Not directly. It can be a physical hazard. The only connection to chemical hazards is that dangerous chemicals might be stored in glass containers, and released by breakage. Laboratory containers may contain many dangerous chemicals, and individual chemicals that are dangerous if combined.

Mercury in glass thermometers pose a greater health hazard if broken, as mercury is a toxic substance that can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. Alcohol in glass thermometers are considered less hazardous as alcohol is not as toxic as mercury. It is still important to clean up any broken thermometer carefully to avoid injury.
Is a broken mirror a chemical or physical change?
A broken mirror is a physical change, not a chemical change. This is because the process of breaking a mirror alters its shape and structure but does not change its chemical composition. The glass remains glass, regardless of its fragmented state. Thus, the change is purely physical.

How would you differentiate the effect of physical hazard from biological hazard and chemical hazard?
physical hazard affects you physically but a biological or chemical hazard affect you from within. Physical hazards may cause injuries such as broken leg, cuts, wounds, etc. while biological/chemical hazards can cause injuries such as choking, inability to breath, internal bleeding .
