HAZARDS
1. Safety Hazards
Safety Hazards are unsafe working conditions that can
cause injury, illness and death. Safety hazards are the
most common workplace hazards.
They include:
• Anything that can cause spills or tripping such as cords
running across the floor or ice
• Unguarded machinery and moving machinery parts that
a worker can accidentally touch
• Electrical hazards like frayed cords, missing ground pins,
improper wiring
• Confined spaces

2. Biological hazards:
-Caused by organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi
and parasites.
3. Chemical hazards:
-Solid, liquid, vapor or gaseous substances, dust, fume or
mist
Beware of:
• Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids and solvents
especially if chemicals are in an unlabeled container!
• Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide and
helium
• Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and
explosive chemicals
• Pesticides
4. Physical hazards
-can be any factors within the environment that
can harm the body without necessarily touching it.
They include:
• Radiation: including ionizing, non-ionizing
(EMF’s,microwaves, radiowaves, etc.)
• High exposure to sunlight / ultraviolet rays
• Temperature extremes – hot and cold
• Constant loud noise
5. Ergonomic hazards
-Occur when the type of work, body positions
and working conditions put a strain on your
body. They are the hardest to spot since you
don’t always immediately notice the strain on
your body or the harm that these hazards pose.
Ergonomic Hazards include:
• Improperly adjusted workstations and chairs
• Frequent lifting
• Poor posture
• Awkward movements, especially if they are
repetitive
• Having to use too much force, especially if you
have to do it frequently
6. Psychological hazards:
-Those that are basically causing stress to a
worker. This kind of hazard troubles an individual
very much to an extent that his general
wellbeing is affected.
Types of Hazards
• Safety hazards – ex. Electrical hazards, wet floor, fire
• Biohazards- virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites
• Chemical Hazards- cleaning agents, insecticides,
preservatives, etc
• Physical Hazards- high temperature, vibration, radiation
• Ergonomic hazards- wrong posture and movements
while working
• Psychological Hazards- anything that can cause stress.
Ex. Workloads, fears or phobia, etc.
Safety Hazards in the Kitchen are
everywhere.
