Businesses can identify workplace hazards through several methods:
Risk Assessments: Conducting regular risk assessments helps identify potential hazards and evaluate the risks associated with them. Employee Feedback: Encouraging employees to report hazards and provide feedback can highlight issues that may not be immediately apparent. Safety Audits: Periodic safety audits by internal or external experts can help identify and address safety concerns. Incident Reports: Analyzing past incidents and near-misses can provide insights into recurring hazards and areas for improvement. Safety Training: Regular safety training sessions can help employees recognize and mitigate hazards in their work environment.
