The term 'other hazards' includes:

The term 'other hazards' encompasses a variety of risks that may not traditionally fall under standard hazard categories but significantly impact safety and well-being in confined spaces. Psycho-social stressors are included in this classification because they can lead to mental fatigue, anxiety, or even behavioral changes that affect an individual's ability to work safely. In environments where workers are subjected to confined spaces, the potential for stress from isolation, claustrophobia, or prolonged exposure to challenging conditions can exacerbate risks. Recognizing psycho-social factors is vital for maintaining a safety-conscious environment and enhancing the overall health of workers.

The other terms, while related to safety, refer to more specific categories of hazards. Environmental regulations pertain to compliance measures and legal standards rather than direct hazards. Chemical hazards deal primarily with the substances that could pose physical risks or health issues, and visual distractions relate to physical impediments to attention and focus. While all these aspects are important in the context of confined space safety, psycho-social stressors uniquely address the mental and emotional dimensions of worker health and safety.
