Study Notes
Types of Hazards
- Physical hazards involve factors that can cause harm without changing the substance or composition of the material, such as vibrations that can cause disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Ergonomic hazards can cause musculoskeletal disorders through prolonged exposure to poor posture, repetitive movements, or vibrations.
Chemical Hazards
- Chemical hazards involve exposure to substances that can cause harm through their chemical properties, such as corrosive substances that can damage living tissues or materials.
- Examples of chemical hazards include exposure to substances that can ignite and cause fires, or substances that can cause harm through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact.
Biological Hazards
- Biological hazards involve exposure to living organisms or their byproducts that can cause harm, such as exposure to bacteria, viruses, or toxins.
Radiological Hazards
- Radiological hazards involve exposure to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation, which can cause harm.
Environmental Hazards
- Environmental hazards involve factors in the environment that can cause harm without changing the substance or composition of the material, such as extreme temperatures that can cause heat stroke or hypothermia.
- Noise hazards can lead to hearing damage.
