Return to site Return to site IDENTIFYING AND PREVENTING OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS February 15, 2023 Identifying workplace hazards is essential to protecting the health of workers. This can be achieved by assessing the risks and developing an effective hazard control plan. Hazards are physical or biological dangers. These can be associated with specific issues or tasks. They can be caused by internal and external sources. Man down safety There are four major categories of hazards. Biological, physical, chemical, and ergonomic. Each can cause harmful effects to employees. Some can cause critical injuries. Biological hazards involve exposure to infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. Examples of workplaces that have these hazards include nursing homes, schools, and daycare facilities. Chemical hazards are caused by a variety of chemicals including carbon monoxide, flammable liquids, cleaning products, pesticides, and more. Inhalation of these substances can lead to death and other serious health problems. Biological hazards also involve exposure to diseases from animals, plants, and humans. Occupational health and safety experts help organizations identify hazards and implement safety measures. Ergonomic risks include improper posture, heavy lifting, and repetitive motion. Workers may also be exposed to toxic chemicals, such as carbon monoxide, through their skin. Taking proper precautions to minimize these hazards can prevent accidents and injuries. Physical risks are dangerous conditions that can be caused by heat, noise, and other physical aspects of the work environment. Exposure can be minimized by limiting the time spent in these environments and avoiding activities that can cause them. Managing workplace hazards is a complex process. A hazard control plan should be created to track progress toward completion. It should also include provisions for protection of workers during foreseeable emergencies.
