Discussion
a) A brief discussion on the hazard and its risk level
Physical Hazard - Mechanical engineers and mechanics often work on-site to overhaul,
manufacturing, or install various types of machinery. Different kinds of machinery are extremely
hazardous that they can damage even those who do not indirectly contact them, such as moving
and rotating parts of machines. Not only this, but most of the time, the workforce also falls prey
to intolerable noise, the extremely hot atmosphere that can blight the human workforce working
on-site(1).
Chemical Hazard - Different chemicals are used in the development of heavy machine tools
and parts that cause harmful repercussions to the workforce, which is in direct contact with them.
Several chemicals are flammable and easily cause air pollution, such as coke production during
the producing process releases massive chemical compounds in the air that are breathed in and
