What is a hazard?
A Hazard is...
anything that can cause harm to an individual when they come into contact with it.
Examples include:
chemicals
electricity
working on ladders
heavy machinery
Workplace transport
slips and trip hazards.
As part of an organisation's risk assessment, effort should be made to identify (and ideally document) the full range of hazards present in the workplace, and to record the potential risks that they pose to staff and visitors. First aid training, kits and other equipment and measures required to counteract these risks should be recorded, along with a plan of how to implement them. This plan should then be implemented to a timetable. Finally, the plan should be reviewed on a regular basis, to ensure that the information and response remain relevant.
