What’s New
Read information sheet no.1. Be ready to answer the following activity.

At work, it is important to distinguish, hazard risk, and exposure when

undertaking risk management. By Definition hazard is the potential for harm, or
adverse effect on an worker’s health. While Risk is likely having that a hazard will

 What is It

Read and understand information sheet no. 2.

Types of Hazard
1. Physical – includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire, falling objects,
slipper surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing, pulling), excessively loud and
prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold, radiation, poor lighting, ventilation, air
quality.
2. Mechanical and/or electrical – includes electricity, machinery, equipment, pressure
vessels, dangerous goods, fork cleft, cranes, hoist.
3. Chemical – includes chemical substances such as acids or poison of those that could
lead to fire or explosion, like pesticides herbicides, cleaning agents, dusts and fumes
from various processes such as welding.
4. Biological – includes bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, insects, vermin, animals.
5. Psychosocial environment – includes workplace stressors arising from a variety of

Identify types of hazard in working place.

What’s More
Read and understand information sheet no. 3.

Factors that influence the degree of risk include :

 how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition; and
 how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), how
severe are the effects under the condition of exposure.

Risk assessment is the process where you;

 Identify hazards;
 Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard
 Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard.

Activity #3: Identify the following words whether Hazard, Risks and
Safety measures or actions.
Ex. Lifting heavy objects incorrectly – Hazard
Back Injury – Risks

1. Manual Handling of tools – knives, secateurs, loppers, crowbars, weed, bags,

mattocks.
2. Repetitive strain
3. Teach and remind workers of correct lifting and carrying techniques.
4. Repetitive movements, bending and awkward working positions.
5. Back/Limb injury
