Key takeaways

  • Clause 6.1.2 requires ongoing, proactive hazard identification, not a one-time exercise.
  • Hazard identification must consider work organization, social factors, leadership, and activity types.
  • It must also account for past incidents, emergencies, people around the workplace, and new knowledge.
  • Managers identify hazards from observation, near-miss reports, and worker input.
  • Risks are evaluated by likelihood and severity, often using a simple risk matrix.
  • Risk assessment is a verb, not a noun, and must be continually refreshed as conditions change.
