To make it easy to understand what can harm you at home, here is how you at them. There are five categories of health and safety hazards that can injure or make you ill.
- Physical Hazards. It can be slip, trip and fall from the stair that you walk up and down everyday. It can be electric shock from home appliances. It can be sharp knife in your kitchen, or a nail in your garden. It can be heat from stoves that you have just turned it off. Can you name any thing more than these?
- Chemical hazards. We use a lot of cleaning agents to clean toilet. Mainly, are corrosive. We use so many pesticide to kill ants, mosquito, and so on. The termite man come to spray chemicals that he said, safe for pets every were. Do not forget medicine that our child can reach.
- Biological Hazards At home, when someone sneeze, we all get it. No need to explain more about contagious disease can spread easily from one family members to another. Biological hazards at home can also be, poisonous insects, snakes, animals. This is also counting bed bug, dust mites that cause you lifelong allergy.
- Ergonomically Hazards To be very sincere, when working at home, our working chair, desk, bla bla bla, are not really ergonomically design. It is cheaper to get it from Lazada than buying the expensive ergo-chair. When working at home, we not really care much about bending our back to lift very heavy rose pots. We sprain our muscle at home than in the office.
- Psychological Hazards. At home is a place where we usually show emotion, anger, stress and love. Ask yourself, who make you more stressful between your boss and your family members?
