SAFETY HAZARDS

ERGONOMIC HAZARDS


SAFETY HAZARDS SAFETY HAZARDS: These are the most common and will be present

in most workplaces at one time or another. They include unsafe conditions that can cause injury, illness and death.

Safety Hazards include: Spills on floors or tripping hazards, such as blocked aisles or cords running across the floor Working from heights, including ladders, scaffolds, roofs, or any

raised work area Unguarded machinery and moving machinery parts; guards

removed or moving parts that a worker can accidentally touch Electrical hazards like frayed cords, missing ground pins, improper

wiring Confined spaces Machinery-related hazards (lockout/tag out, boiler safety, forklifts,

etc.)


PHYSICAL HAZARDS PHYSICAL HAZARDS: Are factors within the

environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it.

Physical Hazards 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


CHEMICAL HAZARDS CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Are present when a worker is exposed

to any chemical preparation in the workplace in any form (solid, liquid or gas). Some are safer than others, but to some workers who are more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can cause illness, skin irritation, or breathing problems.

Beware of: Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids, solvents – ESPECIALLY if chemicals are in an unlabeled container! Vapors and fumes that come from welding or exposure to

solvents Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide and helium Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and explosive

chemicals. Pesticides


BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS: Associated with working with

animals, people, or infectious plant materials. Work in schools, day care facilities, colleges and universities, hospitals, laboratories, emergency response, nursing homes, outdoor occupations, etc. may expose you to biological hazards.

Types of things you may be exposed to include:

Blood and other body fluids

Fungi/mold

Bacteria and viruses

Plants

Insect bites

Animal and bird droppings


ERGONOMIC HAZARDS ERGONOMIC HAZARDS: Occur when the type of work, body

positions and working conditions put 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. Short- term exposure may result in “sore muscles” the next day or in

the days following exposure, but long-term exposure can result in serious long-term illnesses.

Ergonomic Hazards include: Improperly adjusted workstations and chairs Frequent lifting Poor posture Awkward movements, especially if they are repetitive Repeating the same movements over and over Having to use too much force, especially if you have to do it frequently Vibration
