Covid-19
And Its Relation to OSH
COVID-19 & Its Relation to OSH
COVID-19 spread mainly through respiratory droplets when an infected person
coughed, sneezed, or talked. It could also spread by touching contaminated
surfaces and then touching the face.
Now, let’s relate this to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS):
Exposure: Workers in crowded places or those interacting with many people
(e.g., healthcare workers, retail staff) had a higher chance of being exposed to
the virus.
Hazard: The virus itself was the hazard, as it posed a threat to health.
COVID-19 & Its Relation to OSH
Risk: The likelihood of getting infected depended on factors like close
contact, lack of protective measures, and hygiene practices.
Health: COVID-19 affected people's physical well-being, causing mild to
severe illness, and also impacted mental health due to stress and isolation.
Safety Measures: To reduce risk, workplaces implemented measures like
masks, hand hygiene, social distancing, and ventilation.
Welfare: Employers provided sanitizers, sick leave policies, and mental
health support to ensure workers’ well-being.

Iceberg
Theory
Frank Bird’s Iceberg Theory
In the sea we can see only 1/3rd part of the iceberg, while 2/3rd part is hidden
under the water. Similarly his explanations says that only a small part of the
cost of accident is unhidden while major cost of the accident is hidden.
Unhidden cost: Another term for Unhidden Cost is Direct Cost or “Insured
Cost”. Examples of All medical expenses, amount paid as compensation, legal
fees etc. counts under unhidden cost.
Hidden cost: Another term for Hidden cost is “Indirect Cost” or “Uninsured
Cost”. Hidden cost are as follows:
Damage to reputation of the company.
Cost involved in training the new worker to replace the injured workman
Investigation time

The Cost of
Workplace Accidents
& Ilnesses
The Cost of Workplace Accidents &
Ilnesses
Work-related accidents and diseases come with significant costs, both
direct and indirect, affecting not only workers but also their families.
Direct Costs for Workers:
Pain and suffering: Physical and emotional distress from the
injury or illness.
Loss of income: Reduced earnings due to time off work.
The Cost of Workplace Accidents &
Ilnesses - Contd.
Job insecurity: Risk of losing employment if unable to perform
tasks.
Healthcare expenses: Medical bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing
treatment costs.
Conclusion
Occupational Health and Safety protects workers' physical,
mental, and social well-being.
Poor working conditions can harm workers and affect their
safety and health.
Workplace hazards can extend beyond the job site, impacting
families, communities, and the environment.
Ensuring a safe work environment benefits both employees and
society.
