Q

Electrical equipment in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dust can cause this

21
Q

Are dangerous substances that pose risks to health and safety, often found as airborne mists, vapors, gases, dust, or fumes.

A

Chemical Hazards

22
Q

A primary route of exposure, where airborne contaminants like gases, vapors, dusts, and fumes enter the lungs and bloodstream.

23
Q

Through skin contact, posing a risk if protective gear is not used.

24
Q

Through unintentional ingestion of contaminants

25
Occurs if sharp tools or broken equipment penetrate the skin
Injection
26
Refer to the potential risks that can cause physical harm or injury to workers due to physical agents, factors or conditions present in the workplace.
Physical Hazards
27
Moving parts, sharp edges, and heavy equipment pose a risk of cuts, bruises, or more severe injuries.
Mechanical Hazards
28
Exposure to very high or very low temperatures
Temperature Extremes
29
Exposure to loud equipment, such as high frequency signal generators or heavy-duty machinery
Noise
30
Process in which energetic particles or energetic waves travel through a vacuum, or through matter-containing media that are not required for propagation
Radiation
31
Includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays.
Ionizing Radiation
32
33
It can alter atomic structures and has high-energy potential, demanding strict control measures in restricted areas.
Ionizing Radiation
34
Includes near-ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
35
Is generally less harmful but requires awareness and safety measures, particularly in environments with high exposure levels.
Non-Ionizing Radiation
36
Is a zone where access is controlled to protect employees from radiation exposure.
Restricted Area
37
Are tight, restricted areas with limited mobility and access
Confined Spaces
38
Occurs when a worker encounters an unseen foreign object in their path, causing them to fall.
Trip and Fall
39
Occurs when a person's foot encounters an unexpected step down, like a hole in the floor or an unnoticed step.
Step and Fall
40
Happens when a worker's foot suddenly meets a sticky surface or a defect in the walking surface, leading to a fall.
Stump and Fall
41
The most common type, happens when a worker's balance is disrupted, often due to a slippery surface.
Slip and Fall
