Ergonomic Hazards

These hazards relate to how “worker friendly” the worker’s working environment is.  Working under unfavourable conditions can cause discomfort and injury.  Factors like having to stand for long periods, working in cramped spaces, not having adequate ventilation, etc. can all cause discomfort and eventual injury.  The hazard is present in the working condition and the risk is the injury that could happen as a result of the hazard.
