Process, Developing Recognition and Celebration Plans, Planning Training and Kickoff
Meetings, Conducting Management Review, Brainstorm Actions Likely to Impact the

Compliance
is on paper
Terminologies:
Workers all persons gainfully employed, including owners, managers, other paid
employees, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers but excluding private
household workers.
Non-workers children, persons keeping house full time, retirees, the unemployed, and
other persons not in the labor force.
Non-work injuries injuries that are not on-the-job (occupational) injuries. Such
injuries may involve workers or non-workers.
Off-the-job injury an unintentional non-work-related injury to individuals employed on a
full-time or part-time basis. This category excludes children, persons keeping house full
time, retirees, the unemployed, and other persons not in the labor force.
On the job (occupational) injury an unintentional injury resulting from a work-related
accident or from a single instantaneous exposure in the work environment.

Societal costs total cost of unintentional injury in a certain place or society, including
wage and productivity losses, medical expenses, administrative expenses, motorvehicle damage, employer costs, and fire losses. These costs may be borne by the
injured worker and his/her family, the workers employer, insurance companies, or
government (taxpayers).

2. Falls
Falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional death in homes and
communities, resulting in more than 25,000 fatalities in 2009. The risk of falling, and fallrelated problems, rises with age and is a serious issue in homes and communities.
Common Locations for Falls:
Doorways
Ramps
Cluttered hallways
Areas with heavy traffic
Uneven surfaces
Areas prone to wetness or spills
Unguarded heights
Unstable work surfaces
Ladders
Stairs

3. Poisoning
Poisoning is responsible for more than half of all home-related unintentional
injury deaths and includes deaths from drugs, medicines, other sold and liquid
substances and gases and vapors. Young children are especially at risk for poisoning
related eating or swallowing over-the-counter and prescription medicines found in the
home.
Risk Factors of Poisoning:
Accessibility of substances
Overdose or improper use of medications
Taking with alcohol
Use of illegal drugs
4. Burns
The most common causes of burns are from scalds (steam, hot bath water, hot
drinks and foods), fire, chemicals, electricity and overexposure to the sun. Some burns
may be more serious than others, but many are treatable.
Risk Factors of Burn:
5. Choking
Choking and suffocation is the third leading cause of home and community
death. Foods are responsible for most choking incidents. But for children, objects such
as small toys, coins, nuts or marbles can get caught in their throats. Choking can cause
a simple coughing fit or something more serious like a complete block in the airway,
which can lead to death.
Risk Factors of Choking:
Alcohol use
Dentures
Problems chewing/swallowing small parts, food pieces

6. Fire
Although deaths and injuries from residential fires have decreased in the past
several years, deaths from fires and burns are still the third leading cause of fatal home
injuries . Seventy percent of these deaths are from inhaling smoke. Two-thirds of deaths
from home fires occurred in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
Fires are more likely to happen in certain areas or by certain equipment in your
house. Be extra careful while you're cooking, smoking, around candles, furnaces,
electrical cords and fireplaces, and with children, toddlers and babies nearby.
Risk Factors of Fire:
7. Sports
Sports and exercise are good for you but often result in unintentional injury from
accidents, poor training practices and improper gear. Sports-related traumatic brain
injuries also have been on the rise and can range from mild (a brief change in mental
status or consciousness) or severe (an extended period of unconsciousness or
amnesia after the injury).
Risk Factors of Sports:
8. Unintentional Overdoses
Unintentional Overdoses include deaths from prescription narcotics, illegal drugs
and alcohol. Recently, emergency room visits for non-medical use of prescription and
over-the-counter drugs have caught up with those for illegal drugs, each accounting for
1 million emergency room visits in 2008.

9. Road and Highway Venues
Every year nearly 36,000 people are killed and more than 3.5 million people are
injured in motor vehicle crashes, making it the leading cause of unintentional injuries
and death for people between the ages of 1 and 33. There are many different issues
affecting families traveling on the road and simple steps to reduce your likelihood of
getting into a motor vehicle crash.
Other Issues Related to Driving:
Distracted driving
Teen driving
Safety belts
Child passenger
Safety children in & around vehicles
Impaired driving
Aggressive driving
Mature driving
Motor-Vehicle Deaths:

Install lighting that will come on (motion sensor) if someone is outside your
house.
Your car doors should ALWAYS be LOCKED, even in your own garage. Make it
automatic to lock all your doors.
After dark you NEVER park where it's dark. If you go there when it's daylight, you
never park where it WILL BE dark when you come out.
If the only available spaces are dark, you sit in your locked car until one opens up
in a lighted spot or go to a different place.
Even if your car is locked, you should always look underneath it from a safe
distance. From 20-feet you can see under your car to the other side without
crouching. NOTICE: LOOK INSIDE before you get into your car. Do this even in
the daytime.
If you see ANYTHING wrong, like shoes on the other side of the car but no head
above the roofline, or a lumpy blanket on the back floor, you act like you've
forgotten something and return to the building to call the police.

Principles
Health - care waste management policies or plans should include provision for
the continuous monitoring of workers health and safety to ensure that correct handling,
treatment, storage, and disposal procedures are being followed: proper training of
workers; provision of equipment and clothing for personal protection; establishment of
an effective occupational health programme that includes immunization, post-exposure
prophylactic treatment medical surveillance.
Workers protection
The production, segregation, transportation, treatment, and disposal of healthcare waste involve the handling of potentially hazardous material. Protection against
personal injury is therefore essential for all workers who are at risk. A comprehensive
risk assessment of all activities involved in health-care waste management, carried out
during preparation of the waste management plan, will allow the identification of
necessary protection measures. These measures should be designed to prevent
exposure to hazardous materials or other risks, or at least to keep exposure within safe
limits. Once the assessment is completed, personnel should receive suitable training.
Protective Clothing
The type of protective clothing used will depend to an extent upon the risk
associated with the health-care waste, but the following should be made available to all
personnel who collect or handle health-care waste:
Health and safety practices for health-care personnel and waste workers
Helmets, with or without visors - depending on the operation.
Face masks -depending on operation.
Eye protectors (safety goggles) -depending on operation
Overalls (coveralls) obligatory
Industrial aprons obligatory
Leg protectors and/or industrial boots obligatory
Disposable gloves (medical staff) or heavy-duty gloves (waste workers )
Personal hygiene
Basic personal hygiene is important for reducing the risks from handling healthcare waste, and convenient washing facilities (with warm water and soap) should
be available for personnel involved in the task. This is of particular importance at
storage and incineration facilities.
