INTRODUCTION
1.1 Definition of accident
An accident, also known as an unintentional
act, is an undesirable, incidental, and an unplanned event that could have
been prevented had circumstances leading
up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence.
Most scientists who study unintentional injury avoid using the term
"accident" and focus on factors that increase risk of severe injury
and that reduce injury incidence and severity.
1 1.2 Types of accident
Physical
and non-physical
Physical examples of
accidents include unintended motor vehicle collisions or falls, being injured
by touching something sharp, hot, dropping a plate, accidentally kicking the
leg of a chair while walking, unintentionally biting one's tongue while eating,
accidentally tipping over a glass of water, contacting electricity or ingesting
poison. Non-physical examples are unintentionally revealing a secret or
otherwise saying something incorrectly, accidental deletion of data, forgetting
an appointment etc.
Accidents
By activity
Accidents during the
execution of work or arising out of it are called work accidents.
According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 337 million
accidents happen on the job each year, resulting, together with occupational
diseases, in more than 2.3 million deaths annually.
In contrast, leisure-related
accidents are mainly sports injuries.

3.0 Conclusion
As a
conclusion, we need to pay attention to our working environment and take any
safety precautions in order to make us safe. It is very important to wearing or
using any Personal Protective equipment. Make sure we follow the SOP and any
written safety signage.
4.0 Recommendation
( on how to reduce/ prevent an accident)
4.1 The
importance of PPE
Safety is a major issue for day laborers and skilled laborers. Each
year, accidents happen frequently in the construction industry and often times
it is due to the absence of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or failure to
wear the provided PPE. PPE is equipment that will protect workers against
health or safety risks on the job. The purpose is to reduce employee exposure
to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or
effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. These hazard risks can be
anything from wet floors to falling debris and everything in between. PPE
includes items such as protective helmets, eye protection, high-visibility
clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses and, sometimes, respiratory
protective equipment. Let’s explore some PPE commonly used on construction sites
and their benefits:
1.
Head Protection
Hard hats are common
on construction sites. Just passing by a site, you can usually identify workers
by their hard hats. They are designed to protect against flying or falling
objects that would otherwise impact or penetrate the worker. Some hard hats are
equipped with accessories such as face shields and earmuffs. Hard hats should
be well-fitted; those that are too large or too small are inappropriate for
use.
2.
Eye and Face
Protection
Eye and face
protection are equally as important as head protection. Safety goggles,
spectacles and full face shields can give you the protection needed for the
eyes and face. Metal work, wood-work, hot-work and air-tool operations all
require this type of protection. General laborers can also benefit from safety
goggles since there is usually debris on construction sites.
3.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection
is vital on sites where toxic substances are present. Sometimes what you can’t
see can hurt you. Respiratory protections like respirators are
designed to protect you from dust, fumes, paint spray, pesticides and other
dangerous substances that could cause permanent impairment. Respiratory
protection should be used in environments with air contaminants. In work
environments, respirators are relied upon when adequate ventilation is
unavailable or other engineering control systems are not feasible or
inadequate.
4.
Hand & Skin
protection
Construction jobs
typically require the use of hands. Each year, around 150,000 hand injuries are
reported. Occupational skin diseases such as contact dermatitis, skin
cancers, and other skin injuries and infections are the second most common type
of occupational disease and can be very costly. Because a lot of work is done
with the hands, gloves are an essential item in providing skin
protection. Some examples of gloves commonly used as PPE include rubber
gloves, cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw gloves and heat-resistant
gloves. Using gloves helps to avoid hazards usually involved when working
with chemicals, glass, sheet metal, electricity, hot materials or slippery
objects.
5.
Hearing protection
Industrial noise is
often discounted as an occupational hazard since it isn’t visible to the eye.
However, 22 million workers in the United States are exposed to potentially
harmful noise levels annually. According to the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, about 82% of occupational hearing loss cases
occurred to workers in the manufacturing sector. The Occupational Safety
and Health Administration establishes occupational noise exposure
standards. NIOSH recommends that worker exposures to noise be reduced to a
level equivalent to 85 dba for eight hours to reduce
occupational noise-induced hearing loss. Earplugs and earmuffs are common
hearing protection tools. It is important to note that earmuffs are more
effective in reducing high-frequency noise while earplugs are more effective
for reducing low-frequency noise.
