Main Idea:
Hazards in the Workplace There are many things that affect the health of a person, such as his environment, his lifestyle,
etc. Work is an important determinant of health. It can influence health in a positive or in a negative way. A place that is
safe, healthy and work-conducive entails more productivity. In fact, with a healthy workplace you will be doing more
work with less effort.
Hazard is a term used to describe something that has the potential to cause harm.
Risk on the other hand, is a measure of the possibility of a specific harmful effect in given circumstances. It is very
important to know the difference between a hazard and a risk.
