About the heading Occupational Health & Safety in Yellow™

You will find information on occupational health and safety under this heading in Yellow™. Occupational Health and Safety is aimed at the protection of individuals who are involved in work or employment. Occupational Health and Safety promotes the mental, physical, and social well being of employees working in all organisations. On moral grounds, it is the responsibility of the worker and the employer to ensure that health and safety standards are met.

If necessary precautions are not taken at the work place, then there is risk to both the worker and the co-workers. In the construction industry, there is a lot of risk to life and property. Before starting the construction work, the construction workers have to be given training on the use of various safety equipments such as safety jackets, safety helmets, and so on. In the chemical industry, the workers must be given all the necessary information regarding the health issues arising from the work.

In addition, the employees must be educated on the use of hazardous chemicals. When working with chemicals, many toxic fumes might be given out in the various processes. The chemical workers must be trained on the first aid for chemical poisoning. In the naval industry, drowning in the sea is the biggest risk. Marine workers who work on rigs and other vessels must be educated on the use of safety helmets and life jackets. Recently, many companies are hiring safety experts and professionals to train their employees on various aspects of safety.
