Hazard Types Hazard Examples
Any Hazard When determining hazards associated with a particular task,consideration must also be given to the exposure of personnel, theenvironment and assets external to the work task being undertaken.
Kinetic /
Mechanical
Energy
Contact with moving plant/parts (cutting, shearing, drawing in,entanglement, etc)Contact with sharp objects/edgesContact with moving vehicles/mobile plantStruck by projectiles or ejected items (including struck in the eye byforeign object)Mechanical damage to services, personal protective equipment or other items
Gravitational
Energy
Fall from heightFalling object from heightSlips and trips Access/work beneath a suspended load/unstable object
Thermal and/or
Explosive
Energy
Fire/ExplosionIgnition of gas/dust in a hazardous areaContact with hot/cold objects/partsExcessively hot/cold environments (including heat stress)
Electrical
Energy
Contact with live electrical parts (overhead power line, welding electrode,induced voltage)Exposure to high fault currents (within switchboards, battery banks)Mechanical damage to power leads/fixed electrical wiringIngress of water into electrical components
Pressurised
Energy
Release of a stored gas, liquid, solid under pressure
Release of spring/tension energyContact with pressurised agent
Chemicals /
Substances
Energy
Inhalation of dusts, gases, fumes, vapours and mistsIngestion of chemicals/substances Absorption of chemicals/substances through the skin
Radiation
Energy
Exposure to ionising radiation source (industrial radiography, non-destructive testing)Exposure to non-ionising radiation source (ultraviolet, laser, welding flash,infrared, microwave, radiofrequency)
Biological
Hazards
Exposure to algal, bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic agents (skin contact,ingestion, inhalation) Animal, insect and spider bites/stingsSharps/needle-stick exposure
Manual
Handling /
Postural
Hazards
Handling heavy, unstable or awkward objects/loadsRepetitious movementsMaintaining static or awkward work posturesTool use that requires excessive force
Noise and/or
Vibration
Energy
Exposure to increased noise (levels that may cause hearing damage/employee discomfort)Contact with vibrating plant/vehiclesContact with vibrating tools/objects
Psychological,
Mental, Social
and Medical
Hazards
Working for excessive time periods and/or while fatiguedWorking under the influence of alcohol/drugs or other agents
Expooosure tooo workplace bullying, harassment, violence
