It includes the accidents

that could result in the

death of the injured

worker.

TEMPORARY

DISABLEMENT

Accident that reduces

the earning capacity of

an employee when he

engaged in the injury.

PERMANENT DISABLEMENT

An accident that reduces

completely reduces the

earning capacity of an

employee…..!!!!

3. According to causes of event

Machine Accidents Contact

Impact

Trap

Ejection of particles

Non Machine Accidents Tripping over obstacles on ground

Slipping due to oil and greases

Running inside the shop

Leaning from ladder to reach the

object

NATURE/ EFFECTS

OF ACCIDENTS

THE NATURE OF ACCIDENTS MAY VARY FROM

INDUSTRY TO INDUSTRY. AN EMPLOYEE MAY FALL

FROM HEIGHT WHILE ENGAGE IN PARTICULAR

JOB, OR MAY BE CAUGHT ON MACHINE WHILE

WORKING & INJURE EMPLOYEE. THESE RESULTS IN

DISABLEMENT OR DEATH.

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS

Accident do not have any single cause. These are the result of combination of factors which may vary from situation to situation.

It is possible to classify accident causes under the headings:-

P

E

E

P

S

Plant, eg; A faulty layout, electrical and chemical hazard etc

Equipment, eg; a defective guard ,incorrect equipment.

Enviornment, eg; High noise, insufficient light and

ventilationPeople, eg; Careless ,untrained, overstressed.

Systems of work, eg; Poor procedure , Bad housekeeping.

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS

Unsafe condition Improperly guarded equipment

Inadequate warning system

Poor Ventilation system

Fire and Explosive hazard

Improper plant layout

Congestion of workplace

Hazardous atmospheric conditions

Poor Housekeeping

Excessive noise and Radiation explosure

Unsafe act Operating equipment at improper speed

Operating equipment without authority

Using equipment improperly

Engaging with gambling

Use of alcohols by employees

Improper loading and placement of equipment

Improper lifting and taking improper position

Using Defective equipment

Throwing Material on the floor which leads to obstacle

TYPES OF ACCIDENT COST

Direct Cost

Medical Expenses

Cost involved in damage of

equipment

Cost involved based on raw material

Compensation paid to injured person

Indirect Cost

Lost time of injured person

Lost time of other employees

Cost due to loss of profit on the injured

worker

Cost of time spent by First Aid

attendant and hospital staff

Lost time of Foreman, Supervisor&

other executive

Accident Prevention

Accident prevention may be define as “an integrated program , a series of coordinated

activities, directed to the control unsafe personal performance and unsafe mechanical

condition”

It depends on three E’s

Three

E’sEducation: Employees should be educated in safe

procedures

Enforcement: Safety rules should be properly enforced

Engineering: Job to be engineered for safety

Steps in Accident Prevention

1.Monitoring

Hazard Identification Techniques

Past accident analysis : Keeping a record of accident helps in indentifying

hazards based upon past experiences

Safety survey or study : It is a detailed examination in narrow field to

activity relating to industrial safety.

Safety audit :It is a detailed examination which covers a plant entirely. It is carried out thoroughly by a team of experts in various field.

Fault tree analysis : FTA is a deductive analysis approach for resolving an

undesired event into its causes.

Job hazard analysis(JHA): It is a technique that focuses on job tasks as a

way to identify hazard before they occur.

Hazard Control Techniques

1. Elimination: Removing the hazardous work practice from the workplace. This is the most effective control measure. The best way to eliminate the risk is to completely remove the hazard.

2. Substitution: Substitute the plant or hazardous aspects of plant with safer option, such as replacing padestial fan with ceiling fan.

3. Isolation: Isolating or separating hazardous work practice from people involved in work. For eg. Placing an air conditioning plant on roof.

4. Engineering control: If the hazard cannot be eliminated, substituted or isolated then engineering control is next preferred method.

Hazard Control Techniques

4. Administration control: includes introducing work practices that reduces

risk. Safe work practices should be used at all times to minimize exposure to a

hazard and hence minimize the risk. For eg. Sign boards indicating hazards

5. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Should be consider only when other

control measures are not practicable.
