Hazard Identification

One of the essential elements of the health and safety management system is hazard identification. It is the foundation for developing safe work procedures, establishing prevention programs and making other precautions to eliminate or control the hazards.  Risk is that the chance that a hazard will cause harm. Hazard identification process involves identifying both existing and potential workplace hazards, assessing the risks, determining and implementing the controls, and reviewing hazards. Employers have the legal responsibility to identify and control, to the best of their ability, workplace hazards in order to protect workers. Likewise, workers have the right to know about the hazards of the job and how to protect themselves, and the responsibility to follow company rules that outline the hazard control processes.
