HISTORY
In 5th century BC, Hippocrates, a Greek doctor
initiated scientific foundation to make a link
between the adverse effects suffered by lead
workers and their exposure to metal.

Legal Provision
Regulation 9(1) of the OSH (Classification, Packaging
and Labeling) Regulations 1997
Requires supplier to prepare and provide CSDS for every
hazardous chemical supplied.
Supplier is defined as the party supplying the chemical to the
user which includes formulators, manufacturers, importers or
distributors.
Supplier also required to review CSDS regularly
The information required must be with the objective to protect
the safety and health of the worker, and not for use for any
reason.
HEALTH HAZARDS
Mandatory Information
There are 15 types information required
Chemical product itself and the company identification
Composition of the ingredients that clearly identifies the
hazardous chemical for the purpose of conducting a hazard
evaluation.
Hazard identification
First aid measures
Accidental release measures
Handling and storage
Exposure control and PPE

4.3.1 VIBRATION
DEFINITION
Vibration
Refer to movement of solids where the amplitude and frequency
produced may cause harmful to those exposed.
HEALTH HAZARDS
TYPES OF VIBRATION
HEALTH HAZARDS
HEALTH EFFECT
Whole body vibration (WBV)
Blurring eye
Nausea, vomiting, headache, back pain
Can cause lung and heart malfunction

HEALTH HAZARDS
Heat Stroke
- Occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body's
temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is
unable to cool down.
- Can cause death.
First Aid
Symptom
Hot, dry skin or profuse sweating
Hallucinations
Chills
Throbbing headache
High body temperature
Confusion/dizziness
Slurred speech

HEALTH HAZARDS
Heat Exhaustion
- Heat exhaustion is the body's response to an excessive loss of the water and
salt, usually through excessive sweating.
Symptom
First Aid
Heavy sweating
Extreme weakness or fatigue
Dizziness, confusion
Nausea
Clammy, moist skin
Pale or flushed complexion
Muscle cramps
Slightly elevated body temperature
Fast and shallow breathing
HEALTH HAZARDS
Heat Syncope
- is a fainting/dizziness, usually occurs with prolonged standing or sudden rising
from a sitting or lying position. Factors that may contribute to heat syncope
include dehydration and lack of acclimatization.
Symptom
Light-headedness
Dizziness
Fainting
First Aid
HEALTH HAZARDS
Heat Cramp
- Usually affect workers who sweat a lot during strenuous activity.
- Low salt levels in muscles causes painful cramps.
- May also be a symptom of heat exhaustion

Heat Rash
- Is a skin irritation caused by excessive sweating during hot, humid weather.

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
INTRODUCTION
Community and employee
awareness
Identification of biological agents
that cause Legionnaire disease,
Hepatitis B and HIV
Industries such as agriculture,
health care, biotechnology, research
and clinical laboratories
HEALTH HAZARDS
DEFINITIONS
Biological agent
Includes living micro-organisms such as viruses and bacteria
capable of exuding toxins, exposure to which may cause
disease or death in human, animals and plants.
Etiological agent
Agent that causes the actual contraction of disease.
Infection
Attacks of pathogenic organism on the body, which may or
may not cause contraction of disease.
HEALTH HAZARDS
Bio-safety
An area of science that serve to disconnect chains of infection.
Agent
Physical, radiological, chemical or biological entity that may cause certain
effects upon exposure.
Host
Host where the agent is present (example: human)
Environment
Includes living and non-living things (biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere
and hydrosphere)
