Answer:

Industrial hazard may be defined as any condition produced by industries that may cause injury or death to personnel or loss of product or property. Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence of risk or injury or loss.

Examples of Workplace Hazards:

Biological Hazards.

Chemical Hazards.

Physical Hazards.

Safety Hazards.

Ergonomic Hazards.

Psychosocial Hazards.

Understand and know the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) five types of workplace hazards and take steps to mitigate employee risk.

Safety: Safety hazards encompass any type of substance, condition or object that can injure workers. In many types of workplaces they can include spills on floors, walkways blocked by cords or boxes, falls from heights, machinery with moving parts, confined spaces and electrical hazards such as frayed cords.

Chemical:  Workers can be exposed to chemicals in liquids, gases, vapors, fumes and particulate materials. Chemical hazards include acids, pesticides, carbon monoxide,  flammable liquids, welding fumes, silica dust and fiberglass fibers.

Biological: Employees who work with other people, with animals or with infectious materials can be exposed to biological hazards such as blood, fungi, mold, viruses and animal droppings.

Physical:  A physical hazard can injure workers with or without contact. These types of hazards include radiation, working in extreme heat or cold, spending hours under the sun or being constantly exposed to loud noise.

Ergonomic: Ergonomic related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for 33% of all employee injury and illness cases. These types of hazards occur when repetitive work, the type of work, or a certain position strains the body. These are the most difficult hazards to spot because problems build up over time.

Conclusion:

Minimizing or eliminating workplace hazards need not be time-consuming or even expensive. Being aware of possible hazards can increase productivity, prevent illness, reduce days off and save lives.
