 What I Need to Know

One of the "root causes" of workplace injuries, illnesses, and

incidents is the failure to identify or recognize hazards that are
present, or that could have been anticipated.
Workplace safety is very important. Hazards exist in all
workplaces in every industry. Risk assessments and hazard
management are designed to lower those workplace risks.  How we
manage those risks as business owners or employees dramatically
impact on the overall safety within our workplace.
The foodservice industry, like other industries, is required to
meet guidelines to ensure workplace safety for both employees and
the customers we serve.

Upon the completion of this module, you are expected to:

1.Determine the types of hazards and risks the workplace

Identify Hazards and Risks in the Workplace

Hazard Identification

7
 The first step in reducing an accident is hazard identification. It is identifying
all situations or events that could cause injury or illness.
Eliminating or minimizing workplace hazards need a systematic approach. It is
essential to try and anticipate all possible hazards at the workplace-known as the
“what if” approach.

Types of Hazard/Risk in the Workplace

Hazards are classified into four different types
1. Physical Hazards are factors or conditions within the environment that can harm
your health.
- They are the most common and are present in a workplace. These
include unsafe conditions that can cause injury, illness and death.

 poor lighting
 poor ventilation
 insufficient facilities
 inefficient or faulty equipment or machine
 improper work practice such as wrong use of knives
 Ignorance or carelessness of the worker

2. Chemical Hazard. Hazards arise from inhaling chemical agents in the form of
vapors, gases, dusts, fumes, mists, or by skin contact with these materials.

8
Some commonly used workplace chemical hazards include:

 Acids
 Cleaning products such as toilet cleaners, disinfectants and chlorine bleach
 Heavy metals, including mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum
 Paint
 Pesticides
 Solvents

3. Biological Hazards are caused by living organisms which include insects, molds,
fungi, viruses, and bacterial contamination.

 defects in sanitation and housekeeping procedures such as

a. provision of potable water,
b. removal of industrial waste

9
 c. food handling
d. personal cleanliness

4. Ergonomic Hazards refer to workplace conditions that pose the risk of injury to
the workers’ musculoskeletal system. Musculoskeletal injuries, also referred to
as repetitive strain injury.

 improper lifting or reaching

 poor visual conditions

 repeated motions in an awkward position that may be responsible for fatigue,
stress and strain and may lead to accidents in the occupational environment.
