  2. 15 Chapter Physical and psychological health hazards and control

  3. Physical and psychological health hazards and control After reading this chapter you should be able to: • Identify work processes and practices that may give rise to musculoskeletal health problems (in particular work-related upper limb disorders – WRULD) and suggest practical control measures 2. Identify common welfare and work environment requirements in the workplace • 3. Describe the health effects associated with exposure to noise and suggest • appropriate control measures • Describe the health effects associated with exposure to vibration and • suggest appropriate control measures • Describe the principal health effects associated with heat, ionising and • non-ionising radiation and outline basic protection techniques • Explain the causes and effects of stress at work and suggest appropriate • control actions • Describe the situations that present a risk of violence towards employees • and suggest ways of minimizing such risk • Describe the effects on health and safety of alcohol and drugs and outline • control actions.

  11. Figure 15.8Better to control noise at source rather than wear ear protection

  12. Figure 9Passage of sound waves The ear with cochlea uncoiled and (b) summary of transmission

  13. Figure 15.10 and Table 15.6Typical ear protection zone signs and sound pressure levels

  14. Table 15.7Need for a noise assessment

  15. Figure 15.11Noise paths found in a workplace (a) The quiet area is subjected to reflected noise from a machine somewhere else in the building (b) The correct use of absorption in the roof will reduce the reflected noise reaching the quiet area (c) Segregation of the noisy operation will benefit the whole workplace
