This document discusses hazards and risks in hotel and lodging establishments and how to control them. It identifies five common hazards: 1) electrical, 2) chemical, 3) biological, 4) physical, and 5) ergonomic. Electrical hazards can include defective equipment, faulty wiring, and overloaded circuits. Chemical hazards include cleaning and painting products that can cause skin, respiratory, and other health issues. Biological hazards are body fluids, bacteria, waste, and pests that can transmit disease. Physical hazards involve slips, trips, blocked aisles, and cords on the floor. Ergonomic hazards relate to workstation setup, equipment operation, noise, lighting and other environmental factors. The document recommends using personal protective equipment, engineering
