Disaster

It is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.

• Earthquake

• Earthsplit

• Earthshake

• Aftershock

It is a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.

• Cyclone

• Storm

• Typhoon

• Tornado

An avalanche is typically triggered when material on a slope breaks loose from its surroundings; this material then quickly collects and carries additional material down the slope.

• Avalance

• Sinkhole Formation

• Soil Erosion

• Avalanche

When does hazard become a disaster?

• When it can lead into alarm to humans

• When the potential to cause destruction is fulfilled

• When it serves as a threat to human property and life

• When a specific hazard may lead to a destruction

There are 3 characteristics of hazard except;

• KEY HAZARD PARAMETERS

• SPEED OF ONSET

• PROBABILITY OF EVENTS

• PROBABILITY OF OCCURENCE

It is a type of hazard where it can affect employee. But there are more likely to affect those who work with machinery and construction site.

• Safety Hazards

• Biological hazards

• Physical hazards

• Construction Hazards

Mainly threaten employees whose roles expose them to dangerous liquids, solvents or flammable gases.

• Ergonomic Hazards

• Workload Hazards

• Environmental Hazards

• Chemical Hazards

A traffic accident is defined as an accident involving at least one vehicle on a road open to public traffic in which at least a property is damaged and at least 1 person is injured or killed.

• Aircraft Incidents

• War Injuries

• Industrial Explosion

• Transportation Accidents

It is any large system of winds that circulates about a center of low atmospheric pressure in a counterclockwise direction north of the Equator. And in a clockwise direction to the south. Cyclones occur chiefly in the middle and high latitude belts of both hemispheres.

• Hail Storm

• Tornado

• Cayclone

• Cyclone

It is a mathematical methods or equations relating the hazard variables used are formulated to quantify the hazard.

• Qualitative Approach

• Quantification Approach
