Recognizing hazards in the workplace and preparing to deal with them are key processes for all companies today.
Properly dealing with workplace risks is essential.
Hazards in the workplace take many forms. Unless employees have been trained to recognize and avoid these dangers, they may inadvertently increase their risk of serious injury. Dangerous situations benefit no one, from the workers and consumers exposed to the condition to the corporate leaders facing increased liability. It’s up to today’s companies to collectively become better at identifying and neutralizing dangerous conditions.
Risk and hazard assessment starts with considering the various categories of danger in today’s workplaces. Each industry will have a different threat profile, but no company is exempt from the need to keep all on-site personnel safe.
