 INTRODUCTION

Hazard is the potential for the harm or an adverse effect (for example,to people as health
effects,to organizations as property or equipment losses,or to the environment).Hazard
indentification is part of the process used to evaluate if any particular situation,item,etc may have
the potential to cause harm.The item often used to describe the full process is risk assessment.

• Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm (hazard
identification)
• Analyse and evaluate the risk associated with that with hazard (risk analysis,and risk
evaluation)
• Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard or control the risk when the hazard
cannot be eliminated (risk control)

Overall,the goal of hazard identification is to find and record possible hazards that may be
present in your workplace.It may help to work as a team and include both people familiar with
the work area,as well as people who are not – this way you have both the experienced and fresh
eye to conduct the inspection.A risk assessment is a though look at your workplace to identify
those things,situations,proceses,etc.That might cause harm,particularly to people.After
identication is made,you can analyse and evaluate how likely and severe the risk is.When this
determination is made,you can proceed,decide what measures should be in place to effectively
eliminate or control the harm from happening.

5 TYPES OF HAZARDS:

1)Physical hazards:Physical hazards are environmental factors that can harm an employee
without necessarily touching them,including heights noise radiation and pressure.

2)Biological hazards:Biological hazards includeviruses,bacteria,insect,animals,etc,

that can cause adverse health impact.For example,mould,blood and other bodily fluid,harmful
plants,sewage,dust and vermin.

3.Ergonomic hazards:Ergonomic hazards are a result of physical factors that can result in
musculosketel injuries.For example,a poor workstation setup in an office,poor posture and
manual handing.

4.Psychosocial hazards:Phychosocial hazards include those that can have an adverse effect on
an employee mental health or well being.

5.Chemical hazards:Pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation,sensitization,and

carcinogenicity).For example,like a carcinogens chemical and corrosive materials.
 6 RISKS CONTROL METHOD

1.Elimination:Getting rid of hazardous job,tool,process,machine or substance is perhaps the best

way of protecting workers.For example,a salvage firm might decide a stop buying and cutting up
scrapped bulk fuel tanks due to explosion hazards.

2.Substition:Sometimes doing the same work in a less hazardous way is possible.For example,a
hazardous chemical can be replaced with a less hazardous one.Controls must protect workers
from any new hazards that are created.

3.Isolation:If a hazard cannot be eliminated or replaced,it can sometimes be isolated,contained

or otherwise kept away from workers.For example,an included and airconditioned control room
can protect operators from a toxic chemical.

4.Redesign:Job and processes can be reworked to make them safer.For example,containers can
be mad easier to hold and lift.

5.Safe work procedures:Worker can be required to use standardized safety practices.The

employer is expected to ensure that workers follow these practices.Work procedures must be
periodically reviewed with workers and updated.

6.Personal protective equipment (PPE):Used when other controls measures are not feasible
and where additional protection is needed.Workers must be trained to use and maintain
equipment properly.The employer and workers must understand the understand the limitations of
the personal protective equipment.The employer is expected to require workers to use their
equipment whenever it is needed.Care must be taken to ensure that equipment is working
properly.Otherwise,PPE may endanger a worker’s health by providing an illusion of protection.

 CONCLUSION

In conclusion,Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) require the protection of

the employees by the employers from the workplace hazard causing injury(OSHA,2003).The
fact that workplace violance is grouped as one of the major causes of the work-related fatalities
and injuries,more measures should be enacted to ensure safe working environments.The known
risks,industry recognition,and feasible abatement are inspection are governed by different factors
of the case such as death of the employee or serious injuries as examined above.Administrative
controls,PPE and engineering controls are some of the feasible solutions in addressing workplace
violance.
