Summary of Duties of Stakeholders on Safe Use of MEWPs at Workplaces Duties of Manufacturers and Suppliers  Section 16(1) of the WSH Act imposes a duty on the Manufacturer and Supplier to provide equipment (including MEWPs) that is safe, and without risk to health, when properly used. This would include ensuring that the MEWP is in full compliance with internationally acceptable design codes and standards and that it is equipped with all the required safety devices stipulated by the applicable design codes and standards it is manufactured or constructed to. Duties of Occupier  Regulation 21(1) and 21(3) of the WSH (General Provisions) Regulations, requires the Occupier to ensure that the MEWPs used at the workplace are registered with the Ministry as a statutory lifting machine and that it is thoroughly examined by an Authorised Examiner (AE) at least once every six months.  Duties of Occupier c) In addition, Section 11(c) of the WSH Act imposes a duty on the Occupier to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, measures to ensure that any machinery or equipment (including MEWPs) kept on the workplace are safe and without risks to health to everyone within those premises. Duties of Employer  Section 12 of the WSH Act requires the Employer to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of his employees at work. These measures include ensuring that adequate safety measures are taken in respect of any machinery or equipment (including MEWPs) used by the employees. Duties of Employer  In addition, Employer shall ensure that persons at work have adequate instruction, information, training, and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work Duties of Persons at Work  Section 15(2) of the WSH Act requires that no person at work shall wilfully or recklessly interfere with or misuse any appliance or equipment (including MEWPs) that will compromise the safety, health or welfare of persons at work.

Provision of suitable protective equipment  It is the duty of employers to provide suitable masks (e.g. N95 masks) to employees where warranted. Factors to consider in the selection of suitable masks including the nature and levels of pollutants, work tasks and conditions, operator-related factors and any accessories used together with the masks.  The purpose of the mask is to ensure that users are adequately protected from inhaling the pollutants and the appropriate masks should be selected for use when required. As an example, for particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), the correct type of mask is one which is capable of filtering out about 95% of very fine particles, such as N95 mask or equivalent.  In hazardous haze situations, an N95 mask which has a protection factor (PF) of 10, may not provide workers with sufficient respiratory protection. As such, respirators with higher PF (e.g. full face respirators) should be considered when performing prolonged outdoor work at 24-hour PSI above 400.  Employers should ensure that employees who need to wear masks or respirators are fit-tested. Training should be conducted and supervision provided to ensure correct usage. Masks should be changed when soiled/physically damaged or when the wearer finds it hard to breathe. Reference should be made to the Singapore Standard SS 548:2009: Code of Practice for Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices.. N95 Respirator Respiratory refresher training 29



Heat Cramps - painful muscle spasms that result from the loss of salt and electrolytes due to excessive sweating.  The cramps will usually affect the stomach, the arms and legs.  This condition can be treated by drinking fluids containing electrolytes such as calcium, sodium, and potassium.  This condition usually precedes heat exhaustion. Heat Exhaustion - is a state brought on by the loss of fluids lost during excessive sweating.  Individuals with heat exhaustion still sweat, but they experience extreme weakness and may even collapse.  They may experience nausea and headache. Their skin is clammy and moist, their complexion is usually pale and the body temperature is usually normal or slightly higher.  This condition is best treated by taking the patient to a cool place, applying cool compresses, elevating the feet and giving the individual plenty of fluids. Heat Stroke - is a severe medical emergency which could result in death.  Heat stroke results when the body's core temperature gets too high and the body is no longer able to cool itself.  An individual suffering from heat stroke will have hot and dry skin, their pulse will be high and their blood pressure will fall.  This condition must be treated by immediately cooling the victim's body with water or wrapping them in cool wet sheets. Immediately seek medical attention. 92301900In all cases to contact Immediately T2E Emergency Duty Phone: Workforce on water parade 30

Ergonomic design of powered and non-powered hand tools is important to avoid awkward postures of the hand and arm and prevent the user from experiencing excessive exertion and/ or vibration.  Non-powered hand tools include pliers, screwdrivers, hammers and knives. Powered hand tools such as chainsaws and powered screwdrivers can be electric or pneumatic.  Use of poorly designed hand tools, such as hand tools with small grip areas, can lead to poor hand-wrist posture and place excessive pressure on the hand. Good practices for the selection and use of hand tools appropriate for the job:  Select or design tools that can be operated with the wrist in a neutral position, that is, straight wrist  Avoid short tool handles that press into the palm of the hand.  Avoid narrow tool handles that press deeply into the hand when the tool is used.  Select or design tools that can be used with either the right or left hand.  Select or design tools that require less effort or rotational movement to use, improve postures and reduce holding time.  Select tools with handles made of slip-resistant materials.  Counterbalance or support heavy tools, for example, by hanging heavy tools from a support.  Ensure that the hand and fingers can easily grasp the tool. Safe work practices include:  Know the purpose and function of the tool well.  Use the correct tool for the job.  Use the tool properly and safely (including positioning of tool)  Maintain the tool in good condition. Do not use a damaged tool.  Cover the tool (if provided) after use. Avoid carrying a sharp tool in the pocket; and  Return the tool to its proper place after use. Do not leave them lying around when they can become a tripping hazard.  do not use improvised or self-manufactured tools  When working at height-Tools must be secured to the hand. To prevent the tools from falling 35

Always inspect the hand tools and use the correct one for work Always Secure hand tools to hand while working at height Always use hand tools that has proper grip, and the hand and wrist is in stress free position. 36
