Six steps hazard control process

Identifying

workplace hazards Analyzing the workplace Developing solution Writing solution Writing recommendations Taking action Evaluating the results

Five general hazards

Material

Equipment
Environment People system

13 hazard categories

Acceleration Biological Chemical reactions Electrical Ergonomics Explosives and explosions Flammability and fires Temprature Mechanical Pressure Radiation Toxics Vibration / noise

Identifying hazards
informal

and formal observation programs Comprehensive wide surveys Individual interviews Walk around inspection Documentation review

A written record will help ensure

Assignment

correction Tracking of correction to completion Identification of problems in the control system Identification of problems in the accountability system Identifcation of hazards for which no prevention or control has been planned
