Hazard Assessment
Hazard assessments in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) framework involve systematic evaluations to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential risks in the workplace. This process aims to recognize hazards that could cause harm to employees or property. OHS guidelines emphasize the importance of regular and comprehensive hazard assessments, which include inspecting equipment, work areas, and processes, as well as considering environmental factors. Assessments help in implementing control measures to eliminate or minimize risks, prioritizing safety improvements, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Engaging workers in the hazard assessment process fosters a culture of safety, promotes awareness, and empowers employees to contribute to a safer working environment by identifying and addressing potential risks proactively.
