classification of hazards
Answers
GHS Hazard Classification. GHS uses three hazard classes: Health Hazards, Physical Hazards and Environmental Hazards. These aren't required by OSHA. Health hazards present dangers to human health (i.e. breathing or vision) while physical hazards cause damage to the body (like skin corrosion).
There are four types of hazards that you need to consider:
Microbiological hazards. Microbiological hazards include bacteria, yeasts, moulds and viruses.
Chemical hazards. ...
Physical hazards. ...
Allergens.
A category 1 hazard relates to the score from a HHSRS assessment for a particular hazard. For example, if an officer assessed the hazard of Excess Cold and it scored over 1000 it would be a category 1 hazard and the council must take action to remove or reduce the hazard.
In addition to the broad systematic and unsystematic risks, there are several specific types of risk, including:
Credit or Default Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a borrower will be unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on its debt obligations. ...
Country Risk. ...
Interest Rate Risk. ...
Political Risk. ...
