Accurately assessing risk can help us to focus on reducing the most significant hazards. Often when conducting risk asessments, over and underestimating the risk can lead us to focusing on the wrong problems. In this quick video lesson, we use the example of using a box cutter to open boxes to accurately asses the risk and put protections in place.
A common problem with hazard assessments, is that some hazards are never identified and therefore the risk is never reduced. In this quick video training, we cover the common hazard categories to give learners a better idea of what types of issues they need to be on the lookout for and to better ensure that all significant hazards are identified.
The good news about learning to conduct a hazard assessment, is most of us do them frequently in our minds without ever realizing it.
