Now that the structure and formatting of our userform is more or less done, we have decided to divert more of our attention towards its main content, i.e the hazards definitions, lists, as well as whether to include it or not.
Firstly, prior research to this had to be done. The material that we used also had to give us a wider perspective on what we aimed to accomplish. As such, reading material from various sources was what we did.
However, we also decided as Singapore had one of the most stringent standards when coming to risk assessment, as well as the fact that our users for this user form would be based here in singaopore, taking the singapore standard as our base shouldnt mislead us too much.
Our sources include:
mom.gov.sg
epa.gov/riskassessment
hse.gov.uk
bfr.bund.de/en/home.html
groups.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis375/projects/risktable/risks.html

now that the current hazards list is finalized, images will be uploaded after mid point review

We have arrived at a unanimous decision that macros is much more useful than just doing the usual excel, even though it is much more complicated, most of our user forms has been based on VBA.
Seeing that we have to do a basic of 3 types of ra, for office, lab, and plant, we began to construct the simplest one; office ra and turns out, it isnt as simple as we thought.

Also, our list of hazards and its details are still being constructed but through research and expanding our list, our current hazards is as so.

Mechanical hazard: Moving parts, loose parts that can be detached

Physical hazard: Heavy objects, sharp objects, objects that can cause scrapes, cuts and bruises

Chemical hazard: Corrosive chemicals, irritants, chemicals with extreme pH, highly volatile chemicals, carcinogenic chemicals

Knocking hazard: Sharp or hard protruding parts

Fire hazard: Flammable substances, surfaces with high temperatures, objects that can cause ignition

Freezing hazard: Surfaces with extremely cold temperature, sub zero environments, substances kept at extremely low temperatures

Toxic hazard: Liquids or gases that will cause adverse effects on our health when come close to

Electrical hazard: Objects using electricity, electrical outputs, electrical conductors

Radiation hazard: Objects that radioactive

Noise hazard: Loud noises that can cause hearing impairment, sounds that will affect your ability to work

Biological hazards: Bacteria, viruses, microorganisms

Visual hazards: Bright lights (Welding)

Environmental hazards: CFCs, pollutants
