This document discusses occupational hazards that can impact reproductive health. It outlines four main types of occupational hazards: physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial. Chemical and physical hazards in the workplace can negatively impact women's reproductive health by affecting their menstrual cycles, fertility, risk of miscarriage and stillbirth, and increasing risks of birth defects, low birth weight, premature birth, and childhood cancer. Harmful substances can enter a woman's body through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion and be exposed to babies during pregnancy and childbirth. The document recommends various measures to promote occupational health, including proper nutrition, disease control, sanitation, mental health support, protections for women and children, and health education.

Classification of health hazards
Chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards are the main types of health hazards. Chemical hazards involve exposure to toxic substances and can cause both acute and chronic health effects impacting many organ systems. Physical hazards include noise, vibration, temperature extremes, illumination, and radiation exposure which can damage hearing, nerves, skin, and eyes. Biological hazards arise from bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Ergonomic hazards originate from improperly adjusted workstations and equipment requiring awkward or forceful repetitive motions. Identifying and controlling workplace hazards is important for preventing occupational illnesses and injuries.
Principles of Occupational Health
This document provides an introduction to occupational safety and health. It discusses how occupational health draws from multiple disciplines to protect worker health. It outlines common workplace safety hazards and resulting injuries or diseases. Finally, it describes key concepts in occupational safety including industrial hygiene, ergonomics, risk assessment, and risk management.

Occupational Diseases
Occupational diseases are chronic ailments that occur as a result of work or occupational activity. They can develop instantly upon exposure to hazards like gases, or gradually over weeks, months, or decades from exposures like heavy metals or carcinogens. Globally, there are millions of occupational disease cases and deaths annually, costing countries 2-14% of GDP. Occupational diseases are classified into categories like those from physical, chemical, or biological agents. Examples of specific occupational diseases discussed are pneumoconiosis like black lung from inhaling dusts, occupational dermatitis from skin exposures, and hand-arm vibration syndrome from using vibrating tools. Prevention strategies include engineering controls, protective equipment, health monitoring, and legislation.

HAZARD AND RISK.pptx
This document discusses workplace hazards and risks. It defines a hazard as something with the potential to cause harm or adverse health effects. Workplace hazards can come from substances, materials, processes or practices. Types of hazards include safety hazards, biological hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards, physical hazards, and psychological hazards. It defines risk as the chance of being harmed by a hazard. An adverse health effect is any change that can lead to disease or health problems. A healthy workplace with fewer hazards promotes more productivity with less effort.
Chemical influence
Some chemicals can cause harm to human health. Toxic chemicals include carcinogens that cause cancer, mutagens that cause genetic mutations, and teratogens that cause birth defects. Many chemicals also affect the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems. The toxicity of a chemical depends on factors like dose, route of exposure, and individual susceptibility. Scientists use animal testing and epidemiological studies to estimate toxicity, but these have limitations. More research is needed to understand the health impacts of many chemicals, especially at low exposure levels. Efforts to reduce chemical pollution and require safety testing aim to apply the precautionary principle.

It provides details on each component of the triad: agents can be biological, physical, chemical, or social factors. Host factors include demographic, biological, and lifestyle characteristics. Environmental factors include the physical, biological, and psycho-social environment. Together, the complex interplay between these factors determines the presence or absence of disease.
occupational health overview
This document provides an overview of occupational health and occupational hazards. It discusses the history of occupational health from Hippocrates and Ramazzini in the 18th century who were early recognizers of occupational diseases. It outlines the objectives of occupational health as promoting worker health and preventing work-related illness and injury. The document also discusses different types of occupational hazards including chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic and psychosocial hazards. It provides examples of diseases related to various occupational hazards.
Risk factors in development of mental health illness
Risk factors for developing mental illness can occur at the individual, social, and environmental levels. At the individual level, genetic and biological factors like chromosomal abnormalities or neurological diseases may increase risk. Social risk factors include adverse childhood experiences, family conflict, bullying, unemployment, and poverty. Environmental risks include toxic substances, infections, trauma, and disasters. Addressing risks requires promoting mental well-being across the lifespan by supporting healthy cognitive and social development from infancy through adulthood.
Nature of Environmental Hazards and Risks and there types.
The document discusses different types of environmental hazards including biological, chemical, physical, and mechanical hazards. It defines hazards as agents that can potentially cause harm, and risk as the potential to gain or lose value such as health or money. Environmental hazards are substances or events that can threaten the natural environment and human health, and are categorized as chemical, physical, biological, mechanical, or psychosocial hazards. Specific examples of different hazard types are provided such as bacteria and viruses for biological hazards, and injuries from tools for mechanical hazards. In conclusion, various hazards can damage in different ways, either through physical injury or acute and chronic disease.
