3. INTRODUCTION
Hazard is a term associated with a substance that is likelihood to
cause an injury in a given environment or situation .
A hazard is generally anything that can hurt you or make you ill.
Industrial hazard may be defined as any condition produced by
industries that may cause injury or death to personnel or loss of
product or property .
Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence of risk or
injury or loss .
Industrial safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger
of industrial accidents .

5. CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Unfortunately, sometimes chemical reactions get
out of control, because of several problems .

6. CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Chemical plants contain a variety of hazards,
These include…..
 Fire Hazards
 Explosion hazards,
 Reactivity hazards, and
 Toxic hazards.

9. DUST EXPLOSION
The term dust is used if the maximum particle size of the
solids in the mixture is 500 mm . Dust explosion is a rapid
combustion of a dust cloud .
Avoiding the development of explosive mixture.

14. BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Also known as biohazards, refer to biological
substances that pose a threat to the health of
living organisms, primarily that of humans.

15. BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS CONSIST MAINLY OF
THREE
GROUPS OF MICRO-ORGANISMS:
BACTERIA ,VIRUSES AND PROTOZOA.
BACTERIA, VIRUSES AND PROTOZOA GET INT
O FOOD
THROUGH CROSS-CONTAMINATION,
USING UNTREATED WATER.

17. HIERARCHY OF HAZARD CONTROL
 Eliminate the hazard
if possible, remove the cause or source of the noise,
by eliminating the machine, task or work
process.
 Substitute the hazard with a lesser risk
use a less-noisy machine for the task, or introduce
a less-noisy work process.
 Isolate the hazard
separate the noisy process or equipment from the
workers by relocation or by changing the hours of
operation .
17

18. HIERARCHY OF HAZARD CONTROL
 Use engineering controls
improve maintenance procedures to ensure the
effectiveness of sound damping and muffling
equipment.
 Use administrative controls
use strategies such as rest breaks, pause
exercises and job rotation.
 Use personal protective equipment
provide protective equipment appropriate to the
risk.
