Further explanation
In the field of work, one important factor in supporting work productivity is the comfort and health of workers and their environment.
Conducive working conditions are supported by occupational safety and health systems.
This system is generally useful as a guide for workers in the work environment to know, identify, recognize hazards, risks, that might arise.
Introduction of earlier hazards to avoid workers from workplace accidents.
This safety and health support tool can be in the form of procedures / instructions to do first aid, dealing with emergencies, evacuation (yourself and victim), recognition of danger signs in high-risk places
The use of personal protective equipment such as helmets, masks, gloves, safety shoes must be used especially in the field / outdoor work
When we know that there is a potential danger that arises / occurs, then a fast and appropriate step is needed so that potential hazards can be overcome.
Occupational accidents such as falls can be caused by various factors including:
- work floors that are not clean, slippery because there is oil, oil, chemical spills, etc., or floors with different heights
- there is material on the work floor that is not properly placed or installed so that it blocks the road such as wire or rope
-the use of shoes / footwear that does not meet the standard work area (easy to slip) so as to cause slip / fall
Let see the answer choices :
A.
Avoid working in high areas
We cannot avoid working at heights as long as safety procedures have been carried out. Even though we work under / not high areas, still without safety procedures, work accidents can occur
Working in high areas
can be prevented by :
- adequate personal protective equipment such as full-body harness
- Scaffolding or stairs used in good condition
- a sign in the area when we do work in a high area
B.
Wear high-visibility clothing
The use of high-visibility clothing is usually for workers who are in areas where there is a considerable amount of vehicle traffic intensity, making it easier for the operator to see
, so it can be avoided being struck by the vehicles operating near them.
C. Obtain adequate training
Internal or external training is needed to provide knowledge to workers, especially in their areas of expertise. A standard certificate of training results will be proof that workers are competent to do their jobs
D. Online work on flat surfaces
Working at any height, as long as it meets safety procedures, it is permissible, because risks such as falls have been anticipated
