There is a highly significant positive correlation (P-value <0.01) between physical hazards and prevention and control methods (r= 0.144 * ); a highly significant positive correlation (P-value <0.01) between chemical hazards, and prevention and control methods (r= 0.770 * ).where the chemical hazard reached to241(54.6%) while followed physical hazards reached to 196(44.4%) the results also showed Weighted Mean for physical hazard equal 3.28±0.67which is within the medium level risk.
