont carry it
-
Waiters use carts instead of carrying plates over their shoulder
-
Climbing poles is a repetitive task
-
Basket cranes used to raise workers to top of electric poles
-
Repetition
-
Repetition removed
-
Observable discomfort or painWearing a support bandageshaking or rubbing hands /forearmsFlexing shoulder and back musclesRubbing neck, shoulders and backTaking pain-relief medicationFrequent clinic visits / absenteeism
-
Employee modificationsPillow for back supportstacked mats or platforms to stand onTool handles wrapped in tape
-
Adapt the job, the tool and workplace to the worker; instead of making the worker adapt to all of these.

WORK ENVIRONMENT MEASUREMENT
-
WORK ENVIRONMENT MEASUREMENT is the direct measurement of hazards, environmental stresses and their hazardous effects on the workers health.Purpose of Work Environment Measurement (WEM) :
* Determine the magnitude of harmful environmental agents; * Predict the harmfulness of new facilities, processes and methods; * To monitor workers exposure to hazards; * Evaluate the effectiveness of control measures adopted for improvement; * Maintain a favorable working condition.
-
Threshold Limit Values ( TLVs )- refer to the time weighed concentrations of airborned contaminants for an 8-hour workday and 40 hour per week exposure.Types of TLVs :
1. TLV TWA is the time weighed average concentration of airborne contaminants for a normal 8-hr. workday and 40 hr. work week, without adverse effect to the health of the workers.
2. TLV - STEL- is a time weighed average calculated over a 15 minute period. This is applied in situations where brief excursions could be experienced (while not exceeding the 8-hour TLV-TWA)
-
Types of TLVs . 3. TLV C - are values which should not be exceeded even briefly.If any of these three TLVs is exceeded, a potential hazard from that substance is presumed to exist. The degree of hazard from exposure to harmful environmental factors or stresses would depend on the following: * Nature of the material or energy involved. * Intensity of exposure. * Duration of exposure. * Individual susceptibility.
-
WORK ENVIRONMENT MEASURING INSTRUMENTS ( WEM )NOISE - Sound level meter, frequency analyzer.
LIGHT - Luxmeter or Lightmeter
EXTREMES OF TEMPERATUTE Thermometer
RADIATION Film badge, Thermoluminiscence detectors, Pocket dosimeter.
