Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Policy

This Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) Policy establishes a structured approach for identifying workplace hazards, assessing associated risks, and implementing effective control measures. It is a cornerstone of your company’s commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for employees, contractors, and visitors.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Hazard Identification: Covers physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and environmental hazards through Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and workplace inspections.
• Risk Assessment: Uses a risk matrix to evaluate and prioritize risks based on severity and likelihood, documented in a regularly updated Risk Register.
• Control Measures: Implements the Hierarchy of Controls, emphasizing elimination, substitution, and engineering solutions.
• Continuous Improvement: Includes regular reviews, audits, and employee feedback to enhance the HIRA process.

This policy aligns with ISO 45001 and OSHA standards, ensuring a proactive and systematic approach to workplace safety and risk management.
