"Special hazardous health operations" refer to types of work where certain harmful factors present in the workplace may pose significant risks to workers' health. These harmful factors are typically categorized into the following types: *Chemical factors: Such as toxic gases, dust, heavy metals, etc., which can affect the respiratory system, skin, or other organs. *Physical factors: Including noise, radiation, extreme temperatures, or vibrations that may harm hearing, vision, or overall physical health. *Biological factors: Such as pathogens, bacteria, viruses, or fungi that could cause infections or other health issues. *Ergonomic factors: Poor work postures, excessive fatigue, or repetitive motions that can lead to musculoskeletal problems. To protect workers' health, many countries have implemented strict laws and regulations to manage and monitor these operations.
