1.0  INTRODUCTION

1.1  Definition of accident

* An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.

* An event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.

          1.2 Types of accident

                 Near Miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or    

                 damage  but had the potential to do so. Only a fortunate break in the

                 chain of events prevented an injury, fatality or damage; in other words, a

                 miss that was nonetheless very near.

          1.3 Location

                The accident in our video basically happen at counstruction site.

          1.4 Description of accident

                 A forklift want to lift up the frame building after that the rope broke up. The

                 forklift use old rope or not strong enough to lift up the building frame.

2.0  FINDINGS

The Main Causes For Accident

Explanation   A forklift want to lift up the frame building after that the rope broke up. The forklift use old rope or not strong enough to lift up the building frame. The  worker don’t check the rope if the rope still can use or need to change to a new one.

Effects on worker/employer   A forklift rope broke when to lift up the frame building.

Explanation If the fork move to another place  , when the rope broke can hits other worker that nearby the forklift.

3.0  CONCLUSION

We must has a responsibility to ensure that we and our friends are safe at work. We must follow the rules even it look like small things but somethimes the small thing can make trouble. Stay safe, stay health .

Hazard

Definition of hazard,

 A hazard is any object, situation, or behaviour that has the potential to cause injury,ill health , or damage to property or environment.

Health and safety hazards exist in every workplace. Some are easily identified and corrected, while others are necessary  risks of the job andnmust be managed in other way( for instance, by using protective equipment).

Most occupational hazards are inactive or have a low potential of actually occurring, however employers  must be prepared to deal with them since a hazard becoming active can generate an emergency situation.

Hazards can appear in many occupational circumstances. Some hazard are acute and pose an immediate danger to the health and physical integrity of the worker or guests on the premises. Others take a longer time to materialize and may have a cumulative effect, as in the case for certain chemicals,vapour, dusts, and radiation that may lead to chronic medical conditions following repeat or prolonged exposure.

Hazards can be classified as:

   Physical Hazards: These are the most common hazards and they included extremes of temperature, ionizing or non-ionizing radiation , excessive noise, electrical exposure , working from heights and unguarded machinery.

   Mechanical Hazards: These are usually created by machinery, often with protruding and moving parts.

   Chemical Hazards: These appear when a worker is exposed to chemical in the workplace. Some are safer than others, but for workers who are more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can cause illness, skin irriration, or breathing problems.

   Biological Hazards: These include the viruses, bacteria, fungus, parasites, any living organism that can infect or transmit diseases to human beings.

   Ergonomic Hazards: Including considerations of the total physiological demands of the job upon the worker, even beyond productivity, health and safety.

    Psychosocial Hazards: These may arise from a variety os psychosocial factor that worker may find  to be unsatisfactory ,frustrating, or demoralizing.

From our video hazard that can be identify are:

1.    Source : Frame building that can injured to other worker

2.    Situation : from the rope that worker see strong enough but can make they

                       get injured.

4.0  Recommendation ( on how to reduce / prevent an accident)

4.1  The importance of PPE

Safety is a major issue for day laborers. Each year, accidents happen frequently in the construction industry and often times it is due to the absence of Personal Protrctive Equipment (PPE) or failure to wear the provided PPE. PPE is equipment that will protect workers against health or safety risks on the job. The purpose is to reduce employee exposure to hazards whe engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels.

       Head Proctection

        Hard hats are common on construction sites. Just passing by a site, you

        can usually identify workers by their hard hats. They are designed to protect

        against flying or falling objects that would otherwise impact or penetrate the

        worker. Some hard hats are equipped with accessories such as face shields

        and earmuffs. Hard hats should be well-fitted, those that are too larger or

        too small are inappropriate for use.

  Eye and Face protection

      Eye and face protection are equally as important as head protection. Safety

      googles, spectacles and full face shields can give you the protection needed

      for the eyes and face. Metal work, wood-work,hot-work and air-tool

      operations all require this type of protection. General laborers can also

      benefit from safety googles since there is usually debris on construction sites.

          Respiratory protection

          Respiratory protections is vital on sites where toxic substances are present.

          Sometimes what you can’t see can hurt you. Respiratory protections like

          respirators are designed to protect you from dust, fumes, paint spray,

          pesticides and other dangerous substances that could cause permanent

          impairment. Respiratory protection should be used in environments with air

          contaminants. In work enviroments, respirators are relied upon when

          adequate ventilation is unavailable or other engineering control systems are

          not feasible or inadequate.

4.2  Safety signage

Safety signs are crucial in any work environment. The primary importance of displaying safety signs is to prevent injury and ensure staff and visitors are well aware of the possible dangers and hazards ahead in certain situations or enviroments. Without signs, many employees would lack the necessary direction in times of crisis, and employers might find themselves in significant legal difficulties if any accidents were to arise as a result.

4.3  Follow SOP / the appropriate work process

Using a right equipment

An example using make sure the rope is strong enough

Stay safe when looking the job process

Stand far from the forklift when its moving

           Company should hired more workers

      To easier the work if that work need a more people to do
