Web based occupational safety and health

Hello everyone! Now I will explain to you about the details of web based occupational safety and health based on my understanding and from what have I learned from Dr. Roya in her lectures. Occupational safety and health is established to provide a workplace that is free from known hazard that can cause death or serious injury. It is related to protect the safety, and health of the employee that worked in the organization.

Furthermore, safety and health of all employees can also be protected if there are involvement of management and employee. There also should be workplace analysis to identify the problem that might occur, and provide necessary standard. Safety and health training can be conducted can help to prepare the employee for their own safety. This is also proved to be useful as, it will help to reduce the risk of getting injured and reduce the compensation cost or medical cost for the employee.

In the lecture, I heard that Dr.Roya stated that, Web based occupational safety and health is intended to provide knowledge and demonstrate the value as a guideline for the employee and manager. The knowledge provided might involve instruction on how to conduct the work more safely, and ways to reduce accidents at the workplace. It helps to standardize the procedure, providing instructions, and other information related to the safety in workplace. The increasing use of HRIS can facilitates the process of OSHA more effectively. It is essential to collect the records of employee personal data, employee injury and illness record to provide a better workplace. This will help the employees to comply and follow the OSHA standards. E-tools are also provided in the program, where it provides specific health and safety topics, guidelines to comply with certain regulations. E-Tools also provides sample of safety and health plan for the suitability of an industry. Employee also can gave question or get feedback on OSHA. In addition, the employee and employer also can be trained to comply and follow OSHA rules. The entire covered employee should report and notify the OSHA within eight hour if it involves three or more employees. This application will enable the analyzing of current level of risk and report of any accidents which can be used by the organization to improve the application. This application is important as the accident or illness will give negative impact to all parties.
