(1) Biological Hazard - Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other living organisms that can cause acute and chronic infections by entering the body either directly or through breaks in the skin.
(2)Chemical Hazard - Chemical hazards and toxic substances pose a wide range of health hazards (such as irritation, sensitization, and carcinogenicity) and physical hazards (such as flammability, corrosion, and explosibility).
CONSEQUENCES
(1)These sources can cause a variety of health effects ranging from skin irritation and allergies to infection
(2)Exposure to chemicals can cause acute or long-term detrimental health effects. There are many types of hazardous chemicals, including neurotoxins, immune agents, dermatologic agents, carcinogens, reproductive toxins, systemic toxins, asthmagens, pneumoconiotic agents, and sensitizers.
SOLUTION
(1)Wash hands before and after work. Also wash hands immediately before and after wearing protective clothing, uniforms or gloves to reduce the possibility of infection.
(2) All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
