MODULE THREE: IDENTIFYING HAZARDS

Review Documents

Assessing the workplace wouldn't be complete without thoroughly reviewing existing documents to determine what kind of hazards have existed in the workplace prior to the assessment. Actually, document review may considered both an assessment tool and an analysis tool. Not only are we able to determine the hazards that have caused accidents in the past, we can analyze to uncover trends in the types, locations, date/time, etc. for accidents.

Review these documents to assess workplace hazards

• OSHA 300 Log (of course)
• First Report of Injury
• Maintenance work orders
• Accident reports
• Safety committee minutes
• Safety suggestions
• Training evaluations
