Step 4: Communicate

Companies must inform affected workers of the hazards identified in a hazard assessment. Companies must also have a process for hazard reporting and follow-up.

Remember:

• Review the hazard assessment with workers and/or safety committees
• Allow for questions
• Document the communication

Repeat or update hazard assessments at reasonable intervals or if any conditions change. Indicate reassessments with a time stamp or note.

Remember to Reassess:

• When any conditions change
• When a new process is introduced
• When a process changes
• Before additions or alterations to a work site
• When work resumes (post break)
