Hazards and the Risks in Workplace
The hazard and risk assessment is critical in developing safety and health implementation plan. Organization face variety of hazards associated with organization line of business. The potential hazards which might face an organization include biological hazards, chemical hazards, ergonomic hazards, psychosocial hazard and safety (McKinnon, 2017). A risk is the likelihood of a person to be harmed or experiences adverse health effects as a result of exposure to hazards. The action of risk assessments helps and management or individually assigned duties of assessing an organization in identifying hazards and risk factors that may cause potential harm to an employee.
