Spillages:
Identify areas where spillages are likely to occur, such as near liquid storage areas.
Develop spill response procedures, including providing spill kits and training on how to clean up spills
safely.
Inflammable Materials:
Identify the presence of flammable substances and their storage locations.
Ensure that flammable materials are stored in appropriate containers and away from potential
ignition sources. Implement fire prevention measures and conduct fire drills.
Material Ejection:
Identify processes that involve the ejection of materials, such as from machines or tools.
Install safety barriers, shields, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect employees from
ejected materials.
Unshielded Processes:
Identify any processes that lack appropriate shielding to protect employees from harmful radiation,
heat, or emissions.
Install shielding or enclosures to safeguard workers from exposure to hazards.
Working at Heights:
Identify areas and tasks that require employees to work at heights.
Implement fall protection measures, such as guardrails, safety harnesses, and training on working
safely at heights.
In each case, it's important to document your findings, assess the level of risk, and implement control
measures to minimize or eliminate the identified hazards. Regularly review and update your risk
assessments as circumstances change and ensure that all employees are aware of and trained on the
safety measures in place.
