Problem regarding the engineering control


Problem: An incident that I had at my workplace was when I was sharpening an axe and I was using a file to sharpen the axe but it wasn't sharpening it to the correct standards. So I then moved to the electrical file to sharpen the axe. I wore glasses which were the correct PPE at the time and gloves. One of the shards of mental got in eye and I had to shut down the machine and use the eye wash station. The hazards that were present were the electrical file, the axe and the shards of metal that come from using the electrical file. Two controls that could have been implemented to prevent the incident would be to have sufficient files so that the electrical file wouldn't have been needed to use. This would be classified as a engineering control because the equipment would have been updated. Another control would be to use goggles instead of using glasses the implementation of goggles would have stopped the shards of mental from getting into my eye. This would be classified as a substitution for the glasses. Reply to another person's thread using approximately 100 words. Need Assignment Help?
