A

Gases under pressure

17
Q

This type ofbhazard arises from the explosion due to rapid expansion or evolution of hases usually in a closed or restricted system

A

Explosion hazards

18
Q

They poses explosion hazards where reactions that result in sudden rapid ruse in temperature if the material that is being heated ehich may become violent

A

Runaway reaction

19

Are hazardous substances that enters the bidy thru absorption, inhalation, injection, injestion.

A

Toxic substances

20
Q

Are chemical agents that causes undesirable response to tissues upon contactbor exposure

A

Irritants

21
Q

Causes depletion of oxygen to the tissues. These caaniy be seen, heard, smelled but can be detected. Examples includes CO, cyanide and phosphine

A

Asphyxians

22
Q

Mainly affects the central nervous system by inducing depressants effect

A

Narcotics or anethetics
