Abstract

Airborne hazards in the workplace cause illness and fatalities when dust and chemicals are inhaled at a workplace (UKHSE 2015). Besides breathing in airborne dust, another danger is that explosions start when dust ignites from sparking machinery especially from circular saws (Hedlund et al. 2014). The amount and type of airborne dust is regulated by the HSE. The Quantitative Risk Management Framework was identified as practical method for evaluating and finding solutions to control airborne dusts that cause explosions and health problems.

It is important to note first the characteristics of the organism before naming. In the scientific world, taxonomy is the universal language in which scientists from different nations understood each other because of the Latinized classifications as a result of the physical attributes, performance, lifespan, location of the discovery, cell structure, ...
