5. Please take note that the dressing code has been changed since last semester. All
students must wear the white lab coats in the lab. The Green jackets are to be
worn by students during official functions or during student activities/in class.

4. For all first semester one students ( be it Matriculation/pelajar penerapan

Diploma), the Safety Course is scheduled on Saturday 22nd September 2012.

3. For ex diploma students who are new to the faculty, the Safety Committee has
arranged the Safety Course on Wednesday 12th September 2012, 9.00 a.m. till
4.30 p.m. in DKH depending on the number of students registered. All students
mentioned in para 2 should reattend the course.

2. Students who fail the course last semester shall not be allowed to enter the lab
to start the experiments. Please check the names of the students who fail their
tests last semester.
Kindly consult Pn Nadia Kamaruddin or Pn Nur Syamila.

All things are poisons

and nothing is without
poisons; only the dose
makes a thing a

There are no safe chemicals, only

safe ways of handling them.

Four Hazard Factors

Workplace any place where a job is performed e.g offices,

labs, construction site, hospital etc.

Risk a measure of human injury, environmental damage, or

economic loss (likelihood x severity of the loss or injury)

Hazards a chemical or physical condition that has the

potential to cause damage to people, property, or
environment

Health - the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit;

especially freedom from physical disease or pain

Safety the prevention of accidents through the use of

appropriate technologies

Definitions

 To provide the means whereby the associated occupational

safety and health legislation may be progressively replaced by
a system of regulations and approved industry codes of
practice to maintain or improved the S&H standards

which is adapted to their physiological and psychological
needs;

To protect persons at a place of work other than persons at

work against risks to safety and health arising out of the
activities of persons at work;

PPE must be provided for you.

You must wear the appropriate PPE.
PPE must be stored in a reliable condition safely
after use.

OHSA Requirements

The faculty must protect students from workplace

hazards and dangerous work procedures that can cause
injury, illness and fatalities.
Any defect in the PPE , students should inform the
management, supervisor etc.
The management must:
Use all feasible engineering and work practice
controls to eliminate and reduce hazards
Then use appropriate PPE if these controls do not
eliminate hazards
Remember: PPE is the last control

Protecting Employees from

During an evacuation order:

Immediately evacuate the building and proceed to the assembly
point. Doing so will help emergency personnel determine if an
occupant rescue is necessary.
Use the buddy system and look out for someone else. Help each
other get out of the building. Be aware of occupants that need
help.
Follow the evacuation procedures, and direction provided by
emergency personnel, building/safety coordinators.

Prior to an emergency:
Review the emergency information posted in each
