 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, handling of oven has a few hazards that will contribute to risks. The
hazard of this activity can be seen from the oven itself and the cookware used for this process,
not just from improper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Ignition from the oven has the
highest risk value followed by high temperature, jewellery, fumes and short circuit as well as
workpiece with medium risk level. Meanwhile broken door has the lowest risk value. These
risks can be reduced by taking safety measures as daily practise to ensure that the workplace
is safe. When doing work involving complicated machines, regular maintenance should be
done to prevent property loss which can lead to financial loss. Rules and regulations set by
GMP must be taken into consideration to prevent serious injury. Proper attire such as personal
protective equipment (PPE) should be worn when doing tasks to prevent physical harm to the
worker. Since hazards cannot be eliminated, usage of personal protective equipments (PPE)
helps in reducing the risks of the hazard. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves,
masks, boot and aprons act as barrier between the worker and hazard which helps to reduce
the severity of the hazard.
