As per the question we have to discuss the elements of hazard, vulnerable groups, prevention and examples of physical, biological and chemical hazards.

For Biological Hazards-

Elements of hazard: Bacteria, viruses, and parasitic protozoa and worms

Vulnerable groups: Individuals with a Suppressed Immune System, Unimmunized Individuals, Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women and Their Children, Chronically Sick, Debilitated and Elderly People, Children

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.
