Assessing physical hazards involves identifying the source of the hazard, evaluating the level of exposure, and determining the potential health effects. This process typically includes:
1. Hazard Identification: Recognizing the presence of potential physical hazards in the environment. 2. Exposure Assessment: Measuring or estimating the intensity, frequency, and duration of exposure to the hazard. 3. Risk Characterization: Evaluating the likelihood and severity of adverse health effects resulting from exposure.
