Describe a workplace you are familiar with.
For each type of hazard, describe an example of the hazard presentin the workplace, and what controls are used to mitigate the dangerassociated with it. There should be an example of each type ofcontrol (Engineering, Administrative, and PPE) for each hazard.
Example: Grocery Distribution Center
Temperature Hazard: -25° Freezer
Engineering Control: The freezer is walled off from the rest of theperishable goods area
Admin Control: Personnel cannot work in the freezer more than 45minutes at a time
PPE: Freezer suits, masks, gloves
Pressure Hazard: Ammonia lines for refrigeration
Engineering Control: Lines mostly run across the roof to keep themaway from employees
Admin Control: Only authorized personnel are allowed in ammoniaservice areas
PPE: Enclosed eye protection, gloves, mask required when working onammonia lines
Electrical Hazard: Forklift battery
Engineering Control: Battery is enclosed inside forklifts, exceptwhen being operated on by approved maintenance personnel
Admin Control: LOTO Program
PPE: Rubber gloves required when working on electricalcomponents
Fire Hazard: Flammable products (such as lighter fluid, roachspray, etc)
Engineering Control: Aerosol room constructed inside the warehouseto contain all flammable products; in the event of a fire in theaerosol room, bay doors drop to enclose the fire.
Admin Control: All employees receive fire extinguisher and fireescape training.
PPE: Fire response team has fire suits, SCBA gear.
Toxic Material Hazard: Battery acid (from industrial truckbatteries)
Engineering Control: Battery changing area located at far rear ofshop, beyond grocery picking area and away from non-maintenanceemployees.
Admin Control: All employees perform pre-shift inspection ofbattery caps before boarding truck (if truck allows access tobattery caps by non-maintenance personnel.)
PPE: Gloves, mask, goggles required for maintenance personnel whenworking on battery
