    What is a Hazard?

    Anything in a position, condition or in a situation where that would


    become a threat where it may cause a damage, a harm or an
    injury to human life and property is recognized as a hazard.
    A hazard can be an object : a hammer with a loose head
    A hazard can be an exposure/ interaction : a live wire with
    unprotected edge, an uncovered power wheel

    A hazard can be an occasion/ incident : a falling brick

    A hazard can be a situation/ condition : a shaky scaffold

    Hazards : Example1

    Electricity

    Unsafe exposure
    may cause
    electric shock

    Mr. X get electric


    shock

    Unsafe exposure to
    Electricity becomes a
    HAZARD

    Types of Hazards
    Hazards identification is conducted during in safety planning at design
    stage of any project

    There are 3 main categories:


    Hazards harmful to health
    Hazards likely to cause personal injury
    Hazards likely to lead to catastrophic events

    Ex: Exposed to noise, vibration, asbestos, dust, radiation etc.,
    Safety Hazards: Hazards likely to cause personal injury

    Ex: Working at heights, working in areas where there is a possibility of


    falling of objects, exposed to live electrical wires etc.,

    Severe Hazards: Hazards likely to lead to catastrophic events

    Ex: Outbreak of fires, flooding, premature collapse of structure, collapse of


    crane, collapse of tunnels and excavations

    Hazards caused by materials

    Materials with sharp cuts, edges, or irritant, poisonous chemical


    compositions
    Eg: Broken glass, steel rods & sheets, cut asbestos sheets

    Hazards caused by electricity

    Unprotected live wires, joints, plugging and faulty electrical equipment

    Hazards caused by ladders & scaffolds

    Loose or unstable scaffolds & ladders

    Hazards caused by mishandle

    Eg: Brick fall, Glass break, storing of steel rods pointed/exposed sharp
    edges

    Method of Hazard Identification

    Direct observation

    Examining the records

    @ Frequent safety inspections

    Can identify causes of accidents, damages. Eg: If an accident happening frequently due to
    mishandling of equipment, mis-operation then mis-operation, mishandling can recognize as
    a hazard

    Conducting interviews

    Can get information about inadequate safety measures, people who misbehave, unsafe
    practices
