ELECTIVE 5 - Lecture

ACTIVITY QUIZ

Part 1: Hazard & PPE Analysis

Selected Environment

Environment A: Construction site where workers are exposed to falling


objects, high noise levels from heavy machinery, and work at heights of
approximately 2 meters.

Identified PPE and Justification

1.​ Hard Hat


○​ Hazard Protected Against: Falling objects and potential head
impact.
○​ Justification: Class E hard hats provide impact protection and
additional electrical insulation, which is important on construction
sites with temporary wiring and power tools.
2.​ Safety Boots (Steel Toe with Slip-Resistant Soles)
○​ Hazard Protected Against: Crushing injuries from falling materials
and slips on uneven or wet surfaces.
○​ Justification: Reinforced toe caps protect feet from heavy objects,
while slip-resistant soles reduce fall risk.
3.​ Hearing Protection (Earplugs or Earmuffs)
○​ Hazard Protected Against: Noise-induced hearing loss from heavy
machinery.
○​ Justification: Prolonged exposure to loud equipment can
permanently damage hearing without adequate protection.
4.​ Fall Protection Equipment (Full-Body Harness with Lanyard)
○​ Hazard Protected Against: Falls from height (2 meters).
○​ Justification: A full-body harness distributes fall forces safely and
prevents serious injury when working at height.
Part 2: Visual Communication Plan

Mandatory Sign (Blue Circle)

1.​ “Hard Hats Must Be Worn”


○​ Indicates compulsory head protection in active work zones.

Prohibition Sign (Red Circle with Slash)

2.​ “No Unauthorized Entry”


○​ Prevents untrained or unauthorized personnel from entering
hazardous areas.

Warning Sign (Yellow Triangle)

3.​ “Warning: Overhead Work”


○​ Alerts workers to the risk of falling objects from above.

Danger Sign (Red Background)

4.​ “Danger: Fall Hazard”


○​ Warns of immediate risk of serious injury or death from working at
height.

Strategic Placement

●​ At site entrances, scaffold access points, ladder bases, and


high-traffic walkways.
●​ Signs must be eye-level, well-lit, unobstructed, and visible before entering
the hazard zone.

Part 3: Maintenance & Training Protocol

Inspection (Workers must check for):

1.​ Cracks, dents, or brittleness in hard hats


2.​ Fraying or cuts in harness straps and lanyards
3.​ Loose or damaged buckles and fasteners
4.​ Worn or damaged boot soles and toe caps

Storage

●​ PPE must be stored in a dry, clean, and ventilated area, away from
sunlight, moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures to prevent
material degradation.

Training

●​ Workers must receive initial and refresher training on:


○​ Correct PPE selection
○​ Proper fitting and use
○​ Inspection procedures
○​ Limitations of PPE

Replacement Guidelines

●​ Hard hats: Replace every 5 years or immediately after impact


●​ Harnesses & lanyards: Replace if damaged or after a fall arrest
●​ Hearing protection: Replace disposable earplugs daily
●​ Safety boots: Replace when tread or toe protection is compromised
