BOSH Day 2 Recap

It means sampling and analysis carried out in respect of the atmospheric working environment and other fundamental elements of working environment for the purpose of determining actual conditions therein.

• Threshold Limit Values (TLV)

• OccupationalSafety&HealthAdministration(OSHA)

• Work Environment Measurement (WEM)

• OccupationalSafetyandHealthStandards(OSHS)

According to Rule 1077 of OSHS, the following are Employer’s Responsibility except:

• Conduct WEM internally (by random personnel) or hire accredited providers

• Maintain a safe and healthy working environment.

• Conduct WEM in indoor or hazardous workplaces.

• Perform WEM at least annually or as needed.

Which of the following are not included in the Purpose of Work Environment Measurement (WEM)?

• Determine harmful environmental agents.

• Monitor and predict workplace hazards.

• Assess new facilities, materials, and processes.

• Maintain unfavorable work conditions.

Which of the following is the Anemometer, which measure the air movement?

• 
• 
• 
• 

The systematic process or method for Risk assessment.

• Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm.

• Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.

• Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated.

• All of the above

When to Conduct Risk Assessment?

• When changes are made to existing operations.

• Before new processes or activities are introduced.

• When hazards are identified.

• Before accidents, or incidents

Which of the following are Steps in Risk Assessment?
