ABSTRACT
Hazard identifi cation is a process controlled by management. You must assess the outcome of the hazard identifi cation process and determine whether immediate action is necessary or whether, in fact, there is an actual hazard involved. When you do not view a reported hazard as an actual hazard, it is critical to the ongoing process to inform the worker that you do not view it as a true hazard and explain why. This will ensure the continued cooperation of workers in hazard identifi cation.
