3. Designers, manufacturers and suppliers of plant to places of work. They require designers, manufacturers, and suppliers to give employers the information they need to fulfil this duty.
-PERSONAL SAFETY APPAREL
Personal protective equipment (PPE) are including clothing, hard hat, goggles and, boots which are designed to protect the wearer's body from injury by blunt impacts, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and infection, for job-related health and safety purposes. The use of personal protective equipment is to reduce employee exposure to hazards while on duty.
A steel-toe boot (also known as a safety boot, steel-capped boot or safety shoe) is a durable boot that has a protective reinforcement in the toe which protects the foot from falling objects or compression.
Ear defenders protect the wearer from extreme noises. The head band and outer covering is usually made from a hard thermoplastic or metal.A hard hat is a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace environments, such as construction sites, to protect the head from injury by falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, bad weather and electric shock. Inside the helmet is a suspension that spreads the helmet's weight over the top of the head. It also provides a space of approximately 30 mm (1.2 inch) between the helmet's shell and the wearer's head so that if an object strikes the shell, the impact is less likely to be transmitted directly to the skull.
A respirator is a device that designed to protect the wearer from inhaling harmful dusts, fumes, vapors, and/or gases. Respirators come in a wide range of types and sizes used by the military, private industry, and the public. Respirators range from cheaper, single-use, disposable masks to reusable models with replaceable cartridges.
There are two main categories: the air-purifying respirator, which forces contaminated air through a filtering element, and the air-supplied respirator, in which an alternate supply of fresh air is delivered. Within each category, different techniques are employed to reduce or eliminate noxious airborne contents.
Heights
Always wearing PPE and fall aresst devices while on duty
Be aware what kind mishap may happen and concentrate on own job
Worker must eliminate any dangerous or risk equipment.
Put equipments on the right place
Use a aldder on the flat ground
Confined space
When it comes to working in confined spaces, the management must make provision to identify any hazards present, assess the risks posed by them and put procedures in place and take any necessary precautionary measures to protect the workforce. All of these considerations will usually be determined by the following
- What the work entails
- The environment in which it is carried out
- The materials and tools that are to be used
- The competency and suitability of those employed to carry out the work
- Emergency rescue or evacuation procedures
The Confined Spaces Regulations cover a broad range of industries and how the legislation might apply to a particular location which has been deemed to be a confined space. However, in brief, management firstly needs to check if the work that’s involved could be carried out without the need to enter the confined space. Obviously, that isn’t always possible so the next step is to develop and manage a safe system of working practice which all people who are entering the confined space must adhere to. Each and every worker’s life could be at stake so everybody must be fully instructed and trained to ensure each of them know what their responsibilities are, the tasks they need to carry out and how to carry them out safely in accordance with the legislation.
Underground
Employees exposed to public vehicular traffic shall be provided with, and must wear, warning vests or other suitable garments marked with or made of reflectorized or high visibility material. Employees are not allowed under loads handled by lifting or digging equipment. Employees must stand away from vehicles being loaded or unloaded to avoid being struck by spillage or falling materials. Operators may remain in the cabs of vehicles being loaded or unloaded when the vehicles are equipped to provide adequate protection for the operator during these operations.

Responsibilities of employer and employee to manage workplace hazards.
The strategy for dealing with these risks is to use the 5 point process
IDENTIFY Existing, new, or potential hazards.
ELIMINATE. Get rid of the hazard e.g. use flash proof lights.
ISOLATE. Confine the hazard to a certain area if elimination is not possible. E.g. Dangerous goods store.
MINIMISE. Keep the hazard to a minimum. E.g. good ventilation
MONITOR In a planed ongoing manner keep record of all of the above points.
