Hazard Guide
Identifying, Assessing, and Controlling Hazards

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)
