Workplace hazard assessment and control is the process of identifying hazards in the workplace and eliminating them or reducing either the probability they will occur or their likely consequences.
Chemical, physical, and biological hazards
A baseline analysis identifies initial hazards in the workplace and is modified as the workplace changes.
Three steps to hazard control are: Hazard Identification: Recognize and assess potential hazards in the workplace or environment. Risk Assessment: Evaluate the likelihood and severity of harm that could result from identified hazards to prioritize control measures. Implementation of Control Measures: Apply appropriate strategies to eliminate or reduce the risks, which may include engineering controls, administrative changes, or personal protective equipment.
The hazards in a workplace depend on the nature of the work performed there and are too numerous to list without specifying a particular type of workplace.
The safety hazards in a workplace will be very different depending on what is being done in the particular workplace. Without that information, hazards can only be guessed at, not listed with any degree of confidence.
No. The EPA regulates environmental hazards. OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, regulates workplace hazards.
No, a baseline analysis identifies initial hazards in the workplace.
There are too many possible hazards to list them unless a specific type of workplace is indicated.
A hazard is something dangerous. The workplace is where you work.
Always report workplace hazards to your manager, if it is your workplace, or to the manager responsible for the location where the hazard exists if it is not your workplace - unless the company has established some other process for reporting hazards.
