Description

One of the main reasons for workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents is workers not being able to identify or recognize hazards related to a given task or work. Hazard identification and risk assessment are the basis of health and safety management. Before beginning any job, employees should always evaluate their work areas for potential hazards.

A risk assessment is simply another way of saying to conduct a review of what could cause harm to people during particular work assignments or tasks. Based on these risk assessments the employer can weigh up whether it has taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm to their employees.

Our hazard recognition toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where hazards and risks are present.
