Hazard identification
Hazard identification or assessment is an important step in the overall risk assessment and risk
management process. It is where individual work hazards are identified, assessed and
controlled/eliminated as close to source (location of the hazard) as reasonably as possible. As
technology, resources, social expectation or regulatory requirements change, hazard analysis focuses
controls more closely toward the source of the hazard. Thus hazard control is a dynamic program of
prevention. Hazard‐based programs also have the advantage of not assigning or implying there are
"acceptable risks" in the workplace. A hazard‐based program may not be able to eliminate all risks, but
neither does it accept "satisfactory" – but still risky – outcomes. And as those who calculate and manage
the risk are usually managers while those exposed to the risks are a different group, workers, a hazard‐
based approach can by‐pass conflict inherent in a risk‐based approach.
