level to another.

• Work above ground level.

• Could fall from an edge, through an opening or

fragile surface.

• Could fall from ground level into an opening in a

floor or hole in the ground.
 NOISE

DEFINITIONS

The distinction between noise and sound is

often one of subjective opinion. A person,
listening to music at maximum volume might
be described as a pleasurable sound; to
others, it might be an unbearable noise. At
work, this distinction is irrelevant – both are
considered to be the same physical
phenomenon.
 NOISE

DECIBEL SCALE
For example, doubling the sound intensity results in an increase of just 3 dB. To put
it another way, adding 3dB to the decibel value doubles the sound intensity; taking
3dB off of the decibel value halves the sound intensity (another way of saying this is
that adding 3dB is equivalent to doubling
the number of noise sources). The sound intensity directly relates to the amount of
energy that is transmitted into the inner ear and the amount of
harm that is done to the inner ear.
 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

OBJECTIVE:

To provide information for the control of

electrical hazards so as to reduce incidences of
undesired accidents and unexpected fires due
to electrical causes.
 What are the HAZARDS of ELECTRICITY ?

• SHOCK

• BURNS

• ARC-BLAST

• EXPLOSIONS

• FIRES
 EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
The effects of electric shock on the human body
depend on several factors. The major factors are:
1. Current and Voltage
2. Resistance
3. Path through body
4. Duration of shock

The muscular structure of the body is also a factor in

that people having less musculature and more fat
typically show similar effects at lesser current values.
 ELECTRICAL MISTAKES

1. Defective appliances, equipment and tools.

2. Defective wiring installation.
3. Personal factor.
4. Lack of maintenance of equipment.
5. Using unapproved electrical equipment
appliances.
6. Failure to ground equipment.
7. No proper rated protective device,
8. Overloading of circuits.
FIRE SAFETY
What are the most common causes of fires?

• Deliberate acts by people

• Arson
• Children playing with
matches
• Misuse or neglect of
electrical equipment
• Portable heaters
• Careless disposal of smokers’
materials
• Careless use of cooking 48
