hazards in a workplace is an important assignment.
Being able to identify a potential hazard to anyone
will greatly minimize the chance of it to become a
risk.

comprehend the severity of the hazard and its
potential outcomes. It is a careful examination
on how a certain risk would affect in an

the information taken from risk assessment that
helps the management in creating plans and
changes to reduce the chances of these risks to
happen in a workplace.
