• are workplace hazards that increase the likelihood or severity of fires

  Fire hazards
• the three elements a fire needs to ignite

  heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen).
• naturally occurs when the elements are present and combined in the right mixture.


  Fire
• Are any substances that threaten the health of living organisms.

  Biological hazards
• Shoretened term for Biological Hazards?

  Biohazards
• The key to distinguishing a biological hazard from other risks is the threat from a

  biological source
• What hazard can be manufactured or exist in the environment

  Chemical Hazard
• Biohazards have two types these are?

  biological agent or a biotoxin
• Are often invisible to the naked eye

  Primary sources
• typically refers to an organism that can directly cause human disease, like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi (like mold).

  Biological Agents
• a toxic or poisonous substance with a biological origin. Plants, bacteria, insects, or animals can produce biotoxins. Biotoxins can persist in the environment even after the living thing that created them has died.

  Biotoxins
• isn't inherently dangerous to human life or health, but it can contain a biological agent that does.

  Human Blood, Blood Products, and Sharps
• potential vectors of blood-toblood transmission like needles and other


  sharps
• bodily material or fluid that can transmit disease – other bodily substances can also be hazardous to human health.

  Other Human Bodily Matter
• Animal diseases are transferrable to humans by what/

  Animal Waste and Products
• any substance that used to be a living thing or was produced by a living thing.

  Organic Matter
• Outdoor workers (and even some indoor workers) can be at risk of found in the area.

  Biting or Stinging Insects
• Medical or clinical staff at risk of


  bloodborne pathogens like HIV
• Workers at risk of environmental pathogens

  mold or Legionnaires' Disease
• First responders or researchers at risk of


  weaponized biological agents like anthrax
• Anyone who may be exposed to people

  infectious diseases like COVID-19
• Hepatitis is a biohazard, enumerate where you can acquire Hepa A,B, and C


  A - Foodborne B&C - bloodborne
• Snake venom is an example of a biological hazard that's a biotoxin because?

  of it is botulism (produced by botulinum bacteria) or ricin (produced by plants).
• botulism is produced by?

  botulinum bacteria
• Ricin is produced by?

  plants
• Biotoxins can be what?

  naturally-occurring or weaponized
• Examples of Hazardous human blood, blood products, and Sharps


  blood, plasma, serum, white blood cells, platelets, and pathological samples like human tissue (which contains blood).
• Sharps


  usually refer to used needles, scalpels, and other cutting or pricking instruments.
• Examples of Hazardous Human Bodily Matter


  saliva, urine, mucus, vomit, and feces.
• Examples of Hazardous Animal Waste and Animal Products


  avian flu, animal products or waste, from raw milk to soiled straw bedding.
• Examples of Hazardous Organic Matter


  garbage, wastewater, sewage, plant material, and organic dust.
• Examples of Hazardous Biting or Stinging Insects


  bees, wasps, scorpions, spiders, and fire ants.
