Safety Workplace: The Prevention of Industrial Security Risk Factors

Abstract

“To earn a living”. The definition of work and our understanding of the workplace have changed in recent years due to the emergence of occupational health and is now a field of study under continuous improvement. Despite the fact that there is a huge amount of information, studies, and guidance about how to improve occupational security, the factors that must be considered in a workplace as real hazards to avoid in order to achieve a truly healthy workplace are always subject to debate. This research contributes to efforts in two important ways. The first goal assesses the information about security risk factors established and mentioned by official international institutions aimed at safety and security science by using the relationship and categorization between the identified risks during work activities performance. The second goal is to establish the necessary requirements to be fulfilled to ensure that a workplace will be considered “healthy and safe”. As a result, it is defined that the lack of ergonomics represents the most critical risk factor in order to reduce the incidence of work-related illness during the design and continuous improvement of a tailored workplace.

The Prevention of Industrial Manual Tool Accidents Considering Occupational Health and Safety

“…The industrial sector is improving its management systems and designing robust, fit, and healthy workspaces, focusing on selecting the best way to reduce accidents and optimize resources [1][2][3]. In the current tendency, hand tools are the principal equipment in a significant range of industrial jobs.…”

“…Integrating ergonomic principles into safety practices ensures that workers are trained to recognize and address ergonomic risks. This results in a comprehensive approach to occupational health and safety management that improves worker safety, comfort, and productivity [1,4].…”

“…Industrial tool risk assessments are concerned with identifying occupational diseases relevant to different aspects of the human body. They are continuously improving by using a range of methods, from survey evaluations to virtual reality simulations, to identify and reproduce the causes of accidents to minimize them [1,[9][10][11].…”

“…The US Bureau of Labor Statistics shares information about non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses, and it has shown that 100,000 accidents happen per year that are related to using hand tools, as indicated in Industrial tool risk assessments are concerned with identifying occupational diseases relevant to different aspects of the human body. They are continuously improving by using a range of methods, from survey evaluations to virtual reality simulations, to identify and reproduce the causes of accidents to minimize them [1,[9][10][11].…”

Non-Powered Hand Tool: Size Selection from an Anthropometric Ergonomic Point of View

“…Nowadays, as the globe becomes more industrialized, an increasing number of businesses are investing money and resources to improve production time while keeping human resources in mind. [1]- [3] The monitoring of the number of musculoskeletal problems in developed countries focuses on the method of observation in organizations that utilize hand tools to complete the exact task in each workstation [4], [5].…”
