A hazard can be defined as anything that can make you ill or hurt you. Everybody deals with hazards that are present in our day-to-day lives, for we have to be trained to understand and identify them, by our parents, teachers and coaches. But unfortunately, we have not been trained to recognize and control hazards that may be present at our work place. This is the primary reason why young workers are injured at work.
Firstly, it is important to understand that there are different types of hazards that may be present at the work place. Some of them are:
1.Physical hazards such as: Missing ground pins, improper wiring, unguarded machinery, constant loud noise, high exposure to sunlight, spills on floors, cords running across the floor and much more.
2.Biological hazards like: Fungi, bacteria and viruses, plants, insect bites and even animal and bird droppings.
3.Ergonomic hazards may include: Poor lighting, improperly adjusted workstations and chairs, frequent lifting, poor posture, awkward movements, especially if they are repetitive, repeating the same movements over and over, or even carrying heavy objects, especially if you have to do it frequently.
Once you learn to identify, recognize and asses these hazards, Hazwoper Courses empowers trainees to not only control, but to eliminate the possibility of any future accidents or mishaps. These courses give you the power to lead safe and healthy lives at home as well as at work.
