Useful terminology that you can use in Safe Work Procedures and other documents.

for all	Does this come from a standard? If so, which? Ttenbergen (talk) 21:10, 2024 October 16 (CDT) No, just things that I thought were concise and effective at the time I wrote this for the SWP template document. I haven't been able to find any standard system beyond WHMIS -John The pictographs in ISO7010 might be a starting point. Big list, though. Reading through what you have, does it need an eye hazard? Re the distinction with chemical ones, aren't those two more a result than a hazard? I mean, stuff gets on you (airway, skin, eye, digestive tract) and then has that effect. So wouldn't the route be the hazard (as you have with inhalation) and the chemical portion the "what does it do there" in addition to allergies or acute toxicity? Somehow I am sure a standard exists for this. I'll ask someone I met at a mediawiki conference who does risk analysis for NASA. If he doesn't know one I will concede there is no such thing :-) Ttenbergen (talk) 09:59, 2024 October 19 (CDT)

General Hazards

Crush: The equipment can crush body parts (due to weight or force), causing broken bones and lacerations.

Electrical Shock: Equipment can deliver an electrical shock if used improperly.

Entanglement: The equipment can grab any loose hair, clothing, or accessories and suck the user into the motors or blades, causing injury or death.

Equipment Damage: The equipment can be damaged.

Fire: Flammable materials (workpiece, fixtures/tools, clothing, nearby materials) can ignite.

Inhalation: Gases or inhalable particulate matter that results in lung irritation, allergic reactions, toxic reactions, or long-term health effects.

Laceration: Operation involves sharp edges, blades, or corners.

Noise: Operation produces noise that exceeds the maximum noise exposure allowable by law.

Pinch: The equipment can pinch the user's skin, causing laceration without damaging the bone.

Projectile: Objects can be launched at high speeds, striking the user.
