Hazards and Risks Identification and Control

Learning Objective:
After reading the information sheet, you should be able to:
1. Identify safety regulations in the workplace.
2. Define hazard.
3. Differentiate the different types and methods of hazards.

Hazard Identification
The first step in reducing the likelihood of an accident is hazard identification. Hazard
identification is identifying all situations or events that could cause injury or illness.
Eliminating or minimizing workplace hazards needs a systematic approach. It is
essential to try and anticipate all possible hazards at the workplace - known as the
‗what if?' approach.

Hazards Defined
A hazard is a source or potential source of human injury, ill health or disease.
Anything which might cause injury or ill health to anyone at or near a workplace is a
hazard. While some hazards are fairly obvious and easy to identify, others are not -
for example exposure to noise, chemicals or radiation.

Types of Hazards
Hazards are classified into five different types:

 Physical - includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire, falling
objects, slippery surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing, pulling),
excessively loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold, radiation, poor
lighting, ventilation, air quality
