    HAZARDS AND RISKS

    Hazard is anything that may cause harm to an individual, such as chemicals,

    Risk is the possibility that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards
    and the indication of how serious the harm can be.

    Occupational Health and Safety

    4
    Occupational Health and Safety is the campaign and maintenance of the well-being of
    workers in every occupation. It talks about providing a safe working environment to achieve
    an injury-free workplace and a healthy atmosphere that protects every worker against
    illness. As an effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, clients, and other
    members of the community who are affected by the workplace environment.

    Types of Hazards

    Physical hazards are the most normal occurrences in workplaces. They are usually easy to
    detect, however, very often are neglected because people are too accustomed to them.
    Another reason may be due to lack of knowledge or people do not see situations as
    hazards.

    Spills on floors or tripping hazards: There are times when even the caregivers themselves
    do not mind spills on floors. This, definitely, poses hazard to everyone.

    Some of the Effects of Physical Hazards


     Fire
     Decreased efficiency
     Annoyance
     Falls

    Biological hazards come from working with animals,


    people or infectious materials. This is, therefore, one
    of the most common hazards that a caregiver faces.
    If one is working in a day care, hospital, hotel
    laundry, nursing home, laboratories, he/she may be
    exposed to biological hazards.
    5

    Ergonomic hazards occur when a caregiver’s nature of work, body position and working
    conditions put pressure on his/her body.

    Examples of ergonomic hazards that a caregiver may


    be exposed to:

     performing tasks that require lifting heavy loads


     too much bending and reaching

    Some of the Effects of Ergonomic Hazards


     pain in the shoulders
     back injury

    Chemical hazards are present when a worker is exposed to any chemical preparation in the
    workplace in any form (solid, liquid or gas).

    Examples of chemical hazards that a caregiver


    may be exposed to:

     liquids like cleaning products


    Psychological Hazards take place when a caregiver’s work environment becomes stressful
    or demanding.

     Burn out‖, fatigue and on call duty


     Unreasonable expectations from patients or clients
     Verbal abuse form dissatisfied clients
     Unreasonable expectations from supervisors
    and management.
