The categories of hazards it identifies occupational health hazards ?

1. Physical hazards: These include exposure to noise, vibration, extreme temperatures, radiation, and ergonomic hazards such as repetitive strain injuries.

2. Chemical hazards: Exposure to hazardous chemicals in the workplace can lead to acute or chronic health effects. This includes exposure to toxic substances, carcinogens, irritants, and allergens.

3. Biological hazards: These include exposure to infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Workers in healthcare, agriculture, and laboratory settings are particularly at risk of exposure to biological hazards.

4. Psychosocial hazards: These include workplace stress, bullying, harassment, violence, and other factors that can impact an individual's mental health and well-being.

5. Safety hazards: These include risks of slips, trips, falls, machinery accidents, electrical hazards, and other factors that can lead to physical injury or death.

6. Ergonomic hazards: These include poor workstation design, improper lifting techniques, and other factors that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and other ergonomic-related injuries.

7. Environmental hazards: These include exposure to outdoor pollutants, indoor air quality issues, and other environmental factors that can impact worker health.

8. Radiological hazards: These include exposure to ionizing radiation in industries such as healthcare, nuclear power, and research facilities. Workers exposed to radiation are at risk of developing radiation-related health effects.
