Introduction
In the case of health and safety of employees, the organisation has their specific
measures to protect them, as their employees’ responsibility is under their authority. There
are different organisational hazards in the workplace and authority have to make a secure
look over this, so that undesired accidents will not happen. Abrasive blasting, abrasive
material, dry abrasive blasting and wet abrasive blasting all these processes are under
international act of ‘Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, 1993’ (No.
130 of 1993). Employees’ works under the act and organisation ensures their safety and
security. Migrant people will also under the same act as the process saves their life as well in
organisation. The exposure standard and corporation agreement was with the National
Occupational Health and Safety Commission. There was a good amount of penalty as well
for those, who would violate the rules and make their own provision of legal process.
Occupational Safety and Health Regulation 1996 was implemented in commercialised areas
(Worksafe.qld.gov.au 2015).
The paper highlights different hazards in the workplace due to the use of types of
machinery. The paper also provides the safety measures in the organisation so that employees
will find the right way and company will be benefitted by the uses of those equipment. In
mobile plant operated areas injury through collision is a concerning aspect so preventive
measures are taken for this reason. Traffic control and segregation are formed in case of
controlling the risks. Forklifts, robotic arm movements, pallet jacket, earthmoving equipment,
industrial lathe machine, pressure vessel and some other mechanical appendages are helps in
easy acceleration in work rate in organisation.
