Job Hazards
A job hazard is anything at work that can hurt you either physically or mentally.
Safety hazards can cause immediate accidents and injuries.
Examples: knives, hot grease, etc.
Chemical hazards are gases, vapors, liquids, or dusts that can harm your body.
Examples: cleaning products or pesticides.
![Page 17: You will learn about: Ways young workers can get hurt on the job](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56812c80550346895d912fe5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Job Hazards (continued)
Biological hazards are living things that can cause sickness or disease. Examples: Bacteria, viruses, or insects.
Other health hazards are harmful things, not in other categories, that can injure you or make you sick. They are sometimes less obvious because they may not cause health problems right away. Examples: noise, radiation, repetitive
movements, heat, cold, stress.

Making the Job Safer: Key Points
OSHA requires employers to provide a safe workplace.
It’s best to get rid of a hazard completely, if possible.
If your employer can’t get rid of the hazard, there are usually many ways to protect you from it.
