and Safety (OHS) requirements and workplace information

II. Background Information for Learners

Running a nursery is like managing a farm for crop production. From


time to time, you will probably hire workers to help run your farm operations
as such it becomes a business enterprise involving employer-worker
relationships as years of operation continues. Being an employer, you are
responsible to ensure the health and safety of all people working in your farm.
Just as you need to know crop management, you also need to know what is
required by government occupational health and safety legislation. The
legislation can be used as farm management tool which can help your farm
operations safer and more profitable.

OHS LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND CODES OF PRACTICE

Definition of Health, Safety and Occupational Health and Safety

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), Health is the


promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and
social well-being of workers in all occupations. In other words, it is what keeps
you physically and mentally fit and content.

1
Safety is freedom from unacceptable risk or harm. It is, therefore, the
achievement of such conditions that minimize as far as possible the likelihood
of harm occurring.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) - refers to the legislation, policies,


procedures and activities that aim to protect the health, safety and welfare of
all people at the workplace.

Accidents in the nursery


All farms have dangerous machinery and work situations. People of all
ages, who work and live on farms, are at risk of injury. Children are especially
vulnerable to hazards on farms because it is their home, as well as, a place of
work. Young, inexperienced workers are at a higher risk for injuries than older
experienced workers. Performance changes which occur with aging can result
in reduced balance and reaction time, vision and hearing impairment. These
and other changes affect the aging farmer’s ability to work safely. Working
alone and time pressure also increase the risk of injury. When these injuries
occur, especially at critical farming times, they can reduce farm revenues.
Losing a limb and the resulting loss of productive work time can devastate
both the short and the long-term profitability of a farm operation. The
Occupational Health and Safety Act will apply to all workplaces, including
farms. In our country the agency that is in-charge to take the lead in the
conduct of Occupational Safety and Health System (OSHS) is the Department
of Labor and Employment (DOLE). The agency should monitor the following:

Prevention- Executive Order 301 (OSHC)


o Enforcement- Administrative Code of 1987
o Compensation Rehabilitation-Presidential Decree 626
(Environmental Certificate Compliance)
o Updating of Health & Safety Standard and Other Related
OSH Policies- Administrative Code 1987

The DOLE is the lead agency of the government in the administration


and enforcement of laws, policies, and programs on occupational safety and
health.
The legal basis of its mandate is the Presidential Decree No. 442,
Labor Code of the Philippines. The OSHS was created in 1978 under these
standards:
A set of mandatory rules on OSH which codifies all safety orders and
patterned after the standards of other developing countries.

Reporting health-related and accidents

Community law requires that work-related accidents and incidents of ill


health are reported to the health and safety inspectorates or equivalent national
authorities. Whenever an accident occurs, after caring for the injured, you
must:
• report the accident to the authorities, as required by national law;
• investigate the accident to identify its root causes;
• record the accident, as required by national law;
• register the accident in a logbook.

It is good practice to register near hits and near misses as well, as these
reveal areas prone to accidents. Reporting accidents and ill health incidents
contributes to community knowledge and aids statistical analysis from which
conclusions can be drawn. Thus, further specific guidance and control
measures can be established for the improvement of workplaces for all.
