could hurt you or someone that the hazard will hurt harm to health add safeguards, use safest

FOUR STEPS
You need to take into account the different
situations/conditions that may exist in your workplace that

• Fatality
• Major injuries (significant long-term effects)
• Minor injuries (usually requiring several days off work)
