00:00:08.033 --> 00:00:12.082
Shall we look at workers' obligations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act?


1
00:00:12.082 --> 00:00:14.230
According to Article 6 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act

2
00:00:14.263 --> 00:00:20.484
"Workers must adhere to the standards set forth by law and regulations for preventing occupational accidents



3
00:00:20.484 --> 00:00:24.134
and must comply with measures to prevent industrial accidents

4
00:00:24.134 --> 00:00:28.017
implemented by employers or other relevant organizations."

5
00:00:28.017 --> 00:00:31.660
This article stipulates the general duties of workers

6
00:00:34.388 --> 00:00:36.497
As workers, basic compliance includes

7
00:00:36.497 --> 00:00:41.297
obligations to adhere to safety and health measures taken by employers,

8
00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:45.717
wear personal protective equipment, and undergo safety and health training

9
00:00:47.944 --> 00:00:49.145
Furthermore, workers must

10
00:00:49.145 --> 00:00:55.496
faithfully adhere to the deliberations, resolutions, or decisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Committee,

11
00:00:55.496 --> 00:00:59.066
undergo health examinations conducted by employers,

12
00:00:59.066 --> 00:01:02.076
and cooperate in epidemiological surveillance


13
00:01:02.903 --> 00:01:08.768
Additionally, workers must comply with the contents of the Occupational Safety and Health Report and improvement plans

14
00:01:08.768 --> 00:01:11.745
and adhere to safety and health management regulations

15
00:01:12.383 --> 00:01:15.367
Regarding compliance with protective measures

16
00:01:15.367 --> 00:01:19.157
workers must obtain permission from the employer

17
00:01:19.157 --> 00:01:21.182
before removing protective measures 

18
00:01:21.212 --> 00:01:24.712
upon removal and they must promptly restore the original state


19
00:01:24.712 --> 00:01:27.310
once the reason for removal ceases

20
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:31.148
and if they detect any loss of functionality in protective measures

21
00:01:31.166 --> 00:01:34.666
they must report it to the employer without delay

22
00:01:36.966 --> 00:01:42.453
For accident prevention, workers must adhere to the following guidelines before and during work

23
00:01:45.533 --> 00:01:47.359
Pre-work safety inspection refers to

24
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.859
identifying potential risks before work begins

25
00:01:51.871 --> 00:01:56.671
and eliminating or controlling those risks before proceeding with the task

26
00:01:59.062 --> 00:02:01.736
The expected benefits of pre-work safety inspections include

27
00:02:01.736 --> 00:02:07.361
prevention of industrial accidents, creation of a safe workplace, and promotion of healthy work practices

28
00:02:09.108 --> 00:02:11.637
Regarding the pre-work safety inspection system
​

29
00:02:11.637 --> 00:02:16.726
employers should foster a culture of pre-work safety inspections

30
00:02:16.726 --> 00:02:21.676
supervisors should establish safety inspection and improvement plans

31
00:02:21.676 --> 00:02:26.734
and workers should identify and report hazards related to their tasks

32
00:02:30.909 --> 00:02:34.515
The three preparatory steps for pre-work safety inspections include are

33
00:02:34.515 --> 00:02:39.819
First, developing and discussing detailed safety procedures for each task


34
00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:46.338
second, identifying accidents(risks) associated with each step of the task


35
00:02:46.338 --> 00:02:50.988
and third, establishing safety rules to prevent accidents(risks)


36
00:02:54.654 --> 00:02:58.145
The three steps of pre-work safety activities are as follows



37
00:02:58.145 --> 00:03:02.778
The first step is providing education to relevant workers

38
00:03:02.778 --> 00:03:07.488
The second step is posting and displaying at the workplace

39
00:03:07.488 --> 00:03:11.735
The third step is verifying compliance

40
00:03:12.704 --> 00:03:17.500
Pre-work safety inspections should be conducted among team members or colleagues

41
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.095
These are the guidelines for conducting pre-work safety inspections

42
00:03:24.095 --> 00:03:27.387
The duration is approximately 5 minutes, the target audience is workers

43
00:03:27.387 --> 00:03:30.387
and before starting work in the workplace

44
00:03:30.404 --> 00:03:39.104
workers should be familiarized with and adhere to the major 3 safety measures: safety procedures, accident cases(risks), and safety rules


45
00:03:41.452 --> 00:03:43.811
As an example of a pre-work safety inspection case

46
00:03:43.813 --> 00:03:48.213
let's consider the safety point cases of Company P

47
00:03:48.213 --> 00:03:53.934
where workers verify safety equipment and review previous accident cases before starting work

48
00:03:54.650 --> 00:03:59.572
Inside the factory, there are displays of old scenes with the phrase "Do you remember those times?"

49
00:03:59.572 --> 00:04:03.188
In these photos, errors and mistakes

50
00:04:03.188 --> 00:04:06.438
that are still occurring

51
00:04:06.463 --> 00:04:09.063
or could be repeated

52
00:04:09.063 --> 00:04:11.427
at any time are depicted

53
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:14.327
Then, ensures tidiness and organization to workers
