Factors of Potential Hazards

The list on the previous page is by no means a complete one.

The types of hazards you will face vary greatly based on factors such as:

• The industry segment (such as petrochemical, manufacturing, medical, and so on)
• Products produced (if applicable)
• Products used (such as cleaning chemicals and gases)
• Equipment used (such as an oven, stove, pumps and power tools)
• The worksite locations and environment (geographical site, indoors, outdoors, or a combination)

Hazards can affect the health and safety of a worker, co-workers, the facility, and even the nearby community. They can potentially cause illnesses, injuries, and even death.
