Worksite Hazard

Unit III Project

Worksite Hazard Assessment

OSHA’s Personal Protective Equipment Standard requires employers to assess the workplace to determine if hazards are present that necessitate the use of PPE. Based on the assessment, appropriate PPE must be selected and provided to affected employees.

Using Subpart I Appendix B as a guide, develop a hazard assessment for your workplace or a workplace you are familiar with. If you work in an office or other non-hazardous location, develop an assessment for an imagined industrial shop, such as woodworking or metalworking. Use the other sections of Subpart I to help determine the appropriate PPE for each hazard. You can also use online safety equipment catalogs to find examples of PPE that meets the OSHA requirements.

Your submission must be a minimum of two pages, but no longer than four. References and citations in APA format should be provided to support the hazard determinations and PPE selection.

 Subpart I Appendix B is located at the following link:

Unit VI Project

HAZCOM Training Presentation

The 2012 revision to the Hazard Communication Standard requires that employers train workers on the GHS-compliant hazard warning labels and safety data sheets. (See 1910.1200(h)(3)(iv). Using Appendices C and D of the currentstandard as a resource, develop a 7-10 slide PowerPoint presentation that can be used to train the employees at your workplace or a workplace you are familiar with. Include examples of the hazardous materials found in your selected workplace in the presentation.

When creating your presentation, be sure your explanations and discussion are in plain language and at a level suitable for your target workforce–do not simply quote the standard. Additional resources can be found at OSHA’s Hazard Communication Page: http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/index.html
