biological hazard
1.0 Introduction
Based on the journal “ National Hazard Exposure Worker Surveillance: Exposure To Biological Hazards And The Provision Of Controls Against Biological Hazards In Australian Workplaces”, shows that the percentage of the health sector recorded the highest employment exposed exposed to biological hazards. Therefore, this study is to see more about the biological hazards in the health sector. Therefore, this study will reveal the types of biological agents that can be harmful to health, that the spread of biological danger to the health sector employees, the types of biological hazards and methods to control biological hazards. This study uses a method based on the observation that touches five journals with respect to biological hazards, namely:

2. Biological Agents: Managing The Risks In Laboratories And Healthcare Premises

2.0 What is biological agents
According to Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (2002), biological agents have been defined as “a micro-organism, cell culture, or human endoparasite, whether or not genetically modified, which may cause infection, allergy, toxicity, or otherwise create a hazard to human health.” Basically biological hazard affected the workers who work in healthcare industries. There are several types of biological materials which can affect workers in the healthcare sector. For instance through blood, tissues, urine, saliva and so on. As biological agents are something that cannot be seen with our naked eyes, so it can be easily
