Hazards

Physical hazards, Chemical hazards, Biological hazards, and Ergonomics hazards

PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Physical hazards potentially associated with the range of activities include the following hazards:

·         Noise

·         Vibration

·         Heat Stress

·         Radiation (ionizing and non-ionizing)

·         Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material

·         Hyperbaric Pressure

CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Chemical hazards potentially associated with the range of activities include the following hazards:

·         Chemicals (New or Existing)

·         Asbestos Containing Material (ACM)

·         Manmade Fibres (MMF)

·         Other processes and manufactured chemicals.

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

The Biological Hazards outlines various kinds of biological agents and hazard group classifications, effects on human health, how biological hazards can be assessed, interpretation of field data, and control measures available aimed at mitigating the exposure of workers may include bacteria, viruses, insects, etc.

The Biological Hazards are:

·         Viruses, COVID-19

·         Bectria

·         Fungi

·         Bio-active substances

·         Pathogenic micro-organisms

ERGONOMICS HAZARDS

The ergonomic method is aimed at identifying, evaluating, and controlling the work tasks and activities that bear a significant impact on human health and well-being. The application of ergonomic principles in the workplace can result in the following:

·         Increased productivity

·         Improved health and safety of the workers

·         Lower worker compensation claims

·         Compliance with regulations

·         Reduced operation cost

·         Lower lost time at work
