are ‘’potentially damaging physical events, phenomena or human
activities that may causes injury or loss of life, damage to
property, social and economic disruption, or environmental
degradation.’’ It is also a threat to our safety and survival.
(UNISDR 2007) and by understanding its nature it can help us to;

 Reduce the possible effects of hazards

 Prepare for those hazards to come
 Respond and recover to hazards

LESSON 4
In a world where on culture is not
being embraced by another’s
culture.
the process of determining all physical and nonphysical agents
in the workplace or specific environment.

Most occupational health and safety problems are caused by

hazards which are not eliminated or managed.

In order to prevent untoward incidents in a workplace or

community, elimination or controlling of hazards is crucial.
 is a way to determine which hazards and risks should
prioritized by taking into consideration the probability and
severity of impact.

Next are the steps in hazard identification and risk assessment.

 Observation
• Material Safety
Data Sheets
Hazard and Risk
Surveys

Discussion Groups

Safety Audits
To make sure risk has been minimized, and a further hazard
has not been created, the new safety measures may need
to be carefully tested before work begins again .

Risk assessment doesn‘t end with making changes. It is

essential that these changes made are monitored and
checked.
