Tips for Identifying Hazards

Check Manufacturer Instructions

Always consult safety data sheets or user manuals for equipment and chemicals.

Consider Non-Routine Operations

Consider tasks like maintenance or cleaning that may introduce additional hazards.

Review Past Incidents

Review previous incident reports, near misses, or worker complaints to identify less obvious hazards.

Consult Your Workers

Open lines of communication are crucial. Survey your workers anonymously to get their input on potential hazards.

Stay Updated

Keep abreast of industry-specific information on hazards and risks. Consult industry associations, manufacturers, and suppliers for valuable insights.
