Which of the following definitions describes a physical hazard?
A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
B) These hazards can lead to injuries to the joints or muscles by way of heavy, frequent lifting, repetitive tasks.
C) Can be present in dust, fumes, liquids, solids, mists, vapors, or gases of products used at a site or released during a construction job
D) Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungus, mold, or viruses that can cause illness.

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) The most commonly thought of hazard in construction. This hazard includes radiation, extreme temperatures, noise, and vibration.
Explanation:
A physical hazard is defined as "A factor within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it."
Vibration and noise are examples of physical hazards.
Physical hazards include but aren't limited to electricity, radiation, pressure, noise, heights and vibration amongst many others.
Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.
Because the electrons in the atom's higher energy levels can separate from the atoms easily, they can be pulled out with very little energy. Because the molecular structure of the metal is such that 'free electrons' are free to move, thus being categorized as electrically conductive.
For example, copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity.
