This book is a guidebook for the health and safety of workers and
will help to prevent workplace accidents. It covers five sections
of work environments with dangerous hazards and high health risk.
Every chapter has been expanded to include knowledge and skills to
promote and maintain safety and health in a work environment, and
these chapters analyse the duties of employers and employees. Risk
factors in relation to safety in specific workplaces and issues
concerning contamination prevention and control are investigated,
and hazards and risks when workers are using equipment or handling
hazardous materials and waste are examined. This book includes
multiple points of interest for businesses and industries with
potentially harmful work environments: Welding works Municipalitys
waste collection Working in modern workshops Working on sea vessels
Working on offshore wind farms Hazards in welding environments are
analyzed and steps to minimizing health and safety risks in welding
operations are put forward. Concerning municipality waste
collection, this book gives an overview of waste, waste management
processes, and research concerning health hazards, illnesses and
injuries. As machine tools pose multiple hazards, this book studies
requirements for a safe workshop, along with the equipment
requirements and their possible hazards, inspection and service
procedures. Accidents at sea are still a common occurrence, but
significant progress has been made in recent decades and all
involved stakeholders enact accident avoidance and mitigation
measures in accordance with current norms and legislation. This
additional effort was made to present the duties and
responsibilities from seafarers up to ship owner and the best
practices proposed to conduct successful sea operations without
damage or loss. Finally, this guidance presents risks and hazards
on health, safety and environmental parameters that inform about
the procedures and standards that are applied in the offshore wind
industry.
