FAQs

What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?

A hazard refers to any potential source of harm or danger, such as a chemical substance or a faulty piece of equipment. Risk, on the other hand, is the likelihood and severity of harm that may result from the exposure to a hazard. In other words, a hazard is the potential danger, while risk is the chance of that danger causing harm.

What are the different types of workplace hazards?

Workplace hazards can be categorized into several types, including physical hazards (e.g., noise, temperature extremes), chemical hazards (e.g., toxic substances, flammable materials), biological hazards (e.g., bacteria, viruses), ergonomic hazards (e.g., repetitive motion, poor workstation design), and psychosocial hazards (e.g., workplace violence, stress).

What is the difference between conducting safety observations and hazard identification?

Whilst they are very similar, and many solutions combine the two, a safety observation is organized and planned. During a specific period of time, a conductor focuses on identifying hazards and generating a report. Hazard Identification is continually ongoing, with everyone reporting any hazards as they identify them in the field.
