Study Notes
Hazard Identification and Assessment
- The purpose of hazard identification and assessment is to identify, evaluate, and prioritize hazards to determine the likelihood and potential impact of an incident or injury.
Categories of Hazards
- The two categories of hazards at a worksite are:
- Inherent hazards (exist naturally in the workplace)
- Acquired hazards (result from the work process or activities)
Purpose of Hazard Assessment
- The purpose of hazard assessment is to identify and evaluate the level of risk associated with a hazard.
Hazard Re-Assessment
- Hazard re-assessment is necessary when changes occur in the workplace, such as new equipment, processes, or procedures.
- The purpose of hazard re-assessment is to re-evaluate the level of risk associated with a hazard and implement new controls or modify existing ones.
Implementation of Change
- Employees typically drive the implementation of change by submitting a request for engineering controls through design and modification.
Inspections and Preventive Maintenance
- The purpose of inspections and preventive maintenance scheduling is to ensure that controls are functioning as intended and to identify potential hazards before they cause an incident.
- Inspections and preventive maintenance scheduling are also used to verify the effectiveness of established controls.
Control Measures
- The purpose of control measures is to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury or illness from identified hazards.
- The three ways to eliminate or control identified hazards in the workplace are:
- Engineering controls (designing out the hazard)
- Administrative controls (changing work procedures or practices)
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Preventative Measures
- Examples of preventative measures mentioned in the text include:
- Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
- Inspections and preventive maintenance scheduling
- Hazard identification and assessment
Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
- Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is also known as Job Hazard Analysis (JHA).
- The purpose of performing a JSA is to identify and assess hazards associated with a specific job or task.
- The purpose of a JSA is to identify hazards and implement controls to prevent injuries or illnesses.
Hazard Identification and Assessment Process
- The hazard identification and assessment process is an ongoing process that involves continuous monitoring and evaluation of hazards in the workplace.
