What learners will learn

The module covers one learning outcome:

  • LO1: Importance of Occupational Health and Safety Procedure

After going through the module, learners are expected to:

  • recognize the importance of OHSP

The module has one lesson, Lesson 1: Practice Occupational Health and Safety Procedures. It explains why OHS matters, the elements of an OHS management system, the types of hazards, ways to control them, risk and risk assessment, and safety tips for the kitchen.

Why occupational health and safety matters

The module explains that OHS has become a growing concern over the last 30 years. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was set up in 1970, showing that a safe workplace is a basic expectation for all employees. In the Philippines, the main OSH rules are in the Philippine Labor Code (mainly Book IV) and the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) of 1978. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and other agencies also issue guidelines and orders on OSH.

According to the module, OHS in the workplace is vital because:

  • employees are more productive and happier
  • a clean and healthy workplace reduces absenteeism
  • the workplace is safer, cleaner, and looks more professional
  • insurance claims from workplace accidents go down
  • employees, the company’s most valuable assets, are protected
  • the business keeps more customers
  • the business saves money in the long run through fewer injuries, damage claims, and absences

Five elements of an OHS management system

  1. Management commitment: setting an OHS policy and identifying its objectives.
  2. Planning: setting standards for management and employees.
  3. Consultation: two-way communication between employers and employees about high-risk activities.
  4. Training: especially for new, inexperienced, or returning workers.
  5. Risk management: identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and considering existing precautions.

Hazards, risk, and how to control them

A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm, or adverse health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work. A risk is the probability that a person will be harmed if exposed to a hazard.

Types of hazards

TypeWhat brings it
PhysicalUnhealthy working conditions, poor lighting or ventilation, faulty equipment, wrong use of knives; slips, trips, and falls
BiologicalInfected workers and unhygienic practices that spread bacteria, parasites, or fungi
ErgonomicPoor posture from long standing, bending, pushing, lifting, and carrying
PsychologicalToo much work stress, leading to strain, anxiety, or depression
ChemicalCleaning chemicals such as disinfectants, and fumes and smoke from cooking

Ways to make hazards less dangerous

  1. Elimination: dispose of broken items and expired ingredients properly.
  2. Substitution: replace hazardous tools with safer, easier-to-use ones.
  3. Safeguard: modify tools or equipment and put up safety signs.
  4. Isolation: mark hazardous areas and keep workers away from them, such as a separate room for chemicals.
  5. Personal protective equipment (PPE): gloves to avoid burns, aprons to protect from spills.
  6. Instructing workers: make sure everyone knows and follows the safest procedures.

Risk assessment means identifying hazards, evaluating their risks, and deciding how to eliminate or control them. The module also teaches the four-step SAFE system: Spot the hazard, Assess the risk, Fix the problem, Evaluate the result.

Kitchen safety tips from the module

  • Use dry pot holders, and keep them away from the fire.
  • Lift saucepan lids away from you to avoid steam burns.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher near the kitchen and learn to use it.
  • Turn off the stove when you finish cooking, and wipe spills right away.
  • Keep the floor clear, and keep pets and small children at a safe distance.
  • Pick up knives by the handle, cut on a chopping board, and keep the blade down and slanted away from you.
  • Keep fingers away from moving parts of mixers and blenders.
  • Do not pick up broken glass with bare hands.

What is It

Recognize the Importance of Occupational Health and Safety Procedure

The field of occupational health and safety (OHS) has become a topic of increasing concern over the last 30 years. The establishment of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1970 reflected that safety in the workplace is a basic expectation for all employees. Initially addressing concerns in industry and hazards associated with mechanical injury, the field of occupational health and safety has expanded to almost every workplace environment, from the office to the airplane, as well as to the laboratory and the vivarium.

OSH in the Philippines is regulated by a wide range of laws. The main OSH provisions shall be found particularly in the Philippine Labor Code (mainly Book IV), the Occupational Safety and Health Standards (OSHS) 1978. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and other government agencies have issued hazard-specific guidelines, departmental orders and implementing rules on OSH matters.

“The objective of this issuance is to protect every workingman against the dangers of injury, sickness or death through safe and healthful working conditions, thereby assuring the conservation of valuable manpower resources and the prevention of loss or damage to lives and properties, consistent with national development goals and with the State’s commitment for the total development of every worker as a complete human being.”

OHS in the workplace is vital for the following reasons:

  • Employees are more productive.
  • A clean and healthy working environment reduces absenteeism.
  • It’s safer, cleaner and looks more professional.
  • Employees are happier.
  • There is a decrease in insurance claims caused by workplace accidents.
  • An OHS programmed will protect the organization’s employees. After all, they are the most valuable assets to the company.
  • The organization will be able to retain more customers.
  • Even though the initial costs for OHS training and implementation can be significant, the business can save a substantial amount of money in the long run, with less injury, vehicle or building damage claims, as well as fewer instances of employees not being able to report for work.

Occupational health and safety procedure is authority- independent and seeks the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social well-being of workers in all occupation; the prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their working condition; the protection of workers of their employment from risk resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adopted to physical and mental needs and the adoption of work to humans.

That goal is achieved through workplace policies, programs and procedure, as well as an external legislative and regulatory frame work.

An occupational health and safety management system should follow the following elements:

  1. Management Commitment – management can show their commitment to OHS by:
    • establishing an OHS policy
    • identifying its objectives
  2. Planning – includes setting standards for management and employees.
  3. Consultation – consult and work with your employees. It is important that the employees have a basic understanding of what could be considered high-risk activities in a food establishment. There should be two ways communication where employers listen to and cooperate with employees then management can ensure OHS decision are based on the best and most up-to-dated information.
  4. Training – training on health and safety is important to the new and inexperienced workers, including those that have been away from the workforce for some time.
  5. Risk Management – involves the identifying hazards present, evaluating the risks, and taking into the account the existing precautions.
Hazard

Hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.

Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects to individuals as health effects or to organizations as property or equipment losses.

Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources. General examples include any substance, material, process, practice, etc. that has the ability to cause harm or adverse health effect to a person under certain conditions.

Types of Hazards
  1. Physical Hazard– brought by unhealthy working conditions, poor lighting, poor ventilation, insufficient facilities, inefficient or faulty equipment or machine and improper work practices such as wrong use of knives.


    Slip, Trips and Falls are example of Physical Hazard
    Slips – loss of balance caused by too little friction between a person’s foot and a walking surface.
    Trips – hit an object, lose your balance and fall
    Falls – when you lose your balance & drop to the floor


  2. Biological Hazard – brought by workers infected with diseases or illnesses, unhygienic personal practices that can transmit bacteria, parasite, fungi to other workers and food, and equipment being handled.


  3. Ergonomic Hazard – brought by poor posture when working long period of standing, bending, pushing, lifting, and carrying that can cause body stress, muscles pains and soreness, back injury, numbness of hands, feet and other body parts.


  4. Psychological Hazard – brought by too much stress from work may cause mental and emotional strains and anxieties, depression- losing focus on one’s work and others.


  5. Chemical Hazard – brought by use of chemicals such as disinfectant for cleaning equipment and flooring, fumes and smokes from cooking.


To make hazards less dangerous, consider the following options:

  1. Elimination


    You can simply dispose things that cannot be repaired and ingredients that are waste or expired following the proper waste disposal (biodegradable, non-biodegradable, residual, recyclable and toxic). This will eliminate hazard in the kitchen.


  2. Substitution


    Though elimination is considered the best way of preventing or fixing hazards, it is not always possible. This is why you should think of a substitute for hazardous tools or equipment inside your kitchen. Better substitute safer and easy to operate tools and equipment in the kitchen.


  3. Safeguard


    Safeguard can be added by modifying tools and/or equipment. It usually prevents the workers from being harmed by mechanical hazard. You can also put signage and symbols in your kitchen for safety purposes.


  4. Isolation


    Isolation is done by marking the hazardous area and separating the worker from hazard. You can provide a separate room for those hazardous chemicals and equipment.


  5. Using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Clothing


    The use of simple PPE like gloves and apron could be a great help while in the kitchen. Using gloves when holding hot tools like pan, can prevent your skin from being burned. Using apron moreover, can prevent you from spills when pouring liquid ingredients from one bowl to another.


  6. Instructing Workers about the Safest Way of Doing Something


    People in the kitchen or in bakeshop must be well informed and instructed of the safest work procedures. Baking and cooking instruction must be followed at all times by everyone in the workplace.


Risk

Risk is the probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss.

Factors that influence the degree of risk include:

  • how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition,
  • how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and
  • how severe are the effects under the conditions of exposure.
Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is the process where you:

  • identify hazards,
  • analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard, and
  • determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard.
Preventing the Hazard

Four Step System (SAFE)

Spot the Hazard Assess the Risk Fix the Problem Evaluate the Result

Health, Safety and Security Procedures in the Kitchen

Tips to remember while working in the kitchen:

  • Use dry pot holders when holding hot items.
  • Don’t leave the pot holder near the fire.
  • Always lift the lids of the saucepans away from you so that the steam won’t burn you.
  • Keep the fire extinguisher near the kitchen and learn how to use it.
  • Turn off the stove or gas range when you have finished cooking.
  • Wipe spills immediately.
  • Remove toys, small items or anything that you may trip on the floor.
  • Keep pets out of kitchen, especially while cooking.
  • Keep children in safe distance when they are with you in the kitchen to avoid accidents.
  • Always pick up the knife with its handle.
  • Slice, cut, or chop foods in a chopping board.
  • Cut the food with the blade of the kitchen down and slant away from you.
  • Don’t put your finger near the moving parts of electric mixer or food blender.
  • Be careful when discarding a broken glass. Don’t pick up small pieces with your bare hands.
