Most people understand the hazards when people work as a fireman, policeman, construction worker, or an electrician. But, there are also hazards in the office setting. If you work as a teacher, unfortunately you may have an unruly student that you may have to subdue. Some hazards can be terrorism and conflict between employees and management. Those are a few issues that can be hazardous to employees. You can also speak about carpal tunnel syndrome; which can happen with improper seating in the office. This can be very painful. I have coworkers"who wear items to help"protect their"wrist."You computer can be dangerous to the eyes so you can purchase shields to place over your monitor. I know that this issue has really effected me. I can no longer see my screen without glasses. I can see faraway but the closer an object is I am blind. I do believe that companies today are attempting to work hard at making the workplace safe, but they still have a long way to goResponse 2There are hazards on all types of jobs such as where I worked. I worked in a factory for years and every day you have to be very watchful of how you do things. You can get caught in machines, run over by lifts, have to carry heavy packages and that is to just name a few. There are also chemicals that the company uses that you have to wear safety equipment whenusing like safety gloves, glasses, and steel toed shoes. I have seen some people who were highly allergic to the chemicals and they would have to be sent to the doctor.My job required me to stand on concrete for eight hours a day and that can really wear on your back and feet. Carpal tunnel or tendentious is a hazard if you have to work at repetitive jobs. I have severe tendentious in my right hand and wear a brace when it flairs up. My machines were push button so your hands were always in repetitive motion.Cardboard will slice right through your hands when packing up products if you do not wear safety gloves. Hanging coils of metal is a big hazard especially if you do not know what you are doing. You have to constantly check your hooks and chains to make sure there is no breaks in the chains because if it breaks while loading you could get seriously hurt or killed.A lot of the stuff was highly flammable, so it had to be kept in a special area that was contained.

Just sitting all day weakens your muscles, which makes it easier to hurt your back if you have to lift something.The biggest hazard, though is not being informed of what all the hazards are within the company.DQ 2Based on the other discussion questions, suggest policies employers may put in place to prevent harm from the possible hazards.Employees may encounter health hazards at work from chemicals, excessive dirt and dust, poor air quality and mold (especially in Hawaii’s wet climate).

Stress is also a health hazard, but it is hard to identify as people handle it differently and it can cause anything from headaches, changes in mood, fatigue and other illnesses.My personal crusade is to have contagiously sick workers stay home. It is a health hazard when sick employees infect others and start a mini epidemic. I used to have a can of Lysol and sanitary wipes in my desk. If a sick person came near me, they got one warning and thenI sprayed them with Lysol. I would also wipe down copy machines, fax machines, door handles and other common surfaces. People in my office got sick less often than in the main office and even the manager would kick people out of his office if they were sick.Response 2Based on the other discussion questions, suggest policies employers may put in place to prevent harm from the possible hazards?"""" I would have to say the biggest policies that a company could put into affect is that every employee must wear the proper safety equipment. The next biggest policy would be to properly maintain the companies equipment on a regular bases and keep the equipment running in tip top shape in order to protect its employees.
