# Enclosure and Isolation (cont.) ## Ventilation (cont.) Because products are exhausted to the outdoors, you should also check with your local environment ministry or municipality for any environmental air regulations or bylaws that may apply in your area. ## What are examples of administrative controls? Administrative controls involve developing procedures to ensure the work is conducted in a way that minimizes the hazard. Examples include developing or changing policies, implementing or improving training and education, and developing or enhancing work practices and procedures. Administrative controls are ranked lower than elimination, substitution, and engineering controls because these methods do not necessarily remove or reduce the hazard from the workplace. For example, administrative controls limit workers' exposures by scheduling shorter work times in contaminant areas or by implementing other "rules". These control measures have many limitations because the hazard itself is not actually removed or reduced. Administrative controls should be used in combination with other control measures where possible. Methods of administrative control include: - Using job-rotation schedules or a work-rest schedule that limits the amount of time an individual worker is exposed to a substance. - Implementing a preventative maintenance program to keep equipment in proper working order - Scheduling maintenance and other high-exposure operations for times when few workers are present (such as evenings and weekends). - Restricting access to a work area. - Restricting the task to only those competent or qualified to perform the work. - Using signs to warn workers of a hazard. More information about types of administrative controls is provided below: ## Work Practices Elements of safe work practices include: - Developing and implementing safe work procedures or standard operating procedures. - Training and education of employees about the operating procedures …

# Enclosure and Isolation (cont.) ## Good Housekeeping (cont.) Being prepared for emergencies means making sure that the necessary equipment and supplies are readily available and that employees know what to do when something unplanned happens such as a release, spill, fire, or injury. These procedures should be written and employees should have the opportunity to practice their emergency response skills regularly. Please see the OSH Answers document on emergency_planning for more information. ## Personal Hygiene Practices and Facilities Personal hygiene practices are another effective way to reduce the amount of a hazardous material absorbed, ingested, or inhaled by a worker. Examples of personal hygiene practices include: - Washing hands after handling material and before eating, drinking or smoking. - Avoiding touching lips, nose, and eyes with contaminated hands. - No smoking, drinking, chewing gum or eating in the work areas - these activities should be permitted only in a "clean" area. - Not storing hazardous products in the same refrigerator as food items. Please see the OSH Answers documents on Workplace Housekeeping, Hand Washing: Reducing the Risk of Common Infections and Good Hygiene Practices - Reducing the Spread of Infections and Viruses for more information. ## What should I know about personal protective equipment (PPE) as a hazard control method? Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to anything workers wear to help protect them from workplace hazards. The use of PPE as the main method to control exposures should be limited to situations where elimination, substitution, engineering, or administrative controls are not practicable, or when: - Additional protection is required because other control methods are not sufficient to reduce the hazard - The hazard is a result of a temporary or emergency condition PPE limits exposure to the harmful effects of a hazard but only if the PPE is worn and used correctly. Examples of PPE inclu…

# How do I "identify potential hazards"? Once the basic steps have been recorded, actual and potential hazards must be identified at each step. Based on observations of the job, knowledge of incident and injury causes, and personal experience, list the things that could be unsafe at each step. A second observation of the job being performed may be needed. Since the basic steps have already been recorded, more attention can now be focused on each hazard. At this stage, no attempt is made to solve any problems or correct any hazards which may have been detected. To help identify potential hazards, the job analyst may use questions such as these (this is not a complete list): - Can any body part get caught in or between objects? - Do tools, machines, or equipment present any hazards? - Can the worker make harmful contact with moving objects? - Can the worker slip, trip, or fall? - Can the worker suffer strain from lifting, pushing, or pulling? - Is the worker exposed to extreme heat or cold? - Is excessive noise or vibration a problem? - Is there a danger from falling objects? - Is lighting a problem? - Can weather conditions affect safety? - Is harmful radiation a possibility? - Can contact be made with hot, toxic, or caustic products? - Are there dusts, fumes, mists, or vapours in the air? Potential hazards are listed in the middle column of the worksheet, numbered to match the corresponding job step. For example: Job Safety Analysis CCOHS

# Process Safety Management (cont.) ## What is process safety? (cont.) Developing a comprehensive process safety management system (or process safety plan) for your organization requires forming a cross-functional team of managers, supervisors, and workers who are knowledgeable about the operating systems and work activities. External expertise from engineers and professionals may also be required to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation, environmental legislation, and applicable codes. Collaborating and seeking input from other organizations with similar processes is also recommended to make sure all the hazards and risks have been identified and adequate controls are in place. ## How is process safety analyzed? The complexity of a process safety analysis will depend on the type of process. The analysis includes identifying potential hazards and assessing the risks. Multiple methods, frameworks and terminology are used for analyzing and strengthening process safety. Examples include: - Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) - Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) - Hazard and Operability Study (HAZAOP) - Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) - Customized Checklists - CSA Standard Z767:17 Process Safety Management When there are changes made to a process, or there are other changes that can impact a process (e.g., climate change), the hazards and risks need to be identified and assessed again, and the control measures revalidated, with the required modifications to the controls being made if needed. ## Identifying potential hazards It is important to identify. the potential sources of harm or failure associated with a process throughout its lifecycle. These include chemical, fire and explosion hazards and natural or climate-related hazards, such as wildfires, flooding, severe winds, high temperatures, and storms. It is also important to consider worst-case situations and scenarios (e.g., extreme weather events) to identify all potential hazards. ## Asses…
