Hazard Identification Assessment & Control Policy
BENEFIT
The starting point of hazard control is hazard identification. Once hazards are identified, they can be assessed to determine appropriate controls. While the general approach for conducting these operations is mandated by OHS laws, the specific techniques and methods are left to the employer’s discretion. The policy below is based on generally accepted best practices for hazard identification, assessment and control.
HOW TO USE THIS TOOL
