Report on monitoring process
Q1. Hazards can be classified on the basis of the nature of its occu
ence. They are as follows:
1. Physical Hazard: This might be caused by abnormality in physical factors like wet floors, open electrical wires, protruding objects kept in the pathway etc.
2. Ergonomic hazards: Hazards caused due to heavy lifting, excessive stretching, poor desk sitting etc. which might cause due to poor shape.
3. Psychological Hazards: Hazards which make direct impact on mind like high sounds decibels, passing through tunnel,
ight flash lights, heights etc.
4. Environmental hazard: Which is caused by environmental factors like high room temperature in database center, contamination in ventilation system, acid leakage in the water supply etc.
5. Biological Hazards: Biological diseases like Hepatitis B, SARS, swine flue etc. are some of the example which can cause biological hazards.
6. Radiation Hazards: Hazards caused by exposure of radiation like gamma radiation in research plant, radioactive radiation in nuclear plant etc.
Hazards can be become a disaster if appropriate steps are not taken to control it at the right point of time. For example, a radiation coming out from a nuclear plant can be disastrous for residents nea
y if it is not controlled in limited time. The workers who are working in hazard prone areas might be affected by hazardous substances depending on the type of exposure they are prone with. For example, staff working in a hospital where air borne disease is prevailing and appropriate precaution is not taken then it can enter the body by
eathing process. In case of industries, where x-rays, beta rays, UV rays etc. are used, it can enter the body of person normal by skin exposure if appropriate suit is not wore by them. These substances can have a severe affect on the health of the workers depending on the type of exposure they get. For high decibel regions, excessive stay in that area can cause deafening of ears. In case of manufacturing industries, exposure to radiation can cause skin burns and also be fatal,
eathing contaminated air can cause slow death or even immediate depending on the level of contamination. (Foodsmart, 2018)
Q2. The monitoring device that is being used depends on the purpose that it is solving. For example, temperature measuring equipment require special attention when they are physically touched and made use of. To ensure the equipment is not contaminated, the device should be washed properly before taking it in use to avoid infection. In case of inadequate response from the device, it is prefe
ed that device is replaced. To avoid leakage from the device, it should be kept in proper case when the work is done in optimum situations. Sometimes, the equipment may give improper results while testing. It is advisable to cali
ate the device before taking it in use.
There are various methods in which unserviceable equipment can be disposed. The process depends on the mode which gives maximum benefit to the owner. In case of government property, public bidding is one of the methods which can also be done in open auction format. When the above process does not give required results, sale can be done via negotiations. Transfe
ing to other parties is done when the equipment is no longer useful and can be used by other authorities. In case there is no commercial value that can be fetched out of the equipment, then destroying...
