A hazard, Cosmetic companies deal with a lot is dangerous or toxic chemicals while making their
products for example toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, dibutyl and methylene glycol. To protect
employees from these dangerous chemicals they should be wearing the right equipment to such as
goggles so no chemicals gets in there eyes. They should also be covering their skin by wearing gloves
and a lab coat. The legislation that protects these employees is the personal protective
equipment(PPE) regulation.
Cosmetic companies also deal with high levels of noise from large analysers, compressors or
outdated vacuums. Loud noises often causes hearing loss or tinnitus, to protect the employees they
should be given earplugs or noise cancelling headphones. The legislation that protects the
employees from loud noises is noise at work regulation.
Another hazard is manual handing.employee could suffer from back pain or other injuries. This could
be prevented by giving employees safe manual handling procedures and using certain equipment to
, make their jobs easier such as lift truck, wheelbarrows or a trolly. The legislation that protects these
employees is the manual handing operations regulation.

Sites for research and development may contain possible risks that differ depending on the
particular scientific working environment.for example Rem beauty is a company that creates
makeup and skincare so to achiever great products they must have safe testing environments. One
activity they carry out is using liquid products. A hazard that may occur could be as simple as
spillages or getting into your eyes but the potential harms are high because it causes blindness and
tripping and falling which concludes in in broken bones and sprains.Another activity is finding out
the boiling points of certain chemicals to create products. The hazard is high temperatures. This
could cause heat burn or a fire if the chemicals are corrosive and flammable. An activity in a research
and development site is handling and mixing different types of chemicals to make either a
highlighter or foundation etc. chemical spills is a hazard that could take place. This could cause a
serious illness or burns. It could also damage your eyesight if it gets into or close to your eye.
Many different things are done at a manufacturing facility. For example carrying out heavy
equipments. When you carry heavy equipments and products for a long period of time or use the
wrong lifting techniques it could cause injuries, back pains, sprains or loss of mobility. Another
activity that happens in a manufacturing site is packaging products that contains glassware. A hazard
that could take place is sharp objects or glass breaking. This could harm you by cutting you if skin is
exposed. Accessing raw resources is a further activity. A hazard that could happen is the exposure of
chemicals and high temperatures. This could give you a heat burn/ chemical burn if you do not wear
a lab coat or if you do not follow the personal protective equipment (PPE).
