This document discusses workplace hazards and risks. It defines hazards as things that can cause harm and lists six main types: safety, biological, chemical, ergonomic, physical, and psychological. Risk is defined as the chance of harm from a hazard. Factors like exposure level and severity influence risk degree. The document outlines a risk assessment process of identifying hazards, analyzing risks, and controlling hazards. It provides examples of common workplace hazards, potential harms, and safety measures to mitigate risks.

Typically, OSHA cites the same workplace injuries or hazards over and over. We hear that falls are dangerous, to be cautious when handling chemicals, or to be aware of fire hazards. But, when it comes down to it, do companies have a strategy in place to ensure they are protecting their workers and ensuring their liability is defended?

Repetitive Motion Injury
Where OSHA cites the most accidents is in the construction industry, which is not really a surprise due to the dangerous work performed on job sites. However, no matter the industry there are workplace hazards – including sitting at a desk in a cozy office job.
At the heart of avoiding accidents or identifying hazards is ensuring your workplace or job site has individuals performing tasks who are properly trained. Training is the key to prevention! You’ll see this trend in our “Prevention Tip(s)!” below.
Workplace Hazard #1: Falls and Falling Objects
Approximately 19,565 people die in the U.S. annually due to injuries caused by unintentional falls
Slips, trip and fall injuries cost employers approximately $40,000 per incident;
About 9.2 million people were treated in emergency rooms for fall-related injuries in 2016.
65% of fall-related injuries occur as a result of falls from same-level walking surfaces;
In 2017, there were 366 fatal falls to a lower level out of 971 construction fatalities
CFR 1926.501 Fall Protection is the single most cited workplace violation by the OSHA
85% of worker’s compensation claims are attributed to employees slipping on slick floors (Industrial Safety & Occupational Health Markets 5th edition)
Prevention Tip!
Since 2012, OSHA has recognized training as the best way to minimize fall injuries: Use myComply to book training and keep track of who has been trained!
Workplace Hazard #2: Chemical Exposure
Breathing of contaminated air is the most common way that workplace chemicals enter the body.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate more than 32 million workers in the United States are potentially exposed to chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin.
Roughly 860,000 illnesses resulting from chemical exposure occur in the workplace every year.
Employers must develop, im
The meaning of the word hazard can be confusing.
Often dictionaries do not give specific definitions or
combine it with the term "risk". For example, one
dictionary defines hazard as "a danger or risk" which
helps explain why many people use the terms
interchangeably.
There are many definitions for hazard but the most
common definition when talking about workplace
health and safety.

1. Hazards and Risks in the
Workplace
Hazard -a term used to describe something
that has the potential to cause harm or
adverse effects to individuals,
organizations property or equipment.
2. Types of workplace hazards:
1. Safety hazards: Inadequate and
insufficient machine guards, unsafe
workplace conditions, unsafe work
practices.
3. 2. Biological hazards: Caused by
organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi
and parasites.
4. 3. Chemical hazards: Solid, liquid, vapor
or gaseous substances, dust, fume or
mist.
5. 4. Ergonomic hazards: Anatomical, physiological, and
psychological demands on the worker, such as repetitive
and forceful movements, vibration, extreme
temperatures, and awkward postures arising from
improper work methods and improperly designed
workstations, tools, and equipment.
7. 6. Psychological hazards: Those that
are basically causing stress to a worker.
This kind of hazard troubles an individual
very much to an extent that his general
well-being is affected.
8. Examples of Hazards
Workplace Hazard Example of Hazard Example of Harm
Caused
Thing Knife Cut
Substance Benzene Leukaemia
Material Asbestos Mesothelioma
Source of Energy Electricity Shock, electrocution
Condition Wet floor Slips, falls
Process Welding Metal fume fever
Practice Hard rock mining Silicosis
9. Risk -the chance or probability that a person
will be harmed or experience an adverse
health effect caused by a hazard.
-It may also apply to situations with property
or equipment loss.
adverse health effect- "any change in body
function or the structures of cells that can
lead to disease or health problems".
10. The following are adverse health
effects
• Bodily injury
• Disease
• Change in the way the body functions, grows, or
develops
• Effects on a developing fetus (teratogenic
effects, fetotoxic effects)
• Effects on children, grandchildren, etc.
(inheritable genetic effects)
• Decrease in life span solvents
• Effects on the ability to accommodate additional
stress
11. 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), and how severe
are the effects under the conditions of
exposure.
12. Risk assessment-is the process where
you:
• identify hazards;
• analyze or evaluate the risk associated
with that hazard; and
• determine appropriate ways to eliminate or
control the hazard.
13. Hazards Risks Safety measures/ actions
Manual handling of hand tools -
knives, secateurs, loppers,
crowbars, weed bags, mattocks.
Back injury Repetitive strain Teach and remind workers of
correct lifting and carrying
techniques. Rotate tasks.
Lifting heavy objects incorrectly Back injury Repetitive strain Teach and remind workers of
correct lifting technique. Rotate
tasks.
Repetitive movements, bending
and awkward working positions
Back/ limb injury Repetitive
strain
Teach and remind workers of
correct lifting technique. Rotate

Trip hazards Injury Warn volunteers and remove
trip hazards before commencing
work. Do not leave tools on path
ways. Watch where one walks,
and goes slowly. Mark tools with
fluorescent color.
