    This document discusses methods for identifying workplace hazards, including qualitative methods like walkaround inspections and job safety analyses, and quantitative methods like industrial hygiene surveys that measure noise, dust, vibrations and lighting. It also outlines a risk assessment approach involving breaking jobs into tasks, identifying hazards and who is affected, evaluating the risk based on probability and severity, and applying control measures from a hierarchy that prioritizes elimination, substitution, isolation, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment to reduce residual risk.
