Working at height
Eliminating risks when working on roofs
● Important: - No work should be carried out on a roof – except on those
fitted with permanent provisions to prevent falls [e.g. guard rails around
silo tops]. Until a permit to work has been issued.

followed and detail the prevention measures to be taken.

Basic methods of control of fire
Cooling- use of water or cooling media
Blanketing- cutting of supply of oxygen
Starving- cutting of supply of fuel
Electrical safety
62
Types of electrical hazards
Electrical burn
Electrical shock
Electric fires explosion
Injuries caused due to electrical accidents such as hits falls striking against etc.
Protection from electrical injuries and prevention of electrical accidents:
● low voltage supply for confined space work
● isolation transformers where low voltage is not possible
● double insulation tools applicable for working at height
● installation of correct protective relays
● installation of flame proof equipment
● protection against lighting
● protection against static electricity
● use of national codes rules and regulation
● testing and inspection procedures
● marking and warnings
● training and education
● first aid fire fighting system
● proper earthing
Noise induced hearing loss
Three classes in occupational noise exposure may be grouped
1. continuous (machines)
2. Intermittent (cyclic)
3. Impact (blasting)

The degree of hearing damage can be determined by audiometer which
measures a persons hearing sensitivity.
Thus sound measurement are a vital part of hearing conservation program’s.
