What three tool are typically used to identify hazards?

There are various tools and methods used to identify hazards in a workplace, but three commonly used tools include:

1. Job Safety Analysis (JSA):

- JSA is a systematic approach to identify potential hazards associated with a specific job or task.

- It involves breaking the job into its individual steps and analyzing each step to identify potential risks and hazards.

2. Hazard Observation:

- This involves conducting regular inspections and observations of the workplace to identify unsafe conditions, practices, or behaviors.

- Workers, safety personnel, or management can perform these observations to spot hazards that may not be evident during JSA.

3. Risk Assessment:

- Risk assessment is the process of evaluating the likelihood of a hazard occurring and its potential severity.

- It helps prioritize hazards and determine appropriate control measures to mitigate risks.

These tools are valuable in systematically identifying hazards in the workplace, but they should be complemented by other techniques such as employee involvement, incident reporting, and near-miss reporting to ensure a comprehensive hazard identification process.
