| 2. Slip, trips, and falls | In the construction site, there is unequal terrain and the typography is changing forever, so the trips, slips, and falls are the associated risk. |
| 3. Material handling – manual and by equipment (Eldejany, 2019). | Equipment and materials are lifted constantly at the construction site, so there is a risk of back pain and improper posture (Arum, et al., 2019). |
| Hazardous material on site | Associate risk |
| 1. Cleaning chemicals | Due to cleaning chemicals a risk of breathing and skin diseases. |
| What Personal protective equipment, the person role playing in the video should wear to protect from risks? | PPE must be worn by the person role-playing in the video. The PPE will be helpful to him to protect them from the risk (Aigbavboa, et al., 2019). |
Part B: Report the hazards and associated risks:
In part A above, you have already Identified hazards and one associated risk with each hazard and identify to whom will you report these risks.
