Industrial hazards are hazards which occur when one strives for commercial gain in quick time. There are many classifications that can be used to group industrial hazards.

I will just give a few examples of these hazards

1. chemical hazards: solids such as heavy metals i.e lead and asbestos, liquids such as acids and gases such benzene and sulphur (IV) oxide

2. Mechanical hazards such as unguarded machines

3. Biological hazards such as bacteria, insects and viruses

4. Physical hazards such as radiation, magnetic fields, pressure

5. Ergonomic hazards such as the improper setup of a workstation

6. Psychological hazards such as stress and violence

7. Safety hazards such as slipping, improper machine guarding and equipment malfunctions

8. Technological hazards such as industrial pollution, nuclear radiation, toxic wastes and dam failures

9. Environmental hazards

10. Electrical hazards

11. Fire hazards

I have tried as much to give the knowledge I know so if any has additional information they can add to the above
