IDENTIFY HAZARDS AND RISKS

I. Background Information:
A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working
up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress.
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an
adverse health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or
equipment

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Ampere - unit of measurement for electric current

Circuit - the path of electric current

Connectors and Adapters - accessories that are used to connect from boxes to
conduits or raceways to the other boxes in the electrical system
Corrugated plastic conduit (CPC) - commonly known as flexible non-metallic

Five Basic Workplace Hazards

There are five major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety
at risk.
1. Chemical hazards
2. Physical hazards
3. Biological hazards
4. Ergonomic hazards or job related hazards
5. Psychological hazards or stress
CHEMICAL HAZARDS
If you are working with cleaning products, bleaches, paints, and other
chemical agents, you need to understand what a chemical hazard is as well
as how to protect yourself.

https://www.mynewlab.com/blog/working-in-a-laboratory-the-hazards-and-risks/

Chemical hazards include:

 liquids such a cleansers,
 acids, and paints
 vapors and fumes such as welding fumes
 gases such as carbon monoxide
 products that can catch fire or explode
PHYSICAL HAZARDS

https://www.mynewlab.com/blog/working-in-a-laboratory-the-hazards-and-risks/

Physical hazards include:

 Machinery
 Electrical power
 Noise
 Power and hand tools

3
 Working and walking surfaces
 Trip and fall hazards
 Ladders and scaffolds
 Heat and cold
 ventilation
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

https://bbsrc.ukri.org/

Why be careful around ticks, mouse droppings, bird poop and wild animals?
Because you might get sick from working around certain animals, including people.
Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and
humans. The risks run from skin irritation and allergies to infections.
Dangers can come from:
• unclean restrooms
• mold and fungus
• bacteria
• insect stings
• animal bites
• poorly stored medical waste
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS

https://www.seton.com/blog/2014/12/ergonomics-protect-your-workers-from-musculoskeletal-disorders

If your job is poorly designed, you can develop long term health problems.
These problems can arise from simple things, like working for long periods in an
awkward position or having to make the same motions over and over again.
Problems can come from:
 lighting
 chairs

4
 lifting
 repeated movements
 computer screens

PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS

https://www.seton.com/blog/2015/11/addressing-workplace-hazards-managing-stress-on-the-job

Those that are basically causing stress to a worker. This kind of hazard
troubles an individual very much to an extent that his general well-being is
affected Stress can lead to long-term health problems. Headaches, anxiety, and
impatience are early signs of stress.

Workplace causes of stress include:

• heavy workloads
• lack of control over the pace of work
• shift work
• noise
• working by yourself
• fear of job-loss
• conflict with the employer

What are the examples of a hazard?

Workplace hazard Example of hazard Example of harm caused
Thing Knife Cut
Substance Benzene Leukemia
Material Asbestos Mesothelioma
Source of energy Electricity Shock, electrocution
Condition Wet floor Slips, fall
Process Welding Metal fume fever
Practice Hard rock mining silicosis

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE

One of the most critical among the hazards that one may encounter is the chemical
hazard. Chemical may produce reactions that may endanger ones health and life. This
is the reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH)
established a threshold limit value (tlv).

5
TLV is the term used by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists
(ACGIH*) to express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all
persons can be exposed day after day, without adverse health effects.

Information Sheet 2.1

CONTROLLING HAZARDS AND RISKS

Your health and safety at work

Personal hygiene
Finally, personal hygiene (cleanliness) is also very important as a method of
controlling hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or
take a shower every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash
your skin and hair with a mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it.
Washing hands regularly, and eating and smoking away from your work area help to
prevent ingesting contaminants. Lack of personal cleanliness can affect your family's
health. Your family can be exposed to hazards you work with if you bring chemicals
and other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before
you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent
bringing workplace contaminants home.

Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash
them separately — not with the family wash.

https://www.inquirer.com/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-covid19-laundry-clothes-20200403.html

It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your
clothes or skin is very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure
every day for months can add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this
―spreading the hazard‖ involves asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have
developed asbestosis from exposure to the asbestos on their husbands' work clothes.
Similarly, children have developed lead poisoning from exposure to lead which comes
home on their parents' work clothes.

6
 If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats,
overalls, etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for
holes or areas that are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be
trained in the types of hazards they may work with and how they can be controlled.
Inspect your underclothes at home for any signs of contamination with oils, solvents,
etc. If you find any signs, then it means your protective clothing at work is not
effective. Every workplace should have some kind of first-aid facility Every workplace
should have at least minimal first-aid facilities as well as adequate personnel trained
to provide first aid. First-aid facilities and trained personnel are important components
of a healthy and safe workplace.

A BASIC FIRST AID FACILITY

https://drasafety.com.au/news/what-are-adequate-
first-aid-facilities/

1. General cleanliness in the workplace

is an important method of controlling
hazards.
2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk
of fire and is cost-effective.
3. Good housekeeping measures should
be planned when work processes are
in the design stage.
4. Safety signs are not a method of
hazard control.
5. Personal cleanliness is an important
method of controlling hazards.
6. Your employer should provide
facilities so you can wash and/or take a
shower every day.
7. Before you leave work, wash/shower
and change your clothes when
necessary to prevent bringing workplace
contaminants home to your family.
8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If
you must wash them at home, wash
them
separately — never wash your work
clothes with your family's wash.
7
 9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective
clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures.
10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination.
11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Process of ensuring that an organization has complied with the preventive measures,
is in a state of readiness to contain the effects of a forecasted disastrous event to
minimize loss of life, injury, and damage to property, can provide rescue, relief,
rehabilitation, and other services in the aftermath of the disaster, and has the
capability and resources to continue to sustain its essential functions without being
overwhelmed by the demand placed on them. Preparedness for the first and
immediate response is called emergency preparedness

https://planetprotectoracademy.com/programs/emergency-preparedness-squad/

Always remember that disaster comes in the most unexpected time and place. Being
ready is always a necessity in all circumstances. The government is giving trainings
that everybody needs in all our localities. One should participate in this disaster
training so that we will not be caught unaware when calamity struck.
