Industrial Hazards
Industrial hazards refer to potential risks and dangers that can occur in workplaces, particularly in manufacturing and production environments. These hazards can arise from various sources, including machinery, chemicals, and electrical systems. Common examples include slips, trips, falls, exposure to toxic substances, and equipment malfunctions.
To mitigate industrial hazards, organizations implement safety measures such as proper training, personal protective equipment (PPE), and regular maintenance of machinery. Regulatory bodies, like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), set guidelines to ensure safe working conditions and reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
