Typical hazards & measures

  • Fire risks from flammable materials — Store flammable materials in fire-resistant cabinets and ensure good ventilation during use. Prohibit open flames or smoking in work areas. Keep fire extinguishers and emergency plans readily accessible. Train workers on fire safety protocols.
  • Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) — Train workers on ergonomically safe practices and proper tool use. Rotate tasks to reduce repetitive motions. Provide adjustable equipment and ensure adequate breaks to prevent strain. Monitor workers for early signs of RSI.
  • Eye injuries from splashes — Require the use of safety goggles or face shields for tasks involving liquids. Train workers on safe handling and application of paints and solvents. Keep eyewash stations easily accessible and conduct drills on their use.
  • Noise exposure — Select quieter equipment where possible and schedule noisy tasks for limited periods. Provide workers with noise-reducing ear protection. Conduct regular noise monitoring and rotate staff to minimize prolonged exposure to high noise levels.
  • Vibration from tools — Use low-vibration tools and maintain them to ensure optimal performance. Limit daily exposure time to vibrating tools and provide anti-vibration gloves. Offer training on proper tool usage and monitor compliance with exposure limits.
