WEB BASED OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH

The web based occupational safety and health in last class was being promoting safety and health to the organization. The employee and employer must being educated and trained in order to ensure they are really responsible with their duties. Then, OSHA has set their standards where employers with more than 11 employees must make records and report about occupational injuries and illnesses. The inspection of OSHA is very important because organization must make inspections of any danger situations and accidents that have occurred; or any employee complaints about violation standards and hazard substances.

The employer has some responsibilities to provide the workplace free from recognized hazards; make organization familiar with mandatory OSHA standards; and examine workplace conditions to ensure they have applicable standards. However, the employer also have the rights such they have too seek advice and off-site consultation from OSHA officer; request and receive proper identification of the OSHA officer before inspection; and also advised by the compliance officer for an inspection.

In other points, as the employee, they should responsible to follow with all applicable OSHA standards; follow all employer safety and health rules and regulations; and most important report if any hazardous conditions happen to the supervisor. Therefore, the employees have rights to demand safety and health on the job without fear of punishment. OSHA cannot cite employees for violations of their responsibilities.

Nowadays, the digital technologies such as the online databases are widely applied in these tools for site hazard prevention and safe project delivery. The online databases are commonly used in assessing competence of different stakeholders. Whereas, VR and database technologies are to assist users in identifying potential the construction risks contained in the design at the construction stage. The advantage of 4D CAD is to analyze on-site dynamics in order to enable safe project delivery. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and BIM have also become used in conjunction with 4D CAD to make better understand construction safety issues by considering environment impact and design information.

The Construction Safety and Health Monitoring (CSHM) system also become new technologies in occupational safety and health as detector of potential risks and hazards and warning sign that require immediate corrective action. Last but not least, technological advances in information, sensing, and visualization enabling new forms of awareness construction job site conditions that will bring effective management practices and decrease safety risks at job sites.
