2. Biological hazards :
• Biological hazards come from
working with people, animals or
infectious plant material.
• Biological work hazards may occur if
workers are exposed to living
organisms or properties, such as
parasites, viruses, fungi and
bacteria. These types of work
hazards may also come from toxins
and allergens.
3. Office and industrial workers
may be at risk of exposure to
biological hazards if they
come into contact with
dangerous mold or asbestos.
Examples include: blood or
other bodily fluids, bacteria
and viruses, insect bites,
animal and bird droppings.
Employees who work in medical offices
or health care facilities may be more at risk
for this type of work hazard.
This is because they can be easily
exposed to blood-borne pathogens and
diseases.
