Overview

Hazard recognition is the first step in situational awareness.
Hazard recognition
Risk perception
Risk tolerance
Behavior & Performance
Hazard Recognition
3
What proportion of hazards can workers identify?
• Heavy Equipment
• Sharp Blade
• Vehicular Traffic
• Uneven Surfaces
• Noise
• Flying Debris
• Heat
• Crush/Pinch Point
Hazard Recognition
4
Every injury is the result of the unwanted release of one or more energy sources.
Thus, every source of energy is a hazard.
