Workplace hazard is anything that made a workplace deviate from the normal state of being either by claiming lives, causing injuries or destroying properties.
Types of workplace hazard
1. Fire: this is the process whereby the workplace is being set ablaze due to carelessness or improper use of Personal Ptotective Equipment (PPE).
2. Cut: this is where and operator or a worker is being cut by any mechanical equipment due to the process of not using hand protecting equipment.
3. Shock: this is when a worker is being electricuted either by wrong connection, not taking precaution or carelessness.
4. Suffocation: this always happened when someone is working in a confinespace and he or she refuses to go with enough oxygen and unfortunately the oxygen finishes.
Workplace hazard is very common in most companies and even in our private companies due to lack of safety personels to quide them on things that the should and things that the should not do while at work. It also occur due to lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) like the hardhat, handgloves, earplug, facemask, coverall, safety boots etc.
It also occur due to arogancy either by not following the right procedure like collecting of work permit or work authorization.
Very interesting.
