Risk Management
We all face potential hazards in our workplaces and in our homes. Ideally we can eliminate or control many of these; however, if and when they occur, a Risk Assessment Plan is our best defense. To understand the preparation and use of such a plan,
1. Identify at least three possible risks that exist in THE workplace or home.
2. For each of the three or more risks:
Describe the task being performed when the risk might occur (washing dishes, moving a desk, etc.).
Describe the hazard type (shock, fall, etc.).
Prepare a description of how to control the hazard once it occurs (dilute, neutralize, etc.).
Choose what personal safety equipment, tools, or other items that should be readily available in advance of the hazard occurring.
