CASE STUDY ON OSH PROGRAM PROPOSAL 2

Introduction

The paper identifies three OSH program proposals that should be adopted based on the

case study provided. Among the three programs identified include the program to manage and

control heat stress, the program related to Powered Industrial Vehicles, and program related to

Personal Protective Equipment.

Program 1- Heat Stress

Justification for the program

Heat stress prevention programs should receive immediate attention. Heat stress is the

warming of the body caused internally by the use of muscles or externally by the environment.

Heat exhaustion and heat attack results when the body is reheated by heat. As the heat rises, the

body temperature and heartbeat increase without causing pain. An increase in average body

temperature by two degrees Fahrenheit can affect the functioning of the head (Reese, 2017). An

increase in five degrees Fahrenheit of body temperature can result in severe health or death

effects. In hot weather, heat-related illnesses can be the cause of other types of injuries, such as

heart attack, falls, and equipment accidents. Most claims for compensation in heat-related

diseases. These consequences justify the need to have a heat stress prevention program.

Identification and assessment

There should be specific health surveillance aimed mainly at the identification of workers

who are at risk of presenting heat disorders. The monitoring should consider personal

characteristics such as age, obesity, and pregnancy status or by medical problems such as

cardiocirculatory (Reese, 2017).
