Hazards reducing

The identification of hazards includes both a search for those hazards reduced or eliminated by inherently safer design, and a search for hazards controlled by instmmentation and administrative procedures.

Hazard-zone reduction can also be achieved by reducing the source emission strength using mass transfer, that is, chemical reaction and/or absorption. While dilution is effective in reducing near-field hazards, reducing source strength can be effective in reducing far-field hazards caused by toxic materials.

According to the Draft Standard, the employer should analyze the problem job to identify the ergonomic risk factors that result in MSD hazards. The employer should eliminate the MSD hazards, reduce them to the extent feasible, or materially reduce them using the incremental abatement process in the standard. If the MSD hazards only pose a risk to the employee with the covered MSD, the job hazard analysis and control can be limited to that individual employee s job. In such a case, the employer should ... 

However, both of these contradictory positions - safety as the dominant discourse with risks and hazards reduced to bureaucratic noise and risk as the dominant discourse itself disassociated from safety in practice - have arguably limited the inclusion and integration of hazard and risk within wider understandings of safety. Despite the prominence of hazards and risk within guidance documentation and (ideally) practice, they are not always so coherently partnered with, and positioned alongside, safety on sites. 

If a failure in the control loop, such as a sensor or actuator, could inhibit the production of a hazard-reducing command, there should be multiple ways to trigger such commands. On the other hand, multiple inputs should be required to trigger commands that can lead to hazardous states so they are not inadvertently issued. Any failure should inhibit the production of a hazard-increasing command. As an example of the latter condition, loss of the ability of the controller to receive input, such as failure of a sensor, that might inhibit the production of a hazardous output should prevent such an output from being issued.

Carefully move equipment carts through corridors to avoid collision and tripping hazards. Reduce speed near stairways, corridor intersections, elevators, and down ramps. Workers should puU a cart through swinging doors, rather than pushing it. Never leave carts, equipment, or supplies in a location that creates a hazard or provides access to cart contents. Personnel must immediately report any cart needing repair or wheel replacement. Workers must never push one cart while pulling another (Table 10.2). 

If the wastes are hazardous, reducing wastes will be safer.

Controlling the Source Keeping heat sources and hot surfaces away from occupied areas will reduce the chance of heat buildup or contact. For example, placing an oven in a separate area can reduce the heat added to a work area. Insulation applied to a hot surface or object will prevent air from becoming hot and people from coming into contact with the hot surfaces. Not only is the hazard reduced, but insulation conserves energy also.

The primary goal of safety initiatives, whether at the site or corporate level, is to reduce the amount of exposure that occurs in the workplace—referred to as the working interface. While not all exposure is equal in terms of the severity potential, all incidents result from exposure to hazards. Reducing that exposure is the primary mechanism of safety improvement. 

In some cases, administrative controls may be effective in reducing employee exposures to hazards. Reducing the length of work periods, for example, is an accepted way of decreasing the cumulative exposures of an individual to such agents as noi.se, heat and chemicals. It should be kept...
