This analysis is most often used to help determine the best course of action wherever there is uncertainty in the outcome of events or proposed plans

This is defined as ‘any electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, nuclear, thermal, gravitational, or other energy that can harm personnel’.
Hazardous energy
The hazards at work that we need to be concerned with are the ones with the aspects of work and situations that may cause a stress response which in turn can cause a stress response which can lead to psychological or physical harm. THese often stem from what 3 things?
