    Biological and physical hazards pose threats to human health in occupational settings. Biological hazards can cause infection, allergies, or poisoning through exposure to organisms like viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Physical hazards like noise above certain decibel levels, ionizing radiation, and heat stress are examples that can induce hearing loss, increase cancer risk, or cause heat-related illnesses respectively if exposure limits are exceeded. Proper hazard controls through engineering, administration and PPE use can help manage risks to worker health from both biological and physical occupational hazards.

    What is Biological Hazard?
    ●commonly known as
    biohazards
    ●a biological substance that
    poses a threat to the health of
    living organisms, primarily
    humans.

    l Hazard
    Sign
    Three Health Effects
    ●Infection
    ●Allergy
    ●Poisoning
    Infection
    ● Any organism that is capable of causing disease.
    ● Transmission on infection : direct or indirect

    Examples:

    virus bacteria
    fungi
    Allergy
    ●   Occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance.

    Examples:

    Irritant Contact Dermatitis Allergic Contact


    Dermatitis
    Poisoning
    ● An illness caused by eating, drinking, or breathing a dangerous
    substance.
    Examples:

    Health Effects
    Occupation Dose Limit
    ● 20 msi/year or 50 msv in single year
    ● Eye – 20 msv /year
    ● Skin – 500 msv/year
    ● Hands & feet – 500msv/year

    Limiting Exposure
    High exposure to
    sunlight
    Causes of Heat Stress
    Heat Stress
    ● Occupational heat stress is the net load to which a worker is exposed
    from the combined contributions of metabolic heat, environmental
    factors, and clothing worn which results in an increase in heat
    storage in the body.

    Risk Factors
    ● Work environment
    ● Workload
    ● Clothing
    ● Worker
    Health Effects
    ● Worsening of pre- existing conditions
    ● Mental Health Condition
    ● Injury and accidents
