Typical hazards & measures
Prolonged standing
— Provide anti-fatigue mats and encourage workers to take scheduled breaks. Rotate tasks to reduce the duration of standing and conduct ergonomic assessments to optimize workstation design.
Burns from hot materials
— Ensure the use of heat-resistant gloves and clothing. Implement safe handling procedures for hot materials and provide training on first aid for burn injuries.
Eye injuries from arc radiation
— Require welders to wear appropriate welding helmets with correct shade filters. Provide safety goggles for nearby workers and install welding curtains to protect others in the vicinity.
Confined space hazards
— Implement confined space entry procedures, including atmospheric testing, ventilation, and use of rescue equipment. Train workers on the specific hazards and emergency protocols associated with confined spaces.
Radiation burns
— Ensure welders wear flame-resistant clothing that covers all exposed skin. Use welding curtains to protect nearby workers and enforce the use of PPE at all times during welding operations.
