combustion products in the air Asphyxia penetrating burns and severe dermatitis permanent corneal lesions Punctures, cuts and amputations Fires and explosions Bursting of boilers

PHYSICAL HAZARDS
1.

Excessive continuous noise levels

2. Heat stress 3. radioactive exposure

CHEMICAL HAZARDS
1.

Irritation of eyes, respiratory tract and skin

2. Irritation of the upper respiratory tract and coughing 3. Pneumoconiosis 4. Dermatomes

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
1.

Development of fungi and growth of bacteria in the boiler room.

2. Presence of rodents and insects may result in bites

and infectious diseases.

ERGONOMICS/PSYCHOSOCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS

1.

General tiredness

2. Cumulative trauma disorders 3. Back pains and other musculoskeletal problems

(including lesions of intervertebral discs)

4. Psychological stress

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
1.

Wear safety shoes with non-skid soles

2. Periodically check and adjust burners operation to

prevent carbon monoxide generation

3. Install effective exhaust ventilation to prevent air

contamination; add local exhaust ventilation if necessary

4. Wear long-sleeve shirts and protect hands with

chemical-resistant gloves; if impractical, use a barrier cream

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
5. Wear appropriate eye protection; consult a safety

supervisor or a supplier
6. Arrange periodic inspection of boilers, to detect

failure of components, metal cracking, etc.

7. Wear hearing protection appropriate for the noise

levels and type of noise - consult the supplier or an expert

8. Replace hydrazine with less-hazardous substitutes

PREVENTIVE MEASURES
9. Wear respiratory protection during maintenance or

other work in which dust may be released into the atmosphere

10. Learn and use safe lifting and moving techniques for

heavy or awkward loads; use mechanical aids to assist in lifting
