There are four main types of workplace hazards: physical, ergonomic, chemical, and biological. To correct workplace hazards, there are three major areas of change: hazard classification, labels, and safety data sheets. Hazard classification criteria have been updated to ensure consistent evaluation of health and physical hazards. Labels must now include a signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard class. Safety data sheets have a specified 16-section format. Employers must also provide worker education and training programs and keep records of them.

12.3. Discuss the three major alternatives that may used to correct workplace hazard
There are four main types of workplace hazards:
Physical hazards are the most common hazards and are present in most workplaces at
some time. Examples include: frayed electrical cords, unguarded machinery, exposed
moving parts, constant loud noise, vibrations, working from ladders, scaffolding or
heights, spills, tripping hazards.
Ergonomic hazards occur when the type of work you do, your body position and/or
your working conditions put a strain on your body. They are difficult to identify
because you don’t immediately recognize the harm they are doing to your health.
Examples include: poor lighting, improperly adjusted workstations and chairs,
frequent lifting, repetitive or awkward movements.
Chemical hazards are present when you are exposed to any chemical preparation
(solid, liquid or gas) in the workplace. Examples include: cleaning products and
solvents, vapours and fumes, carbon monoxide or other gases, gasoline or other
flammable materials.
Biological hazards come from working with people, animals or infectious plant
material. Examples include: blood or other bodily fluids, bacteria and viruses, insect
bites, animal and bird droppings.
To correct workplace hazard, there are three major areas of change are in hazard
classification, labels, and safety data sheets.
 Hazard classification: The definitions of hazard have been changed to provide
specific criteria for classification of health and physical hazards, as well as
classification of mixtures. These specific criteria will help to ensure that evaluations
of hazardous effects are consistent across manufacturers, and that labels and safety
data sheets are more accurate as a result.
 Labels: Chemical manufacturers and importers will be required to provide a label that
includes a harmonized signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement for each hazard
class and category. Precautionary statements must also be provided.All hazardous or
controlled products must carry labels that clearly identify the product and provide
hazard information about it. The label must indicate whether a workplace MSDS (see
below) is available in the workplace.

 Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) : Will now have a specified 16-section
format.An MSDS must be provided for every controlled product in your workplace.
The MSDS provides much more detailed information than a label.
 Worker education – Every employer is expected to develop and implement an up-to-
date education program to enable workers to understand and use the information that
is provided on the labels and MSDS. This program should be reviewed at least once a
year, and whenever there is a change in conditions or new hazard information
concerning any hazardous substances in the workplace. Employers must keep written
records of employee education.
 Untuk memperbaiki bahaya tempat kerja, ada tiga bidang utama perubahan dalam klasifikasi
bahaya, label, dan lembar data keamanan.
bahaya Klasifikasi: Definisi bahaya telah diubah untuk memberikan kriteria khusus untuk
klasifikasi bahaya kesehatan dan fisik, serta klasifikasi campuran. Kriteria khusus akan
membantu untuk memastikan bahwa evaluasi dari efek yang berbahaya tidak konsisten di
seluruh produsen, dan bahwa label dan lembar data keamanan yang lebih akurat sebagai
hasilnya.
Label: Kimia produsen dan importir akan diminta untuk memberikan label yang mencakup
kata sinyal harmonis, pictogram, dan pernyataan bahaya untuk setiap kelas dan kategori
bahaya. Pernyataan Hati-hati juga harus provided.All produk berbahaya atau dikendalikan
harus membawa label yang jelas mengidentifikasi produk dan memberikan informasi
tentang bahaya tentang hal itu. Label harus mengindikasikan apakah MSDS kerja (lihat di
bawah) tersedia di tempat kerja.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): sekarang akan memiliki 16-bagian tertentu format.An
MSDS harus disediakan untuk setiap produk dikendalikan di tempat kerja Anda. MSDS
memberikan informasi rinci lebih dari label.
Pendidikan Pekerja - Setiap majikan diharapkan untuk mengembangkan dan
mengimplementasikan program up-to-date pendidikan untuk memungkinkan pekerja untuk
memahami dan menggunakan informasi yang diberikan pada label dan MSDS. Program ini
harus ditinjau setidaknya sekali setahun, dan setiap kali ada perubahan kondisi atau
informasi baru tentang bahaya zat-zat berbahaya di tempat kerja. Pengusaha harus
menyimpan catatan tertulis tentang pendidikan karyawan.
