NSG 4405 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Safety Data Sheet, Occupational Safety And Health, Engineering Controls
Document Summary
Case management = an approach to deliver health care in a cost effective manner. Disability = physical or mental condition that limits a person"s movements, senses, or activities. Engineering controls = primary prevention methods that are built into the design of a plant, equipment or process to minimize the hazard. Epidemiological triangle = framework to describe the complex relationships between the agent, host, and the environment. Ergonomics = incorporates the science of biomechanics to design work that is less demanding of a worrier"s joints, back, and muscles to prevent injury. Hazard communication standard = policy that requires both employers ad employees to be knowledge about hazards and to take action to protect themselves from illness or injury. Health risk appraisal (hra) = questionnaires completed by employees to assess personal health habits and behavior risk factors. Hierarchy of controls = systematic process to control workplace hazards, including elimination or substitution, engineering controls, warning, administrative controls, and.
