Prevention : Laboratory containment, Separate areas, Protective clothing, Safety cabinets, Decontamination, Recombinant DNA techniques, Levels of containment.
Examples: Human blood and blood products, Animal waste, Human bodily matter, Microbiological waste
For Physical Hazards-
Vulnerable groups: Certain people or households are more at risk from environmental hazards because they are:
- Less able to avoid them (e.g. living in a settlement lacking provision for protected water, sanitation and drainage).
- More affected by them (e.g. infants are at much greater risk of death from diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections than older groups).
- Less able to cope with the illness, injury or premature death they cause (e.g. persons who cannot afford treatment from a doctor or medicine).
Prevention: wear proper gear while working, work according to what your physical conditions allows
Examples: Noisy machines, Working on a vibrating platform, driving farm tractors or other heavy vehicles, especially on rough terrain, Exposure to electro magnetic waves, lights and lasers.
