In practical terms,a hazard oftenisassociatedwithaconditionoractivitythat,if leftuncontrolled,
can resultinan injuryor illness.
The purpose of thistrainingisfor us to know how to identifythese hazardsandprovide solutionson
howto eliminate orcontrol themasearlyas possible inordertohelppreventinjuriesandillnesses.
Hazard Identification
What to lookfor…?
Mechanical Hazards
Electrical Hazards
Chemical Hazards
EnvironmentalHazards
HealthHazards
Mechanical hazards
Machinery, its parts, tools, objects and materials processed or
used in the work process are often a source of mechanical hazards leading
to injuries. Mechanical hazards are created by the powered operation of
apparatus or tools. The applied power may be electrical or human. Tools or
apparatushave three locationswhere mechanical hazardscanexist:
the pointof operation
the pointof powertransmission
the area of movingparts

Electrical hazards
Machinery, along with power supply systems, can also create
electrical hazards, leading to severe or fatal accidents caused by
electric shocks. All of the following are electrically energized when
the power is “on”: electrical systems of machines, internal & external circuits, input
power exposed wires, and all other metal parts. Additionally, incorrectly installed or
improperly grounded equipment is a hazard. Electrical hazards are created by the
electricallypoweredoperationof apparatusortoolswhichcan be identified:
shortcircuitor groundedwiringonamachine
electricpowertransmission
exposedwiring(livedwire)
Chemical hazards
A chemical hazard arises from contamination of an area
with harmful or potentially harmful chemicals. Possible sources of
chemical hazards include the burning of fossils, materials and
chemicals used in construction and industry, pollution of the
environment and water supply, chemical spillages, industrial
accidents,andthe deliberate release of toxicmaterials.
Environmental hazards
Environmental hazard' is a generic term for any situation
or state of events which poses a threat to the surrounding
environment. This term incorporates topics like pollution and
natural disasterssuchas stormsand earthquakes.
Soil erosion/LandSlides
Fallingrocks/ Hangingwalls
Heavyrain causingFlood(Storm)
Earthquake
Quicksand / clayeysurface /swamp
Healthhazards/ BioHazard
Biological hazards, also known as biohazards, refer to
biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living
organisms, primarily that of humans. Which can be inhaled,
swallowed or contact with the skin. The term and its associated
symbol is generally used as a warning, so that those potentially
exposedtothe substanceswillknowtotake precautions.

2. Causesandcorrective actionfor a recentaccidentor “nearmiss.”
3. Jobhazards that shouldbe emphasizedalongwithsafetycontrolsthatwill prevent
accidents.
4. General problemsconcernedwithbothon-jobandoff-jobsafety.
5. Seasonal safetyinformation
How large shouldaToolbox SafetyMetingbe?
