INTRODUCTION
Occupational hygiene is a type of discipline of anticipating, evaluating, controlling and
recognising the health hazards in the working environment. The objective of this concept to
protect the employee health and also establish the safety environment at large manner. This
concept will determine the practices of hazardous agents, physical, biological and chemical at
workplace. It causes the discomfort and hazardous disease which evaluating the extent of risk
due to the exposure of hazardous agents. It will required fir control the risk and prevent the
human health of long terms at workplace. This report will discuss about the chemical hazardous
agent such as Neurotoxins that affect the functionality of nerve tissue of human body. It causes
drinking alcohol and other liquid that inhibit the neuron control over the concentration across the
cell membrane in human body. At workplace, many employees are attracted towards the alcohol
drinking products because it is a part of society and communities but it negatively impact on the
body. This assignment will describe the reason of hazardous agent at workplace and how
employee may be exposed. Furthermore, this report will describe the process of hazard agent and
also identify the physico-chemical properties or their internal mechanism. Why the hazard
present a risk to the employee health which includes both chronic health effects and acute.
However, this report will describe that how could be monitored and analyse in an appropriate
manner. It will specify the proper code of practices, standards and method applicable in the
exposure.
MAIN BODY
Part 1
Definition of Neurotoxin Hazardous agent
Neurotoxin is a type of toxin agent that can destruct to the nerve tissue. It is an extensive
class of exogenous chemical which secrete neurological insults. It also adversely affect the
overall functionality in both ways such as mature nervous tissue and developing. It has ability to
specify the target neural component which is important for study about the system. It is the most
common hazardous agent at workplace (Korres, 2019). It causes due to drink alcohol and liquid
substances that directly harm the human body. There are many type of alcohol dinks available in
market and many people can use them in office parties with colleagues. It is a type of culture

where all people are attracted towards but sometimes, it is the most dangerous problem arises in
human health. Nitric oxide and other glutamate which are essential for proper function of human
body but the excessive neurotoxic affect at the concentrations.
How deals with Hazard agent at workplace
Occupational regarding the exposure to the toxins is important causes of neurological
disorders, especially in terms of chronic encephalopathy and acute. On the other hand, the
manifestations of neurotoxic disorder is to be considered as reference to heavy metals, pesticides
and other organic solvent. Toxins and poisons chemical can cause the neuropathy. It happen
through the chemical abuse and exposure to the chemical at workplace in the environment. It is
based on the long term exposure (Sargent, 2018). After the exposure of toxic chemical, it is
difficult for prevention because it is the fast process that can enter in body through liquid and
other things. An employees are not exposed to the neurotoxic agent and will never develop any
type of adverse neurotoxic health effect from the hazard substances. While the employee should
be regularly check their medical examination. It is evaluation by the occupational and other
medical specialist’s employee health surveillance. There are different ways to deals with the
neurotoxin hazardous agent at workplace.
Toxicity testing- if the new chemical compound found into the workplace and the occupational
setting should have been tested to their neurotoxicity (Vincent, 2018). It can lead to employees
contact and potential severs adverse the health impacts. For Example- in US, it can introduced
the methyl n butyl into workplace. This is the best example of possible hazards of untested toxin
launch at workplace.
Personal Protection Equipment- It is necessary for employee to use the personal protection
equipment that must be provided. At workplace, It easy for exposure of neurotoxin at any type of
work condition (Landberg, Westberg and Tinnerberg, 2018 ). It is required to select the best
equipment according to the situation and conditions. For Example- The respiratory protection
equipment use and adopted as person hygiene which measure to prevent the consumption of lead
contaminated beverage and alcohol products. It is based on the planning at workplace where all
people may use the protective equipment in proper manner.
Administrative Controls- It is a type of managerial efforts that help for reduce the hazards at
workplace through training, planning, job sites, training and changes in the production method
