Types of Environmental stresses or Hazards
1. Safety Hazards 2. Health Hazards
Any type of substance, condition or object Chemical, physical or biological factors in our
that can injure workers. Slipping, tripping, environment that can have negative impacts on our
lack of guarding, defective equipment etc. short- or long-term health. Exposure can occur
through touch, inhalation, and ingestion
Recognition of Hazards
MODULE 4: APPLICATION OF HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL
Category of Hazards
Physical Ergonomic
(Radiation, magnetic fields, (Repetitive movements, forceful motion,
extreme temperature, extreme awkward posture, static posture, improper
pressure – high or vacuum, noise, set up of workstations, unsafe lifting)
illumination
Biological
Chemical (Bacteria, viruses, fungi,
(Depends on physical, chemical parasites, insects, plants, birds,
and toxic properties of the animals and human)
chemical. Liquid/mists, gases,
solvent, vapors, dust,
metals/fumes)
Psychosocial
Mechanical (Bacteria, viruses, insects, plants,
birds, animals and human)
(Exposure to either powered or
manually operated equipment,
machinery and plant)
What is a risk assessment?
MODULE 4: APPLICATION OF HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL
Risk Assessment
Process or method of identifying
hazards and risk factors that
have the potential to cause harm
(hazard identification).
Analyze and evaluate the risk
associated with the hazard (risk
analysis and evaluation)
Determine appropriate ways to
eliminate the hazard or control
the risks when the hazard cannot
be eliminated (risk control)
Hazard Vs Risk
MODULE 4: APPLICATION OF HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL
Hazard + Exposure = Risk
Risk Assessment Matrix
MODULE 4: APPLICATION OF HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL
Scenario A
Jumping within a short distance and with water RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX (RISK LEVEL)
underneath (low depth).
Severity (Impact)
Major Impact Medium High Extreme
Moderate Impact Medium Medium High
Minor Impact Low Medium Medium
Unlikely Moderately Very Likely
Probability (Likelihood)
LIKELIHOOD – the chance or probability of something to happen
SEVERITY – the level of damage or the consequence of a particular hazard occurrence
RISK LEVEL – LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY
Risk Assessment Matrix
MODULE 4: APPLICATION OF HAZARD IDENTIFICATION RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL
Scenario B
Jumping within a short distance with spikes RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX (RISK LEVEL)
underneath (deeper depth).
Severity (Impact)
Major Impact Medium High Extreme
Moderate Impact Medium Medium High
Minor Impact Low Medium Medium
Unlikely Moderately Very Likely
Probability (Likelihood)
LIKELIHOOD – the chance or probability of something to happen
SEVERITY – the level of damage or the consequence of a particular hazard occurrence
