The document discusses six main categories of workplace hazards: biological, chemical, physical, safety, ergonomic, and psychosocial. Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, and other organisms that can cause health issues. Chemical hazards are substances that can harm health or cause injuries through irritation, corrosion or explosions. Physical hazards do not require contact, such as noise, radiation, or heights. Safety hazards create unsafe conditions leading to possible injury. Ergonomic hazards arise from poor workstation setup or posture. Psychosocial hazards negatively impact mental health and well-being through issues like harassment or stress. The document encourages identifying hazards and managing risks to promote safety.

8. SIX MAIN CATEGORIES OF
HAZARD

9. BIOLOGICAL HAZARD

10. Biological hazards include viruses,
bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that
can cause adverse health impacts. For
example, mould, blood and other
bodily fluids, harmful plants, sewage,
dust and vermin.

11. CHEMICAL HAZARD

12. Chemical hazards are hazardous
substances that can cause harm. These
hazards can result in both health and
physical impacts, such as skin irritation,
respiratory system irritation, blindness,
corrosion and explosions.

13. PHYSICAL HAZARD

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

15. SAFETY HAZARD

16. These are hazards that create
unsafe working conditions. For
example, exposed wires or a
damaged carpet might result in a
tripping hazard. These are
sometimes included under the
category of physical hazards.

18. Ergonomic hazards are a result of
physical factors that can result in
musculoskeletal injuries. For
example, a poor workstation setup
in an office, poor posture and
manual handling.

19. PSYCHOSOCIAL HAZARD

20. Psychosocial hazards include those
that can have an adverse effect on an
employee’s mental health or
wellbeing. For example, sexual
harassment, victimization, stress and
workplace violence.
