MODULE THREE: IDENTIFYING HAZARDS

Introduction

The first step in controlling workplace hazards is to first identify them. We want to determine what hazards are present. Once hazards are identified, you'll conduct an analysis to examine more closely the nature of the hazard.

Analysis requires that each item or component be examined to see how it relates to or influences the whole.

Safety inspections should do more than simply identify hazardous conditions. They should provide useful data for the purpose of effective analysis and evaluation of the safety management system.
