MAN-MADE HAZARDS A hazard is a forceful natural or man-made event with the potential to adversely affect human life and property‚ or the environment. Natural hazards are a normal consequence of the internal and external forces that are constantly transforming the earth (e.g.‚ earthquakes‚ hurricanes‚ tornadoes‚ volcanoes‚ etc.). Man-made hazards arise from deliberate human actions (e.g.‚ war‚ terrorism‚ humanitarian emergencies‚ etc.) that are usually predictable and preventable. They may also arise

Hazards in the healthcare Workplace Hazards is anything that can cause harm or injury to someone‚ hazards are everywhere‚ some hazards cannot be eliminated complete‚ but it can be substitute to something less dangerous‚ and reduce the risk of injuries or accident. Most of the hazards can be preventable. To prevent an accident to happen‚ first the hazards must be identified‚ once the hazards were identified‚ assess the risks‚ for example who is at risks and what can be done to eliminate the hazards

Hierarchy of Control The Hierarchy of Control is a list of control measures‚ in priority order‚ that can be used to eliminate or minimise exposure to the hazard. It consists of two levels Consider elimination before all other options. LEVEL 1 1st Priority Elimination of Hazard LEVEL 2 Minimisation Options which substantially reduce the risk. 2nd Priority Substitution 3rd Priority Engineering 4th Priority Administration Last Priority P.P.E.

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. It can be said that it’s easier to predict an event than prevent it‚ however prediction does have a positive impact on the effects of a volcanic hazard. Firstly‚ the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored

Environmental Hazards Kenya Lewis Environmental science Instructor: Donald Demoulin Everest University June 11‚ 2011 What are the four categories of human environmental hazards? Culture Hazards are a person risky choice of their lifestyle. People engage in risky behavior and subject themselves to hazards. They may smoke cigarettes‚ eat too much‚ drive too fast‚ use addictive and harmful drugs‚ consume alcoholic beverage‚ sunbathe‚ engage in risky sexual practices‚ get too little exercise

associated to the hazards. In the forthcoming paragraphs we will discuss in detail hazards‚ risks associated to hazards and how preventive measures can be taken to minimise the risks of any accident with reference to the Restaurants (McDonalds Restaurants Ltd). Before to go further one should know what hazard means and how it can be defined. The most common definition of the word Hazard is‚ “A potential source of harm or adverse health effect on a person or persons”. The word hazard has many definitions

Introduction: Briefly answer the question asked: “Why do similar kinds of hazards have different impacts in different places?” Talk about the risk vulnerability quadrant. Talk about the risk equation and how it will link to the question. P1: Point: Economic situation of the country affected by the disaster - Lots of money = better health cares to treat affected people. Little money = little spent to rebuild‚ plan‚ prepare‚ predict hazards so impact is greater. Explain: If they have more money than they
