, 3. Physical hazards ANS >>> Hazards posed by physical aspects of the
environment; exam- ples include radiation, noise, thermal stress, mechanical
hazards, etc
4. Biological hazards ANS >>> Bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi which are
capable of causing illness in humans
5. Ergonomic hazards ANS >>> Workplace hazards related to the design and
condition of the workplace. For example, a workstation that requires constant
overhead work is an ergonomic hazard.
6. Psychological hazards ANS >>> Conditions of work which cause psychological
stress to the worker
7. Steps of a Task Hazard analysis ANS >>> 1. List critical (major) steps of the task
2. Identify potential hazards at each step
3. Review available control measures
4. Verify the task, ensuring they follow proper procedures and use all required
effectiveness of controls

, 5. If current control measures are not adequate, identify more appropriate controls
8. Area monitoring ANS >>> Used to measure the level of contaminant in a specific
area
9. Personal monitoring ANS >>> Measurement of the level of contaminant in a
person's exposure zone
10. Biological monitoring ANS >>> Measures the presence of a hazardous
substance in a person or the effects on metabolism
11. Standards ANS >>> Established parameters for regulatory purposes
12. Classes of control measures ANS >>> Engineering
controls Administrative controls
Personal controls (PPE)
13. Engineering controls ANS >>> Include actions, items, or equipment designed to
reduce harmful exposures.
