Identify a Hazard: Look around your workplace and think about what may cause harm.
Consider:
• How people work and how plant and equipment are used
• What chemicals and substances are used
• What safe or unsafe work practices exist
• The general state of your premises
• Vulnerable workers, such-as expectant mothers.
Look back at your accident and ill health records as these can help you identify less obvious hazards. Take account of non-routine operations, such as maintenance, cleaning or changes in production cycles. Think about hazards to health, such as manual handling, use of chemicals and causes of work-related stress.
For each hazard, think about how employees, contractors, visitors or members of the public might be harmed. -
