Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

  • Identify a list of hazards that your business can encounter as you resume the business. For each hazard, decide on the level of impact each will have on your business. Here is a brief guide on how to assess impact:
     Negligible – limited to no business disruptions or property damage
     Marginal – a hindrance that may affect business operations without
    shutting down, you have no minor damage, it may be an occurrence
    in the surrounding neighborhood
     Critical – temporary disruptions of business or major damage to the
    facility, impacts are to the community
     Catastrophic – a disaster that affects entire regional community causing business disruptions and forces closure of building(s). This is
    an event of large proportions. It can include complete destruction, multiple injuries or deaths, and a regional event which means limited or no outside resources available for prolonged periods of time.
