•Safety = the absence of: (i) injury and harm on human and (ii) damage on property and the environment
•Opposite of safety = accident•Health = a state of physical and mental well-being – including the absence of disease or infirmity.
•Safety deals with acute effects of hazards
•Health issue deals with chronic effects of hazards
•Chronic: persistent, prolonged and repeated
•Acute: immediate, short term

Hazard = a condition that has the potential to cause human injury or fatality, damage to property, damage to the environment or some combination of these. Risk = a measure of human injury, environmental damage, or economic loss in terms of both the incident likelihood and the magnitude of the loss or injury. In other words, risk = a chance of injury or loss or bad consequences to happen.

Hazard Control HierarchyNo. Control
MethodDescription/Example
1. Eliminate Completely remove the hazard from the workplace so that it is not there.
2. Substitute Replace the material or process with a less hazardous one.
3. Isolate Place a barrier or similar between the hazard and people within the workplace (e.g. a fence surrounding the hazard).
4. Engineering controls
Install or using additional machinery. (e.g ventilation system, guarding on machinery, sensor system).
5. Administrative controls
Safety briefings, safety trainings, work procedure, safety awareness signage.
6. PPE “Last line of defence” to protect a worker if the above measures have failed.

Engineering is an important and learned profession. As members of this profession, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity. Engineering has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life for all people. Accordingly, the services provided by engineers require honesty, impartiality, fairness and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. Engineers must perform under a standard of professional behavior that requires adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.

•Herbert W. Heinrich, an early pioneer of accident prevention and industrial safety.
•He studied 75,000 reports of accidents for insurance claims and concluded: 88% of industrial accidents are caused
by unsafe acts committed by workers 10% of industrial
accidents are caused by unsafe conditions
2% of industrial accidents are unavoidable.
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety

1. Injuries result from a complete series of factors, one of which is the accident itself
2. An accident can occur as a result of unsafe act and/or unsafe conditions
3. Most accidents are the result of unsafe behaviour by people
4. An unsafe act or an unsafe conditions does not immediately result in an accident/injury;
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety
Heal
th,
Safe
ty &

5. The reasons why people commit unsafe acts can serve as helpful guides in selecting corrective actions.
6. The severity of an accident is largely fortuitous and the factors that cause it are largely preventable.
7. The prevention techniques are analogous with the best quality and productivity techniques.
Heinrich’s Axiom of Industrial Safety
Heal

8. Management should assume responsibility for safety because it is in the best position to get results.
9. The supervisor is the key person in the prevention of industrial accidents.
10.In addition to the direct costs of an accident (i.e. compensation, liability claims, medical costs, and hospital expenses) there are also hidden or indirect costs.

•Kletz* recommended four ways for organisations to learn from past experience: Recent and old accidents should be described in safety bulletins and discussed at safety meetings
standards and codes of practice should contain notes on accidents which led to the recommendations
a 'black book' containing reports of accidents with technical interest that have occurred should be compulsory reading for all newcomers and for refreshing memories
accident information retrieval and storage systems should be used as they contain a wealth of useful information

•Safety culture is a part of the overall culture of the organisation and is seen as affecting the attitudes and beliefs of members in terms of health and safety performance.
•In other words, safety culture is the attitudes, values, norms, and beliefs that a particular group of people share with respect to risk and safety

Legislation, Act and Regulation
•Legislation is a law passed by a legislative body such as a Parliament or State Legislature.
•A law is considered to be an act when it has already been duly passed by a legislative body.
•A regulation, on the other hand, is one that is approved by a group of individuals based on an act that has already been passed. These regulations are based on the act that has been approved and served as a means to make the act a lot easier to follow and adhere to. For this reason, one act can have numerous regulations.

Evolution of OSH Legislation
•Legislation to overcome this problem was introduced very slowly.
•In 1844, specific safety provisions addressed the "fencing of dangerous machinery."
•Later Acts in the latter part of the 19th Century extended safety provisions to men and to other industries and hazards.
•British report in 1972: prepared by a committee of inquiry, chaired by Lord Robens and is known as the Robens Report.

Evolution of OSH Legislation
•The major recommendations made by Robens include: There should be more self regulation by employers and employees; (for example Safety & Health Officers and Safety & Health Committees);
There should be a single, comprehensive Act dealing with occupational safety and health that should contain a clear statement of the basic principles of the safety responsibility of employers, employees and manufacturers, based on common law.
The Act shall be supported by regulations and voluntary codes with the emphasis on the latter.

Evolution of OSH Legislation
•The Occupational Safety and Health Act in Malaysia as well as new style safety and health legislation in the UK and Australia, reflects many principles that were stated in a British report in 1972.
•In the year 1967, the Factory and Machinery Act was approved by the Parliament of Malaysia.
•In 1970, the Factory and Machinery Act and eight regulations under the act were enforced.
•This act was legislated to overcome the weaknesses in the Machinery Ordinance 1953, • Workers were not protected if they work in a workplace that doesn’t use machinery.

Introduction to OSHA 1994
•Occupational Safety and Health Act – 1994•This legislation was made considering the fact that the Factory and Machinery Act 1967 only covers occupational safety and health in the manufacturing, mining, quarrying and construction industries, whereas the other industries are not covered.
•The purpose of Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 is to promote and encourage occupational safety and health awareness among employers and workers.

Introduction to OSHA 1994
• Main principles that had been taken as the foundation in the drafting of this Act.
1. Self-regulationTo handle issues relating to occupational safety and health, employers must develop a good and orderly management system. Starting with formation of a safety and health policy and consequently employers have to make the proper arrangements to be carried out.

2. Tripartite consultationwhere employers, employees and the government must negotiate to settle issues and problems relating to occupational safety and health at the workplace.
3. Co-operation where employers and employees must co-operate to take care, nurture and to increase the quality of occupational safety and health at the workplace. Without co-operation between employers and employees, none of the occupational safety and health programmes carried out would succeed.
