6. Electrical hazards: Faulty wiring, exposed electrical components, or improperly grounded equipment can pose a risk of electric shock or fire.
7. Noise hazards: Loud machinery or equipment can cause hearing damage if proper hearing protection is not worn.
8. Vibration hazards: Prolonged exposure to vibrating tools or equipment can cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) or other musculoskeletal disorders.
9. Heat hazards: Equipment such as furnaces, welding torches, or hot surfaces can cause burns if not handled with care.
10. Ergonomic hazards: Poorly designed workstations, tools, or equipment can lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain or repetitive strain injuries.
