It is the hope of the UN that the standardize system will: • Enhance the protection of human health and the environment by providing and internationally comprehensible system for hazard communication; • Provide a recognized framework for those counties without an existing system; • Reduce the need for testing and evaluation of chemicals; and • Facilitate international trade in chemicals whose hazards have been properly assessed and identified on an international basis (UN, 2011). 3. Chemical Accidents & Their Effects While chemicals have become a part of our daily lives the potential of harm is still there. Part of the complexity is understanding the nature, or make up, of the chemical(s). Depending on the chemical properties, chemicals and substances react differently in certain situations. Due to this, the mechanism of injury varies depending on the chemical and its physical state. The World Health Organization [WHO] list for mechanisms of injuries as fire, explosion, toxicity, and mental health: •
ISO22000:2005 have interactive communication including food chain, organizations and customers and suppliers. So, it can identify all conceivable, reasonably expected hazards and it can improve internal and external communication.
Training should be given in such a way that hazardous situations can be avoided. For example: Lengthening of working day, removal of taking screening breaks etc for meeting deadlines should be avoided. You must ensure that the significant hazards are identified, and that the actual working practices are addressed and if need be, changed so as to reduce any risk. This is both the responsibility of the employer and employee, for example it is the employees responsibility to familiarise themselves with the hazards and risks in their workplace.

Outcome 1 Understanding the different responsibilities relating to health and safety in social care settings.
Describe how current health and safety legislation, policies and procedures are implemented in the setting.
Further amending current laws for the purpose of long term environmental and health protection would be one step in the right direction to aid in industrial surprise management. Other possibilities include creating a national information database designed for quick dissemination of disaster response information. Incidents of industrial disasters should be required by law to be well documented and included in this national information database. Long term monitoring of the environment, public health, and economy should also be
Specific health problems associated with the workplace have contributed to the development of Particular health issues connected with the work environment have added to the advancement of the cutting edge safety and health development. These issues incorporate lung infections in diggers, mercury harming, and lung tumor attached to asbestos. Occupational and Environmental Health Professionals have an above normal extent of all day employments. For Occupational and Environmental Health Professionals working all day, normal week by week hours are 42.3 and profit are high - in the ninth decile. Unemployment for Health Professionals is underneath normal. H&S Professionals have an expansive extent of specialists amongst individuals in the 25-34 age section, making it an energetic and dynamic workplace. The unavoidable consequence of the expanded consideration given to safety and health is that bigger organizations are utilizing safety and health professionals and all organizations big or small are relegating these obligations to existing representatives.
1.2 Explain how health and safety is monitored and maintained and how people in the work setting are made aware of risks and hazards and encouraged to work safely.
Other possibilities include creating a national information database designed for quick dissemination of disaster response information. Case studies should be required to be well documented and included in such an information database. Long term monitoring of the environment and public health should be required when dealing with a chemical release.
Introduction: In this assignment, I have been asked to explain and review legislation also to assess on how the care workers would monitor the risk and what they would do. Also, to discuss the dilemmas encountered in relation to implementing systems and policies for health and safety.
Training of supervisors in how to communicate and demonstrate safety practices to employees (Gomez-Melia et al., 2011).
Just recently, All Weather Windows Commercial Ltd., has purchased a smaller company with a large glass manufacturing facility. This smaller company has approximately 150 employees that now work under our organization. Throughout this assignment, I will focus on basic safety initiatives to implement into the new facility. The reason I chose to focus on implementing basic safety initiatives, is based on the fact, this new facility is populated with many plant workers and has to now adopt my organization safety program.
Answer – If there is ever any doubt that health and safety/risk management procedures and practices are not being adhered to, then immediate action is required. Within my workplace we have a responsible individual who ensures that risk assessments
Occupational health and safety (OHS) in the workplace requires an effective systematic approach with strategies to control and monitor OHS risks and which is consistent with relevant OHS legislative requirements.
Health and Safety Regulations aim to improve safety in workplaces, making employers and employees equally responsible for ensuring that they protect themselves and others from accident and injury. The regulations refer to such things as clean kitchens, safety guards on machinery etc., If an employee is injured at work because of breaches of these rules then compensation can be awarded. Most health and safety legislation places place the responsibility of health and safety on the employers. The responsibilities may however be delegated to other competent persons such as fire warders, first aiders and care takers but the employer still
