Employees in this role may encounter a range of workplace hazards across environmental, activity-related, and ergonomic categories. Environmental hazards include spill potential, exposure to extreme heat or cold, and an increased risk of slip, trip, and fall incidents. Activity-related hazards may involve working around electrical cords and tools, energized equipment, and potential burn or heat sources, all of which can pose safety risks if not properly managed. Daily job functions can contribute to these risks-for example, extended time at a workstation may lead to back, shoulder, hand, arm injuries, and eye strain, while prolonged standing can result in strains, sprains, and leg or knee discomfort. Walking throughout the building presents additional risks of slips, trips, falls, and strain injuries, particularly in cluttered or wet areas. Employees who handle maintenance equipment or perform heavy lifting may also face hazards such as equipment-related injuries, lifting loads over 50 pounds, and general strain risks.
