organisms (i.e. fungi, bacteria, &
virus) that could be threat to
someone’s health.
Chemical Hazards

 Is any substance that can cause

harm, primarily to people.
Psychosocial Hazards
 Is a type of hazard relates to mental

energized equipment or a conductor.
 Mechanical - It includes machinery,
equipment, pressure vessels, dangerous goods,
fork lifts, cranes, hoists.
Physical/Ergonomics Hazards
 Physical – anything which threaten your
physical safety.
 Ergonomics – a condition that cause poor
