IV. DISCUSSION
Mechanical Hazard
When operation without PPE is a dangerous, such as
corners, edges, points, cutting, surfaces with high surface
roughness, controlled moving unprotected parts.
safety measures
Mechanical operation we must wear PPE for safety testing is a
specific type of safety evaluation that involves the assessment of
the mechanical aspects of a product, and the conditions under
which a mechanical failure could pose a potential safety risk to
users and avoid vital accident.
Electrical hazard
hazard
if you can have a work like for, electrical symbol or
wirings of electricity without equipment for using it, or
without PPE. its possible causes of necessary
accident.
Safety risk
You can have operation we must wear PPE or
others equipment that we need. And also should
to know the set of rules on how to properly use the
electrical to avoid accidents.
Thermal hazard
hazard
if you using ah thermal hazard the possible arm
heating because operating without PPE or
gloves.
Safety measure
the operator must wear formal clothes and
gloves, eye protection, it’s a safety do a work and
avoid accident.
