    Biological Hazard

    Refer to organisms that are harmful to


    human health
    Exposed to airborne and blood borne viruses,
    bacteria and fungus
    Spread through
    1- respiratory system
    2- contact with body fluids
    3- contact with contaminated objects

    Soures Of Biological Hazards

    Exposure to infective and parasitic agents


    For Example:
    Activity: Concrete work / handling cement
    Effect: skin cancer/ skin infection / skin
    injuries

    Microorganism (Bacteria, virus)


    For Exampe:
    ` Activity: during remove rust on
    reinfocrement and mould cleaning
    Effect : risk of tetanus caused by bateria
    producing toxin that harmful for
    health

    Mites, Insect bite, dog bite, snake bite (Aedes)


    For example:
    Activity: Site clearance
    Effect : causes dengeu fever, chikungunya
    virus

    Plant origin like fungus, yeasts and mold


    For example:
    Activity: Site clearance
    Effect: Poisonous infection from poison
    plants like Abrus precatorius
    (Akar Belimbing, Akar Saga)
    can cause blindness

    Prevention

    Employee health program


    Laboratory Safety Program
    Animal care and Handling
    Biological Safety Cabinets
    Buildding/ Engineering Design
    Environmental monitoring
    - Check air quality (monitoring air contiminants)
    - Workers expossures
    Ventilation
    - Control of atmospheric contaminants to
    healthful level
    - Control of heat and humidity for comfort
