What is a hazard?
Hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on
something or someone under certain conditions at work.
Sometimes a hazard is referred to as being the actual harm or the health effect it
caused rather than the hazard. For example, the disease tuberculosis (TB) might be
called a hazard by some but in general the TB-causing bacteria would be considered
the "hazard" or "hazardous biological agent".

What is Risk?
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse
health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or
equipment loss.

Kinds of hazards are:

 Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that can
cause adverse health impacts. For example, mould, blood and other bodily
fluids, harmful plants, sewage, dust and vermin.
 Chemical hazards are hazardous substances that can cause harm. These
hazards can result in both health and physical impacts, such as skin
irritation, respiratory system irritation, blindness, corrosion and
explosions.
 Physical. Physical hazards are environmental factors that can harm an
employee without necessarily touching them, including heights, noise,
radiation and pressure.
 Electrical - An electrical hazard can be defined as a dangerous condition where
a worker could make electrical contact with energized equipment or a conductor,
and from which the person may sustain an injury from shock; and/or, there is
potential for the worker to receive an arc flash burn, thermal burn, or blast injury.
Working near an electrical hazard is dangerous and can be fatal. Any work on
or near energized equipment must be done only when measures are in place to
provide protection from electric shock and burn. With adequate safety measures
in place, every electrical injury and fatality can be prevented.
 Ergonomic. Ergonomic hazards are a result of physical factors that can
result in musculoskeletal injuries. For example, a poor workstation setup
in an office, poor posture and manual handling.
 Psychosocial. Has recently been acknowledged in legislation as a workplace
hazard. Psychosocial hazards include those that can have an adverse
effect on an employee’s mental health or wellbeing. For example, sexual
harassment, victimization, stress and workplace violence.

Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources. General examples
include any substance, material, process, practice, etc that has the ability to cause
harm or adverse health effect to a person under certain conditions.

Examples of Hazards and Their Effects

Thing Knife Cut

 Seven Causes of Workplace Hazards

1.Fire
The first workplace hazard is the risk of a fire breaking out. There are many different
reasons a fire might break out in your building, including chemical spills, machinery or
equipment malfunctioning, gaseous containers, electrical failures, not discarding
flammable materials properly and many other reasons. To protect your employees,
have fire extinguishers in the building and educate your employees on how to use them
properly. You should also have designated fire exits.
2.Slips and Falls
Next is the risk of a slip and fall which is a risk regardless of where you work and where
you are. A slip could be as simple as a spill in the break room that hadn’t been cleaned
up yet or falling over a computer cord in the aisle. Tile and linoleum flooring is also a
risk, which is common in break rooms and restrooms. If it was recently waxed, that
increases the risk even further.
3. Chemicals
Another workplace hazard you should protect is chemicals. Be sure your to understand
what chemicals they might find in the workplace and how to dispose of them properly.
Chemical handling mistakes are a common reason for chemical-related illnesses.
Chemicals could be anything from liquids and gases to the fumes, dust, solids or
vapors. Ingesting, absorbing in the skin and inhaling the fumes may all be hazards.
4.Electrical Hazards
This is a workplace hazard that most employees don’t notice until it causes an injury
or fire in the building. Electrical hazards could be from liquids near electrical outlets,
malfunctioning power strips, extension cords coming into contact with water or fraying
cords.
5. Back Injury
Lifting heavy objects or doing lifting and bending over repetitively throughout the day
can also cause injury to your employees. Even when using the proper lifting form, such
as keeping the back straight and not bending over to pick up the items, a back injury
could occur. This is reason for employees to practice caution.
6. Hazardous Materials
here are also hazardous materials aside from chemicals that could cause illness to
your employees. This includes toxic waste and hazardous materials that may cause
skin infection, burn, respiratory disease, cause an explosion and fire or even blindness.
As with chemicals, be sure employees wear protective gear and practice caution when
around any type of hazardous material.
7.Workplace Violence
Lastly, there is workplace violence which is hazard, which is more common than you
might think. This could be from spouses coming into the workplace and being violent,
former employees who come back for some sort of revenge or altercation, or simply
violence between co-workers when things get too heated and bullying in the workplace.
Have good security and keep a close eye on people visiting you.
