Hazard Identification and Assessment
This involves a thorough review that includes but is not limited to;
- Materials handling, transportation, equipment or product installation, hoisting, temporary structures, materials storage and commissioning activities
- Environmental concerns
- Consultation with the client concerning potential hazards
- Proximity to traffic and public ways
- Tools such as material safety data sheets to determine potential hazards from on-site materials
Construction sites are dynamic, which is why hazard assessment should be an ongoing process. Once hazards are identified, you should then assess the potential risk each hazard poses. For each hazard ask;
- What can go wrong?
- What are the consequences?
