HAZARD AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Be a Health & Safety Leader - know your environment, understand the risks, how to eliminate, reduce or mitigate the danger to your people and make your workplace safer.
There are several steps in the process;
-
Identification and reporting of the hazard
-
Analysis of the level of risk and seriousness of injury
-
If the risk is classified critical go to our Critical Risk page for tools to help.
-
Elimination, reduction or mitigation of the hazard
-
See our Hierarchy of Controls page for examples of this
-
Monitor the outcome and repeat as needed
