One example of an occupational safety hazard could be working at heights without proper fall protection equipment, such as harnesses and guardrails. This could lead to serious injuries or fatalities if a worker were to fall from a height.

Physical Hazards:

- Ergonomic hazards: Repetitive motions, awkward postures, heavy lifting
- Noise hazards: Prolonged exposure to high noise levels
- Vibration hazards: Exposure to excessive vibration from machinery or tools
- Heat and cold stress: Working in extreme temperatures
- Radiation hazards: Exposure to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation
- Electrical hazards: Electrical shocks, burns, and arc flashes
- Chemical hazards: Exposure to toxic, corrosive, or flammable chemicals
- Fire hazards: Potential for fires or explosions

Biological Hazards:

- Infectious agents: Exposure to bacteria, viruses, and parasites
- Allergens: Exposure to substances that cause allergic reactions
- Biological toxins: Exposure to poisons produced by living organisms

Mechanical Hazards:

- Guarding hazards: Lack of machine guards or protective barriers
- Caught-in hazards: Risk of body parts being entrapped by machinery or equipment
- Falling hazards: Working at heights or near unstable surfaces
- Struck-by hazards: Potential for being hit by falling objects or moving equipment

Psychosocial Hazards:

- Work-related stress: Excessive workload, tight deadlines, low job control
- Violence and aggression: Threats, verbal abuse, or physical violence
- Harassment and discrimination: Unfair treatment based on personal characteristics
- Job insecurity: Fear of job loss or instability

Environmental Hazards:

- Poor air quality: Exposure to air pollutants or dust
- Limited visibility: Fog, smoke, or darkness
