Hazard Recognition – Part 3 Safety

Hazard Recognition – Part 3

Identify Hazards! The following questions should be asked, to help predict what could go wrong and how risks might be controlled:

  • Is the site and the job the same as depicted on the prints?
  • Are the necessary materials available to perform the work?
  • Does everyone have the proper tools to perform the tasks at hand?
  • Are there enough workers to handle the job? Have they all had safety training?
  • Are environmental conditions such as light, noise and weather a factor?
  • Are there too many people in the area to work safely?
  • Have other sub’s on the job been notified about hazardous tasks or materials?

Don’t wait for accidents to occur! Think and plan ahead!
