Overview
How do you identify hazards? Consider what could cause the injuries and illnesses your employees could have when they are at work – then determine how to eliminate or control those hazards. Here are six things you can do to get started:
- Conduct a baseline hazard survey.
- Perform regular workplace inspections.
- Do a job-hazard analysis.
- Use safety data sheets to identify chemical hazards.
- Look for new hazards whenever you change equipment, materials, or work processes.
- Investigate incident and accidents to determine root causes.
