1/139


2/139

IntroductionThe overall objective of any safety program is to prevent accidents in work place. Focusing

this intent in mind, the safety topics that need to be infused into the minds of new employees were

carefully selected and briefly presented in this training hand out. As listed in the contents,appropriate safety guidelines are provided to ensure protection against the prevailing hazards in

work places.

Activities which have significant Hazards in work place include

Excavations

Hand and Portable power tools Hazardous chemicals

Electricity

Confined Space

Hot Work

Ladders and scaffolds

Work at height and so on ..

Further, brief information on the elements of safety management such as safety policy, Permit to

Work system, Incident reporting and investigation, safety committees, safety inspections and safety

KPI (Key Performance Indicators) are also explained.

Note: This handout is not exhaustive; the participants could gather more details through interaction

in the training sessions and further reference to United Mining Industries safety manual .

gyou first need to know a little bit about fire.

Essentially, fire extinguishers put out fire by taking awayone or more elements of the fire triangle.

Most fire extinguisherswill have a label tellingyou what kind of firethe extinguisher is for.
