Which is NOT one of the four hazard categories?

• A. Chemical Hazards
• B. Financial Hazards
• C. Physical Hazards
• D. Biological Hazards

Answer: (B)

Hazard categories in health and safety focus on the types of exposures that can harm people. The four commonly recognized categories are chemical hazards, physical hazards, biological hazards, and ergonomic hazards. Financial hazards don’t fit this framework because they relate to money, budgeting, or financial risk rather than a workplace exposure that could cause physical harm or illness. So the item describing financial hazards is not one of the four hazard categories. The other options align with actual hazard types: chemical, physical, and biological hazards represent real workplace exposure risks.
