Safe Working Habits
Introduction
Through our experience and observation, most accidents occur through
the carelessness of the victim himself.
Hence the prevention of accidents happening to him can be avoided by
following a set of simple rules and procedures which are largely derived by from
one’s common sense. Safe working habits
can be part of the worker's normal way of life provided that they are shown the
right way in the beginning and right through their working career by
continually instilling their sense of awareness for safety and reinforcing
their knowledge. Listed below are a list of pointers every supervisor
should bear in mind and there are definitely more which can be added to this
list.
1)
Correctly Trained Workers
Before commencing work each and every newly recruited
worker should be briefed and shown the correct method of work. They should understand their function and
consequences of their failure to perform it before they are assigned to their
task. Supervisors should encourage
their workers to refer them for advice if they are not sure of any part of
their job duties assigned to them.
2) Use of Safety
Equipment
If personnel protective gear is required, they should be
provided and be ensured that they are being used. Examples of those are safety helmets,
footwear, hearing protectors, goggles, nose masks and leather gloves.
3) Cleanliness and Good
Housekeeping
Cleanliness and good housekeeping are part and parcel of
safety programme and should not be ignored or neglected.
4) Proper Attire To Work
Wearing proper attire to work is also important. Long hair or loose clothing which could be
caught by revolving machinery must be discouraged.
5) Cleaning Machinery
Moving parts of machinery should not be cleaned whilst
in motion..
6) Care For His
Neighbour
Each and every worker has to exercise due care for his
neighbour. This means that he should not
do anything that could cause injury to his neighbour.
7) Avoid Play at Work
Playing the fool; setting up pranks or frightening other
workers at place of work could result
injury directly or indirectly.
8) Regular Checks on
Safety Devices
All safety devices for machines should be checked
regularly by knowledgeable personnel.
The operator should report any malfunction and refrain from tampering
with them e.g. fire extinguishers, fire pump, emergency stop buttons limit
switches and brakes for cranes.
9) Accident Reports and
Investigations
All accidents however small should be reported to their
immediate supervisor and be investigated.
10) The Right Worker for
the Right Job
The state of health and alertness of every worker should be considered
when assigning duties. Tiredness, sleepiness, overwork or illness could result
in injury to the worker himself or others.
