Formal hazard assessments
Identification of hazards associated with every position/job task identified in a company’s organizational chart
Review formal hazard assessments
Annually
When a process changes
After an incident
When new work is introduced
Formal hazard assessment uses
Identify hazards associated with each job in the company
