Cargo Hold Hazards

Cargo hold hazards refer to potential dangers that can arise in the storage areas of ships, planes, or trucks where goods are loaded. These hazards can include flammable materials, toxic substances, or goods that may leak, spill, or create pressure. Poor ventilation can also lead to harmful fumes accumulating. Additionally, improper stacking of cargo can cause items to shift or fall, posing risks to workers and equipment. Understanding these hazards is crucial for ensuring safety during loading, transport, and unloading of goods. Proper training, labeling, and safety protocols help mitigate these risks.
