Hazards and Workplace Layout & General Environment
Many different hazards exist in the design and layout of the workplace,
and the general work environment. Examples include:
- Thermal
- Machinery: mobile, fixed
- Chemical
- Electrical
- Noise
The hazards associated with this category are those that arise from
the type of plant and equipment that are in use, the general design
and layout of the workplace and the broader work environment in
which the workplace is located
Usually these types of hazards are the easiest to identify, and often
(unfortunately) hazard identification does not proceed beyond this stage

Hazards and Work Practices
Many hazards arise through work practices, and many workers are
exposed to hazards as that; eg:
- A chemical hazard may be present in the form of chemicals stored in drums.
However the way that workers are exposed to the chemical will depend upon the
work practices that are adopted. Particular work practices may also affect the
nature of the hazard; eg., a chemical normally in liquid form may be sprayed in an
airborne state where it can be easily inhaled

Risk assessment
The key issue to address in managing OH&S is the management of
risk. There will inevitably be many hazards with the potential to
cause an impact on objectives existing in a workplace. The key
issue to consider is what is the level of risk is actually posed by
these hazards. A good OH&S Management System normally
attempts to eliminate some hazards and minimize the risk
associated with others
Risk Analysis and Assessment

on a five by five matrix
