HAZARD MANAGEMENT

The aim of occupational health and safety hazard management is to eliminate or reduce the risk of injuries and illnesses in the workplace.

Hazard management is a process of:

• Hazard Identification – list and determine the nature of the various hazards and how unwanted incidents can occur
• Risk Assessment – determine how likely it is that injury and illness will result from the hazard and the severity of the consequence
• Risk Control – determine a suitable risk control plan to prevent the occurrence of any unwanted incident and to reduce the risk of any loss

Effective hazard management involves training and consultation with employees to understand the Process of Hazard Management.
