What is a safety hazard in work?

A safety hazard in work is anything that can cause harm or injury to a worker. This could include anything from physical hazards, such as slippery surfaces or exposed wires, to chemical hazards, such as toxic fumes or flammable materials. It also includes biological hazards, such as bacteria or viruses, and psychological hazards, such as stress or bullying. Employers are required to take steps to identify and eliminate or minimize safety hazards in their workplaces, and to provide workers with training and equipment to protect themselves from harm.
