BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The type of hazard depends on the nature of your work and
the type of work environment. For example, working in an office will
pose different hazards to working in a confined space or working at
height. There is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ for hazards, so it’s important
that you carefully consider all the hazards in your workplace and
install measures to protect your workers from them.
LEARNING CONTENT
HAZARDS AND RISKS
The words hazard and risk are used often to describe dangers in the
workplace. A lot of the time, they are used interchangeably and, while you might
have thought they mean the same thing, they have very different meanings.
A hazard is a source or a situation with the potential for harm in terms of
human injury or ill-health, damage to property, damage to the environment, or a
combination of these. Hazards at work may include noisy machinery, a moving
forklift, chemicals, electricity, working at heights, a repetitive job, or inappropriate
behavior that adversely affects a worker’s safety and health.
A risk is the chance of something happening that will have a negative effect.
The level of risk reflects:
The likelihood of the unwanted event
The potential consequences of the unwanted event.

HAZARD RISK
What is a Hazard in the Workplace?
Hazards are anything that can cause harm, damage or adverse health effects to
people in the workplace. Depending on your workplace, these could include:
Biological. Biological hazards include viruses, bacteria, insects, animals,
etc., that can cause harm. For example, mould, dust, blood and other bodily
fluids, vermin and other parasites.
Chemical. The nature of a chemical hazard will depend on the properties of
the chemicals used and stored on the premises. It includes both health and
physical hazards, such as skin irritation, carcinogenicity, flammability and
radiation.
Ergonomic. Ergonomic hazards are a result of physical factors that can lead
to musculoskeletal injuries. These hazards include workstation setup, poor
posture and manual handling.
Physical. Physical hazards are a result of environmental factors and include
heights, vibration, radiation and pressure.
Psychosocial. Psychosocial hazards include hazards that can have an
adverse effect on an individual’s mental health or wellbeing including stress,
bullying and workplace violence.
Safety. Safety hazards are hazards that create unsafe working conditions.
For example, melting ice could cause a spill hazard or exposed wires might
result in a tripping hazard.

Example of hazards
Care taker’s duties, cleaning:
toxic chemicals and cleaning products,
sharp objects in the waste,
blood on objects in the waste,
slippery floor.
Work in the shop
harassment (physical and verbal),
heavy loads to move,
repetitive movements when moving products over the scanner,
working in a standing position.
Workin the office
harassment,
stress,
poor ergonomics of computer workplaces (unsuitable chair, desk,
position of the screen, keyboard, etc.),
working long hours in a sitting position.
Work in the factory
dangerous machines (unprotected parts of machines),
tempo of work,
monotony of work,
danger of slips and falls,
dangers in transport in the workplace.
REMEMBER
Risk Management, in the context of occupational safety and health
(OSH), is the process of identifying OSH hazards, determining the risk
based on likelihood and severity of work injuries, ill health and property
damage, prioritizing the implementation of preventive measures to
mitigate these risks and communicating the risk assessment to workers.
