SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and HAZARDS

A Hazard is defined as any possible damage, harmful effects, and untoward incidents that may cause pain or accident to anyone.

Safety precautions need to be strictly adhered to due to the important factors in which if they're not, a few personnel can positioned at risk. Work location injuries translate into days ignored for work, decreased productivity, and misplaced profits.

Here is the list of information based on the picture represented above:

POSSIBLE HAZARDS:

• Overloaded Electricity Outlet

• The knife is placed on top of the shrink and not in its place

• A bunch of knives placed at the end side of the table

• A child playing in the kitchen and just under the table

• The faucet was kept open and the water continuously flowing

• A piece of a Pot Holder is placed directly on top of the stove

• Several toys are scattered around the floor.

DESCRIBING THE RISK

• Overloaded Electricity Outlet- These may cause fire as the electrical outlet exceeded its capacity to supply the amount of electric current for the appliances connected to it. As a result, the connection will turn hot, and anytime soon it will explode and cause a fire.

• The knife is placed on top of the shrink - sharp objects should always be used with extra care, as it is a direct object that can cause a cut to anyone's body part and may cause a loss of blood that may bring possible to death. Also based on the picture represented above, the child is playing just underneath the hanging knife that may fall anytime and can cut directly his head.

• A child playing in the kitchen and just under the table- any child should never play in an area with a lot of potential hazards such as the kitchen. This area has a lot of different objects that can place any child in danger, it can be the following: Stove, Electrical appliances, sharp objects, etc.

• The faucet was kept open and the water continuously flowing- a continuous flowing of water can cause overflowing in the compartment assigned to it, thus this water can continuously flow going to the floor area which may cause flooding and slippery floor

• A piece of a Pot Holder is placed directly on top of the stove- any type of object that is not made of fire-resistant materials should never be placed on top of the stove. A stove is the main source of means of cooking food since it can provide the flame that can bring ingredients to a boiling point or can fried dishes. A flame is the top root cause of a big fire that can destroy big buildings and structures.
