    HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
    AND CONTROL


    Our consultants ensure you have appropriate hazard controls in place. We undertake risk assessments to prioritise all hazards and risks, considering any ‘normal’, potential, or unusual situations. Each hazard programme is explicitly designed to suit your workplace needs - no two applications are exactly alike.

    Hazard control are the steps necessary to protect workers from exposure to hazards or harm. It is the procedures in place to monitor worker exposure and their health in relation to hazards such as chemicals, materials or substances, or other environmental effects such as noise and vibration.

    What kind of control is needed?

    Selecting an appropriate control it is not always easy. It often involves a risk assessment to prioritise the hazards and risks. In addition, both “normal” and any potential or unusual situations must be taken into account.

    Each hazard programme should be designed specifically to suit the needs of the individual workplace, so no two programmes will be exactly alike.

    Techniques for identifying hazards

    Different techniques exist for identifying hazards in the workplace, and selecting the right hazard identification technique is critical to appropriately managing the hazard and protecting those in the workplace.

    Construct Health uses a number of hazard identification techniques and tools in hazard control programmes, including:

    Hazard Control Safety Tours / Image by Scott Blake
    Safety Tours

    This is a systematic review of a plant (walk through basis) concentrating on well-known or obvious health and safety issues in a plant.

    The primary purpose is to check on nature of the hazard and the effectiveness of existing controls.

    Behaviour Sampling

    Behaviour sampling is a human behaviour assessment technique which is used during routine, generally low-risk operations in which the probability of unsafe behaviour is quite high.

    Assessment is undertaken on a systematic sampling basis to establish the proportion of unsafe work behaviours which might require correction and amendment to organisation safety management systems.

    Task Analysis

    Task analysis is a formal methodology, derived from systems analysis, which describes and analyses safety performance demands made upon humans in the workplace. Task analysis is based upon the principle that the task is the basic unit of behaviour at work.

    Hazard Control Formal Inspections
    Formal inspections

    This is the most comprehensive form of hazard ID and ascertains the overall state of the health and safety management system. Our advisors will conduct a site inspection evaluating hazards from administration through to hazardous substances. Within 48 hours you will have a report that will help you understand any risks on site and our recommendations to mitigating these.
