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.
